A kid about twelve or so comes up to my counter (by himself - this is important for later) and places an order. So I ring him up and then tell him his total. There was a small group of people gathered about three feet behind him, standing nowhere near this kid, not even in my line yet, just on the periphery of it. As soon as I announced the kid's total and looked at him expectantly, the older woman in the group springs forward all of a sudden, waving her arms and shaking her head, extremely aggitated, and exclaimed "No! We're all together!" Then she proceeds to glare at me. Well, sorry. Maybe if you had all come up to the counter together, instead of your son coming up by himself while everyone else stands off to the side, I would have had some idea. It's okay, calm down, I'm in a good mood today so I'll let everyone else in your family order something too.

Oh, but remember, when you were hired for that job you got a uniform, a nametag, and AMAZING MIND READING POWERS! Don't you know you're supposed to use them in situations such as these?"Penny Lou Pingleton, you are absolutely, positively, permanently punished! You will live on a diet of saltines and tang, and you'll never leave this room again....Devil child! Devil child!"

Quoth Broomjockey View PostOkay, but we're going to have to charge you $5 for the replacement. You gonna be more careful with this one? Or should I put it on a lanyard for you?

Gah. I hate that. "We're all together!"
Well how am *I* supposed to know that? If its that important to you, why don't you all go out and get matching "Sucky Customer" t-shirts so you're easier to spot as a group?
If you have to ask, it's probably better posted at www.fratching.com
