Cell phone stupidity, and ruining a 7 year old's Christmas(long)

[aurelemsrealm]

I would have finished the first one the moment she told me to shut up. I would have voided her transaction, removed her stuff from the counter, and told her to leave. She can decide whether to leave on her own or with the police.

As for the second one, I think those types should be treated the same as panhandlers. After all, they're essentially begging for a handout. Customers should have a general idea of what they can afford before they ever even walk into the store. I mean, I plan ahead and generally know what I can afford before I even go shopping.

There is no excuse for either behavior, and my tolerance for such rudeness and stupidity declines with every work day. Sorry, I think I was starting to rant at some of my own customers again.

L: Tell my child that when she cries all day tomorrow you skinflint!<L pays and and leaves>

Not only would I gladly tell her that, I would just as gladly have a duplicate copy of the receipt and would show the child all the OTHER books that mommy bought instead on the one that the child really wanted.

My revenge would be the years of hatred that the child would develop towards her mother. I would masturbate to the thought of all the tears her mother would shed when the child decides to get married in Vegas by some Elvis Impersonator instead of the full church do in front of the whole family because the child learns what a flaming Charlie Uniform November Tango the mother really is.

That is exactly why I don't say a word to anyone on the phone. If you come up to my register and you are gabbing on the phone you are on your own. 99% of the time they fudge something up, like you said, don't slide their card right or don't move to the next step, forget their club card...obviously distracted. Imagine that.

But ya, I wont say a word. I've even had customers ask me why I'm just standing there (instead of telling them what to do, when the prompt on the screen IS telling them) and I've told them, "I'm not interrupting your conversation, that would be rude."

Get off the phone. I know you think you have it all together and you can figure out how to pay and talk at the same time, but trust me, you will screw something up. And I am not going to help you.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that. That was a good episode.

Oh yeah I get it all the time. Christmas the season when "Man eat man". Lets see the item is on back order they have waited a month already and still have not gotten it. And you know it is all my fault. I must be on the road stoping all the trucks just to spit them. Or no maby I bought the hole stock of this item??

Then they ask me to move them up on the list because they realy need it. Two things A. I can't change the list... I can't even see it! B. Why would I nock every on done just for this one person and would it the person at the top has wait 3 months?? But it is still all my fault!
