    Pregnancy and Weapons

    I have two from Sunday:


    Preggers?

    FYI- I have curves but am not obese in any way.

    Woman comes into my line:

    W: How can you stand stading all day when your pregnant?
    M: ....What?
    W: You have to stand all day don't you?
    M: Umm...yeah....I do.
    W: Well, my daughter....

    I ignored her from then on. I walked over to the next register and asked the cashier:

    M: Do i look pregnant?
    C: What? No. Who said you were pregnant? You do not look pregnant.
    I told her what the lady said and had the same reaction
    Damn, I guess this means no more Pizza. Shit.
    To that lady, I hope you baloon up to 500000000 pounds.


    Holy Crap!!


    A man walks into my line who is on the shorter side, so his hips are hidden behind my counter. He started to talk to me, so I focusing on his face. Seconds to him coming up to me my manager in a VERY seriouse tone said to him that we allow weapons in the store. I had an WTF? moment and leand over my registe to see that he had a hand gun in a holster. the second I saw that, I speed up the pace. I have to deal with crazies ALL DAY, in no way do I want them armed and freakin packing heat. Boy I feel safe....

    BTW, I live in a small college town in the middle of OHIO. why the hell do you need a gun at 11:00 on a Sunday? What makes me pissed off is that I missed it. Its a sign that I need to stop daydreaming when I miss the fact that someone is packing heat when they are talking to me.

    I feel your pain on the first story...I'm 5'7" and 180 lbs. I always say that I'm not fat, I'm rubenesque. I've had customers at my old job at the restaurant (I was the Hostess) ask me if I was pregnant or when I was due. Hell, when I worked at the HR Blockenstuff as the Receptionist (the one I worked in was in the mall on the second floor of Sears) one of the Sears employees asked me how far along I was. Dammit, that means no more sweets for me...

        You are I are (normally) ... height/weight twins?

        And I JUST had a baby April 28, but even before I was pregnant with him, I was CONSTANTLY getting asked when I was due. Just another reason I hate the general public.

        Apparently since I'm not rail thin and airbrushed to perfection, I MUST be pregnant.
        Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, 'Where have I gone wrong?' Then a voice says to me, 'This is going to take more than one night.'

          You and me both....sad thing for me is that I've never had kids nor will I for a good while and I've had people ask me that.... Oh and congrats on your son!

            Because all the wonderful news stories these days start, "In a sleepy little town where no one thought it could happen..." Better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it. Ohio has licensed carry and concealed carry laws now, so you should get used to the idea that you'll see some people with heat. If your store is uncomfortable with it, signage is available indicating firearms are not allowed in the store. Post them near the entrances, and the vast majority of folks will obey your preferences.

              I never ask a woman if she is pregnant unless she brings up being pregnant first. I'm not going to get my behind kicked for asking a woman who is not pregnant when she is due!

                Good plan. A good way to CYA. I was always taught that it's just plain rude to bring up a woman's condition unless she should mention it first.

                  One of my friends is an employee of the church he goes to. Since he is the bookkeeper for the church it is his job to go and take the money from the collection plates to the bank. Now before they got screwed by thier old bank, he would take the money home and then first thing Monday Morning take the money to the bank.

                  This is done since there have been too many times where someone stole money from the church while service has been going on.

                  Now thanks to there being a Woodforest bank in the area he now goes straight to the bank and makes the deposit (they have Sunday hours).

                  Now because his job requires him to carry large sums of money, Maryland will allow you to have a concealed weapons permit upon passing a background check. Other states have similar laws, but won't make it a concealed carry, but an open carry.

                  Not saying that it was his reason, but it's a reason.

                      I was working in our little Theatre library back at my undergrad, and we had a non-major looking for a scene for her "Beginning Acting for Non-Majors" class. This particular girl was constantly giving me problems, expecting me to find a scene for her, turning in books late, etc.

                      Sucky Student "You're pregnant, right?" At the time, I was about 170 lbs (I'm 5'3").
                      Moi: "Umm...NO", in a very very pissy tone.
                      SS: "Well, don't you want to have kids? What do you have against kids?"
                      Me: "Well, I just don't want to have any yet."
                      Rinse, Lather, Repeat

                      It's just so RUDE.

                        That's when you say things like:
                        "Well, don't you want any tact? Why not? What do you have against tact?" (or social etiquette, or brains, or something similar).
                        Another thing you can do, which is rather mean...is tear up, and whisper in a broken voice "I...I can't have any."
                        Sure it's mean, but one day they actually might ask someone who cannot have kids that question. Rather spare that person the pain, and let the asker be embarrassed as all hell.

                          Unless a woman mentions that she is pregnant, or you see a child actually emerging from her right at that moment I think it's best not to mention pregnancy!

                            The only time I commented on a customer being pregnant, it was very obvious she was pregnant, in other words the belly she had didn't fit her body type as a whole. If there is any doubt in my mind that the person may be just overweight and not pregnant, I keep my mouth shut.

                              I don't think you need a permit for open carry in Ohio. As for telling the guy he couldn't have a weapon most states require that a sign be posted.
