    And you have a very nice day, sir...

    I had this guy come up to my register today.

    Me: Were you able to find everything alright?
    SC: Well, I didn't find any stacks of money.
    Me: Sorry, there aren't any to find. (I smile, cuz we're joking around right?)

    So, that bit wasn't too unusual. I'm sure we've all heard some stupid variation. Anyway, I ring up his one book, ask if he has our membership card, give him the total, ring him out. Then as he goes to leave:

    SC: I hope you have a really crummy day.



    I don't even know where that came from. Was he upset by my reponse to his stupid humor? Or was this just another example of it? He didn't say it in a pissed tone of voice, but in the same tone you'd use to wish someone a good day. Weird...

    Sarah: That's not fair!
    Jareth: You say that so often. I wonder what your basis for comparison is...

      I assume that he was trying to be funny but doesn't really know how to be.

        Sadly that might be one the Catch 22's of the service industry. If you don't just totally love some SC's lame attempts at humor they get furious. But when you pretend they are indeed witty then you send them out in the world thinking they are funny people.

          It might have been a quote from an old George Carlin stand-up.

            If it was, he did it wrong. It's "Have a crappy day", not "crummy."

            Maybe I've had 63 nice days in a row, and by God, I'm ready for a crappy day!

            You never hear that: "Have a crappy day!"

            That's no problem at all! All you have to do is get up some mornings!

              More than likely, he was still kidding, you just didn't get it.

              When they did that money thing with me, I usually reply with "If I knew where that was, I wouldn't be here myself." Always gets a laugh.

                I tend to reply to those jokes with, "I'm sorry sir (why is it always a guy who cracks that joke?), I don't think we carry that."
