I hated work the last few days. I work in a grocery store, so we were extremely busy with the holiday this week. We always give out coupons for free turkeys with $250 in purchases over a two month period.
On Wednesday a lady came through my line with a fresh turkey and the coupon. It specifically states on the coupon that it must be a frozen turkey that's free, or 99 cents off a pound for fresh turkeys. She argured with me that she didn't want to pay for the 50 cents a pound the fresh turkey would have been after the coupon, and she wanted it for free. I told her that wasn't possible, only the frozen turkeys were free, and she started with how she couldn't have a frozen turkey since Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and it wouldn't defrost in time. So apparently she wanted a free fresh one since A) she's cheap, and B) she couldn't plan ahead and pick up a turkey a few days ago.
There were also customers complaining Wednesday night that we were out of the brand they wanted, or that the turkeys were "picked over." Well duh, it's the night before Thanksgiving, what did they expect?
I also love the one bagger at work, who always bags for me. Every time a turkey came through the line, she'd complain because the turkey was too heavy, and she couldn't lift it. Now I get the older retired part-time ladies not being able to handle the turkeys to well, but they did, and without complaining, but this is a twenty-some year old girl who is in fine physical condition, who can pick them up without complaining, I mean, the heaviest turkeys were only 20 pounds or so.
