    I'm Crazy, Didja All Hear That?

    Okay so this was long enough ago that I know this guy isn't going to put in a complaint about it. I have another one from today but I don't know how to explain it without giving away where I work. I'll brood on it because for sure he was the doucheking.

    This guy was like doucheking's kid brother but with less brains.

    Okay so he wanted to prepay a pump. He did it with debit. He then proceeded to wait too long to pump it. The store fills with other customers. He is somehow already irritated for some reason.

    SC: Hey could you just turn my pump on?
    Me: It has reset itself, I'll have to run it through again.
    SC: NO. YOU DIDN'T SET IT UP.
    Me: Sir, you paid for it.
    SC: Just turn it on.
    Me: It has to refund back on your card before I can put it back on the pump, I can't just reset it.
    SC: JUST DO IT.
    Me: It doesn't work that way. Can I see your card?
    SC: *throws card at me*
    Me: *refunds* Would you like me to try to put it on the pump again?
    SC: NO. I JUST WANT MY FUCKING CARD.
    Me: *hands card back* Have a good day sir.

    Pause. Anybody notice that there's nothing set up for a prepay at the pump?

    SC: *storms back in* WHY ISN'T IT WOOOOORKING?!?!?!?!
    Everyone in the Store: *stares*
    SC: *starts pacing back and forth inbetween customers waiting in line while huffing in rage* WHAT THE FUUUUCK?! YOU NEVER SET IT UUUUUUUUUUUP!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!! (no kidding this guy actually started screaming)
    Me: SIR. YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN.

    The entire store goes silent and I almost started laughing but managed to keep a straight face through some kind of providence.

    Me: The pump does NOT work that way. It resets after a ten minute limit. You waited too long to pump. When I put your card through the second time it was to refund the balance back into your account.
    SC: *stomps out while muttering* That fucking bitch is crazy.

    There were a few mutterings in the crowd of people and I caught a few:

    "Is he driving?"
    "Haha, she's crazy."
    "What a douchebag."
    "She told him."

      He's not crazy. His mother had him tested.

          Alternate joke:

          He's not crazy. The voices in his head told him so.

            This guy wasn't firing on all cylinders, methinks...Also, the fact that he came IN "upset" suggests that he had no intention of acting rationally nor listening to you, anyway.

            Why did he wait so long, anyway? If I use a card at the pump, I go ahead and pup the gas right away...Maybe I'm paranoid and don't want anyone else to get gas on my card ~_~ then again, It's not paranoia if I'm right.

              I always immediately pump my gas...wonder what took him more than the ten minute limit to bother to start filling his car?

                Doesn't surprise me, one of the biggest pet peeves I have is people who pull up to gas pumps, with visible lines forming, and decide instead to clean out their car, make a few phonecalls, unpack their luggage, go inside and wait in line for coffee and a sandwich, read the paper, anything really, EXCEPT PUMP GAS AND GET OUT OF THE WAY!

                Me?

                Upset?

                A tad perhaps.............

                  I don't understand people who have to do a whole bunch of unnecessary shit like that before they do the thing they claim they're going to do next. I work with someone who has to file things, talk to co-workers, clean off her desk and for all I know balance her checkbook, right before she goes on break--after announcing that she's taking her break but before actually doing so. Which makes me late for my break. Every day. I bet she does all that messing around at the gas pump, too.

                    Ah. This reminds me of something that happened on the retail plantation a few years ago. As to not derail your thread, I'll start my own.

                    At any rate, I have no respect whatsoever for jackasses like this. I hope you were able to get his face on camera and have his ass banned from the store. Behavior like this is totally uncalled for.
