The Cat Lady

[Evil Cashier 411]

We in retail have a specific SC that every cashier knows about. We call her a Cat Lady. She is our regular, but she has a lack of hygeine and complains about prices of almost everything. Everytime I see her enter the store, I pray that she will head towards another cashier to check out. Unfortunately, she tends to chose me instead (Probably because I'm usually the one who puts up with her Cr*p). Here's how it usually goes.

Me:
SC: Cat Lady*smells like cat piss everytime she comes to my register.*

Me: Hello, Did you find everything that you're been looking for?
SC: I think so. Can you check the price on this one item A?
Me: Sure. *scans item* It's $3.99.
SC: Can you scan this one and tell me the price on it item B?
Me: *scans* Item B is 2 for $5.
( at this point the cat piss smells worse)
SC: but I thought the Item B was on sale for $1.99.
Me. Let me check the Ad for Item B.
*checks the Ad that states Item B should be 2 for $5.*
Me: Mam, the Ad states that item B is 2 for $5.
SC. I don't want it then.
Me: Are you sure? It's only 51 cent difference.
SC. No. I only want it for $1.99. I'll just pay for the Item A.
Me. ok
SC: *pays for the Item in cash*(the cash also smells like cat piss)
Me: thank you, you have a great evening.

As soon as SC left, I wanted to rant this, but I did it in my head.
GOOD LORD, DOES THAT LADY EVER TAKES A SHOWER OR EAITHER WASHES HER CLOTHES? AND DOES SHE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE PRICES IN EVERY STORE?

I wish I could rant that, but I won't since I tend to be nice

In addition, I saw her at Wallyworld the other day while I was shopping. How did I recognized her before even looking? The Smell of cat piss of course.

I run into my regulars at WallyWorld, too, but I tend to hop around a corner.

There's a man in my store just like this. I've seen him on Uscan twice and both times he went into a rant about the price of a particular package of Little Debbie snack cakes because one he bought was on sale and one wasn't. The first time a manager explained to him how the sales work and why some items are put on sale and some aren't but he barely believed him and just took the non-sale package off, and the second time he went to look for another manager that he's apparently spoken to before that wasn't the first one. He wore this huge yellow shirt with holes in it, had greasy looking hair, and smelled.

And of course, there's a woman in the store we call "smelly cat lady" that has this odd looking blonde hair and usually has on the exact same clothing. And, of course... reeks of cat piss. A former cashier lives next to her and says her house smells the same way. One time when she came in after she left the manager sprayed Lysol around everywhere it was so bad.

I had one of those when I was cashiering. Her money smelled so bad that I couldn't even give it out as change. Finally I had to call the lead to take it away before it stank up the entire till. It was nauseating.

When I got home that day, I showered and showered and sent my clothes through the washer twice to get the (probably imagined) smell gone.

We also used to have an old man that came to the store that would be ok when he came in, but he'd walk by you again a while later having obviously peed his pants. He smelled bad too once that happened. I don't know if he didn't know or if he didn't care.

People who live surrounded by a specific stench get to the point where they can't smell it themselves. So she can't even smell the cat stink.

We used to have a customer who for some reason wouldn't live in his house, and lived on the street. Always wore the same clothes and blankets year round, even in the summer. He and his money smelt like fecal matter and/or urine.

For some reason we, er, corporate never banned him, but kept a box of gloves at each register and put any money given to the side where it was bagged and labeled as smelling like urine/fecal matter and given to the armored car company like that so they could deal whit it.

So to handle catpiss money you need to wear a hazrat suit?

Cat, meet Dalesys. He is, for all intents and purposes, a living incarnation of "Wrong"
