  • The Freak at the end of this post

    quick background on me because I don't post often.

    I work as a minion slinging movie rentals for one of the few places that still has actual stores for such things. I really do love my job i just like being a minion more than a CSR. I'm usually referred to as 'perky' and a 'people person' I'm nearly always chipper and smiling.

    end background, on with the suck

    M- Me! Mousey! ^_^
    R- Renter, a rather pleasant looking middle aged woman getting two movies.

    M- Hello! Is this everything you're getting today?want any sweets?
    (taking movies, we push candy bundles like sweets are going out of style)
    R- Oh no thanks, i'm good.
    (Good so far)
    M-Okay! can i see your membership card?
    R- I think I left it at home.
    (totally okay, everyone forgets it sometimes)
    M- That's fine, can i see your drivers license?
    R-Oh sure
    (digs out wallet and flips it open. now, i always always ask my customers to take their ID's out of their wallets because no one holds it still or long enough for me to read it )
    M- Can you pull it out for me?
    (does so)
    R- It looks just the same under the plastic.
    (She saidit cheerfully but with that little sarcastic edge that says she didn't want to go through the trouble of pulling the card out. I don't think much of it)

    Then I look at the card...

    The last name's right

    ...

    It's a man's drivers license. o_O

    M- umm...mam, this is...
    R- It's my husbands ID, he's in the car with our very sick child.
    M- well, I need yours
    R- I left it at home
    M- . . . Mam, I need your Id, it doesn't work if it's not yours, i don't know if your really,
    R- (very calmly) So what your telling me is I have to go get my husband, who is with our very sick child to come in here to rent these movies?
    M- Yes.

    ... Wait for it

    R- FUCK YOU!!!!

    M- o-o

    R- THIS IS WHY (THIS COMPANY) IS GOING OUT OF BUSINESS!!!! IT'S BECAUSE YOU TREAT YOUR CUSTOMER'S LIKE CRAP WHEN THEY HAVE SICK KIDS IN THE CAR AND GROWL SNARL BLARG GRRRR BITCH WHINE MOAN
    (Customer exits the store still shouting like i killed her first born child)


    Oh look, there's that freak out i promised you
    M- o_o...

    Seriously I just stared after her for a good six seconds, i had no idea what had just happened took me a while to figure out i had just been cussed out. I was shaking a little when i turned back to the line.

    Next guy comes up and I sheepishly ask
    M- Do you have your card or ID?
    NG- (staring at the door) That lady was freaking nuts! (already has ID out and hands it to me giving me a 'your doing fine' smile)
    NGM (Next giys mom comes up with the movie she just found)- What was that?!
    NG explains, customer behind them drops a movie and i visibly flinch
    NGM- still a little shakin
    M- yeah
    NG- your fine, she was crazy.

    and my day went on like normal from there..
    kudos if you get the title reference ^_^

        What would have prevented HER from staying in the car with a sick kid and hubby coming in? OR STAYING HOME WITH THE SICK KID INSTEAD OF DRAGGING THEM TO THE DAMN STORE FOR A FUCKIN RENTAL??!? /rawr.

        Done.

          Yeah! Why'd they drag the poor kidlet out of the house in the first place!?

            Damnit, I was going to say that... but, uh, Mouse, you do realize that by using that particular reference, that makes YOU the freak at the end of the post? Not that I'm saying it's a bad thing to be a freak in a movie store...

              trust me, it's still valid, i'm more than a little odd. So it made sense because there was the obvious Freak-out and then lil me.

              And i had exactly the same thought, why didn't she send him in instead? My money's on a scam, people don't realize just how much money you can lose just from someone getting into your rental account. hence me always wanting to see ID.

              I don't care if you come in every day, if you don't have an ID go get K, R, J or any other worker to ring you up cause i sure as hell ain't

                Could have been on the way home from the Dr. When I was a little kid, that was about the only time my sis and I got to rent movies from somewhere other than the library. My parents would want something to entertain us so we wouldn't whine about being sick.

                  Wow. That woman should just have won herself a free ticket to "Banningland."
                  Customers should always be served . . . to the nearest great white.

                    If she had the husband come in I would have told him, "Sorry but because of her cussing and acting like a total crazy person in the store your account has been closed." I would then ask him if she was seeing a psychiatrist for the mental problem. And if they wanted the account back I would need a note from the psychiatrist that she was now on her meds and that myself and my customers would be safe from now on.

                      maybe they were returning from the dr., still, her behavior was out of bounds and using her child was sheer schiesse on her part.

                      meds bomb awaaaay!
                      look! it's ghengis khan!
                      Sorry, but while I can do many things, extracting heads from anuses isn't one of them. (so sayeth the irv)

                        So.... she's got a "very sick child" in the car and she's renting stupid movies? Is it some rare illness that can only be cured by the magic of James Cameron's CGI? or Sandra Bullock's Oscar-winning emoting? And she can't watch this "very sick child" while the husband rents the movie?
