Gads we had the winners tonight.
Stupid #1
An Asian-looking woman came up to my register. I only mention the Asian part, because she and her son were speaking what appeared to be Chinese. She hands me a coupon for $4 off Clairol hair color. Okay, some customers give me their coupons before I ring them up, fine. I ring up all her items - there is no hair color in the bunch, so I had the coupon back to her. She gets irate "NO! FOUR DOLLAR!!!" I explained that she needed to actually buy the hair color to get $4 off. She doesn't understand - has to get son to translate.
Stupid #2
A young woman, maybe 18 or so, goes up to the photo kiosk, sits down, and stares at it for awhile. I ask her if she needs help. She does ..... "Does it cost to get photos here?"
:Me thinking: Um no, we have the photo kiosk set up to give everyone in town photos.:
I said "yes". She says okay and orders her photos and leaves. Fast forward an hour and she comes back. "Are my photos ready?" Well, I've been busy, I remember her face, but not her name. I say "What name are they under?" She says XXX whatever. I look, nothing under that name, so I tell her that. She gets snotty - "Well I'm YYY's daughter!!!!!!!!!!" Lo and behold, there are her photos under YYY name.
Stupid #3
A woman comes up to photo and asks how much are pictures. I explain that it depends on the size and number of photos she wants.
Her: "Well I want to do a thing."
Me: ..............
Her: "You know, a thing, with pictures."
Me: .............
Her: "I want a thing with lots of pictures on the page. You know!"
Me: "A collage?"
Her: "YES!!!:
Me: "Okay what size?"
Her: "A thing!"
I walk her over to where the photo frames are and tell her to show me what size she wants. She vacillates .... "well, I like this frame, but not this one".
Me: "Ma'am, we're not picking out a frame, I just need you to show me what size picture you would want."
Her: "Oh!!!!"
And from there we proceed normally.
Stupid #4 And the WORST one of the night!
I was my turn to clean the bathrooms. Oh joy.
I gather my supplies, put up the requisite "Wet Floor" signs and venture into the men's room. Now, the men's room has ONE toilet and one urinal. I don't notice any odd smell as I walk in but Oh My Lord!!!!!!
The toilet is COMPLETELY stopped up with poo .... as in almost overflowing. I flush once, well that ain't happening. I need a plunger. I plunged and plunged and plunged ..... for at least 5 minutes. Gagging the whole time, tears running down my face. I have to tell you, not much bothers me - I've raised kids and pets and all that comes with that, but this! This was too much!
Remember how I said I didn't notice any odd smell? That means that the smell had already dissipated. How long had this **it been there???? It had to have been a while, and yet NO ONE told anybody about the problem in the men's room. I know there were guys using it .... sheesh!
And how was your day???
