Alright, so as most of you know, I started working at one of the biggest pharmacies in the US a few weeks ago. I work third shift, and love it, since I'm a night owl anyway, and this gives me time to do things during the day. Great! All's gone well, no sucky customers... UNTIL:
Saturday night I start my shift, same as always, at 10:30pm... The problem with saturdays at my store, is that at midnight, all the old sales are over, and the new sales start, so between the time I come in and midnight, people are coming in with their coupons, normally no more than one or two coupons at a time... Like a normal person right? Right?
Wellllll, at about 11:30pm, this woman comes to my register, her cart loaded with stuff... I start scanning, only for her to show me a hand full of coupons... Oh gods...
Well, I was trained to do the coupons at the end, so that's what I told her I'd do... When I finished scanning her stuff, she asked me "Did those pads come up....." (Don't remember exact details of conversation). I pull up the receipt and tell her no... So she goes to see what the price was... By now, my line has backed up really really far, and my manager has opened the other register to help me out..
Well, to make this short, the lady came back, as I was finishing with her (I kid you not) TWENTY manufacturer's coupons, and at LEAST TEN [insert my store's name here] coupons.... *twitch* several of which did not work, because she hadn't gotten the right brand names.... She tells me the price of the pads, I try to fix it, computer goes wonky, I give her her total, she debates it (as she's been debating the coupons not working), she pays, and leaves...... about twenty minutes later, she comes back and complains to manager, who straightens things out for her (I have no idea what actually took place in their conversation).....
That was the same night I had my first "Can I get a pack of..." "Can I see your ID?" "I don't have it on me, but my DOB is..." "I'm sorry sir, the law prohibits me from selling tobacco products without a valid ID..." "I swear I'm....!" "I'm sorry sir, I'm not allowed..." (Enter coworker stage right) "Whats up" "He doesn't have his ID" (coworker) "NO" SC gets catbutt face and walks out......
