Thread title says it all.
I had two people try to run out without paying for their things today at my Aid of Rite. One was a 60 ish woman who kept apologizing, and I really did feel bad for her. The other were two 40 ish year old men, the "beer and cigarettes" crowd, as I call them, wearing stained t shirts and wife beaters, spend their money on beer and cigarettes, you know the type. They nearly walked off with the cigarettes too.
"Oh, I have to PAY?"
"Yes, or else I would've had to tackle you to the ground."
"Oh, that wouldn't be so bad. *wink*"
"....Your change."
One guy also ended up buying a bunch of wilted tulips for his "old lady" since he forgot her birthday two days ago. *sigh* In my opinion, flowers are nice to get but wilted and a couple days after the event? What a backhanded compliment.
The other part of today was that nearly everyone for the first two hours of my shift complimented me on my real life name, with "Oh that's so pretty" and "I love the spelling" and so on, which are comments I get pretty often and makes me feel good. (what can I say, I have a pretty name ) What I hate are those people who go up to me and throw my name around like it's a million dollar bill.
"Good afternoon Ralerin! I have a coupon, Ralerin. How much did those items ring up, Ralerin? So, Ralerin, how much is my total? Oh are you sure, Ralerin? Ok, here's $20, Ralerin. Can you put it into a bag, Ralerin? Can you double bag it, Ralerin? I'm walking home, Ralerin and up some steep stairs, Ralerin. Have a good day, Ralerin. Ralerin, Ralerin, Ralerin!"
No less than 5 fracking times today by 5 different women. Only women. GAH.
