Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Have you ever had that one or two or even unlimited

amount of rude customers who just deliberately trying to

ruin your life on the job?

I know I have, I mean heck rude people are just

unavoidable in life Period

I remember back in college, I worked part time at two different places

One was at a gas station where I worked as a cashier

And the other was at a Japanese restaurant where I worked as a waiter

Now working part time jobs wasn't something I wanted to do forever

But at the time, I was a broke college kid trying to pay for his tuition

It's not like I had much of a choice

As much as it pain me to watch most of my friends

go to college and easily get the nices dorms,

and clothes, and cars because they all had a little friend named

DADDY'S WALLET.

I was perfectly fine working a couple of part-time jobs just to get me through school

I mean, I've technically been working part-time job

since I was in 7th Grade, when my mom

got me a job at her friend's sushi restaurant where I worked as a dishwasher

But then eventually worked my way up to waiter

Although I did end up quitting that job because

my mom thought it was a good idea for me to not only

work there but also get private math tutor in front of the boss everyday

An hour before my shift!

And being an ex-army veteran, let's just say I didn't end up learning that much

WHAT IS THE SQUARE ROOT OF 7 BILLION AND 23!?

25?

WRONG!!! You are worthless!

Drop and give me 20!!!

*drops and hands over 20 dollars*

Anyway, that was how I pretty much made all of my money in middle school and nearly high school

But it was college when I really had to start dealing with some super rude people who

I swear to have everything that only had a Vendetta against me

I seriously must of have ran over their cat in another life

or eaten their pop-tarts, 'Cause some of this people would just straight out for blood

Yeah alright, there's your change. Have a nice day!

What did you just say to me?

I... said have a nice day?

You just did it again!

Don't you know this is a free country?

Don't tell me what to do

Who do you think you are?

Uhh...I'm.. Terry

There's uhh.. There's my nametag

Well Terry, you just earned yourself a complaint

Let me speak to your manager

Sure thing!

What can I do for you sir?

You're not the manager..

I'm the acting manager when no one else is around

Well when do they get back in?

They're gone for the day, so not until tomorrow morning

Would you like me to provide you with a corporate number that you can call?

But just a heads up, I've called them before to ask on how to perform a clean up on aisle 2

And trust me.

*whispers* Ya're might be on hold for awhilee

I honestly don't know why I get to deserve some of the harrassment I received on the job

But to be fair, I think some of the people I dealt with

were just having a bad day and

needed someone to take it out on

But that doesn't mean you or anyone deserves

to be treated unfairly

If I can tell that the customer was more less having a bad day

I try my best to defuse the situation

Which of course was standard procedure for the job

No, I'm serious. We even had a rule written on the counter that said

That we had to smile when we to customers on the phone because it helped make us sound more friendly

*phone ringing*

Hello, thanks for calling Gotgo

*manager clears throat*

*sighs*

*smiles* What can I do for you today?

By the way, did I tell you guys I'm getting new merch?

That's right! NEW!

It's been forever since I updated my merch store

So I think it's best to just do a complete revamp

Meaning, all if not most of the items that you see here

Are for the most part probably going away :(

So if you guys want to get any of the old school merch

before it's all completely gone

Then feel free to check out the first link in the description

But back to rude customers and defusing tense situations

I don't care if she's your cousin

You don't take your cousin to the beach in a Speedo!

Oh, is that right?

I don't care if it's a one piece instead of a bikini!

You still wore a Speedo!!!

Welcome to GotGo, Miss Marse. How may I help you?

Just a minute Marty, I'll deal with you later

Just my usual chocolate bar, Terry

And make it snappy

that'll be $1.25

Oh for the love of Hershey, where's my wallet

I must of left it at home..This day just keeps getting worse..

I just wanted my chocolate bar and my breath..

In times like this, you can clearly see the customer's having a bad day

And rather than making it worse by denying her, her precious chocolate

How about you just take the candy bar today and pay for it tomorrow?

I know you're a regular

What? Really??

You'd do that for me?

Of course! It's the least I can do for a loyal customer

Well, Shucks

I don't know what to say

You just made my terrible day much better

Not a problem, happy to help!

Well, see you tomorrow then

Now where was I?

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WORE A SPEEDO TO THE BEACH WITH YOUR COUSIN!

What is wrong with you, Marty!?

Now of course, not all of he problems took place at the counter

Some of them happened out at the pumps

Excuse me, sir

It's actually a fire hazard to be smoking at the gas station

I'm gonna have to ask you to put that out

What this?

Kid, do you really think I'm dumb enough to drop this cigarette into my gas tank?

Well, probably not but even the fumes from the gasoline flowing to your gas tank right now

are capable of igniting, just from being near from that cigarette

And on top of that, if a single bit of ash that still has a bit of flame to it where it would fall on the ground

anywhere near these gas puddles, that could also lead the entire place to going up

So please, if you would-- Listen kid,

I'm almost done, alright? I ain't wasting my

smoke on a count that you're tying to be the employee of the month at a gas station

Why don't you go mop the bathroom floor or something and actually be useful?

Alllrightt thennn

• Have you ever had that one or two or even unlimited amount of rude customers who just deliberately trying to ruin your life on the job?

  ➔ Use of 'ever' in a question to inquire about experience, and the use of 'amount' with uncountable nouns (customers).

  ➔ The sentence uses a question structure to engage the audience and asks if they've **'ever'** experienced rude customers. The phrase 'unlimited **amount** of customers' is grammatically correct, though 'number' might sound more natural.

• I seriously must of have ran over their cat in another life or eaten their pop-tarts, 'Cause some of this people would just straight out for blood

  ➔ Use of 'must have' to express speculation about the past. Colloquial contraction 'Cause' for 'because'.

  ➔ The phrase '**must have ran**' is a common, though grammatically incorrect, colloquialism. The correct form is '**must have run**'. The use of '**Cause**' is informal and typical of spoken language. The sentence expresses a humorous, exaggerated speculation.

• Well Terry, you just earned yourself a complaint

  ➔ Direct address using a name ('Terry') and the use of 'earned' in the sense of deserving something negative.

  ➔ The sentence directly addresses the person named '**Terry**'. The verb '**earned**' is used ironically, implying that Terry has *deserved* a complaint due to their actions.

• They're gone for the day, so not until tomorrow morning

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of repeated information) - 'They will not be back' is implied. Use of 'so' as a conjunction indicating consequence.

  ➔ The sentence is concise and relies on **ellipsis**. The full sentence would be something like, 'They are gone for the day, **so** they won't be back **until** tomorrow morning.' The '**so**' indicates a cause-and-effect relationship.
