OMG! What a day! Since the grocery stores were closed today, so people were flocking to my C-store. We never close. Open 24 hrs, 365. Anyways. I have several stories to share. So, here I go...
Bad Mother
There was a woman and her three kids who came in. I didn't notice them since we had a long line of people waiting to cash out. M (my co-worker) noticed that they have hanged around the cheap candy aisle way too long than normal. Only thing purchased was a bag of chips that one of the little boys paid for. After they leave, M goes look on the computer to see if they steal anything. Oh yeah. this wench steals a lot of the cheap candy and stuffs it down her pockets while her kids watch. Yeah, thank you Mom. Teaching your kids to steal. When they grow up, they'll end up in jail and we will have to support them. This waste of oxygen is a regular at our store. Not anymore. She's banned.
Egg Nog Lady
Okay, it's Christmas Day. Egg Nog is the drink of choice. Of course, mix it with Southern Comfort, it is extra tasty! Being we are the only store open, we ran out of egg nog. People would ask if we had anymore, of course not! They accepted this and go on with the day. Nope, not this lady.
ENL: Do you have anymore egg nog? (rudely and grinch like)
Me: No maam, we do not have any more.
ENL: How can you not have anymore egg nog? It is Christmas Day!
Me: We do not have anymore. Maybe other C-stores have some, but, I doubt it.
ENL: Do you know if any grocery stores are open?
Me: Maam, Safeway and Fry's are closed.
ENL: Well, some help you are.
Whatever. Come on, egg nog is sold out. Smart people buy egg nog before Christmas Day. I can't pull egg nog out of my ass. But, that would be a neat trick would it.
Fake Baby in Stroller
Now, I knew they were trouble right when they entered the store. Two grown women, with no children with them. Are pushing a stroller with a fake baby. WTF?M and I had a line going, but, I still kept an eye on them. They hung around the useless junk aisle for 5 minutes. Mostly, people don't hang around in an aisle at C-store that long. They stroll around the store some more and they come up to M. After they leave, I told M that they had a babydoll in there stroller and hung around in the junk aisle. She immediantly goes into the back and watches them on the computer. These two wenches stole an air freshner for the car and tried to steal the phone in the display case. By pulling it around. She was determined to steal a phone that does NOT work. Dumbass.
An hour later, one of our buddies who hangs with the employees is outside. I go out and talk to him about the weirdos who came in. I told him the fake baby women and the stealing mother. After telling him about the mother, guess who comes along? The fake baby women. I got in before they did, I told M fake baby is coming back. I get behind the counter where it is safe.
L1: *walks in, the other one is outside with stroller*
M: Maam, you have to leave.
L1:What? Why?
M: You know what you did. We saw you on camara.
L1: You didn't see anything on camara.
M: Just leave.
L1: *walks out*
L2: *opens door* Why can't we come in?
Me: Maam, you know what you did, we saw you on camara.
L2: Like what?
Me: Maam, you took a car air freshner and tried to pull a display phone that DOES NOT work out of it's case...
L2: *Leaves and doesn't come back*
Ha! You are caught. Thought you were so slick coming in with a fake baby and taking stuff.
Tweaked out lady
A woman comes in and she is obviously is on drugs. M and I are watching her and she stares back at us. She gets a hotdog and an Icee and she makes a huge mess. She comes to the counter and makes a mess there too. She plops money on the counter. The total was like $2.06. She puts down two dollars. I'am about to pick it up. Then she changes the dollar to a 5 bill and pushes it to me.
Me: Maam, you had it right the first time. It is $2.06.
TL: Oh. *changes money, moves around erractically*
Me*Takes money*
I have a line forming behind her and waiting on her to move so I can help the next customer. She is taking her money out of her wallet and very slowly straightens them out and trying to count her money.
Me: Maam, is there anything else you need?
TL: No, I'm done.
Me: Then, it is time to move along.
TL: Okay....
Me: *watches her leave and shaking head*
Yeah, stay off the drugs. They are bad! She wasn't sucky. We don't need druggies hanging around too long before they do something stupid.
There were other people who had attitudes about the ID issue. Which is an everyday thing.
I had to tell a guy to leave the property for asking people for money. I was outside listening to him when he asked someone. Moron
Next door at the strip club, someone drew a shot gun on somebody and the cops were called. A guy with a cow boy hat was arrested. Soon after, the K-9 Unit was called over. I'm sure there was some drug activity going on.
Well, that was my Christmas. Lovely. So, how was work today for you?
