So this could be a post in sightings too. But this week has been CRAZY for my store and as we all know, it's only getting worse.
Little background: I now work at one of the busiest grocery superstores in my city. It's not directly in the core of downtown so it gets ALOT of driving traffic, and has a very diverse group of shoppers. Others in my company (I work for a bank inside the store) call my store 'the one that gets all types', referring to the customers of course. So here goes.
Was the REALLY necessary??
So I'm doing my normal Fufu thing, out front of my pavillion bugging people, handing out brochures, promoting our fantastic offer and such. This is actually our slow time of year if you can believe it.
So this lady customer stops briefly to grab some information from me. I usually try and pull customers to the side if they stop to talk because they would be blocking a high traffic area (people exiting the store) if they stop directly where I am standing. Well this lady was a sweetheart but a little slow when it came to understanding she was blocking cart traffic. The gentleman, if we can even call him that, behind her had his cart fully stopped and was staring daggers into the back of her head. He was paused for not even 10 seconds before he rammed his previously fully stopped shopping cart forward into my customer taking, I assume, a chunk of flesh out of her ankles with the force he was using. My customer yelped and turned around assuming it was an accident.
Did this man even try and pretend it was an accident?? Nope. No, not at all. In fact, all he had to say was "Keep moving lady!". So there I am, jaw dropped, in shock. My response, "Really?????????"
People are so f-in cruel to each other sometimes. Makes me sad.....
Nope, that's not how it's done. But nice try
i thought it was common sense these days that cash goes into an envelope before going into the machine.... no?
I had a lady customer come in to ask a question and in it all had a curious look come across her face and say 'I know this sounds like a silly question but, how does the bank know I genuinely deposited the correct amount of cash?"
I should also mention we are a mid-sized bank and every deposit is done through the ABM, we have no tellers.
Fufu: well they count your cash when they take it out of the envelope at head office.
SC: *blank stare*
Fufu: So, they count your cash a few days after it's deposited
SC: but how do they KNOW i deposited the right amount? And I didn't just lie about it?
Fufu: Because you would either have the correct amount in the envelope or not...
SC: But what if someone else lied about their deposit, how do they know who's lying??
Fufu: Because your account number and transaction info is stamped on the envelope, so they know who made the transaction
SC: *blank stare* I don't understand what you mean by envelope...
Fufu: The envelope, the folder we provide there to put the money or your cheques in. The one you put in the machine with the cash in it. This one *pointing at large holder full of envelopes directly beside the machine in easy to see and grab placement*
SC: I'm supposed to put my cash in that?
Fufu: Well yes, that's what we need you to do, but if it was in another envelope it'll be fine, it should still be received and verified no problem.
SC: .......... what if I just put the cash through the machine? Without the envelope??
Fufu:...................... i.........don't.......know? Let me find out???
SC: Will it take long?? I'm in a hurry
Apparently, as you don't have the time to put cash inside a paper envelope
SC: I always wondered why there was a picture of an envelope going into the machine as I'm making the deposit!
ya, thats right. I forgot they gave you an animated short DISPLAYING exactly how to deposit the envelope as your doing it, on top of the written step by step directions, sheesh
Anyways, it all worked out. But really???? Just hand the cash over to the drawer, i can't believe it didn't jam my machine up.
You're giving the rest of us a bad title
Women driver, doing the typical 21 point parking job, leaving me idling patiently in the parking lot waiting for her to finish just so I can pass to find my own parking spot. This left me 10 mins late for work. I know, I know....leave earlier for work.... from now on I leave much earlier to account for these things. But I've never seen someone take so long to park a car into such a wide and open spot. It was a tiny compact car too.....
Well, actually, this one is worse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uLECuGK07U
