I Don't DO 100's!

[BrenDAnn]

I suppose I should be thankful that I only had one memorable customer in my whole 7 hr shift today. yet, I'd rather have none. Anyway, so, I was doing my thing, y'know, ringing up customers, making sure none of them drove off with gas, the usual, when this gem of a cigarette customer came in. The cast:

CB: Cigarette B*tch...Aptly named, you'll see why.
ME: Your friendly c-store clerk who reallyreallyreally needs vacation like YESTERDAY!

CB: **comes up to the counter** Can I get Oldport shorts in a box?
ME: May I have your ID please? **goes to cig rack sees that we're out of Old port shorts**
CB: **says something about 100s**
ME: **thinking she said 100s were okay, grabs a box, starts to ring them up**
CB: **cat butt face** I don't DO 100s! I wanted shorts!
ME: I'm sorry. **goes back to rack, puts pack back** I thought you said 100s were okay.
CB: Excuse me?
ME: I thought you said 100s were okay. I'm sorry.
CB: I don't DO 100s. **huff** Just gimme a pack of Kewls.
ME: Alright then **grabs Kewls, goes and rings them up** Sorry about that. I misunderstood you.
CB: Yeah. I don't DO 100s. **pays** Thanks **grabs cigs and leaves**

Ohhh how I wish I could've replied with "And I don't DO snippy, conceited bitches. Sorry." I'm not exaggerating how many times she said it, either! When I related the story to my coworker, JP, later, he had the BEST retort: "Well apparently no one will DO you, either!" I love JP! He makes work SO much more bearable! As for cigarette b*tch...I hope I don't see her again anytime soon! Ugh!

I can think of a few things she could do, one of which involved large angry grizzlies and another which involved train tracks...

Can someone inform me of the difference between 100's and shorts? I usually smoke shorts if I'm going to smoke, but it never really mattered either way....... Especially to the point of being haughty about your cheap, shitty cigarettes.

[BrenDAnn]

I'm not a smoker, Whiskey, but I always thought it was just the length. Either way, I have nothing against smokers, but I prefer them...well...non-picky. Makes my job easier!

[lupo pazzesco]

so....size DOES matter after all...?

sheldon you give lupo her account back right this instant!

100's... Shorts... No real difference, they both kill you dead.

Unless you're "lucky" like my uncle and end up down 3/4 of a lung and STILL smoking!

[Mnemjian]

Sounds like somebody reeeeally needed a cigarette

Although that is something I might start saying to customers who try to pay for a $3 item with a $100... "Sorry but I don't DO 100's." *snap*

[ViolaPlayer]

Regular cigarettes are 80 mm long and "100s" are 100 mm long. That's all the difference there is.

And size does matter..... Really :P

[Mytical]

I am not a smoker, but one smoker told me "Its because there is just as much nicotine in a 100 as there is a normal" which I think a few people believe. I have no clue how accurate that is, just pointing out that some people seem to think that way. *shrugs*

Also, some people might be using shorter fags to try to wean themselves off the habit slowly. For an extreme example, see the type from Fifth Element, which are mostly filter with a very short "active" section at the end.

Also, some people might be using shorter fags

everyone is aware fag is across-the-pond lingo for cigarettes, yeah?

[BrenDAnn]

Oh good lord, what did I start?? Wait...so a regular cig is 80mm...so Marlboro 72's are shorter by all of 8mm? That's it? Wow. Anyway...I must be off for another (hopefully non) exciting day at the c-store. Pray that Miss I-don-t-do-100's doesn't make a return!

[blas]

Marlboro 72s are most likely even shorter yet. Those are really small ciggies.
