  • SC and Check

    Yes, I should not have accepted this check, before I even start talking. Understand though, that I am a frail, petite woman that stands only 5' tall. And am thus easily intimidated.

    So a woman comes through my line in Malmart and buys $8 worth of stuff.

    Hands me a "loaner" check with no name, no check digits in the upper right hand corner, no nothing.

    As I am becoming befuddled she says "it's a loaner check! I ran out of checks! Run it through! It'll take!!"

    I was checking it over, and she only got more belligerent as time went on. A minute or two went by with no trace of a CSM so I said, the h*ll with it, and took the check. . "I'll tell your supervisor! What's your name!?" (Asking this question is comical, because there are 4+ women up front with my first name)

    She is still belligerent and asks the passing produce person, "Are you a supervisor!?"

    Dumb look from produce person, who has no clue what the h*ll is going on.

    Today I got asked about it by a CSM, and managed to avoid disaster by saying, "Oh...I took too long looking at her check."

    And no more was said, thank god.

    As am I, soon enough your faith in humanity will be gone and you'll learn how to tell them to go to hell without saying so. Don't worry too much, soon you'll be able to stand up to them.
    How was I supposed to know someone was slipping you Birth Control in the food I've been making for you lately?

        Oh I love that line. Actually worked on a girl once. She was like, "You're kinda small," and I replied, "No, I'm fun-sized!"

        @Tama: I was like that the first month or so at work, but after two years I learned it's better to err on the side of law.

            I tend to reply in a more bitchy fashion if I'm out of work, during work I just stare them down unless I know I can get away with it.

                Broomjockey, I'm short and while CS may not condone violence let me just point out my size allows me better aim at certain areas of the body.

                  In my experience, the shorter women are the ones with the shortest fuses, and while we may appear cute and Munchkin-like, we can be quite dangerous!

                  It also helps to wear pointy shoes and have long fingernails.

                    I have learned that something fishy + rude, pushy or belligerant = scam. Once they crossed that line, I shut them down. I NEVER got in trouble of doing that.

                        I had a GF who stood 5'1 1/2"--and don't forget the half! [her words]. At a party when she partook in too much rum, she pointed out: "You may be bigger, but I'm meaner!"

                          Tell me about it. I'm married to one. 4'11". My son has been taller than her since he was 12 or 13.

                            I just take it as a compliment that it's easier to hide and disappear in a crowd if you're short.

                              Well I have considered a career in being a spy at one point.
                              Also NASA should love me, less height and weight means they can put more stuff. I mean is it really that big a deal that I'm near sighted?
