Yoyo

Me=
WG= Wannabe Gangster

A guy and his buddy come up to my register with there saggy pants with underwear showing. They appeared to be maybe about 19 or 20.

Me: Hi, how are you today?

WG: YoYoYo, what up chicky

Me: *Struggling to get threw their transaction without laughing and also trying to get over the fact that they called me "chicky"*

WG and his friend leave. A little while later the two come back to the check out line with one of their mother's. I can see the are trying to get her to get her in a new line, but I have no line and the mom goes up to me with them in the background.

Me: Hi, how are you today

WG's Mom: Oh, just fine, how are you?
WG and friend: *In week timid voice* hi

It sounded like they were a little embarrassed having to come back to my line with their mom.


The (Not So) Mini (Not So) Extra Special, Bonus Story

If a customer does not have their signature on the back of their credit card I have to ask for their ID (or if they have SEE ID on the back).

Normally a person will say "thank you for checking"
OR
they will ask why I needed ID, and once explaining it to them they are fine.

So today I ask a lady for her ID, and her comment to me:
"Good Girl"
The way she said it (tone of her voice) made me feel as though I was a dog and that I just did a trick for her.
Although I did feel like a "Good Girl"

[Pixilated]

Did you give WG a slight, conspiratorial grin?

Yes, Yes I did.

[MoonCat]

Oh lord I HATE when people say "good girl!" I am NOT LASSIE!!!

Shoulda "marked" her leg.

You missed out on an excellent snappy comeback...

You could have responded with either ''WOOF'' or ''Do I get a milkbone''

[Captain Trips]

Bugs me, too. My response to "Good Boy?" I just look at them and say, "woof."

[Freak]

If someone said "Good boy" to me, then I would reply by shouting, "I am a man!" and punching them.

Well, okay, I wouldn't, but I can dream, can't I?

[sirwired]

For WG, I would have smiled and looked at him with Mom standing right there, and said something like... "What... no 'YoYoYo Hey Chicky' for me this time? I feel neglected now!"

Of course, you then run the risk that WG won't notice you are trying to embarrass the *bleep!* out of him and take this as a request for advances in the future.

[Beckpatton]

I also bark when someone calls me a good girl.. it's habit now, and I do it without thinking.. thankfully it hasn't landed me in trouble yet!

[AmbrosiaWriter]

I have a coworker who will occasionally say "Good Boy" (I'm a girl) to me in the very tone people use with dogs, meaning "Good Boooooooyyyyyyyyy." He does it very rarely now because I've told him quite bluntly to stop, still bothers me and will get me to go to my boss, because I seriously don't appreciate it.

I do love how the wannabe gansta had to come through with his momma, that's so awesome. It would've been hard for me not to make some sort of, "What? I'm not a chicky anymore?" comment.

[the lawsmeister]

There used to be a lady working at a takeaway place I went to who'd call everyone "good boy" or "good girl" She tended to finish every sentence that way.

How are you good boy? What would you like today good boy? That's 5.95 good boy.

I always figured it was kind of like a verbal twitch or something. It was actually kind of nice and endearing.

wonder if she had a doggy day-care or something so she just got used to it...? I think it would bother me less if it was evident they did it to everyone without thinking.
