  • Thanks for annoying me...

    ok. Yesterday a woman comes to the lottery machine, there's two guys who come up to the register. I tell the woman "One moment"and begin helping the men. First guy gets some gas via prepay. Second guy gets a pack of marlboro's. Pays with a $5 bill, get's his $0.15 change. I go help the woman.

    This guy stars SLAMMING his cigarettes on the counter... I figure he's just packing them. TOns of people do this on thier hands. This guy just keeps doing it as I'm trying to hear this woman tell me her lottery numbers.

    I finally turn to him and say (paraphrasing) "Pardon me sir, I'm really having a hard time hearing this woman with you doing that. Could you please stop"

    I turn back and he starts slamming them again and leaves.

    He comes in 10 minutes later and asks for my name. More than likely he called corporate (which would be the wrong corporate cause we're a licesenee of 2 different names for our store) to complain at a clerk who was just doing his job.

    And if he was trying to get my attention... he was barking up the wrong tree.

      I think you could be right about that, EQ. This might be a little since you just reminded me of this. Back when I was in middle school, there was this kid in my class who was like a brunette Dudley Dursley. There was a wooded area right by our school's softball field and not far from it was the Texaco gas station. The kid would always go there to buy an Airhead. He did this trick where it would balloon up and act like the cashier sold him a bad one and get the new one for free.

        Honestly I think he was waiting for me to give him a pack of matches.

        Which my store doesn't do for liability reasons.

              Anytime I bought cigarettes (I don't anymore! No smoking for little Evil Queens!) no one ever offered me matches. I didn't think it was a normal thing to offer, so I don't blame you for not doing so.

                According to my boss

                Our company sees free matches as a liability.

                Some nut job comes into our store. Get's a pack of matches and torches a building, the police/fire department finds the match book with our logo on teh package. We get sued cause we furnished the tools for the arson.

                Given how messed up this legal system is in this country... I see why they do it.

                  Also, matches in a gas station ? With the hordes of dumbasses at large, I wouldn't take the risk.

                          I literally had to cover my mouth with both hands to keep from bursting out loud (can't be noisy in the business office.....).
