I swear, it must have been a full moon or something on Sunday night. We weren't slammed, but would get rushes of customers every few minutes at random intervals. I was attempting to finish up a transaction with two people, an older man and his even older mother, I was assuming, when 'she' came. I was trying to explain to my current set of customers that I was out of $1 bills, hence the reason why I gave them their change back in quarters instead. The lady finally got this guy to shut up and quit pestering me by saying she would just use them for the coin laundry. I could have hugged her. I hadn't had a chance to ask a sup for the bills yet because I had just run out.
(OMFG you mean it's the same thing?! When will people learn that money spends the same? ><)
Anywho . . .
Me: *trying to explain to this idiot that I don't have two one dollar bills to give him and wishing he would STFU so maybe I could get him some*
Loony: "Excuse me. EXCUSE ME."
Me: >< Yes?
Loony: "Tea."
I finally usher away the dollar bill man and turn back to her.
Me: "I'm sorry ma'am, what did you need help finding?"
L: *smacks herself in the head in a "Oh my god I'm surrounded by morons" manner* Tea.
Me: "What kind of tea?"
L: *seemingly infuriated that I cannot read minds, or that there is more than one kind of tea one may find in a grocery store* "You know. TEA. In. A. Container. That. You. Pour. Out."
Yes, this was accompanied by hand motions and spoken very slowly.
Me: "Oh, that's on the back wall by the dairy case."
L: "The WHERE?"
Me: "Straight back that way, after the milk and eggs."
L: "Ugh, fine. I'm going to go find someone who knows how to tell people how to find things."
Shortly after, a sup comes to tell me that I can go clock out for lunch. I have never left a register so fast in my life. As I was headed towards the time clock, I noticed Loony approaching the service desk, then being watched by our newest sup, and asks her the SAME thing. (OMG how hard is it to find the dairy case?) Sup says she will help the lady find the tea herself in just a moment, as she had just been paged to the office. When she passed me in the hall, I let her know the woman was nuts. I think she wanted to cry; she strikes me so far as the type who doesn't take personal insults well. She goes back to the desk and says she'll walk back to the tea with the lady herself to help her find it.
Sup: "Ma'am, come with me, I'll help you find the tea."
L: *suspicious blink* "Are you talking to me?"
Heaven help me, these people should be on a leash.
