Tales from the smoke counter

Over here, there haven't been lights for ages; the name was changed on brands cuz it implied that they were healthy. XD Instead, we have Marb Golds, Mayfair Smooth, Superking Blue, Camel Blues etc. We even have Marb Silver and Mayfair Fine; those are extra extra lights. XD

Thats what they are now doing in the US. It kinda sucks because now when they change the box people know the "fresher" ones say Blue not Light and will bitch and man for the FRESH ones.

Edited to add: Our supplier must not rotate their stock because we will get the "Blue" ones for 2 weeks then the "Light" ones one week. Drives me mad because I try to grab the oldest first to stock the rack.

I hated selling cigarettes. When I worked at Walmart I alwasy dreaded being put on the cigarette lane. I did learn alot about tobacco though. I didn't know they had lights. What is that supposed to mean though? Less tobacco or what?

That thing has also been in Denmark for ages. However, the "transition" went smoothly since customers already before the "light/ultra light ban" already then used color codes as slang (as in Red, White, Silver, Gold) instead of saying Full, Light or Ultra Light.

People are still asking for lights even all this time after the changeover. Doesn't matter tho; I still know what they're talking about.

My main dealie is when cigarettes do that limited edition box thing; right now, it's Mayfair that are doing a super jazzed up box, and I've had a few people bitch and moan cuz I naturally am giving out the old stock first. They're cigarettes; they won't go off. -.-

Actually, they will, but not for quite a very long time.

Marlboro has told us they are good for 6 years. I have been at this store for 5+ years and we have a cartn of Marb light 72's that have been here for years before I got there. They refuse to take them back and say they are still good.

Less tar and nicotine they say but some cigarettes just have small pin holes up by the filter that lets in some air.

A new one from work. not so much sucky, just plain dumb.

Quick sidenote: the five or so stores within about 5km of my place all have shops attached to them.

It never ceases to amaze me how on a weekend, when we close earlier than the week, the number of people who will get out of their car a good 30 minutes AFTER we've closed and look through the windows.
