Lemme guess, gas station in the south with bright green shirts, known for its coffee and card? I work there and 3/4 of my voids are that shit + someone flinging a fit over the fine print signs....

Nope, in the midwest, claiming to be famous for pizza, and we wear red--well, the managers wear red. We peons wear black with red trim. I refer to it as C-Store because the name of it also starts with C, besides it being an actual convenience store.

Here's a little information about closing time. When we close, that means that all parts of the petrol station are closed, including the kiosk. No, I will not let you in to buy cigarettes. There's no point in frantically pointing outside the window to the cigarette kiosk, miming smoking, and waving at the door. Yes, the cigarette kiosk is unlocked, but I am just about to lock it cuz, guess what, we're closed. There's at least three stores I know of where you can buy the smokes you're so desperate for, but you're not buying them here. Goodbye!

Yes, I realize we have multiple U-boats full of fabric on the sales floor, and this is blocking merchandise. You have no idea that we have an ongoing problem with our SM not scheduling people to stock. Still, repeatedly RAMMING the U-boat into shelves in a sad attempt to move it, is stupid and childish. It moves front and back, not side to side.

Every single day. Did I call your number? NO? Then do NOT bring your fabric up and place it on my counter. Wait until I call your number. I may need that counter, and not for you! I might have to roll fabric back on the bolt, or roll up a remnant. The point is, I didn't call a number, you are not being helpful by coming up before I have called you. You are being annoying.

Sir, I realize you are a Very Important Officer, and that your visit paperwork is present and correct, but your e4's paperwork is not. I don't know how she alone got missed, of all of the 15ish people you brought in for this Very Important Brief, but that's not my job to know, as visitors must submit their own paperwork. My security officer (who is a civilian!) even went beyond the call and called your command's security, but even that did not fix it. After watching me issue 10 visitor badges and wandering in and out again to check on your wayward duck, why do you think she's going to be entering said secure area? I've told you she can't.

No sir, going in with you is still going in. You're not an escort. I have no proof she's cleared. No sir, she can't go in. I don't know what she's gonna do while you're at the brief but she can't come in and she can't hang around my quarterdeck, this isn't a lounge so she'll have to go somewhere. But not here. And not inside, even if it IS with you, sir.

Ma'am, you seemed to take pleasure in breaking your $100 bill this morning. Well, you know what? Fuck you. You're lucky I didn't give you all ones as change. You didn't seem to give one shit about it, either. Bitch.

Look, you grumpy ass old coot, stop pounding your damn cane on the floor. Just because I don't know where the place you're looking for is, doesn't give you the right to get all pissy with me. Thanks for snatching the phone book out of my hand, and not asking politely. Incidentally, I think you got the address confused when you were looking for it. Sorry I couldn't help-- stop it with your damn cane already! Sheesh!

me- No, sir, we stopped taking breakfast orders 5 minutes ago.
SC- But it's not 10 o'clock yet! You should still be cooking breakfast!
me- I'm sorry, sir, we've already started cooking lunch.
(repeat ad nauseam)
SC- This is ridiculous blargle argle manager blargle!
me- (very patiently) Would you like me to ask the manager, who is cooking, to make a breakfast just for you?
SC- Yes! (He's happy; he thinks I'm gonna get chewed out)
Me, turning around - Hey, Joy, feel like cooking another breakfast?
Joy - F*CK NO!!!
(Me, smugly) I'm sorry, sir, if you want to eat, you'll have to order lunch.

Best Boss I ever had.

Look, you twit, whatever is wrong with the website is not my fault and it's not something I can fix. In fact, since you're a rude jackass, I wouldn't tell you how to fix it even I knew! Oh, you're going to cancel your subscription, all because of a FREE ad you couldn't place? Well, be my guest (transfers to circulation dept.)

Table 8 is not an acceptable answer to "Good morning. Welcome aboard."

[Lace Neil Singer]

Please do NOT carry your store card in your mouth! I will refuse to touch said card if you do and you will have to swipe the damn thing yourself.

Oh, good, it's the end of the month. Everyone's broke. That means that everyone is paying with change! Honestly, people, if we take anymore loose change in, we'll never get rid of it. Stop that shit! Take it to a bank or something!

Maybe you've never been to a museum before in your life, sir, but they generally do not allow flash photography ever. Yes, I know it's dim in here. Yes, your photos will probably also be dim. No, we didn't think we'd need a "No Flash Photography" sign on every single artifact in the museum, we thought telling you that at the ticket counter, listing it on the map, and having signs at the gallery entrances would be sufficient. It's not like you're gonna read the sign anyway.

Maybe it's just me, but if I placed an ad in the newspaper and then my phone died, I would call the paper and ask to change the phone number in my ad, instead of waiting for the underpaid and stressed-out sales rep to call me about a renewal and then whining about it.

Look, it's your money so you need to tell me how to distribute it. If I have to make assumptions I will check each one with you, and the correct time to challenge is when I ask for confirmation, NOT when I've started serving the person who was third behind you in the queue!

So sorry to have sent you to Walmart to do your child's back-to-school shopping because we didn't have her school's supply list for the year.

This is because they never sent it. We don't even have a master copy.

But this is what happens when you try to do all your back-to-school shopping 5 days before school starts. All we can tell you is to call the school for the supply list, but there may or may not be anybody there to take your call.
