Nearly broke my door!

[Plaidman]

A man comes in, likely high on something the way he is jitterly around. He comes to the counter.

SC: "CHEAP! CHEAP SMOKES! THE CHEAPEST!!!!"
ME: *Thinking wonderful cusotmer already, but I give him the one pack of smokes that are so cheap, we lose money on every sale. Its why they're kept hidden*
SC: GIVE ME TWO OF THOSE CROSSWORD LOTTERY!!
ME: *I start to pull them out, then he sees the $5 dollar price on them*
SC: NOOOOOOOOOOO! NOT THOSE!!! THE TWO DOLLAR ONES!
ME: *I pull out two*
SC: GIMME ANOTHER ONE!
ME: *I pull out the 3rd one*

He pays the six bucks and leaves. Not ten seconds later he slams into our front door that only goes one way, *Pull from outside* Thrusts it open, trips on the inside in his mad dash to get into the store. My first thought was he realized how close he was to closure of beer sales.

SC: YOU RIPP ME OFF!!! I PAID FOR THREE!! YOU GAVE ME TWO!!!

ME: *blink blink, I knew for a fact I gave him three, then I see the one scractch it. He left in on the counter and nether of us saw it*

ME: Its right there man...

SC: Oh.... ok. *grabs it and leaves*

And yeah, I didn't write in caps to be dramatic. he was screaming the whole damn time until that last moment where he realized he was the one who left his scractch it.

So I guess he really did want to talk to you? Oh and whatever you do don't take the crystal and DON'T eat the peach....

Nah to those of us who are purveyors of convenience during late times, this is normal.

Pretty much. Grave times get the jacked up, police avading, offering sex for beer people.

All of those are in my store... well aside from police avoiding, they generally avoid it since the cops like our store... and we've never been robbed... connection?

I had weirdos all the time at the gas station, granted I usually worked afternoons and evenings (and we closed at night)....but I got some real winners any time of day, although usually after dark.

Does this make anyone else think of the scene near the beginning of The 5th Element with the robber at his door?

Fun fact in my state: Cigarettes can't be counted towards loyalty program totals (i.e. you spend x amount, you'll get certain saving). This is law AFAIK.

I had a customer tonight who conveiniently forgot that. I didn't want to say anything, because to most of my customers, I'll still the "idiot newbie who doesn't know any better."
