Yes I work retail and no i'm not an idiot!

[jjllbb]

I was on spring break from university when this occurred:

Man wearing a suit comes up to my register and i begin ringing him out.

MAN: *points at my fingers* Where did you get those rings?

(he was referring to these cheep cloth bands that came out of one of those quarter machines that dispense candy or small toys, etc. A friend at school had given them to me the night before and i was wearing them because i missed him)

ME: I got them from a friend. He bought them for me *chuckle*

MAN: So he doesn't have a job, huh.



ME: ACTUALLY no. He doesn't have a job....

MAN: I thought so

ME:-- because he is currently attending university full time at [BETTER-THAN-YOU University]. Just like me.

MAN: *shocked look* oh, so you're a freshman huh? Think you'll finish?

ME: Actually i'm in my THIRD year with nearly enough credits to graduate early!

MAN: huh.

*walks off*

WTF MAN

[Evil Queen]

Dude. RUDE.

Have some pity for the man. His girlfriend is probably inflatable....or just using him for his money while she bangs gorgeous young males because he can't get his two inch pecker to rise.

OMG I get that all the time too! I'm a grad student at <prestigious Southeastern university that may/may not have won NCAA championship....>, and I only work at the gift shop to pay my tuition. Customers seem shocked when they find this out, but then they'll remember their manners and ask me about my program. Suddenly, I turn from a robot to a human!!!

[jjllbb]

I turn from a robot to a human!!!

Exactly! People seem shocked when they hear that ANYONE in retail actually went to college! My store manager has her DOCTORATE for crying out loud!

We're not idiots just because we sell you things!

[PepperElf]

Have some pity for the man. His girlfriend probably very fleecy....

Fixed for my baaaaad sense of humor and amusement

[SG15Z]

RUDE! Don't worry I know how to handle this guy!

[tinamarble88]

Why does it see it his business if your friend has a job or not? Geez the nerve of people these days. I know how your friend feels though. My boyfriend is going to a great university full-time and due to his weird schedule, it's hard finding a job. I'm trying to help him though.

And mine as well.

Look at it this way, the same people who criticize somebody else's lifestyle are the same people who probably have no job themselves!

Not all the time. I've criticized people's lifestyle before (I'm not proud of that!) and I had a job when I did that.

Is it weird that I just imagined him walking in on his inflatable girlfriend having sex with another guy?

[blas]

Nope, not weird at all.

Of course, the image in my mind was some aging douchebag in an Armani suit and too much cologne, driving his Mercedes Benz all over town and doing his best to make everyone else feel insignificant, all the way to Walgreens to pick up his Viagra and to check the mailbox for more Enzyte samples, only to walk into the house and see his wife screwing the hot Dominos boy.

No not weird. After all your a CS member. We all have crazy thoughts like that.

[Can I Help Your A$$?]

He had to say something, you know, because of the LAW that fiancees have to go bankrupt buying their girlfriends rings. You know, the LAW of DeBeers ads.
