Various stories, most from today.
I am so tired of
People telling me, after swiping their card, and the machine sitting at 'Processing', that, "It must be waiting for you!"
No, you dipshit! I did everything I have to do, up to the point I ask for your zip code. My Machine is just damn slow! Get it through your head!
You'll never make it on Last Comic Standing
Had a return/purchase today, which had to be returned as cash, and the lady filled out the part of the receipt she had to. As soon as I started to fill in my part from her old receipt, she started sliding it away from me, and then back toward me, so I couldn't see the numbers I needed to write.
I looked up once, and she stopped for three seconds, then started right back up again. So I looked back up and glared at her, and said, "This is only increasing the wait for you. I'm here until 4 PM."
Her response? "Lighten up, I'm trying to make your day brighter."
Well, you're failing.
A visit from the DM
Ah, yes. Our District Manager came in today, and the SM showed her around, and at one point they stopped by my register to watch me work. No biggie for me.
After I finished with a customer, DM asks me, "So, what are your thoughts on having the scanner over there?"
Note: The store recently moved our scanners away from the registers, to the entire opposite corner of the counter.
I grinned to myself and said, "Truthfully? It makes ringing out customers harder, because I can never tell if I'm actually hitting the bar code, since the item would be facing away from me to be readable."
SM's mind cracked, (I could hear it) and he says, "But, you didn't seem to have any trouble with that last customer."
"No, no I didn't, her items were small, and I can easily guide the barcodes when I can see both sides of the object without having to turn the thing this way and that."Plus, I adapt quickly to new challenges.
