I was out on Saturday, looking for some ornament hooks for my tree. The only place I could think of was CVS, and lo and behold, there they were, 100 for only 79 cents! So, I got them, and took them to the register, and this is where the adventure began with the two women in front of me:
WSC1: Woman sucky customer 1
WSC2: Woman sucky customer 2
C: Cashier
C: Okay, maam, your total is $5.32
WSC1: I need some Winston Lights.
C: One moment (and he started looking.....)
WSC1: Young man, it's a gold box (being he was supposed to find them NOW!!!)
C: Yes, maam. Your total is now $10.58
WSC1: Don't you sell stamps? I need a book of them.
C: We do sell stamps. One book, correct?
WSC1: That's what I said, young man.
C: Your total is now $18.19.
WSC1: How much?
C: $18.19.
WSC1: (Hands "young man" a $20 bill.)
C: (Starts ringing up WSC1)
WSC1: Wait, how much in change was it?
C: 19 cents.
WSC1: (As she digs in her purse for change, brings out two nickels)
C: It's 19 cents, maam.
WSC1: Oh, darn. Hang on (digs through her purse some more and gets out nine pennies)
C: Thank you (and gave her the change).
Now, this is what happened with WSC2. When it was her turn, WSC1 would not move out of her way, and was rummaging through her purse looking for her cigarette lighter, as well as trying to open her pack of smokes.
WSC2: Before you ring me up, I need to see what my balance is on this card (which was a prepaid AT&T gift card).
C: (Rings it through) I'm sorry, but it has a zero balance.
WSC2: That's not right. You need to check it again. (WSC1 has still not moved out of the way of WSC2, nor does she even care that she's still there)
C: I'm sorry, but your balance is zero.
WSC2: You need to keep checking.
Finally, a nice employee in the film department announced, "I'll take the next customer waiting!"
I got my hooks and left, and WSC2 was still arguing with the cashier, as if he's at fault for not being able to tell her what she wanted to hear, but WSC1 had left, or so I thought. When I got out to my car, she was out there, still rummaging through her purse, now trying to light her cigarette, and was parked right next to my car! At least she was standing in a place where she wasn't blocking the walk way.
