'That's cause it's wal-mart" and other delights

[reformedwaitress]

and oh..gift receipts? How STUPID are those anyway? if the person returns the product, they are going to KNOW how much it cost, even though the price isn't listed on the receipt when they get it...

Yes, but if you have family that does not live close by (as many of my friends do, since I live near an army base and am friends with many in the military) it helps to be able to have multiple receipts to send with gifts since they might not all be going to the same place. That's always been my take on it. It's not so they won't know how much it costs; it's so you can have multiple gifts on one receipt without having to worry about who gets said receipt in what order.

At least that's how I understand it.

You left out the part about the spreading of the rose petals and the servant girls with the large plumage-like fans to cool off Her Highness so she doesn't overheat

Oh, and make sure there are curtains on the pedestal so Her Highness doens't have to look out at those peasants who are not worthy of viewing her person.

Don't forget a slave to feed her peeled grapes and whatnot.

Ah! I hadn't thought about that right away, reformedwaitress. THAT is a good reason for them. I'm not sure that's why most people get them, though...at least, not the people I've ever encountered.

Thanks for that thought

Why is it any of her business if a cashier is unhappy or not? Will that make HER unhappy? Is unhappiness a disease we can all catch? Just because the cashier didn't automatically brighten up at the very sight of Her Highness doesn't mean she should care over it.

Sadly there are people who abuse handicapped parking passes. For example someone using a friend's or relative's pass to park in those spaces. Illegal yes, but tough to police unfortunately.

My grandfather has one and my grandmother has taken advantage of it several occasions. No one's ever called her on it, but I guess with elderly people they just assume.

If that 12 gift receipt lady was in any other retail store, especially one privately owned, I'm sure she probably would have been told to never come back again. How could someone get away with berating all the employees of the store? That's just horrible.


About the handicapped parking spot - don't forget those who are the complete opposite. Who park in the handicapped zone, no tag, no disability and park completely messed up - all at an angle and such just because "they'll be gone for only a minute." And the sad thing is, is there's really nothing that can be done about it. . .

OK, now I know 'tis the season to get the SCs in and out of the store as fast as possible, but is anyone else a little ticked that the CSM didn't say anything to this woman, like, "I'm sure that it was just a mistake. The cashiers are just trying to get everyone through the lines as fast as possible" or "she's actually a clever girl, but probably tired from how hard she has worked lately"? Or, if the CSM wasn't too concerned about losing his job, hand the woman a job application and suggest she give it a go. I wish.

Where I work, we call the towtruck and make sure that the cops have given plenty of nice tickets beforehand.

Yeah, I thought the CSM should have stood up for the cashier, too.

Story One
SW: EXCUSE ME!!!!!!! YOUR STUPID CASHIER GAVE ME 11 GIFTCARDS!!!! I NEEDED 12!!!! 12!!!!!
CSM: Okay, let me see what I can do.
SW: <snottily> Oh, do, god you hire such idiots.

Story 2
DL: Justmake sure i get my Dvd's back i know your kind likes to steal!!!
ME: mm hm. <deactivates DVDs> There you go.
(not as bad as it could be but it made me mad.)

Story One
Yeah, I really don't understand why the CSM was letting the hag get away with calling the people that work there idiots! I'm sooooo sorry, but we're all human and mistakes happen, you heifer!

Story Two
Excuse me? Just what the hell did he/she mean by "your kind"? Oh, yes, that's right, human beings!

Something about that 'lady' makes me want to slap her across the face and tell her to "grow the f*** up".

Something about that 'lady' makes me want to set her on fire

or, have the CSM inform her that she has won an all expense paid trip to.... (cue trap door)

[Crow The Robot]

In defense of the CSM, she did try explaining, (although her attepts were drowned out by the "woman's" constant yelling of 11,)that cashiers were only human, and her complaining wasn't going to make things happen any faster.

SC: "Your cashier wasn't happy!"
What I'd like to say: "No shit she wasn't happy, not when she has to deal with nasty spermdroppings like YOU, bitch!"
