Okay, I'm bad with faces when I first meet people. Unless they have some kind of distinguishing aspect, doing something very memorable, or I spend like 5 hours with them the first time we meet, I probably won't remember them.
People who only show up for 5 minutes at a time... yeah that's going to take me a while.
I've had several people get used to the fact that I probably won't recognize them, and have their ID ready for me because it makes everything easier. (One was a 19-year old kid who would just hold it out as he asked, made my life easier.)
Then you have the people who just rant at me.
"I'M IN HERE EVERYDAY!"
"You don't recognize me?"
"You carded me yesterday!"
If my Boss is within earshot he'll usually let out a "Well she's carding you again! Get it out or get out!" Since these are typically the people who only come in for one pack of cigarettes and that's it. No big loss if they get offended.
You are not so special. You do not give me a raging wet dream (because I would obviously remember you if you had!) If I was male I'd probably go flaccid at the thought of you, but that's a whole 'nother issue. I see at least a hundred, if not more, people every day, many of them who are much nicer to me.
Ugh, I feel like I may have ranted about this before... just built up again I suppose.
Lotto!
Before asking for a game like Numbers, Lucky for Life, Powerball, etc. make sure you have enough freaking money on you for all the tickets. Numbers I will forgive, because I can at least cancel those, but for all the other ones? Hell no. You did not just make me print out a $10 lotto ticket to laugh and say "Whoops, only have $2 on me, oh well, I'm not getting it."
That costs the store money. The boss is kind enough to not imply or try to intimidate the cashiers into buying misprinted tickets, and handing off an single draw of a game is typically not that hard... but a $10.00 ticket? Jerks.
