This happened a few weeks ago, but since we are still giggling about it, I thought I'd share..
I was working on a Saturday night, when many of the cashiers are teenagers. I'm ringing out a group of 3 middle-aged men, purchasing burger patties, hot dogs, beer, ice, etc. One of the guys was obviously drunk, as in "closing-one-eye to see straight", weaving when he stood still kind of drunk. He turned to my CW, "S", who is about 19, and slurs "Hey- what are YOU doing tonight?"
S: "uh, working...?"
Drunkie: "What you doing AFTER this?"
S: "What??" (with the most disgusted look on her face, I just couldnt help laughing)
D: "Why dontchoo come to the BBQ with us? S'gonna be a good time.."
S: "I dont THINK so!"
Drunkie's friend grabs him by the arm and says "Come on, man. She's probably got school in the morning..."
Drunkie, with attitude: " Wa's the problem? I'm just trying to be sociable. Guess they don't teach you to be sociable around here..."
and away they go, leaving S and I to giggle about it the rest of the night.
The next morning, I'm back at work, of course. S comes on a couple hrs later and I greet her with "Hey, what YOU doing tonight?" LOL
It was really slow, so we kinda huddled at S's register, and start to explain the drunkie creepy guy to our other CW, and S is really getting into telling the tale..."I mean, he was like 40, grubby-looking, sweaty, drunk....trying to be sociable? To a teenager? GROSS, man, go be sociable with someone your own age, ew...etc"
Mid-way through the retelling of the event, I got a customer, and as I'm ringing out his coffee, vitamin water, breakfast sandwiches, etc, I get a good look at him and realize it is THE drunkie creepy guy from the night before! He had his ball-cap pulled down over his eyes, looking rather hung-over and embarrassed; he obviously heard every word S was saying. He paid and walked off without saying a word, and I managed to catch S's eye before he left the store and she saw him and just lost it, squatting down under her register in a fit of giggles.
What were the odds that he would not only come back in the next day, but at the very moment we were talking about him? I should feel bad, I guess, mocking the poor guy, but I've dealt with enough drunken obnoxious slobs that I think hearing what she had to say might have been a good dose of karmic medicine for him...
And really, I've done/said some stupid things while drunk, but never wentbright back the next morning, hoping no one would notice me...lol
