  • Return of the weirdos (long)

    This past week has seen the return of several customers that I hoped had moved to a different store or state or universe...but no They're back. While non of them did anything sucky this past week I just know something's coming.


    Weirdo 1


    Cashier: Okay ma'am that's (total).
    SC: I'm going to write a check. (writes check, hands it to cashier)
    Cashier: Okay. And I need to see your ID.
    SC: Why?
    Cashier: It's store policy ma'am.
    SC: I've shopped here for years and never had to show my ID before.

    The cashier looks to me, the bagger, for help since she's 16, this is her first week and she's being yelled at for following the rules.

    Me: Ma'am she needs to see your ID, we've had a run of bad and stolen checks lately so we need to check ID on all checks.
    SC: I'M NOT USING A STOLEN CHECK!
    Me: That's good but we still need to see some ID.
    SC: FINE! (throws her drivers liscense at the cashier, I'm mentally willing the cashier to just get this bitch check out so we can all move on with our lives.)
    Cashier: Um..Danjo...the name on the Driver's Liscene doesn't match the check.
    ME: (internally) DAMN DAMN DAMN!

    SC: It's my mother's check. I"M SHOPPING FOR MY MOTHER!
    Me: Well I'm sorry ma'am we can't take a check if the person whose name is on the check isn't here.
    SC: I DO IT ALL THE TIME!
    ME: I'm sorry but unless you have power of attorney over your mother's account we can't take it.
    SC: She's racist! (pointing to the cashier.)

    Now, the cashier is black the SC is white. Even if it was true...which is wasn't...it's best to not call black people racist.

    Cashier: I....
    ME: (Not wanting to be in the middle of a race related incident.) Ma'am do you have a debit card or atm card from your mother's account.
    SC: NO GODDAMNIT!
    ME: Could you right a check from your account and jus thav eyour mother pay you back?
    SC: NOOO! YOU'RE RACIST! (pointing at me now...the whitest human being alive.)
    ME: (to cashier) Call the manager over...

    Shortening this up a bit. After being told the same thing by 3 office personel, the CSM, the assistant manager, and finally the store manager, she leaves goes to the bank and gets some money.

    The kicker in all this. She's tried to do this on several occasions and normally just throws a fit until she gets her way. She just tried to do it to the wrong manager that day.


    Weirdo 2:

    This customer comes up to me one day, grabs me by the arm, and without warning says. "I bet you don't remember a time before ball point pens."

    Then leaves.

    'Kaaaaaaay...

    I wonder what it's like to be someone like that. The second guy, that is.
    Excuse me, good sir paladin, can you direct me to your EVIL district?

      If a person really is racist you should call them racist no matter what color they are. I'm sick of all the PC crap and double standards in this world dealing with race. It's ok for a black person to do something bad because they're black, but if a white person does the same exact thing they are labeld racist. Everyone is forgetting the goal of Martin L. King Jr. which was equality for all races not just black.

        Let that stand for ANY minority, creed, colour, religion etc.
        We all eat, drink & poo so what makes any of us better than anyone else?
        Nothing, as far as I can see, apart from your words & actions - i.e. if you act sucky, that lowers you in my eyes with regard to someone who doesn't.

        (Does anyone remember the story on here where the Jewish ladies in a bookstore acted sucky & then told a pack of lies to management? This is a case in point)

          Geez that first lady was filled with unholy amounts of suck. That second guy...wow, talk about odd...

          As to the topic of race, can we please stick to the topic of sucky customers, and not about when, where, or to whom it is acceptable to call someone a racist? Thanks.

            Let me rephrase.



            It's best not to call black people racist if your a fan of peace and quiet. I'm fully aware that people of all skin colors can be racist.

                And on that note...any further discussion of that point belongs on fratching.

                Please get back to the subject of sucky customers, as Spiffy has just requested.

                Too tired of living and too tired to end it. What a conundrum.

                  I totally agree. I've thrown in my 2 cents. Back to the SCs.

                      IIRC, ball point pens were invented in 1813. So I doubt he remembers such a time either...

                        That second guy is made of win well, apart from the arm grabbing... I know in some countries any unwarranted bodily contact can be counted as assault, so he needs to watch out for that one

                              The first patent for a ballpoint pen was actually in the late 1800s. However, they didn't gain wide usage until the mid 1940s. So, unless you were alive for WWII, then you're pretty much guaranteed to not be able to remember a time before ballpoint pens.
