Talk about public humiliation

[sexiphatchick]

Today I was supposed to be working in the paint department all day, so I was happy when I got to work. I love working over there. An hour after starting I get pulled to the front to ring on a register. Great, there goes my good day. So I'm already now in a not-so-great mood, and here is a conversation that I had with one of the customers I cashed out.

SC1- really not a sucky customer, he was actually kinda nice
SC2- evil....pure evil

I swipe the cars that SC1 gives me and I notice the back of the card isn't signed.

Me: "I just need an ID to verify your signature."
SC1: -leans in closely like he's going to tell me a secret....kinda creepy when you don't know the person- "I have to tell you that it isn't my card, so the names aren't going to match. It's his (points to SC2) card. Do you want his ID?"
Me: "Yep I'll need his ID then."

SC2 gives me his ID and I verify and we move on. I give them their receipt and bag and tell them to have a nice day. Before walking away, SC2 leans into me, very much like the other guy did....

SC2: "Can I ask you a question?"
Me: "um....sure"
SC2: "How much do you weigh?" (note: I'm on the large side as weight goes)
Me: -stares at him for a second thinking that he couldn't POSSIBLY have just asked me that- "That's a personal question, don't you think?"
SC2: "Yeah....so can I get a personal answer?"
Me: "No you can't, have a nice day."

SC1 must have seen the look on my face or something because he comes back in and asks me what SC2 just asked me, at which point SC2 says "NO! Don't tell him what I asked you, he'll yell at me for it!"

Me: -starting to get very red and almost to the verge of tears from embarassment- "Have a good day sir."

SC2: "So can I get a personal answer?
Me: "NO SIR. HAVE A GOOD DAY." -now making a kind of hand motion to let him know he needs to get the hell away from me before I start having a hissy fit at the register.-

SC1: "Ma'am, I don't know what he asked you, but I'd like to apologize for him."
SC2: "OK OK, sorry."

And FINALLY he leaves. For the rest of the afternoon I had to continue cashing out customers trying not to think about it because when I did I felt like I was going to burst into tears. I didn't tell anyone what he said, except for my wife on my dinner break, when I could finally cry.

Talk about public humiliation.

Should have took it a step further and asked SC2 how big his schlong is.

Some people can look totally normal, and then their mouths open and the most insane/inappropriate things come out of their mouths.

[fireheart]

Should have took it a step further and asked SC2 how big his schlong is.

Or directed him to where to find the tweezers and spray starch with the addition "Sir, it's OK that your schlong isn't like a porn star"

Blas and Fireheart, thank you. I just spit milk onto the screen.

*GrumbleGrumbleGrumble*

[blas]

Well I always figure fight fire with fire......if you're going to ask a stupid question you're going to get a stupid answer or an even dumber question thrown right back at you.

Especially if you ask a very inappropriate question!

Blas and Fireheart, thank you. I just spit milk onto the screen.

yay my first monitor ruined!

Sorry Retailworkhorse *sends money for new monitor*

[RetailWorkhorse]

Meh, the monitor's a 25 pound CRT anyhow.

"NO! Don't tell him what I asked you, he'll yell at me for it!"

"He asked me if I wanted to see his 3 inch cock."

like that??? hehe

I get the feeling that SC1 was there to take care of SC2, like he was mentally ill or something.

I think more customers should only be allowed out with an escort.

[PepperElf]

he's not THAT mentally ill if he knows enough to know he was asking something inappropriate.
and to try to hide it from his buddy

Should have took it a step further and asked SC2 how short his schlong is.

Edited for style points.

What is it with people? I've been asked how much I make,why I don't go to school,and why I work here.I usually tell them wow thats rude,maybe you should go back to school and learn some manners.They just turn red and shut up. Next time I would start asking them a whole lot of personal questions see how they like it.

I think you may be right.

I don't know about that, my second job is in a mental health field, and we definitely have clients who completely lack impulse control. They know that what they are doing is wrong, but by the time they analyze their actions, it is too late. That is why they aren't allowed unsupervised access to the community.
