I had three...interesting customers today, it being Saturday. Backstory on the first customer, I work at Tjmaxx. You can probably imagine the annoying questions we're getting right now about the whole computer thing, and we're not allowed to talk about it. So here goes:
Me (self explanitory, gorgeous redhead, tight tshirt, the usual): Your total is $..., is that debit or credit?
PFG (paranoid funny guy): Why, are you going to steal my identity?
Me: Why would I want to do that?
PFG: Well, this is Tjmaxx, isn't it?
Me: Why yes sir *hands him receipt* Thank you so much! You have a great day!
Next lady just annoyed me, and she came right after the last guy.
PC (preachy crunchy (crunchy being a hippie sort)): Have you seen the traffic out there! Wow it's bad.
Me: I know. I was going to go across town for lunch, but when I saw the traffic, I decided to walk across the street to KFC instead.
PC: *is quiet a moment as I ring up her stuff* Oh, sweetie, you shouldn't eat fast food. You can bring lunch!
ME: But that would require me cooking.
PC: No it wouldn't. You can bring carrot sticks!
Me: Meh. They don't have enough transfats for me. Thank you so much! Have a great day!
And finally, a few hours later, I am covering in jewelry, rather than register (and what do you know, neither of those places are where I belong!) when I get this gem. We'll just call her G for Gem.
Me: Did you need help in jewelry?
G: Yes.
Me: Ok, I'll be right with you, as soon as I find the girl with the key. (I walk off to find the girl with the key...then I walk back past the customer again)
G: Helooooooooooo....
Me: I'll be right with you. I still need the key. (I end up using the manager's key, since she was right there)
G: Can I see those magnets? The Swarovski ones?
Me: Of course.
G: Can you read me the instructions?
Me: Sure....sticks to metal, don't put it near a computer. (she nods)
G: Are they reusable?
Me: Um....yes, I think they are.
G: Will they stick to skin?
Me: Um...(want to say 'Sure, if you're a Robot, but I don't) I don't think so.
G: Oh, well, they were going to be a gift. I'll have to ask my husband about that then. Have a nice day.
