  • First Hump Day of the month!

    And y'all should know what that means: Tidal waves of tight-fisted, bad-tempered, crotchety, pants-pissing, pants-pooping entitlement cases and their parents or grandparents who qualify for 15% senior discounts.

    Only one real SC today, but boy was she a doozy. I could tell when she stormed up to the American Greetings lady who was setting up a display and started barking at her about...something. American Greetings lady then passed her off to me because I wasn't fast enough in making my getaway.

    The SC had an American flag bunting that she said rang up at $15.99. She said it was supposed to be $3.99, or $2.99 with the loyalty card. I scanned one of the buntings and confirmed that it was, in fact, $3.99 or $2.99. So I escorted the customer back up to the service desk--but not after she ripped she sale sign off the peghook to take with her.

    The whole time, the SC is blah-blah-blahing about how "this always happens to me here, the prices are never right, I don't have time for this today, the bitch at the desk is always rude to me, I guess she doesn't like me."

    Wow, really? The service desk lady doesn't like you? I can't figure out why she wouldn't take a shine to you, can you? It can't be that effervescent personality of yours, can it? I mean, you're sure turning on the world with your smile here.

    Anyhow, we got up to the desk, and the lady working there figured out what the issue was; the particular bunting she brought up had the wrong UPC on the lady. Probably came that way from the vendor. Service desk lady explained this, and started the process to adjust the price.

    At this point SC flung the sale sign over the counter at service desk lady, followed by the bunting thwapping off the counter and down to the carpet behind it. "THIS GODDAMN BUNTING IS SUPPOSED TO BE $3.99 WHY THE HELL CAN'T YOU DO YOUR JOB AND GIVE IT TO FOR THAT PRICE!"

    If I were in charge, I would've told this hambeast "Guess what? The price really is $15.99. If you think you still have a legit gripe, we'll discuss it when you decide to act like an adult. You can leave now or I can pitch you right through the door." But no, service desk lady just told the SC to stop hollering, to no avail. While she was working on adjusting the price, the SC was continuing to carry on about the buntings all being in the same spot, and there was a sign there saying they were $3.99, or $2.99 with the loyalty card, and we have to give it to her for that price because IT'S THE LAW. Meanwhile, service desk lady kept trying to tell her she would get the bunting for that price because the vendor made a mistake, something she would've heard the first time had she quit flapping her festering gob like the tit she apparently is.

    In the end the SC got her flag bunting for the correct price, and evidently left happy, but not happy enough to refrain from commenting about the "stupid kid" who checked her out and should've caught the error. BTW, the aforementioned "stupid kid" was a newbie on his first shift as a cashier, or at least this was the first time I'd ever seen him.

    And I was amazed the service desk lady still hasn't yet reached over the counter and strangled somebody, and still has her job because of the multitudes of disgruntled EWs who find her rude just because she says no and is very to-the-point when dealing with people.

    Wow. I hope that when I get to be around the time I am entitled to the coveted senior discount, I am nicer and more aware that my time is limited and I should make the rest of my days as comfortable, peaceful, and serene as I am capable of doing, realizing that nothing is that freakin' important!

      Okay. So this woman, full of flaming displeasure over absolutely nothing important, throws a sign at your CW and yet your CW is the rude one.

      Oooookaaaaay. SC also stands for "strange creature", I think. O_o

        I'm more partial to "stupid cnt" myself. Or maybe "screaming cnt"

          Irv, every first Wednesday of the month, I keep you in my thoughts as I sleep. I'm feeling for you.

          The elderly are some of the most entitled people walking the earth. Especially in Wisconsin, where a great majority of the population is over the age of 112.

            My pet theory on their crankiness is that it's because they're still here. The ones who make a little bit of money, like my grandparents, head off to Florida or Arizona for at least half the year to enjoy the warmer weather and lower taxes.

              then they should be easy enough to push over and run away, the grumpy ones at least

                Yes because the cashiers should know all the prices of everything on sale or not on sale and with or without a special card
                I hate when people blame the cashier for stuff like that

                  Kiwi, your comments lately haven't been doing my bladder any good....I gotta quit reading your responses! I'm running out of clean underpants...

                  Maybe that's why my downstairs neighbor is such a miserable twat. It might not even be me that gets her so riled up. The thing is, she's rich enough to be able to afford two places to live (because she still has to pay rent for this place while she's gone all winter down south), why doesn't she just STAY down south where it's warm all year long? Ohh, lest I forget the excuse all the snowbirds around here use: "But I've alllwaaays looooved Wisconsin springs and summers!".....my dimply round ass you do! You get back here and complain day in and day out about how it won't warm up and stop raining and how it was soooo much nicer down south. Sorry, but unless you live here all year long, you have no right to complain about winter not giving up or spring not happening and, of course, right now....Mother Nature's bladder problem and inability to warm up past lower 70s.

                      I always have to wonder about these people in their younger days: have years of pent-up bitterness and anger finally erupted like so much crochety hot lava, or (even more horrifying) are we witnessing the mellowing effects of age?
                      Ah, tally-ho, yippety-dip, and zing zang spillip! Looking forward to bullying off for the final chukka?

                        I think you may have something, Bradester. If we could go back in time, I think we might find that the nasty old people were always nasty.

                        Now that I'm reaching that age myself, I'm seeing other things that I find interesting. It seems that older people whose friends are a variety of ages are nicer. Maybe their nice disposition attracts younger friends or perhaps their younger friends keep things interesting and so the older people stay optimistic and, therefore, nicer.

                        I also hate to say this but there are times when teenagers and older people share some of the same obnoxious characteristics. Many of these folks are perfectly fine alone or in twos or threes. However, get a sizable bunch together and all you-know-what breaks loose.

                          As I re-read this message i couldn't help but wonder what Mr. Roberts was doing during this. If I read it correctly I can assume that you know what i'm talking about. Personally my service desk loves paging me for this type of person, especially on the first Tuesday of the month. I'm the Mr. Roberts who prevents losses one stupid customer at a time.... and then picks off the other degenerates that just try to pocket the items.

                          If i'm wrong about where you work then sorry...... =)

                            As far as I know, there was no Roberts in the store to speak of.
