(this is my first new thread, so please be kind)
I currently work at an "office superstore" so I have more than my share of total idiots, but today took the cake.
My store, like many others, has the obligitory loyalty card which we must ask for with every transaction. I don't mind because it does give the customer some good deals and most of the time people are okay with it even if they don't have or want one. Not this guy.
Me: totally overworked yet cheerful employee
SC: man who really needs to take his meds more often.
Me: (while I'm ringing up his order) Sir, do you have your Rewards
card with you today?
SC: No, and I'm not interested. (said in a totally snotty voice)
Me: Okay, your total is $xx.xx (I don't care if you use a card or not, I
just ask)
SC: You mean the "Track and Trace Card"
Me: Excuse me?
SC: So your okay with giving away all of your freedoms?
Me: I've never really looked at it that way.
SC: Yeah, you're just giving away all of your freedoms and you are
alright with that.
Me: Sir, that sounds a little paranoid.
SC: The founding fathers would be rolling over in their graves if they
could see whats happening with this country.
Me: (at this point I just want this asshat to leave before I have to
slap him upside the head) Sir, we are all intitled to our opinions.
SC: Oh, so you are okay with giving up all of your freedoms, people
like you are whats wrong with this country.
At this point, he finally takes the receipt that I've been trying to hand him and leaves. Later when I told my manager what I had said, because I could see him complaining about me calling him paranoid, I found out that he had thrown a fit because he was asked to give a phone # when he dropped off a copy center order. That was against his 5th amendment rights. (since thats the one about self incrimination I'm not sure how that applies, but what do I know)
Of course now that I am everything wrong with America, next is the WORLD!!!!
