Major Psychotic Fucking Hatreds

SC: Workin' hard or hardly workin? Hyukhyukhyuk!

ME: *pointed look; I despise this question beyond any other*

which leads to...

SC: Smile! It's not that bad!

Don't tell me to fucking smile. No, it wasn't that bad, until you walked in.

Ooh, the Comedian. Can't stand them. They have a repertoire of about ten or twelve jokes, all of which suck, all of which you've heard far too many times before. And of course, it's all your fault if you don't laugh uproariously at their oh-so-clever jokes, you "must not have a sense of humor". I really want to tell the Comedian, "you need a new writer," but then he'd get butthurt and complain to the higher-ups...

"Sorry you have to work today!" -- when said on a 'holiday.'

FUCK YOU AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON. If you were really "sorry," you wouldn't be out shopping on a holiday, because if people weren't shopping on those days, then the businesses wouldn't open, and the workers could have the day off too!

Precisely. I never shop on holidays for that very reason. The company I work for is probably one of the last companies not open on Easter, Thanksgiving or Christmas and I hope they stay that way.

More from self-scam:

--People who scan an item, then fling it frisbee-style so that it misses the sensors on the front belt. Don't yell at me when I have to come over, rescan the item and set it on the belt correctly.

--Keying in the PLU for one (cheap) produce item, and placing a (usually much more expensive) different item on the belt. Yes, I saw that. Do you really think the machine announcing "BANANAS" is going to override the fact that the item on the belt is vine tomatoes?

--Paying with a check when check payment is not an option. Just....why?

People coming in looking for bargains/freebies (I work in a dry cleaners so we don't sell things). The recent cold weather has meant a lot of people have been in lately looking for cheap or free coats and blankets. We've always gotten the odd person in looking for abandoned designer clothes, and I don't mind them asking because they usually take no for an answer. But these people I've been getting recently invariably come up with some sob story when I tell them no, as if that will yield a different result. I know fuel prices have gone up lately, and I don't care if your dog had puppies or you have lots of kids. We do not, never have, and probably never will hand out old stock to the general public. Everything we get rid of goes to a local registered charity shop, and if you're really that desperate I'll gladly give you directions.

People who knew we threw out donuts/popcorn at the gas station an hour or so before close, and would come in and beg for it for free.

People who ask me " what is a rhetorical question?" and they actually stand and wait for my answer??

Maybe cause they don't know what rhetorical question means?

The personal GPS tick is the one that drives me absolutely nuts. Look for it yourself, don't interrupt me when I'm checking out customers, especially when there is an inventory person ( who doesn't really do her job that well, yet somehow gets promoted) scanning shit right behind you!
