  • I've forgotten how horrible customers were.

    So Monday I get to go back to work after taking leave for 3 blissful weeks.

    Then I get. Them. THe customers. I will admit the last two days have been... adnormally filled with SC's. I tried telling my co-worker, but he was shrugging, reminding me it was normal So, here are a few quick stories.

    1: Guy I haven't seen ever. I card him when he buys smokes. He screams he comes here all the damn time, and I need to call my manager so that she can tell me, the NEW guy, to sell him smokes. After much blinking. Him trying to stare me down. I calmly point to my name tag. The one that says assistant manager on it. He prompty showed me his ID. He was 18 by two days.

    2: Had a rather... big man. Pushing several...several hundred lbs. Telling me how much he hates the fat girls cause all they do is eat cake and twinkes. He buys much of same product and leaves.

    3: Had a man rant and rave about how a certain middle east country is suppling Smart Tea to a certain Asian country, and thats why he can't get a job in America.

    4: Had a rather rude guy shove some lady who I was ringing up, and shoved a five dollars in my face to buy his pack of condoms because he had a hooker charging him by the minute. Before I could stop myself, I told him he got hell of a cheap deal then. He left. Leaving 2 dollars in change.

    5: Had rather strange person begging random customers for rides. He'd also change where he needed to go. He was really. REALLY presisant about rides. He finally left after police showed up.

    6: Drunk Man. Too much beer. Freshly clean floor. Man walks out with the front of his pants wet. I have to clean floor again with super strength soap.

    7: Man steals worthless plastic phone cards. Tries to come back later claiming he bought them from me, but I didn't activate them. I sorta shrug. He leaves with cards.


    ...there are a few more, but those are the ones that stand out the most.

    Sooo... does he hate fat girls because they eat his twinkies, then? Maybe it's a territory issue.

            Forgotten how horrible-?!
            After three little weeks?!

            I've been out of retail for almost 2 years now and I can still remember it like it was yesterday. I think of some specific customers and wonder how I even made it past them with raining death and maim upon them.

            The good old days...

              Well I'm sure not in the same store you're in, but you know. Same chain. I won't name names, though. I was in the Northeast area of P-Town.

                    That's really worrying actually... I don't even want to know what he was intending :/

                      By the minute? That's a new one to me.

                      Since he left his $2 change, how'd he pay her?

                              She was probably charging HIM by the minute because even a girl of the night doesn't have the nerve to charge 50 dollars for 10 seconds work.
