Ahh. Now. I'm good with trivia.... for the most part. But I'm better with numbers than people. I can look at a customer's purchase and give them a total with tax before I finish ringing it up. Can I tell you their name or give a description? Umm. No. This freaks most customers out, which makes being number smart incredibly hilarious.

You should be covered not because you weren't on the clock but because she was rude and self-absorbed. How can one not notice cut-off sweats and crutches and a huge bandage??"Is it hot in here to you? It's very warm, isn't it?"--Nero, probably

Just wanted to say, if she did complain about you, you could respond that she was verbally attacking a disabled person. (I know it's temporary) I mean, that's not much of a stretch, is it? Corporate will always go with the option least likely to get them sued...Replace anger management with stupidity management.

I had the exact same thing (except without the leg) happen to me. I had had major surgery (gallbladder removal, but instead of it being done as a lap, I endured a huge seven inch cut with over forty staples in my side). I was off work, but came in, my husband holding my arm, to get myself some ginger ale to calm an angry stomach. One of our regulars starts bitching about how I'm not behind the counter and I should be and blah blah blah. My husband turns on his heel, spins me around, pulls up my shirt and shows them where the staples and the drain are.
Husband: Are you fucking crazy!? She's got forty staples in her, a drain that's still leaking, and you want her to ring you up some fucking cigarettes because you don't want to wait in line!? Fuck you!
I honestly think he could have handled it a bit better, but it was pretty funny to see someone get squeamish from seeing that.

Wow, that surgery sounds nasty. I hope you healed well from it.I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

I did. I finished my 21st surgery last year, and I'm pleased to say that there doesn't appear to be anything out of the ordinary. I'm missing a few parts (some stomach muscle, a gall bladder etc), some added stuff (two layers of gore tex mesh), and quite the story to tell people. It's not to say that it won't affect me for the rest of my life; I still have nightmares, I'm not as flexible as I used to be, or as strong. But I'm alive.

Quoth Plankton78 View PostMy clusmy self ran into a register counter at work and I accidentally cut myself. I had to have minor surgery on it to remove some metal bits and dirt and fight the infection. It was fine for a while but the past few days, it's been hurting and swelling again. I went back to the doctor and apparently it got infected again. This time, I had major surgery and the doctor found two more pieces of metal deeper in the calf.A lion however, will only devour your corpse, whereas an SC is not sated until they have destroyed your soul.
