  • Nicknaming the registers...

    One day, I got bored with my coworkers in between customers so we began to nickname the checkouts. This is what they became.

    Felafel
    Fred
    Steve
    Billy Bob
    Bettie
    Veronica
    Archie

    And prior to that, Veronica and Archie were known as Gilligans Island and the Pits Of Hell.

    My manager was amused by it though....

      While I don't have any registers, I have both a cube and an "office".

      The cube is known as Big Brother and the "office" (phone room in the basement of the building) is either the Mushroom Farm or the Pit of Despair.

            If we named our register at work it would be Stupid Thing because mostof the time we are fighting with it saying "stupid thing why won't you work?!"

                  I haven't named the registers yet, but I have named one coupon.

                  It's The Coupon of DOOM®.

                  Every time a cashier scanned it, we'd have to call a supervisor to allow it. It has (supposedly) since been fixed, but we have to enter it in manually.

                      Long ago in a lab I worked in there was an AA instrument, it measured components of sample using a very hot flame.

                      The instrument was ancient and it's automatic settings weren't holding anymore, so ocasionally it would shoot out a huge flame when you were loading a sample.

                      People working with it used a foil sheild to protect themselves like a midievil knight facing a dragon. It's a miracle no one got burned.

                      We dubbed it the AA-ANTICHRIST. This was miserable place to work anyway, one of the old timers said " When I come to work I feel like I've died and gone to hell, and this instrument just confirms it"

                        Isn't it though? I mean, I like Keanu Reeves and all....but, I don't think this version would ever have made it to the Satellite of Love.

                            In the dark ages, they came and asked us to name our servers for the company network. They then stated 'Warner Brothers characters only'.

                            Obviously they were out of the loop, because they tried to challenge me on Yakko, Wakko, and Dot.

                              Years ago, before everybody had computers, there were two that were trundled from desk to desk as needed on rolling carts. One was an elegant wooden jobbie known as the Cocktail Cart. The other was a utilitarian metal affair dubbed the Souvlaki Wagon.
