Lazy, annoying jerks

[Anakah]

These are just some minor complaints, nothing that big.

A man comes up and plops down a hundred dollar bill. I stare at him until he goes:

SC: I want fives.

Me, thinking he wants a hundred dollars worth of fives, begins to count out the fives to him and afterwards he gets this funny look on his face and looks through the fives.

SC: You gave me too many fives.

And storms off.

At first I was thinking OMG I over paid him. Then it occured to me that he didn't specify how MANY fives he wanted. Thus making it HIS fault, not mine. I need to know exact amounts otherwise you get what I want you to have.


Later I had a woman who cashed a check for five hundred dollars. No biggie. Well, she wanted two hundreds, one in fifties, one in twenties and the last in fives.

So, I count all this out to her and she kind of wrinkles her nose and me and demands that I re-count the fives back to her after she picked up her money. She set down the fives and I kind of sighed and counted them back. I was right.

I think as soon as I give them their money it should be their own responsibility to count it to themselves. She was just too lazy to re-count the damn money.


Around 2am this woman comes up to me (note I am a cashier at the cage) and throws her Club card at me in disgust.

SC: It won't work. Why won't it work? Make me a new one.

Me: Um... I have no idea why it wouldn't work. The club card place is closed right now.

SC: Well what are YOU going to do about it?

Me: Well, I can call the pit and have them make you a new one.

SC: Will that take long?

Me: I don't know. It depends how busy she is.

After midnight when the place closes the pit book keeper is the only person who can make cards for the night.

SC: Fine.

I call the Pit and Lydia said she'd be there soon. (Note: Lydia isn't her real name)

It was a bit awkward waiting because the lady was just so pissed off like I broke her card. I began to count money just to advert my attention. Lydia came, grabbed her ID and began making the card.

Afterwards Lydia told her she probably de-magnitized it. The SC was sweet as pie to Lydia but a snot to me. Go figure.

I hate it when they just assume that I can do anything from any department. Grr.

"Your store sells all these items. Why don't YOU know everything about each item, how they go together, and what the local codes are for doing X?! Isn't that your job?" If I knew that much sir/ma'am I wouldn't be working here for minimum wage, now would I?

sigh, this type of SC is way too common. They don't know jack about the store policies and operations but they do know it is your fault they are inconvenienced for a minute fraction of their meaningless little lives. Or why the store can't possibly pay for every worker to be around for their convenience 24/7...You were as helpful as you could possibly be, particularly at 2 in the frippin morning.

Not to sound negative or anything hehe.

If I'm getting 500 bucks in cash, I could watch you count it 5 times, and you can be damn sure I'm still gonna count it myself!

I'm too scared to have that much cash on me at once. When I went to deposit all of my birthday money at the bank, I hid it inside TWO birthday cards and I made a beeline into the grocery store and into the bank inside of it.

When people used to flop money on the counter at me at the gas station, I always used to want to say, "Thanks buddy! What a pal! This should cover this month's insurance on my car..."

Seriously.....don't ever just walk up to a register and flop money onto the counter and stare at the cashier. Ask for change before handing over the dough. We aren't prosititues, we don't need money thrown/flopped at us.
