How do I keep attracting these people? HOW?

That is so freakin' hilarious! I'm laughing my ass off here. I gotta do that!

Actually, I think I have done that once or twice on the phone...

[EmilyRose1982]

Oh my god, I laughed my ass off at that youtube video! I'm so tempted to use that at work to asshole customers......

How is it possible that all these people thought you worked at all these different places??? Maybe they were drunk/high or just had too few brain cells to compare your clothing to the uniform of the workers around them.

All those people should be forced to wear "The Sign". In fact, next time, just tell them, "Here's your sign..." Print some off too, so you can hand them out!

[Tolly]

Please tell me you haven't barricaded yourself inside your house and are now refusing to step food outside the door ... although I doubt anybody'd blame you if you had! Do you have a couple of clones running around out there somewhere??

Tempted. Very, very tempted. But I needed to pay my rego today... Thankfully, the curse seems to have been broken! The answer? Wear headphones! Who knew?

[Zaiida]

Oh Dear God, Lupo's weirdos haven't migrated have they!?

Headphones don't always work, there is always some idiot who will yank them out. The last time someone did that to me ended up with an arm to the gut and busted eardrums. I spun around too fast and got him in the belly and the busted eardrums were from his wife . Apparently he didn't know she was still in our section of the store.

People really need a less rude way to ask someone who is wearing headphones where they got their hat from. Yanking them out and yelling 'HEY DEAF BITCH' is not conductive to your home life if your wife catches you acting that way. I'd never seen a grown man actually scuttle shamefully before out a store chased by his wife.

Glad the rego renew went well and you wern't grabbed or snarled at.

[Tolly]

The rego actually went really, really well, and I think the ladies working there were happy to have someone thank them profusely for getting the payment sorted out so quickly. I had to leave it til the last minute this year, and I did not like.

All I need now is a T-Shirt that says "I don't work retail" and I think I'll be set.

[Beckpatton]

My Lord!! You have my sympathies!

[ThirdGenRetail]

Oh Dear God, Lupo's weirdos haven't migrated have they!?

I think they may just be on vacation... Poor Tolly

Also, were your headphones okay? I know if someone did that to me... I'd probably first try to punch them(Key word: Try. I confess to horrid punching ability). Failing that, I'd begin beating them with my headphones and demanding the $20 it'd cost to replace them!

[Zaiida]

Nah they were fine, these headphones are the $9.90 ones from the supermarket and I replace them every 6 months because they are not robust at all (electrical tape near the heads) but they are the best headphones I can find for under 80$. Best headphones I've ever used were my very old sansa earbuds but they don't make them anymore that I can find .

I break headphones a lot so it makes no sense for me to spend the $$ if I'm going to break them with my ass or get them hooked on everything.

Also, didja know you can give someone a really nice welt when you whip them with a headphone cord?

Although, nothing beats the look on their face if you cock your head at them and start signing (or faking it).

That would require that the cursetomers read...

I must admit, this is the first time I've heard of anyone who has the "RetailWorker" aura about them, who has never worked in retail -- I get this sort of thing from time to time (tho I've not worked retail in years) -- maybe it's just an aura of competence?

I think that's the problem. We look like we've got a clue.

I think the drop bears took over immigration

UNless you're transferring rego papers over or you have a complex situation, did you know that you can pay at the post office?

Also judging by your claims of it being too bloody hot, I'm guessing you live in the eastern states?

[EricKei]

OK, OK, I've gotten a vague idea from context, but please explain..."Rego"? Registration? o_O

Are you kidding? I haven't worked face to face with the general public since Bush the first was in office and I still get people who think I work where ever I happen to be at the time. I dress like a slob most of the time, since wearing anything tight around my waist makes where they did the surgery hurt and I still get people who think I work at: CVS (pharmacy), WAWA (sort of like a 7-11, but better) Wegman's (grocery store) Giant (another grocery store) and Wendy's. It doesn't matter if Mr. Mis is with me, I still work there in their mind. The only time I don't get bothered is when the big guy is with me. He happens to be over 6 feet tall and built like a football player. Plus, I tell him to eat people when they annoy me.

Careful. Most SC's are loaded with cholesterol.

And another Wegman's veteran! Yay! I wish they had them in my current neck of the woods.
