  • F-bomb Friday

    I think from now on, I will never again respond to call boxes. Then I wouldn't have to deal with people like this...thing and her husband, both of them looking like they came from the same family pole, asking me if we had a certain kind of Tide pods. And then hollering "What the f*ck kind of f*cking store is this?!" when I told them we didn't have the Tide pods they were looking for.

    As I walk away, I encounter a co-worker. I say 'Another satisfied customer!" He laughs. I laugh. They probably heard me. I don't care.

    Nonetheless, they find some stuff to buy and joined the rapidly-growing check-out lines, apparently still bitching about the damn Tide pods. The cashier in their chosen lane tells them the next cashier over has nobody in his line, so they could move over if they didn't want to wait.

    "What, you don't want to f*cking check us out?!" the woman bellows as everybody around turns to stare at them. The woman who was right in front of them tells her "That's not what she said at all. She just said you could go to the other line if you didn't want to wait."

    They decide to move to the other checkout lane. They produce a coupon good for $10 off a $25 purchase, but only have 24 bucks and change worth of stuff; their total must be $25 before tax. They cuss, they scream, they swear, and then leave the line to pick out some more stuff.

    Finally they are ready to check out and are now waiting in a third cashier's line. They decide they're sick of waiting, demand to cut in line, and are told they can't. So they trow yet another fit and leave without buying anything.

    Ah yeah, welcome to the wide, wild world of rural Wisconsin home-schooling.

    Sounds like my neighbors aka "Where the hell do they get the money?" (one part time job between them--I think we know where the money actually comes from). Princess Bitchface throws f-bombs constantly. I bet it was her toddler's first word (or second, right after "NO!")
    When you start at zero, everything's progress.

      What a productive shopping trip for them. Shop for stuff, swear at a bunch of people, leave empty handed. I guess they needed new people to swear at.

        If the toddler was using proper grammar, the first word would be "f***" as in "f*** no." But judging from the intellect, or lack thereof, of the parents, the toddlers first word was more likely "no" as in "no f***."

                My guess is that the lil' munchkin simply had no f***s to give.

                  You know, a reasonable person would have just grabbed a quick snack item to nudge themselves over the $25 minimum.

                    True, but I suspect being reasonable isn't something that occurred to either of them. Or if it did, it was too much effort and much simpler to leave without what they wanted and blame everyone else for their behavior.

                      I was just thinking this. All the stores I know of, that I go to, have candies or mints or gum or cheap things right at the register for impulse buys. Just grab a few of those and you don't even have to leave the line!

                      It's so I can get ideas out of my head, I decided to put it in a blog in case people are bored or are curious as to the (many) things in progress.

                        I'll channel what SCs have said to me in the past when we have $ off minimum purchase coupons:

                        This is such a scam! I'm forced to buy more than I want to buy or I can't use the coupon!

                        I just want to be like, "it's not a scam, it's a marketing tactic. Of course the store wants you to buy more stuff, that's kinda the reason the store exists in the first place. If you think corporate writes these coupons solely out of the goodness of their hearts then I will look up the nearest mental institution on my phone. Good day."
