So on a normally very slow weekend day we're usually scheduled with a skeleton crew. You know, just so we can keep the store afloat and deal with the generally small amount of customers coming through. So there are two people working the "restaurant/deli" area of the store and two people working "up front." So of COURSE what has to happen is an ENTIRE GINORMOUS tour bus from Hell...er...a nearby city, has to come in and FLOOD THE STORE WITH OVER 60 PEOPLE.
Instant chaos, destruction, and disorder.
"Is my order done yet?" There are so many orders on the screen we can't even SEE YOUR ORDER YET.
"I'm not with them, is my order done?" CONGRATS, YOU'RE NOT FROM HELL. NO.
"Could you get rid of this? I'm tired of waiting." Well they're still gonna make it since I can't get their attention right now so you might as well wait for it.
"Busy is GOOD, RIIIIGHT?" We don't have the manpower for this, get out of the way.
"THEY DON'T GIIIVE YOU NO RECEIPT IF YOU PAYYYY CAAAASH" Dear lord...just shut the hell up already. Nobody cares.
"These fries are cold." Take your money and get out. Thanks for the fries which are perfectly fine.
Two phone calls.
SC: Do you have to pay cash for a money order?
Me: Yes.
SC: SHIIIIIT. *click*
Me: Have a good day as well ma'am.
SC: Do you cash money orders?
Me: No.
SC: .......*click*
Me: This has been a rewarding conversation brought to you by [company].
Puurrrbrrrrl.
SC: I'd like to get a pack of [something] and here are my numbers for a Powerball ticket.
Me: Okay. *gets cigs, types in ticket numbers, blah blah blah*
SC: *pulls out a card*
Me: Oh, I'm sorry, the lottery is cash only.
SC: What? MAC.
Me:
uhh?
SC: It's a MAC CARD. YOU KNOW??
Me: Our system does not allow anything but cash to be used.
SC: Riiight. The system. It's a MAC CARD. It's NOT CREDIT.
Me: I know.
SC: OTHER stores let me.
Me: Yes I know [company] allows that but these stores do not. There is an ATM in the back.
SC: Well I'm just NOT GETTING IT then. I CAN'T. THIS IS ALL I HAVE.
Me: Okay.
SC: *storms off*
I hope she knows that if she gets the same numbers somewhere else and they hit...she'll inevitably have to share the jackpot with someone...since they would have bought the mistake ticket here. Oh that's enough karma to satisfy me.
