  • I Wish There Were an IQ Test to Shop Here

    Marlboro-what?

    SC: I'd like Marlboro Red Silvers.
    Me: *turns around and then stops, brain reboot...*
    SC: The 4.98 ones.
    Me: *as if I know all the prices by heart minus the taxes...?*
    SC: *sigh of impatience* Gawd, the short ones.
    Me: The RED 72s?
    SC: Sure, whatever.

    That's what he wanted. He wanted the Red 72s. Does he not realize that Marlboro Red = Regular and Marlboro Silver = Ultra Light and that Marlboro Red Silvers = NOTHING KNOWN TO MAN?!

    CALL THEM WHAT THEY ARE OR DON'T SMOKE THEM. I can't believe it when people don't even know what they smoke. Come in with the empty pack and SHOW me if you're that unsure.

    Press Debit, Want Credit

    We have new card swipey things, we've never had them before. They work a little differently from the normal kinds. You swipe and then you pick whether you want your transaction credit or debit. It's not hard to see the screen but people always end up moving it around and picking it up and just generally being ridiculous about them. The worst part is when they hit "cancel" because everywhere else you have to hit cancel to do credit. For us cancel means cancel. You have to swipe your card again.

    This guy took the cake.

    SC: *swipes card, hits debit*
    Me: You can enter your PIN now. (I have to hit a button on the register)
    SC: No, no PIN.
    Me: Excuse me?
    SC: No PIN, I don't want that. I want...
    Me: Credit?
    SC: Yeah.
    Me: *cancels trans* Swipe your card again Sir.
    SC: *swipes card and goes to poke the screen for Debit again*
    Me: Sir... *leans over the register and pokes Credit before he can hit the button.*

    ...really? Debit is the in the CENTER of the screen. Credit is at the TOP. Come on, people. So far he messed it up the worst and when he looked at me it was like it was my fault he pressed the wrong button. I'm just glad I interfered before I had to go through an endless cycle.

    Attention Everyone:

    I don't give two airborne copulations about what type of gas you'll be pumping when you prepay inside the store. That's your job. That's what YOU worry about. You still have to press the right button out there, I have no control over that. So when I say, "That's nice" after you say, "I want Diesel" it's because you're telling me something I don't need to know.

    My Job, and Your Job

    Guy brings in a half gallon of milk bought on the 23rd. His wife bought that half gallon on the 23rd. Technically that milk doesn't need to be pulled off the shelf until midnight of that day. So realistically speaking: It was perfectly fine to buy, they just didn't drink it fast enough. In fact it was still SEALED when they brought it back in on the 31st. We generally pull it off the shelf the day before but since we have our own dairy and we create SO MANY different milk products, it's hard to keep them all up to date and pulled off the shelves. Especially since that's 3rd shifts responsibility but little ol' me on 2nd seems to do it more often. ANYHOW. My favorite thing was what he told us when we asked why she hadn't checked the date:

    "That's your job, not hers."

    They all just kinda stared at him with these looks on their faces that were like, "You're not serious...you are...well you're dumb." I got told about it later and I hope he wasn't in the store when I came out with, "What an idiot, we've got way more important things to be doing than guessing what day people are going to drink their milk by."

    Cash Back

    SC: I want cash back.
    CW: I can't do cash back but there's an ATM in the back.
    SC: What the fuck?! That's the whole reason I even came in here!
    CW: We don't have the ability to do it. We can't keep that kind of money in the drawer anyhow.
    SC: That's the stupidest thing. How the hell am I supposed to get money now?
    CW: ATM?
    SC: I get charged!
    CW: I dunno what to tell you, we don't have a function for cash back unless you write a check.
    SC: I can't believe this. *storms out*

    ...I don't understand why people think a GAS STATION, the most likely place to be ROBBED would give them 60-100 dollars in cash back. Idiots. I'm surrounded by IDIOTS.

    I hardly ever use ATMs because of the fees. If I use my debit card and need cash, I'll ask for a cash back option, but if I'm told "no cash back" then I just smile and say, "OK" and go somewhere else. It's really not that big a deal.

    I don't know of any gas station or C-store that does cash back for exactly the reason Gaki describes. Ditto for fast food places. I usually get my cash back at the grocery store, sometimes at other stores like the Orange Apron, Big Staple, or where ever.

    But if I'm really in a crunch, I'll bite the bullet and use the ATM.
    They say that God only gives us what we can handle. Apparently, God thinks I'm a bad ass.

      I know the smokers... the ones that come in and say "I want a 10-pack". Just that. Luckily I can just point them to the Vensafe touchscreen so they can find it themselves.

        Strangely enough, both of the gas stations nearest my place do cash back. But with a limit of like $20. If I wanted anything more than pocket change, I'd go to a grocery or, you know, my bank.
