I Am Irrationally Irked At Customers Who Throw Off My Groove

So, I have a second job working nights at Panera. A lot of nights. Most nights. 

I work a lot.

Anyway.

Many a time during the night shift, we have lulls without any customers. I love these lulls. I am exceptionally irked when they end. There are several reasons for this. 

The main reason is this:
Customers throw off my groove. 

I am a cashier. This sounds absurd. 
But you know what?
I'm not absurd. 
I'm just a very musical person. 
Ringing people up doesn't (usually) involve music.
(This is a false statement when I am ringing you up.)
(Which is awkward.)
(For you.)

But part of my job is to make you feel comfortable. ("Panera, your everyday oasis." Yeah, that's a real slogan.)
So I have to stop.
Which means,
Congratulations customer, you just threw off my groove.

It's kind of like this:





If it wasn't clear, the customer is the old man in this situation. 


You know, sometimes I just want to belt Gaga or Adele without being judged. Is that really so much to ask?


Okay, yeah. 
Apparently.


Add some sass to your class,
Jenna
