  • No matter how angry you look, I refuse to say thanks for that!

    So customer came in, brought some stuff up and I ring him up. He then hands me some garbage to throw away, I say sure since it was just a candy wrapper, and toss it away. Then the dude is glaring at me. I blink, I remembered to give him his change, he has his stuff in the bag, recepit in hand, so why is he glaring at me?

    me: Um, what's up man? I got a line, so can I help ya or what? (so I talk a little informal, its a convience store bros XD)

    SC: Well!? Aren't you forgeting something??!

    I blink, reply in head: "Uh, don't think so dude. What I forget?

    The dude's face gets BLOOD RED, and he slams his soda on the counter. "YOU FUKING FOGOT TO SAY THANK YOU!!!"

    I blink, staring at this guy who now looks like a pissed off bull. So I cave.
    "Thanks for shopping at Plaid Pantry??" (I admit, I did it in the from of a question, but I was confused and other customers were backing off)

    The SC takes a huge breath, and is holding his nose with both hands, breathing in and out. He then slams his hands down and glares at me.

    "I gave you my garbage, and ask you nicely to throw it out. What do reply to people who say please?

    I blink. My brian shut down. And I burst out laughing. "I' am NOT going to say thanks for taking your garbage!!: the sc got really mad and knocked over a display case, claiming the people here have no morals.

    Never had anything like that happened. o feel bad for laughing at him, but i refuse to say thanks when taking garbage. I will happily say thanks fot shopping at Plaid. Jebsus people are strange. Any strange customers with strange requests?

    How dare you, the Lowly Peon, refuse to thank His Highness for his royal gift of garbage?! You should throw yourself to the ground and kiss his muck-encrusted royal shoes, immediately!

    [/sarcasm]

    He's an entitlement-minded dickweed with an ego the size of the sun. I just hope he didn't do too much damage to the display he knocked over.

        Holy crap! That's just unreal.

        He expected you to thank him for his garbage? Because he said "please?"

        Now that he's knocked over a display, you have justification for banning him, as in "PLEASE don't even think about coming back to this store or I will be PLEASED to call the police. Now where is MY 'thank you?'"

        The best karma is letting a jerk bash himself senseless on the wall of your polite indifference.

        The stupid is strong with this one.

            Lady: "Could you please throw away my garbage for me?"
            Me: "Sure, no problem." *does so*
            Lady: "Thank you!"
            Me: "Welcome."

            ...did he just miss his cue or what? Is it like that scene in Harry Potter where you can see Hermione mumbling Harry's lines?

              My normal reply to people who say "please" is "ok" or "No problem" or "sure". Ya know something along those lines. After which, it is the person who says "please" that is supposed to say "thank you". After that, I say "you're welcome".

              I dunno where this person learned the whole "please...thank you...you're welcome" protocol, but he was taught wrong.

                Well. I guess we now know what the result would be if Monk and Mr. Furious had a baby together.

                  I think he was confused. The one who says "Please" usually also says "Thank you."

                    Okay, now I have to ask which (Witch, *Giggles*) scene and movie that was.

                      no joke; it should have been a 'thanks for getting rid of my trash.'

                      we now have to thank them for handing us their trash and throwing it away?

                      yes, thank you for that UNIQUE opportunity; i never get the chance to clean up after anyone-my life's sole ambition.

                      bite it, buddy.

                        If you'll excuse me, I have to go collect my thank yous. What an idiot by the way, being treated like a king made his brain explode.
