Coupon Conniption:
I'm at the service desk waiting for somebody to verify a duplicate receipt for one of the approximately 78,543,332,298,467,029,475,202 items I carried out today. In front of me is some old bat wanting an adjustment done because the cashier forgot to scan a coupon she had. More like the old skinbag forgot to present it in the first place.
Front-end manager takes her receipt and finds everything was paid for with a credit card. She asks old bag for the card. Old bag tells her it was her husband's card, and he's waiting out in their car.
FEM explains she can't do any adjustments without the card used to make the purchase. Old bat says "Fine, I just won't shop here any more!"
And the kicker is, the coupon turned out to be expired anyway, and cash office and LP are up the front end's butts about checking the expiration dates before accepting any coupons.
Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit
SG: Some guy
W: Some guy's wife
Me: SILENCE! I KEEL YOU!
I'm returning from another carryout. SG flags me down.
SG: Can you help us? We're looking for those remote-control flameless candles you have in your ad.
(Author's note: Yes, these do exist, they're carried at Ye Olde Clearance Swampe, and evidently people have decided they are THE must-give item for Christmas this year. We had all of six in stock earlier this week and sold them all yesterday when our current ad began.)
Me: (scans the shelf label to find none on hand and none on order) Sorry, but we're out of them right now, and we can' give any rainchecks. There's also none on order, but that could mean they just haven't hit the DC yet and we'll have them sometime in the future.
W: (in a voice loud enough to be heard across the store) THAT'S BULLSHIT! I've been to six stores already, none of them have those candles, and everybody's telling me different things! That's half my Christmas list shot right there! My Christmas is going to be RUINED!
So yeah, I guess I'm in the lead for ruined Christmases again. You all have some work to do to catch up.
And seriously, of all the flameless candles we have in the store, why are the ones with remote control the only ones people want? I swear there's too much money in making things to help people be lazier...

Note to self: Invent remote-controlled flush toilet.

Another note to self: Invent remote-controlled flush toilet/Barca-Lounger. No need to leave your seat or reach behind you when nature calls during the big game!
