I thought they called themselves gang-bangers, not hooligans?
Something about 50 kids on the last day of school engaging in a gang brawl in the middle of the mall causing the local cops to call out the SWAT team and to have them rush thru your store in full gear is something I really didn't expect.
The crazy flashlight lady
So i'm shelving some True Crime books when something flashes my eyes. I rub my eyes abit and turn to look at some crazy homeless woman flashing a flashlight at me. I rush over to her and demand her to not flash light into my eyes, which she continues to do, mumbling that the manager of the store should ban phones. LP notices this and chases her around the store trying to detain her while Mall Security is called in to help assist. She is then thrown out of the mall after she bites a security guard.
Don't go into strangers cars!!
Guy: *mumbles about something workplace related* Can I have a ride to (place where none of us live)?
Me: "I don't live there."
Co-Worker: "Ditto."
Guy apparently missed the last bus to wherever he wanted to go and tried to bum a ride offa us because "he used to work at the store where he was going." Okay, no.
It's fine.
If you aren't a dedicated bibliophile, a little know fact is that given the right conditions, paperback books can "curl" that doesn't damage the cover (short of another book smashing it). Alot of "face outs" do this given the right conditions.
So this hippie-esque lady comes to the counter and shows my co-irker a book and wants to order a new book. When he explains that the book is fine and that by putting some pressure from other books on a shelf or just weighting it down will straighten the cover, the lady insists on a new copy. He begrudgingly orders one (even quoting the longest possible transit time to order a book), and then tells me he's hatching a plan to wait a few days, switch the "bad" book in as the ordered copy, and pass it off to the woman.
I tell him it's your fucking ****s at risk, not my ****. And to put the book back onto the shelf.
