Don't drink drive, it's a laundry powder.

Around 10 am today (yes that's ten in the morning) I had a loud and obnoxious customer. On the way into the store he threw an empty beer can at the rubbish bin.

When he payed for his fuel he demanded I give his card back before I'd even swiped it through the reader but he settled for snatching it from my hand after he entered his PIN.

I then saw him go out to his car, where he got into the driver's seat and opened another beer. Then drove off without doing up his seat belt.

I was going to report him to the police, but then a cruiser happened past in the opposite direction. They must have seen him because they did a quick U-turn and pulled him over. We suddenly got really busy so I didn't see much of what happened after that. By the time things got quiet enough for me to look again, the cruiser was gone but the drunk's car was still there (and it was still there when I finished my shift at 1pm)


Actually I had a few drunk customers this morning, but this was the only one who was driving. Most of my drunks are the fun kind who do things like buy a dozen packets of cigarettes or leave $10 on the counter and say "I don't want this any more, you take it".

Hummmmm

1) No seatbelt.

2) Open beer in the car.

3) Probably over the limit.

4) Sounds like the type to mouth off and resist arrest.

This guy has bitten the big one.

I want that kind of customer!

Actually I had a friend who became remarkably generous when drunk. I'd volunteer to be the designated driver for him and his other friends quite often because he'd have a few drinks and start buying me whatever food I wanted or hand me some change for the arcades and pool tables. But then he'd have a few more drinks and start flirting with anything...

Friend (drunk): Dude! Think you could hook me up with that skinny chick in the brown over there?
Me: Uh, J... That's a pole.
Friend: Well it's a f****** hot pole! I'd like to see her in a bikini! You want a pizza or something?

Back on topic, though, edible_hat, I'm glad your drunk got pulled over and, apparently, arrested. Exactly what he deserved. I'm sorry you missed the exchange between him and the cops, though. If it was anything like how he acted with you while making his purchase, I'm sure it would have been quite entertaining.

Yeah. I always tipped the 7-11 guys in college when we stopped for cigs and junk food on our way home from parties.

That actual scenario has only happened to me once. Other drunks have tipped me around $5, and one gave me a box of condoms (minus the one he was planning on using). Remember, I live in a country where tipping isn't customary which I guess makes it even more funny.
