I guess I set my expectations too high for people and some days things bother me more than others. Today I went to (we’ll call it the “Y”) for privacy’s sake. I asked the worker who was at the counter if I could sign up my kids for a soccer club beginning next month, if it wasn’t full, I told her. She first had no clue of such club and asked if I wanted Itty Bitty Soccer. I said no, I wanted the soccer club. “All we have is Itty Bitty Soccer.” I said I talked to someone who said there was a soccer club. She asked who I talked to. I said “the guy who runs the soccer club.” She looked at her list and lo and behold there was a soccer club. Not the sharpest tack in the box. So she hands me the paperwork, and says “yes, there’s room.” So I fill it out and write the check. She takes it and sits at the computer. Tap, tap, tap. Pause. “Oh,” she says “looks like we’re full.” I say, “So, I did all this for nothing,” pointing at the paperwork. She snottily replies, “We don’t update it every hour or anything.” I said, “You could have looked it up before I filled out all the papers.” She just stares at me. I walk out. Was it unreasonable to think that “Y” employee would look at a more reliable source before handing out paperwork? I have Wednesday issues.
