Oh, my, what a day. I need lots of alcohol (Mangria and beer) to deal with it.
My day starts out on the wrong foot listening to the radio. I got annoyed with the news. I start yelling at the radio (it deals with politics, so not saying why here). Turn off said radio, and crank Uncle Ted up high to cheer me up. It really helped.
Ok to the main SC suck.
Gas coupon?
I'm in the office dealing with a lottery mess when a raging hosebeast comes in and asks Lazy Ass, in a very rude snotty tone "Do you take competitor gas coupons?" He informs her we do not. She starts raging, and wants to know why. LA asks me, and I told him to tell her that we've NEVER taken other store's gas coupons. She leaves pissed. Sorry hosebeast, I'm not going to cut our minimal margin even further by taking other stations gas coupons. Now if she would have gone next door to the restaurant, ordered $10 worth of food, she would have gotten a 5 cent off per gallon coupon that we do take, which we put out there.
CC Suck.
Idiot bus driver from <Stupid bus company> comes in to fill up on diesel. He swipes his card at the pump, then has problems. His card wasn't working at the pump. We let him fill up then tell him to come in and try his card at the till, which he does, and his card doesn't work inside either. We try again when I get over there, and it won't take, so I have to call the CC company and find out what's wrong. When I call I find out the problem - he was entering the wrong driver code and the CC locked out. When I told him this he was bitching about how he was entering his code. No idiot, that ISN'T your code. CC company told me as much. He calls dispatch and gets the right code, all while bitching about how he entered the right code. Right code is entered and he goes on his way.
It scares me that he's so stupid, and yet he drives kids to school and back.
Other issues -
Tried to settle a lottery game and couldn't find the slip. Call lottery and get the pack settled. A bit later I find the slip - I was looking in the wrong folder.
A shake for a delivery tipped over in the cooler. I had to make a new shake.
Mr. Shits in pants came in. He's a morbidly obese guy who likes to ask us to wash our windows for money. I tell him the same thing as I do every time NO! He got his name because one time 6 years ago, he destroyed our mens room. It took me a half hour to clean it (I popped open a beer after, which was 11 in the morning). He also used to beg for money for a walk a thon.
With all the insanity, it took almost 4 hours to eat my lunch. Kept getting interrupted with insanity.
EDIT -
A repressed memory from today came back to me.
A customer was in the restaurant, and asked about the soups, what they were. We had Chicken Noodle or Hamburger Vegetable. He asked if we still had some Chicken Rice left. That threw me completely off. I answered that we have CN. He AGAIN asks if we have any Chicken Rice left. We haven't had Chicken Rice in weeks.
So that's my day. How was yours?
