(First time back in a while. Just got a computer after not having one for like a year.) Just a grab-bag of some of my odd customers and things.
A Crappy Day
A few weeks ago while I was checking, I began to smell something strange. I thought it might just be the water reclamation plant (aka the poop factory) that's across the road. It smells sometimes if the wind's blowing in the right direction. I thought that's what it was until I saw a big brown lump of what appeared to be *gasp!* horse crap laying a few yards in front of Customer Service. (I say horse crap because it was MUCH too big to be fron a human, and it looked hairy or grassy) Then I saw more lumps trailing towards Produce and out the front door. It got cleaned up soon after that, and I still don't know EXACTLY how it got there, but some people think that someone probably brought it in as a prank. I just dont know about people these days... who would do something like that?
Coupon Stupidity
Anyone with a brain would know that in order to use a coupon, you need to actually buy the item that's specified on the coupon. Well, not THIS guy. BD: Brainless dude. ME: Who else?
ME: Your total comes to (insert amount here).
BD: I have a coupon here too.
ME: Ok. (I take a look at the coupon, and at the few things the man has bought. The coupon was for a certain brand of soup, and not only had the man not bought that brand of soup, but he had no soup at all!) Sir, this coupon is for This Brand Of Soup, and I don't see that you bought any.
BD: You are f***ing kidding me! Every time I come in here, you people accept my coupons!
ME: We aren't supposed to. You actually have to buy the item that the coupon is for.
BD: *is getting rather loud, vulgar, and bitchy now* Bulls***! I f***ing use all sorts of coupons and I'm not leaving unless you take this coupon!!!
ME: I can't. You didn't get This Brand Of Soup, or any other brand of soup. Your coupon is for This Brand Of Soup. Nobody here is allowed to accept it. It's against our store's policy. (And every other store's policy I'm sure!)
BD: *string of swearing and mumbling to himself. I think I've got him beat. No, nevermind.* I've been shopping here for FIFTEEN YEARS! You ALWAYS accept my coupons! I might just have to take my f***ing business elsewhere!
ME: *Repeat my previous statement. I finally get it through his head. Yesss!*
BD: Fine. Just give me my f***ing groceries. Here. *hands me money to pay for what he has*
ME: *Takes money and gives change. Cheery voice.* Have a good day sir!
BD: Yeah, what the f*** ever.
I managed to keep a straight face and keep my cool through the whole ordeal. he was my last customer of the day, so I quick informed my manager of what happened and told him that this guy might call and complain. He said he'd take care of it. I never did get in trouble, and I never did see that guy come in again. he must've taken his business elsewhere like he said. Ah well, one less asshat for our store. lol
Customer Service Stuff
I also got promoted to Customer Service. Some odd phone conversations...
ME: Thanks for calling Grocery Store North. This is Buzzy, how can I help you?
Customer: Is this Grocery Store North?
ME: *thinking: No. I didn't just tell you that in my greeting. *facepalm**
ME: (insert generic greeting) blah blah, can I help you?
Little girl: Is this Hannah?
ME: No, this is Buzzy from grocery Store. ...I think you might have the wrong number.
LG: I want to know if Hannah can come over and play.
ME: This is Grocery Store. Hannah can't come over and play because she doesnt live here...
LG: Are you sure this isn't Hannah's house?
ME: Yep, I'm sure.
LG: OK, bye.
She called back again one minute later. Went through the same spiel and I didn't hear from her again. haha cute.
That's all I got for now. Hmm. Enjoy
