Greetings all, new member here, and former cashier for a now closed out market chain. My stint at that job brought some great stories about buttmunch customers, but one of my favorites, I was involved in was after I left.
I was in line waiting to but whatever it was and looking forward to sharing a smile with a former co-worker who was working the register.
Infront of me was the current customer(snobbish nose in the air and complete with a condenseding tone).
The cast of characters in this little scene are:
Me- the Hero, former employee and free to rip mouthy jack-wads a new one
SE- the suffering employee
SC- self explanitory
The SE was ringing up SC and as everyone knows, SCs have way too many important things to do than wait for a transaction to complete.
SC "God... how hard can this job be?"
Me- Big smile I lean on the belt right behind her and say in a loud cheery voice: "Do YOU know how to do it?"
Judging by the look on SE's face she'd already had a crappy day an this evil woman was pushing the wrong buttons. Normally I'd have kept my smart assed mouth shut but the SC hit a nerve. I didnt have anything to lose and after dealing with her types for too long, I decided to call her know it all bluff.
When the Gods of Murpys law smiled upon the market and crashed the computer core. Now everyone who has been there knows this is just a delay of a few minutes maximum.
SE "I apologize for the wait, the main computer shut down, we have to wait for it to come back up. It'll just be a minute or two."
SC "Tsk! Well...I dont have all night!"
Me- "A few minutes means all night? By god! What happened to the time continum!!"<sp>
(Yes I let my Star Trek loving geekiness come out in spades at that moment)
SE knowing if she makes eye contact with me will bust out laughing since she knows what a smart ass I am, avoids looking at me at all costs
SC refuses to look at me...after all...what would I know? I'm not agreeing with her.
The computer comes back up and SC gets her change and receit, starts to flounce (yes flounce I say) away when I blurt out "Hey I see pliers are on sale! They're great for pulling the stick out!"
Wasnt much but a bit of defense for a former co-worker and finally being able to freely vent back at a SC. But I tell ya... we had a great laugh at her expense.
