  • The door says pull. Why don't I push on it for a while?

    Kinda trashy-looking woman comes to the swamp today, along with her husband/boyfriend/baby daddy, who himself appears not to be somebody to be loved for his mind, but for that sexy way he crushes beer cans against his forehead.
    They buy a kids' bunk bed. Husband/boyfriend/baby daddy goes out to pull up the truck while woman pays at the service desk.

    Woman has two of our loyalty cards. None of them work for some reason. She asks the clerk to enter her telephone number.

    Clerk explains the telephone number probably won't work because it isn't tied to either of her loyalty cards.

    With a little more urgency in her voice, woman asks clerk to input her telephone number.

    Clerk again explains it probably won't work.

    Woman cops a 'tude with clerk, insinuating she must not want to be helpful if she won't use her telephone number to put her loyalty card details into the computer.

    Clearly losing her patience, clerk reiterates the telephone number will not work if it isn't tied to one of her loyalty cards, and offers to go into the computer and tie her number to the card, or even change the telephone number associated with a card.

    Woman snatches her loyalty cards off the counter and returns them to her purse.

    So the next time this woman decides to use her loyalty card in our store, it won't ring up again, and she'll probably demand we enter her telephone number into the register, again to no avail. DUUURRRRRRRRRRR.

    "Stupid is as stupid does".

    I think that quote fits that woman to a T.

      At some point I'd just stop telling what's going to happen, and just enter her phone #. Then, when that doesn't work, we can find another, though probably as successful, method.

        At least they brought a truck to pick up the bed, instead of the tiny little SMART car? Of course, given the description, the car is probably up on blocks anyways.

        I think the lady's proper step should have been, "Umm.. can I get another card?" It's not like cards don't stop working for various reasons, including trying to use them to open the beer cans for the baby-daddy to crush.

        I just had to ask for one because my old one finally fell completely apart. It looked like it had gotten into a fight with a paper shredder and took the shredder with it.
        If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.

          No, it's probably a small or regular sized truck, with oversized monster truck tires, a Confederate flag bumper sticker or decal, and a pair of nuts on the trailer hitch.

                I don't even own a gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I going to do with a gun rack?

                  I think it's a rule that if you're a redneck and own a pickup truck you have to have a gun rack .

                            Anybody who sees your truck (neighbors, people walking/driving down the street casing houses) will think that you have enough guns to necessitate having a rack in your truck. Psychological deterrence.
                            Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end.
