  • 2.5 Sheets To The Wind. (tiny rant)

    <rant>

    I am not in a good mood at all. Those who follow me on Twitter know I'm been whining about my current diet being so restrictive and that I want cake or peanut butter or just something other than chicken or celery or spinach (but I can't have any treats or else the pounds I worked to lose will explode back onto my body). In addition to that, I scrubbed the toilets again tonight and I am TIRED of doing R's job for him and him whining about "ewww gross the toilets are yucky". Well duh after a week of not being cleaned the toilets will have mold in them from the 75+ people using it on a constant basis day after day. Fact of life. I don't get paid enough to do his job.

    2.5 Sheets To The Wind

    Even if the guy did have his ID with him I still would've refused to sell him the beer he wanted. He was doing that being overly careful thing that drunks do when they are drunk; but he wasn't drunk enough to slur his speech or anything yet.

    Apparently carpal tunnel braces on my wrists mean I should be promoted to manager to get away from a job that requires less typing and he'd recommend me to be one. He shook my hand on it and stumbled away with his iced tea and gum.

    Bonus: More Money For Beer?

    There was a guy who was upset that the 12 pack of "Smatty Ice" was MORE money than the 18 pack, and he whined to manager J about it; who told him there was nothing he could do as the prices were set by the vendor.

    It's like the people who come in and whine I should give them a discount on giftwrap and gift bags and that they never go on sale. Too bad, they're set in stone and I have NO power to change the prices on any of that for them. Oh, you don't like that? Tough; sign up for the "healthiness +" card and earn 500 or 1000 points by the end of the year to get discounts.

    Or the people who whine about I should give them a discount for being such a good customer. No, good customers don't ask for discounts. Good customers shut up and pay the advertised price unless there really is a price discrepancy (item marked clearance ringing in at full price for example). Scammers and cheap people ask for discounts on stuff they dropped or banged around or that got a little dirty from other people touching it; or "I'm such a good customer I shop here all the time". No, usually not true. Go away.

    Lemme guess: sale on the big pack but not on the small one? Not all that uncommon.

      and a very good tactic to increase sales. A six pack does me well, but its 8.99$ for one. Its 11.99$ for a 12 pack (continuously on "sale").

      I get a 12-pack.
