Return of Oscar the Grouch part III (long)
First, a lil history.
Oscar the Grouch is the name I've recently given to an old, ANNOYING, COMPLAINING man that shops here. He'll find a reason to call someone from the Bakery to the cash to complain loudly about something totally idiotic he made up. EVERY TIME.
Now, a detailled recap of the first two encounters with Grouchtastic Oscar.
#1. This bread sucks!
OtG: Oscar the grouch.
TL: TinyLisa, my manager.
OtG: What the--? WHERE'S THE OTHER BREAD?
TL: It got discontinued. This is the new bread.
OtG: BUT THIS STUFF IS ALL DRIED UP AND TASTES LIKE SHIT!
TL: This is new bread we just got. It wasn't sold before.
OtG: BUT IT'S BAD AND DRY AND TASTES AWFUL! I WANT THE OTHER BREAD!
TL: We don't have it anymore (This lady has way more patience than me).
OtG: I'LL TELL MICHEL YOU'RE WITHOLDING BREAD FROM ME! I'M NEVER SHOPPING HERE AGAIN!
Sure enough...
#2 I've been shopping here for 15 years...
OtG: Same jerk.
Me: Poor lil Shiro-chan...
I had 4 raisin breads on hold for OtG and waited as long as I could (read waited=finding all the work possible inside the department). But nature calls and I can't put her on hold, so I hurried up to the break room to relieve the pressure. As I come back (I time myself, I took 4 minutes 30 seconds), HE'S WALKING OUT of my department all happy he got his bread!
Oh you know that ain't the end of it.
Bakery employee to the cash please (God forbid they use the till number, we might find who needs our help too easily...) Guess who it was?
Cashier: Do you know about this Shiro? This man says that when you order breads early, you knock off 10¢ each bread.
Me: What? No!
OtG: WHAT? That's not true young lady! You've always done that!
Me: No we didn't.
OtG: YES YOU DID! I'VE BEEN SHOPPING HERE FOR 15 YEARS AND YOU'VE ALWAYS DONE THAT!
Me: I've been working here for three and we've never...
OtG: SHE DOES THIS EVERYTIME WE TALK! (First time ever we talk, actually) I'M NOT CRAZY! I'M TELLING YOU YOU KNOCK 10¢ OFF EACH BREAD WHEN I ORDER THEM EARLY! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! I'LL TALK TO MICHEL!!
Me:
*about to invite him to Michel's office*
It just so happen Michel (store manager) was there with his groceries, he turned around and asked what was going on. OtG just loked at him, shook is head, screamed "AUGH, NEVERMIND!" picked up his bread and left.
Upon explaining the 10¢ thing to Michel, he frowned, shrugged and replied "That's not true!"
Which leads us to story #3 that happened before my shift today!
#3 This bread got expensive!
OtG: Same b-tard.
TL:TinyLisa. I love that woman.
OtG is buying 10 baguette breads. Note that those are the dry pieces of shit he complained about in the first story. TinyLisa just put thm in the display and he took them all. Of course, he calls her to the till cuz he wants to complain~
OtG: In WHAT HONOR has the breads gotten to 1.29$?
TL: What do you mean sir?
OtG: I MEAN I bought the same bread LAST WEEK and it was 1,21$!!! WHY IS IT MORE EXPENSIVE?!?
TL: It's not. It has always been 1,29$. I have NOTHING in my department that ends with 1¢.
OtG: IT WAS 1,21$ LAST WEEK!
TL (Cool as can be): Well sir, you just bring your receipt from last week so we can compare, and you get what you deserve~
OtG: WADDYAMEAN??!?
TL: Well (insert birds, flowers and rainbows here) If you saw 1,21$, then it was a pricing mistake, and if it's charged at 1,29$, then the cashier should hve given it to you (stupid store policy if you ask me) So if you just bring last week's receipt, we can work something out~
OtG: YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I DON'T HAVE LAST WEEK'S RECEIPT!
TL: Then I can't help you sir~
OtG:
BUT I PAID THIS BREAD 1,21$ IT SHOULDN'T GET MORE EXPENSIVE SO FAST, IT'S A RECENT BREAD!
TL: Yes sir, it's recent. Since January. It's been 1,29$ since then. And another thing. It's the same bread that YOU gave ME shit for because it was dried out and tasted like crap even if it was the first day ever it was put on sale. You're buying 10. Have a nice day.
And she walked away.
There you have it, Oscar the Grouch, a now reoccuring axehole in my store.
