Couple of stories from today while I was filling and backstocking like a madman because the truck was huge AGAIN....
Ya snooze, ya lose:
Got flagged down by some guy asking me "Where can I find that black make-up to paint under my eyes?"
I took him over to the Halloween section, where we discovered many tacky, stupid and overpriced Halloween costumes and decorative chotchkies, and some make-up and masks and stuff, but we couldn't find the particular kind of black make-up he was looking for.
"Well where am I supposed to get it from? Everyplace in town is out!"
Wow, really dumbass? I mean, today is Halloween after all, and we've had the shit out since about the end of August, so you had plenty of time to come out and buy your black make-up. Shit, you could've stopped by even a week or so ago and found it. But now everybody's rushing in for the Halloween stuff at the last minute and you're too late. I guess you could try the Halloween USA store, you know, those fly-by-night operations that set up shop in whatever vacant storefronts they can find, just for Halloween, but they too might be out. Regardless, I hope you're learning some valuable lessons here about procrastination and time management.
Dear Crotchety Old Skinbag Who Was Hanging Out In The Cart Corral While I Was Trying To Return Some Shopping Carts To The Aforementioned Cart Corral:
No, I don't know why the motorized shopping carts aren't working.
Yes, I see that they are plugged in and apparently charging.
Yes, I know you cannot get them to work.
No, I do not know why they don't work. Does my nametag say "Motorized Shopping Cart Mechanic" on it?
I dunno, maybe some person heavier that the limit for the cart took it for a spin and burned up the motor again. It's happened in the past.
Or it was driven outside and that screwed something up. That's happened too.
Yes, I will make the manager aware of the issue.
I told you once I did not know why the carts weren't working. I told you a second time I didn't know why they weren't working. Is it really going to sink in the third time?
Probably not, but again, I DO NOT know why the motorized shopping carts are not working.
No, I cannot get the mechanic down here right away. I do not know where he lives or who he works for, or what city he works out of. The manager would know that.
No, I cannot pull the mechanic out of my ass, and even if I could I don't think I'd care to do it for your crabby ass.
No, I don't know how you are supposed to do your shopping. I've told you all I can do is tell the manager that the motorized shopping carts aren't working, and let him address it.
Tell you what, if you need a motorized cart to do your shopping with so badly, why don't you head on over to Wally World, who may or may not have a working motorized cart available for you to use, but at least it will get you the hell out of my face?
Humanity. I'm very disappointed in it.
