  • *sigh* Could you stop leering for just a moment so I can pay you?

    What is it with Mobil stations and sightings? This isn't the same one I usually frequent, but nonetheless.....

    Stopped in for a Fountain Dew. Total was $1.05. I fished out 4 quarters and a dime and tried to hand them to the clerk who was busy staring out the window.....and staring....and staring....and staring some more. The whole time his hand was drifting around and presenting a moving target, which was particularly annoying because I'd just had a strong drink at dinner (no, I wasn't driving). When he finally held his hand still long enough for me to drop the coins into it, he dropped one of them. This seemed to snap him back to reality.

    Clerk: Hey, do you have pennies?

    Me: Uh...yeah....

    I hadn't given him any because I don't like giving people loads of change, and it was bad enough that I'd already given him 5 coins; I didnt' want to give him 9.

    Clerk: Give me some.

    What? No "please?" No "I'll take some because I need them?"

    I counted off 5 pennies and handed them to him, and rather than hand me the dime back, he let me pluck it out of his sweaty paw.

    Gee, thanks.

    Didn't get a "have a nice night" or any other pleasantries either.

    As I walked back out to the car, I discovered that he'd been distracted by the well-endowed woman at the pumps. Dude, I don't care if you like to stare at women outside the window, but could you at least do your job first?

    Not hugely sucky, but annoying.

    But if he did his job he might have missed it.

      You're lucky it didn't finish drifting... in his pants.

              What a dork. At least learn some stealth if you're going to check someone out like that.

              If you're staring that hard that people around you are noticing, you're doing it wrong and you look dumb.

                I'd have told the woman that the dude was staring at her.

                  telling her the sky is blue probably would have been just as shocking to hear.

                    I would have said something. Something like "Hey asshole, you have customers."

                      I have managers like this. They will literally shove a cashier out of the way to take the order of someone with enough boobies.

                        As a short busty person I get into another line if I have time or stare the other person down until the first person comes back. Unless it's something like the first person was going on break or something. I don't care if the person trying to serve me in a manager or not I don't do well with rude people. Nor do I do well with people talking to the twins instead of me. Talk to them all you like, you won't be meeting them.
