Nor'easter nastiness

[Crow The Robot]

All right, as those of you who live in the Mid-Atlantic/NE know we have had a heck of a nor'easter, Sunday, and into Monday and we are still feeling the effects today. I am collecting carts the best I can, considering they are being blown around by extremely gusty minds, and I am getting pelted with heavvy rain. I am clearing a row of carts when a woman in a Black SUV rolls down her window.
her: <snaps ffingers at me>Boy, I need to park theree move your cart machine.
me: Ma'am?
her: Move your machine now, you stupid b-st-rd, or I will have you fired.
<I did move it at this point, but I wanted to move it right into her damn car.>

A woman decided to buy a 35 inch tv. She pulls up in a small 4 door pick-up. We can't fit it in the back seats and she goes off.
her: YOU ARE SUCH FUC-KING IDIOTS I NEED THIS IN MY BACK SEAT> IT CAN"T GET WET, IF IT DOES I"LL GET YOU BOTH FIRED!!!! YOU IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!
We eventually put it in her truck bed but she was not happy about this at all.

Now I am bringing in carts and prople are pissy because they're wet,<wet during a rainstorm, incredible, huh> One kid, yelled "THIS CART IS WET!!! THIS CART IS WET!!!! THIS CART IS WET!!!!!, THIS CART IS WET!!!!" And this continues for five minutes.
Then we get these two old biddies. "They should have people drying carts. They should have dry carts. Their stockmen are lazy if they weren't lazy there would be dry carts. I need a dry cart. Why aren't there more dry carts. This cart doesn't run good. They need better stockmen. We need dry carts"

Ah, the joys of customer service.

The wind blew in the bitches, huh?
You are a better person than I, because I would have snapped.

The first woman would have got the 'I may not be of genius intelligence, but please do not bring my parentage into this' line, followed by me leaving the machine there while I went and got a drink. If this isn't do-able, then I'd have got out of her way... just veeerrryy slowly. And probably have invented a problem with the cart that made it harder to move.

I wouldn't have moved the cart machine for that first lady. I would have said "Go ahead and get me fired, because if they would fire me over you, they're not worth working for anyway."

I would have moved the cart machine for her, but I would have smashed it into the front end of her piece of shit polluter

if your manager was a decent person, after her first treating you like a monkey, then insulting you, that it would be time to get him or her, tell that person what happened, then refuse to finish the job.

that and having you out in a potentially dangerous situation (if it can blow carts around, i'm thinking there are other things going airborne as well that could injure you) was unacceptable. this *c* needs a bitch slap or fifty upside her empty head.

as for the tv, if you're stupid enough to make an electronics purchase of that size in a storm, then you can't be too surprised if things get wet...rain, water-OH NOES! *she's a total moron...gaahh!*

carts wet from the rain; imagine that... looks like the nasa team was visiting your store, crowe.

Not to sound ignorant or anything, but.. what's a cart machine?

It's a little thing with wheels that can be used to easily move a ton of carts without having to physically push them all by hand. The carts are stacked on to the maching and then moved at will. They usually have a little siren thing on top.

Back in my day, we didn't have these fancy 'cart machines'. We pushed them by hand, 20 to 30 at a time, uphill into the store!
