  • Fifty Pairs of Pants

    So...kooky me is at it again in another episode of "The shit you say to customers..."

    I'm out and about running around at 100 miles per hour trying to get everything together and cleaned so my shift goes smoothly when I see on a shelf where they CLEARLY do not belong a hot sandwich still wrapped and a drink. Well. Okay. They're still there when I pass by again so I go and put them back in their respective places. As I'm trying to change the toilet paper in the men's room a very angry-looking old man comes up to me and this is how it goes:

    SC: Did you TAKE my sandwich?
    Me: Which sandwich would that be?
    SC: The one sitting right here.
    Me: Yes I did. I put it back where it belongs.
    SC: I WAS GOING TO EAT THAT.
    Me: *rolls eyes and goes to get sandwich*
    SC: AND MY DRINK?
    Me: I put that back too. *goes and gets drink* If you put stuff down I put it back. That's how this works. That's what I'm paid to do. *runs off again without waiting for his response*


    A man comes up and has me scan his rewards card. Then he shoves it back in his wallet and starts to walk away.

    Me: Um...did you...?
    SC: *very rudely yelling* HANG ON!!!!!
    Me: Hang on my ass. *voids rewards card and starts ringing up other people*

    Mr. HANG ON comes back with several items.

    SC: Let's try this AGAIN. *swipes rewards card* I need MARLBORO menthol BLACCCCKKKKKK OOOOOONNNNNNE HUUUUNNDREEEEDS.
    Me: ....right. Do you need a bag?
    SC: No.
    Me: Do you need matches?
    SC: NO. I'M ALLERGIC TO SULFUR. IT COULD KILL ME. *pays and starts to walk away*
    Me: You know what else could kill you? A baseball bat to the side of your head. Fucker.

    Funny. He was too busy walking away to listen to me. It's interesting what customers hear and don't hear.

    Funny Man: You know it's in your best interest to give me the winning powerball ticket. I'd give you 20 million.
    Me: I could use 20 million.
    FM: You'd crap your pants if I walked in here with that, wouldn't you?
    Me: You bet I would. I'd buy fifty pairs of pants just to crap in every one.

    CW: ...the shit you say to customers...

    A man comes in and he's all pissy about his pump saying "see cashier" which is something that usually pops up if they have insufficient funds or they put in the wrong pin or something else in error with their card. Several people have been coming in telling us that the pump has told them this but there's no error that comes up on the screens inside the store.

    ...get this. It's the message that's programmed to pop up telling the to "see cashier for details" about their freaking rewards card. It's funny because it pops up AFTER YOU CAN ALREADY PUMP GAS.

    Agh. Idiots. Everywhere idiots. If you could just READ.

    Dang. I violated Rule #1 again.

    I love SC logic.

      "Allergic to Sulfur"? Somebody call Area51!!! We have an alien in our midst! Sulfur is a vital element essential to all life. At least here on Earth it is. I cannot speak for strange humanoid lifeforms from the far-off planet of SuckyCustomeria. Maybe "Bring me a manager" is what this strange species states when they mean to say "Take me to your leader", like any proper alien is supposed to request.

      In other news, it will surprise nobody here to ALSO learn that matches have been phosphorus and potassium (as opposed to sulfur) based for about a century.

        Sulfur guy is probably allergic to sulfur based antibiotics and by that logic, allergic to sulfur! He'd hate living in areas like... Hawaii, Iceland and Hot Springs Arkansas, were sulfur is a common thing in the air or in Hot Springs, the water.
        If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.

            Shouldn't he be a bit more concerned about the cigs killing him? I mean at least one or two of their own Marlboro Men were done in by then! :P

                He probably meant sulfa, not sulphur. Not the same thing. I'm allergic to sulfa. Took it once for an ear infection and broke out in the loveliest all-over pattern of little pink welts you ever saw...started at my ankles and with 24 hours were all the way up to my scalp Kind of inconvenient as I was attending a con that weekend...

                And by the way, when I saw your thread title my first thought was "oh, hey, Gravekeeper posted!"
                When you start at zero, everything's progress.

                  Hah! I thought the same thing. GK always has something to do with pants.

                    Same here, LOL.

                    If you were at a S/F convention, you could've explained away the little pink welt pattern at part of your really cool costume ...

                    Gaki, I seriously love your comments. I can't even imagine the results if we tried to use some of them at my place of employment, although to be honest we have very few customers that I'd want to use 'em on ... sometimes I regret that.

                      Or sulfides you find in certain foods...

                      But that's not the real point. This guy is worried about the sulfur in matches but not the tobacco itself? The Tobacco Plant actually starts having problems if the sulfur in the soil is less than a certain percentage. This means that the leaves SUCK IT UP OUT OF THE SOIL AND HE'S SMOKING IT!

                      Meaning that besides all the other ways that cigs will likely kill a person...he has to deal with the fact that he's inhaling a substance that he fears will kill him.

                      What a moron.

                        Sulpher can kill me, too.

                        But then, so can dihydrogen monoxide.

                        1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
                        2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
                        3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
                        4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

                          I only tell you guys the ones where I'm not stunned into silence...but those are getting fewer and fewer as I get older. Suddenly now that I'm not in school anymore I've realized that I can be just as much of a dick to them as they're being to me. Just because I'm young doesn't mean I owe them anything. I'm an adult and I expect to be treated with respect. If they can't dish it out then they sure as hell won't get it from me.

                          As for the humorous stuff: Comes naturally. Fifty pairs of pants. I crack myself up.

                            It is possible to be allergic to certain sulfur compounds.

                            However, in that case, one would not be smoking, as said compounds are found in tobacco.

                              As it would everyone here. Two inches is all it takes.
