Are you open?

[Zinjadu]

It never ends...

Last night:

SC asks me if I'm open.

I look up at my checkstand light and say, "Hmmm, the light is on and I'm standing here... soooo, I guess I'm open."

Yes, I am a smarta$$

I can understand it if I'm just sitting alone at the till; however, if I'm just saying "goodbye" to my last customer, that should indicate to even the stupidest person that my till is open. It always annoys me when people ask when it's blatently obvious.

Re: Are you open today

When I was a phone rep at a package company, I was working the day after Thanksgiving. The majority of the calls that day were pertaining to whether or not the drivers were operating that day. The questions varied from "Are you guys picking up today?", "Are you guys open today?", etc. About my 200th call of the day, a woman asked "Are you working today?" and I replied "No, I'm sitting on my couch watching TV. How can I not help you today?". She started laughing her ass off realizing the stupid question she asked. I politely said "I know what you mean - yes, the drivers are working today and you will receive your pick up."

When I was in high school, I worked at a Dollar Tree where (you guessed it) everything cost $1. People constantly asked me how much items cost. We had Frisbee-sized neon pink signs plastered everywhere that read, "Everything is $1!" One day I hung one of those signs around my neck as a joke. Imagine my bewilderment when one of the first customers of the day asked me the price of an item. I told him it was $15.99.

It'd be soooo funny if someone actually pays that amount. You'd have a nice tip on account of that person being an idiot.......

I'm sure you can find that cake...bachelorette parties and such. I'm tempted to do a google search but I'm at work, so...um....I won't.

You can get them at Fantasy Video, too.....yay for bachelorette party gifts!


I get many calls and walk ins who ask what our hours are, despite the automated system and large amounts of signage. My stock answer to the question of when we close?
"We don't."

"We don't."

When I work at the front counter, I wear my pretty "open 24 hours" hat (I kid you not, they gave me this a few weeks ago). But, sadly, I don't have a "open 6am-9pm" hat, so when I'm at the cafe, I must answer rather than just point to my head.
