Quoth EricKei View PostI think every place that sells sigs should be allowed to post a nice big sign:

I have a habit of repeating what they say back to make sure that is what they are asking for (and also b/c if it's noisy around me, I want to make sure I heard correctly.)
After repeating it back to him and he confirmed, I brought back the carton he asked for, only for him to say he asked for Winston white box (formerly ultra lights.)
I repeated what I had heard him say earlier and he said he may have said that but he meant the white carton.
Well, if you meant the white carton, why the hell didn't you say so to begin with, even after I'd repeated it back to you the first friggen time?
Frankly, I don't care if you're picking them up for your dog . . . either have it written down, an empty pack with you or, better still, let whoever is smoking them come get them themselves. I only go by what you say, as I have no idea of what you meant to say, nor am I a mind reader.

I think The Game (TM blas) is passive-agressive bullshit. The suckies are upset that the cigarettes are behind the counter or locked up so they're "getting back" at the store by making the process painful for the clerk.The best karma is letting a jerk bash himself senseless on the wall of your polite indifference.
The stupid is strong with this one.

Quoth EricKei View PostI'm fairly certain that most or all of these are available quite readily -- All I gotta do is go down to the French Quarter after dark and find the right out-of-the-way, unmarked shop...
Actually, the are an alarming number of nasty things you can make from things you can find in your backyard or local park.The Rich keep getting richer because they keep doing what it was that made them rich. Ditto the Poor.

I had at least 2 customers today ask for cigs and when I asked for clarification they repeated the same damn thing. Then I say 'Ok, do you want shorts or longs, soft pack or box.' And they cotton on to the fact that I need more info. (Both wanted brands that sell mostly menthol so that question was moot.)Driver Picks the Music, Shotgun Shuts His Cakehole.

Oh dear Deity(S)!!!!!!!!!!!
Corporate raised the price of the cigarettes a whole 20 cents today!!!!!!! (We are still cheaper than most of the other stores/gas stations around here). You'd think the sky had fallen in.
But does that stop "Cigarettes" or "Pall Mall" or "Marlboro" when they get to the counter??? NO it merely gives them license to bitch even MORE ... because now I don't only magically know what they want, I am pocketing the price increase as well <end sarcasm>

The prices on most of our cigs have been so wonky lately that I no longer can give a price with and without tax on most of our stock. And I just finished the cig reset and the planogram doesn't have a dozen or so of our most popular cigs. Am I about to have to tell customers we won't be selling their favorite cigs anymore?Driver Picks the Music, Shotgun Shuts His Cakehole.
