Oh, great! I thought I started a thread about Screamy Guy but a look through my recent threads says that apparently I didn't. I still get the feeling that I might've mentioned him in another post, or at least a variation of him. So if this is a repeat, ignore it. Screamy Guy was a few days ago; the others happened today.
I still work at Aid of Rite.
FSCK YOU
So, Screamy Guy (who is a bit...slow, in a few senses of the word) comes in and wants me to reload his "Blue Dot" card. For those who don't know, "Blue Dot" is a reloadable credit card. You purchase the "Blue Dot" card of your choice, load an amount anywhere between $20-500, plus the $4.95 fee, then you mail in your information. A couple weeks later, you get a personalized "Blue Dot" card that looks like a credit card. To load money onto your "Blue Dot" card, you purchase a prepaid card, say the amount you want the cashier to put on it, and then scratch off the PIN number on the back and activate the number, just like you would if you have a pay as you go cell phone plan.
Screamy Guy takes out his "Blue Dot" card, then slaps it and the reloadable card on the counter. (Important!) "Do you need both?"
"No sir, just the reloadable card!"
I load the card with the amount he wanted on and send him on his way. He tucks both cards into his pocket. (Important!) I go for my lunch.
A few minutes later, Cashier A2 comes in for a second, obviously concealing her rage. I thought she was just upset at how busy the day was, but then she turns to me.
"Did you sell a guy a 'Blue Dot' card?"
"Yeah."
"He's on the phone right now cursing up a storm and saying I'm a bitch and eff this and that and us because we kept his card."
"No. He took the card with him, did he check his pockets?"
"Yes, and he's still swearing at me. I told him that he has no right to talk to me like that and I am going to hang up on him."
A few minutes after that...Screamy Guy calls back, and apologizes to A2 because...anyone? Anyone?
That's right! He checked his pockets and found the card that was there, all along, like I knew it would be.
Listening Ears, Anyone? Pt. 2
This guy was all upset with me that I was not listening to him because his ketchup and mayo purchase came up to $10 and he only had $5. I was trying to explain that I needed his "Healthiness +" card. Lo and behold, he gave it to me, it came up to about $5. If he had stopped arguing with me that "Mayo is supposed to be $2.99 and you're NOT LISTENING TO ME" I would've got him out of there 30 seconds sooner. At least he left happy.
"Did I Grab the Wrong One?"
The answer is: Yes. On PURPOSE.
"Shmershey's" single serve bars are 50 cents a piece this week with "Healthiness +" card. Girl comes up with a "Mestle" bar and a "Shmershey's" bar and then gets upset.
"But they're both 50 cents!"
"Nope! Just the "Shmershey's. Here, let me sign you up for the card!"
I sign her up and she's STILL mad the "Mestle" bar isn't on sale. She tosses 50 cents at me and then grabs the "Mestle" bar and tries to run.
"MA'AM!"
"Oh. Did I grab the wrong one?" She grabs the "Shmershey's" and bolts.
That's Snot It!
(Yes this is the gross one if you couldn't figure out the title)
A regular customer of ours, "Tim" has tourette's and I am fairly sure I posted about him before a couple years ago. Anywho, he comes in and usually buys beer. Today, "Tim" had a runny nose.
A giant wad of clear, gelatinous snot dripping out his nose, at least half an inch long, shivering like it was in an unpleasant breeze.
"Oh my GOD Tim lemme grab you a tissue!" (Thinking: EWWW EWWW EWW DRY HEAVE)
I grab the tissue and give it to him. By this time the wad has grown to be about an inch. "Tim" takes the tissue and wipes his face, smearing it all down into his bead. Bleh. The wad is gone.
Or is it? No! It's gotten ALL OVER the counter. Apparently "Tim" had dropped another wad of snot on the beer he was buying, which got smeared all over the counter.
After he left I tell the poor customer behind to wait while I crack out the rubbing alcohol and spray a liberal coating all over my counter. Cashier K comes by.
"What are you doing?"
"Tim dripped snot all over my counter."
"Oh. Hahaha, I saw him earlier and I didn't want to deal with him. Hahaha."
Thanks, K. Really. NOT.
Bonus: WTF, Corporate?
When I'm taking apart the ad for next week, I know I complained about the new "rewards" that we are offering before. I think they sound shady and they annoy, but you can use said reward for ANYTHING, not just for the purchase of that product. So if I get a reward off "General Bill's" cereal, I can turn around and use that towards hand lotion and get a coupon amount off. Anywho, the thing that confuses me is that for "Sally Jansen's" hair removal products next week are BOGO 50%, and half the signs have a plain sign saying that. The others say that, but they also say "If you buy 3 products you receive a $3.00 reward!" They've done that for several other products, too. Why do only half the products say the reward? Why not put it on ALL the products?
