  • Is this too hard for you?

    This guy made me angry. Okay, sometimes it's hard to find everything on foreign credit cards and their ID's. Sometimes I have to search a bit for the info I need but like five seconds, not an hour so it's not like I made the guy wait.

    I was checking the expiration date on this dude's credit card, now it was from Canada and their credit card's are a bit backwards to me. But the MM said 12 and the YY said 07. So to me it looked like it expired in 2007 but the ATM took it so I was confused.

    ME: Is this july 2012 for the expiration date?

    SC: Yes. It's reversed.

    Me: Oh I see. *laughs a little at myself* Sorry sometimes different places confuse me a bit. (I was trying to joke with him a bit he no likey)

    SC: Is it that hard for you? Should I just cancel this whole transaction right now? Or are you competent enough to finish this?

    Me: I stared at this guy for a few mins not trusting myself to say anything. I have been here SIX years, so NO it's not too hard, asshole!!! That's what I wanted to say.
    .... what I really said: No sir, I have everything under control.

    I wanted to punch is face in but alas all I could do was smile and act like he wasn't the world's biggest asshole.


    ~~

    This lady was outta her mind.

    SC: I hate (enter casino name here)!!

    Me: oh... But alteast you're at yours not theirs right now

    I didn't know what to say to that.

    SC: Well, things WOULD be easier if YOUR damned casino had buses that came there so I wouldn't have to be there. They have a real captive audience!

    Yeah, she said that. She was angry that we didn't send her a freaking bus to get her from a competitor. Yeah, they used too BUT times are tough, they're to fucking cheap to hire help what makes you think a bus will be on their top priority list?

    SC: You better tell your higher ups that they are doing a horrible job at keeping customers!!!

    Yeah.. I will get right on that.


    ~~~

    Oh yeah this other lady surprised me so much she got the truth

    I was helping this one SC--I was trying to tell her she used up her credit line and would have to wait until her checks cleared while I was in the back my face betrayed me and apparently I had a "nasty" look on my face when I returned to help SC.

    SC: What was that nasty look you just gave me?

    Me: Actually I was looking at the line growing...

    Meaning: get out of my fucking window bitch! ha

    but I did tell her about the line growing. maybe I did make a face I don't even know... It's hard to stay in mode all the time. Sometimes real emotions cross my face. Oh well.

    Canada guy was a complete jerk. It's normal to need to a bit more time when it's something you're not used to. All my credit cards are MM/YY and seeing it as something other than that would be backwards to me, LOL.

    I liked your response for the third story XD.

      Ugh, the credit card guy is one of my least favourite types of people. Confirming what the answer is when there's something unusual is what you're meant to do. If you just went ahead and then made a mistake it would be a lot more hassle then asking first. Grr...

        I'm betting that wasn't a nasty look ... just her attempt to try to put you on the defensive for the fact that she couldn't get more money right NOW.

          Ugh, the first guy makes me want to punch something and I wasn't even there. Reminds me of one time when I had just gotten a new cell phone and hadn't bothered to change the display out of military time, and a guy walked up to me in the library and asked me what time it was. I pulled my phone at it and stared at it, I was midway through the mental calculation to convert 20:00 (or something) when he snapped at me that he shouldn't have asked a stupid person.

            Wow. I'd still be punching him in the face to this day...

              Wow ... regarding Canadian jerkface, may I apologize on behalf of my fellow countryidiots. I have trouble with those stupid numerical dates as well (until you get something obvious like 20/7, LOL). What a shame you couldn't say, "Yeah, I guess I am too stupid; go find another cashier!"

                  That's when you show him your phone and say, "Okay asshole, it's 20:00 hours. Figure that shit out on your own."

                    I'd expect a Canadian card to follow US dating conventions... I wonder why they use Japanese dating order on that one?

                      Why would Canada use U.S. standards? Last I checked, they were a country

                      If they (=Canada) follow ISO 8601, technically the U.S. date is backwards :P

                      In short, ISO 8601 standard is that you write first the largest temporal term (YYYY), then the next-largest (MM) and lastly the smallest (DD).

                      This ends up looking like 2012-4-27.

                      Compared to the U.S. dating of e.g. 4/27/2012, I find the ISO one more logical...but there's even the way my country does it, which is basically the ISO-standard backwards, like so: 27.4.2012

                      It's all fine and dandy when you have a date that can't be anything else but one thing...but how about 2012-5-3 ? :P

                      Sorry about the rant, I'm all pro-ISO-standardisation...especially when it's about dates.

                        I apparently did something like that once with some of my friends -- One of them literally stopped halfway thru a "yo mama" joke aimed in my direction (I'm defensive that way), as I had apparently, unconsciously, adopted a look that he read as "I will feed you to a rabid wolverine if you finish that sentence"

                          DDMMYYYY is normal 'round my parts, but I've been trying to "make myself" use the internation standard..because I don't have anything better to do :P

                          I've never had one of those moments where I've let my emotions flash on my face...I've got a poker-face. Except when I'm playing poker, my dad can beat me any time of the day. :P
