  • Catbuttface vs PJs... PJs WIN!

    So, here I am at the corner store, standing (in my froggy PJ pants with a tshirt that says "I used to care but now I take a pill for that") at the only open checkout with my two tubs of ice cream, a large thing of honey, and a carton of SILK... and the woman in front of me hands over a stack of 50+ coupons to the poor cashier.

    Coupons have to be scanned individually.

    I'm not in a hurry, and the guy behind me isn't in a hurry... we kind of chuckle at each other. But the poor frazzled woman behind the register is not having a good day. I look at her and smile sympathetically as the SC starts bitching because it's taking too long to scan the coupons.... "Why is this taking so long?" "Can't you do this any faster?" while the cashier just repeats "Each coupon has to be scanned."

    "Well, can't you just take my word for it?" She looks back at me. "Isn't this taking too long?"

    I just raise my eyebrows and say calmly, "Yes it is, but that's not the fault of the cashier, is it?"

    Catbuttface in response while the cashier bites her lips, probably trying to keep from laughing. Luckily, Coupon-Lady leaves with her $260 worth of groceries and I manage to escape before my ice cream melts completely... and the cashier compliments me on my choice of attire too!

    The shirt reminds me of one of my own moments.
    Got out of oral surgery, where they yanked all 4 wisdom teeth. Went to the pharmacy the next day for my prescription. Gave them my ID and waited quietly, and happened to glance down at my shirt. My randomly chosen shirt for the day, to go to the pharmacy, said, "People like you are the reason people like me need medication."

    I actually felt obligated to apologize for the shirt at that moment.

    But yeah, good old fashioned froggy-pants ownage there. Good job.
    Something kind of sad about the way that things have come to be.
    Desensitized to everything, what became of subtlety?

      She wanted the cashier to take her word that she actually bought all the stuff she had coupons for??

        of course she did; she's the customer and...

        still, i rarely use them because they're generally for things i rarely buy. it still makes me annoyed at the coupon jockeys, though.

          Actually, I think she wanted the cashier to take her word on how much was supposed to be deducted using the coupons rather than scanning the coupons in... the groceries were already scanned.

              REALIZED? Since when do EWs realize anything?

                          Sucky couponers like that give good ones (like me) a bad rep.

                            yes, coupons are a great thing, but only in the hands of competent users.

                            i like the idea of froggy pants, but i'm loving my sockmonkey ones more.
