Holy crap! Are coupons really that difficult to understand?
Had a guy today who came up to me on the wrong side of my register, so I didn't even know he was there until I turned around to wave a customer out the door.
R: "How may I help you?"
G: "So, this coupon?"
R: "Yees...?"
G: "I can use it on any item?"
R: "Anything that's not on sale, yes."
G: "What if I buy more than one non-sale item?"
R: "You get the discount off the highest regular price item."
G: "What if, say, I bought two vases, both regular price?"
R: "You'd get one for half price, and the other regular price." (No, seriously, 50% off coupon on the front of today's paper)
G: "And if I wanted to get another item half off?"
R: "You would need another coupon."
G: "But, I could go get another coupon, and buy something else for half price?"
R: "Yees..."
starting to get worried here...
G: "Or, I could send my wife through the line for the second coupon?"
R: "Yes..."
G: *wanders off, comes back with wife 'apparently'*
...and buys a handful of items, has one coupon. No biggie, scanned, paid, on his way. I look down and back up about thirty minutes later, and guy is in my line again, his wife headed to FES H's register.
R: "Hello again..."
Guy is extremely low key this run through, beyond yelling across me something to the effects of, "Wife, you got five dollars?" after I gave him his total.
Read your damn schedule!
Okay, so, FES S and I attend Rocky Horror on Saturdays, her more than I. She makes it a common occurence to stay down in Fort Worth to hang out with her boyfriend on Sundays. FES H, after I get in today, gets angry suddenly, at her phone, and I realize she's texting someone.
H: "S never showed up for her shift yesterday."
R: *blink, blink, only inclined to listen, knowing the bad blood between the two of them*
H: "And she just texted me saying she didn't know she was scheduled today."
R: "Oh, goody."
H: "Well, she'll have to take it up with MOD D, but I hope it's enough to get S fired, a second day of no show."
Side note, S did show up on time for her shift.
Like you've never seen a haircut before?
Okay, so I would much prefer to let my hair grow out forever, so I'll confuse the gender radar even more. However, summer in Texas is upon us, and it's just too damn hot to have long hair, so I got my head buzzed down to a 3. Everyone (and I do mean EVERYONE) I passed by today, went, "Holy Hell, Ruby, what'd you do?"
Oh, yeah, the best time I got that? "What? Did you get scalped?"
Anyone care to guess who asked me that?
If you said the SM, you'd be right. Gender insensitive, and now racially insensitive. Goody, I need to get my ass out of there.
