I got a prize winner tonight. In case you don't know, I work in a video store and friday nights are extremely busy. My boss left early tonight because she was sick, so I got stuck working alone. Within minutes of her leaving I had a line halfway across the store. Now, I think I'm doing pretty well at this point, no one is yelling and I'm running through the line pretty quickly. Then, crazy woman (who had probably been waiting no more than ten minutes) gets to the front of the line.
CW: crazy woman
Me: well, me
(my thoughts)
CW: Are you the only one working tonight?
Me: yes (duh, do you see anyone else)
CW: I know it's not your fault, but the line is always so long when I come in here, I really hate waiting in line, so I just wanted to let you know that this is the last time I'm going to rent here (WTF). I've decided to get netflix so I don't have to wait in line anymore. I know it's not your fault (you already said that part) and I'm not angry at you (really? that warms my heart) but the lines are just too long. How come you never have enough people here?
Me: we're really short staffed right now, and my boss had to go home sick. (and thank you very much for taking up so much of my time that the line behind you has doubled in size)
CW: that's just not right, in my store (you work retail and you're giving me sh**? oh come on!) when you go home sick you have to find a replacement.
Me: (please just go away) my coworker is on her way in, she should be here soon.(why the hell am I still engaging you in conversation?)
CW: It doesn't really matter, since I'm not going to rent here anymore after tonight.
Me: sorry for the inconveniece have a nice night (please for the love of God sign up for netflix as soon as you get home!)
