Breaking brains...one customer at a time

[LadyAndreca]

When I took this job, I didn't expect to like it as much as I have. I mean, cashier at a major retail store, who would've thought that'd be fun? But it's turned out to be one of the most relaxed places I've ever worked, my coworkers know what the heck they're doing, and even the surly ones I don't like at least do their jobs.

And I get to be a smart aleck and banter with the customers all I want, as long as I do it with a smile.

Episode the first
SC: *coming up to pay* I see you're staying true to your kind.
Me: *startled because I'm as white/blonde/blue-eyed as they come* Excuse me?
SC: Women. Always taking your money.
Me: Sir, if I wanted your money I'd be in a job where I get to KEEP it.
SC:

I don't think he was expecting a comeback.

Episode the second
7:30 AM on a Saturday morning
Me: How are you this morning, sir?
Man: Fine, except for having to work so early on a Saturday.
Me: *sympathetic* I hear you.
Man:
Me: *gestures around at the register* Well, I'm at work too.

I broke his brain. He stuttered a lot and couldn't manage to say anything else the rest of the transaction. My coworkers couldn't figure out why I was so pleased with myself.

Episode the third
My name is Carrie. I tend to have a lot of fun with this...especially since, as I mentioned above, I have long blonde hair.
Man: Your name's Carrie? You know, they made a movie about you.
Me: Oh, don't worry, that was just a high school phase.
Man:
Me: The gym thing. But, like I said, I haven't done it since high school.
Man:

They never expect me to play along...

Hey Lady A, glad to hear you're liking the job. Still in school or did you graduate already?

[fireheart]

I think I love you

Hey Lady A, glad to hear you're liking the job. Still in school or did you graduate already?

Still in school. Cut back to part-time for money reasons...if all goes well, I'll graduate winter '10. If the classes I need aren't offered when I need them, or if ANOTHER class I should have tested out of becomes mandatory, it'll be spring '11 at the latest. Only 11 years after I graduated high school (with a 3-year hiatus in there).

It may be kicking, screaming, limping, or crawling, but I'm gonna finish, dang it!!
