  • Too much information

    I hate it when someone comes to my window and throws out their life story when all I want to do is cash them out and send them on their merry way.

    #1

    I had this guy come into my line with his under twenty one year old daughter.
    SC=Well obviously
    UAD=Under aged Daughter

    SC: Do you cash payroll checks here?

    Me: Well it depends if the company has an account with us.
    I soon look over and realize that there's a girl standing with him. She looks really young.

    Me: Are you 21?
    Even if she answered yes, I was still going to card her.

    UAD: No.

    Me: Then you can't be up here.

    SC: But we're just cashing out...


    Me: Sorry but for this transaction she needs to leave.

    The girl got all pissy and walked away.

    I looked at the check itself and it was handwritten, had no name in the 'pay to the order of' and to me looked rather fishy. I took it over to the supervisor who promptly told me no. I thought so.

    Me: I'm sorry sir, we can't cash this.

    SC: *sighs* Neither could the other casino. Where else can I cash it?

    How the hell should I know!? It's not like I know the policies of the other casinos and if I tell you we can't cash it what makes you think I know where you can? Wait until the next day and go to the freaking bank?

    Me: I'm not quite sure but let me ask anyway.

    I was being nice. I could've just said I didn't know.

    I asked the supervisor and she told me about the all check cashing place across the street from one of the casinos.

    Me: Sir, there's an all check cashing place right across from ____ casino.

    SC: How many blocks is it? I'm a trucker and I'm not from around here.

    Me: Ummm It's about four casino's down and it's on the right hand side, pink buildings.

    SC: I *really* need this cashed. See, my daughter recently started her period and is in dire need of tampons. We need to eat and we need money for a place to stay...

    Well, I guess he didn't even have a quarter because he could've gotten her a tampon from the girls restroom... Well I mean she'd get it but you know what I mean.
    ME: Yuck. I'm not immature or anything but quite honestly I'd rather not have an old man explain that his daughter is on her period with me. Not my business.

    It was on Christmas and my Co-worker had on a headband that looked like reindeer antlers that had flashing lights on them. Of course she would attract attention but I guarantee she got more than she bargained for.

    SG=Some guy who says too much for his own good
    Me=Me hehe
    A=The girl with the antlers

    SG: Wow nice horns you have there. You make me horny!

    He thought it was hilarious to yell that out.

    A and I just kind of rolled our eyes.

    SG: Though I have to be careful because I got fired in CA for sexual harassment...


    A and I kind of at each other because that's not something you should be yelling out. He wasn't really a SC but he was a moron for yelling something like that out.

    ME: What next a guy who admits he's on Americas Most wanted?

    Crazy. Really.

    #1 - Urrrrg. Uuuugh... Nature's beautiful and all, dude, but really, must you? Must you really?

    #2 - Either of you get stricken with the urge to take a really long, obvious step backwards? I'm male and that was still my first reaction to this guy.

      While sort of innappropriate (sp?), I kinda feel really bad for the first guy if he was telling the truth. I probably would have given him 20 bucks just to make myself feel better just in case he was telling the truth. I'd hate to be his daughter.


      The secong guy was just creepy though.

        Situation #1-- I would've found it more believable if the girl had been the one to mention her problem.

        Situation #2-- :shudders: Icky icky icky.

          Idk, the period excuse has always worked for me if I ever wanted to get out of a date or use it as an excuse to be lazy........meh......

          I love people with too much information....so gross yet so funny. I love to hear about hemmroids and diahrrea and whatnot, the things people will say to make their case stronger!

            Hey, sometimes too much information is the quickest way over needless barriers, as well as needless questions from, frankly, needless people. A little OT, but I remember once in HS this worked well for me. **warning to the squeamish**
            Me: Yours Truly, but in fine form this day due to a Midol deficiency
            MT: Ornery Math Teacher With Superiority Issues
            Me: Mr. N***, can I go to the bathroom?
            MT: No!
            Me: Mr. N***, I really have to go. NOW. (Keep in mind, we were doing busy work, not in the middle of anything under a time limit)
            MT: No! You're jsut saying that to get out of work! (Also keep in mind, I had a nice shiny A in the class)
            Me: *snap* *projecting my voice, thank goodness for theatre* Look, I'm leaking gore out of my crotch, my tampon is about to give up the ghost, and unless you want me spackling your shiny white floor with gobbets of blood, I need to go to the bathroom RIGHT NOW.
            MT: *stunned silence, brilliant scarlet blush*
            MT: Um... go ahead.
            Maybe it's jsut me and the house I was raised in, but I take care of me and my body first before I let some old bald guy with control issues make me ruin my favorite pair of jeans...

              Blas, my fiance would be more than happy to give you any and all details you would enjoy to hear about his various bodily functions, if you're so inclined. Maybe during my annual trip back to my homeland of WI.

                I dunno Becks, when I spent Christmas with the family, I had to wait while my father was in the bathroom for almost an hour, and the noises coming from the bathroom, I swear on everything that is holy and good.......were not human or pleasant. It sounded like the a bomb being dropped on a toilet.

                And nearly every time I call baby brother to see what he's doing, I get "Can I call you back blas, I gotta go poopy/gotta go make brown!"

                And then there's my roomate who takes his laptap into the bathroom and spends 30 minutes to an hour grunting and groaning like a caveman.

                It's pretty entertaining I dunno what I'd do with any more bodily entertainment.

                  Maybe I'm just old and jaded, but the first one doesn't bother me at all. A lot of younger girls - and indeed, older ones - are incredibly squeamish about their periods and would rather die in a small squishy heap than mention to a stranger (even a strange woman) that they were on at that point. I bet she was dying inside when her dad told you she needed tampons. If he really didn't have even a quarter, surely he could have asked a couple of women in the casino, the odds are good that they would either have tapons with them or would offer to get one out of the machine for her .I would, if someone asked me !

                  The second one is just strange.
