  • Did that just really happen?

    The weather here has been crappy. Kinda cloudy, kinda rainy, kinda humid. All just enough to be uncomfortable and it's showing in everybody. But there's just been a few the past couple of days that have me asking myself the title question.

    Yesterday I'm doing a passport for a man and told him it would be about 10 minutes, which I usually say so they don't stand there and watch me and wonder why their pictures aren't done in 1.2 seconds. Guy walked around for a bit and I was finishing up his order I saw him come over and stand at the counter. Then I hear this tapping on the counter. Son of a bitch was drumming his fingers on the counter. Not saying a word just drumming his fingers on the counter. I gave him picture and sent him to the line up front to check out.

    Today I'm covering lunch for the front register. I'm down the aisle putting up stock and I hear a whistle. Guy was ready to check out and fucking whistled to get my attention. I rang him up and went as slow as I could. Then I guess he wanted praise for bringing in a shopping cart.

    A few minutes later my coworker comes back from lunch and while she was sitting outside eating a cheese stick some guy tells her "You shouldn't eat that cheese, you're going to get fat." I think it may have been the same I guy I just rang up because I don't think there were any other people around.

    Same coworker had an old guy put his money on the counter and flick it across the counter to her. I knew the guy she was talking about, he has these disgusting fungus fingers and I always feel like I need to wash my hands after ringing him up.

    Should've known how the day was going to be from one of the first customers this morning. I was over cleaning the photo machines and the cashier stepped away to put up some stock from our truck. Usually I'll jump over if it's taking awhile for someone to come up but not if you're rude. I was just getting ready to go ring the woman up when she calls out "Isn't anybody working up here?" said very snotty. I called over to my coworker that there was someone up front.

    And the kicker of the week...one of my other coworkers received a proposition from a creepy customer that I'd rather not get into. But it was pretty just yuck.

    But we like stories like that.

      Today had something similar... Two of us at the cutting counter, but it's slow so we're trying to get some go-backs done. We were checking the counter about every ten seconds between the two of us.

      Suddenly, all the way from the registers I hear a customer loudly ask the cashier "Is there anyone to help at the cutting counter? There's no one there!" In this shocked tone. She must have been one of those ninja customers who pop up, see an empty counter, and RUN to complain. When she came back, both myself and my CW were there, and she didn't make any comment.

        I don't always have a quick answer for junk like this, but in this case I would've cheerfully informed him I lost 30 lbs eating lots of cheese, and lots of other fats. People hate when I say that. It proves them wrong.

          AND in the fact that we (you, me and several others) live in Cheeseheadland or as our car plates say (or used to say anyway) America's Dairyland (even though California does have a larger dairy industry than our state does).

            Today was "OMFG! Tomorrow is <holiday> and I'm not prepared!" It wasn't so bad just a steady stream of orders but people kept coming up seconds after placing their orders and expecting them to be done. Or my other favorite "I only have one picture." And this is my I don't care face. It will be done when it's done. Just need to get through tomorrow before I get my "weekend".
