[thehippie777]

so...strange... (front desk worker)

Me: Front Desk
SC: Hi, have you been busy?
Me: hehe yes... I sure has been down here.
SC: Oh so are you busy now, is there anyone infront of you?
Me: Nope, what can I do for you?
SC: Well...see I was checking into my flight online with Northwest, and it said my flight didn't exist and I was getting paniced...
Me: Okay...
SC: And well, I was putting in my confirmation code (she gave me code...which was dumn but she said that it said "..KO..")
Me: Okay...
SC: So I called Northwest and they told me I was putting my code in wrong, and it wasn't KO it was K0. As in zero, not the letter.
Me: Okay.... (what is your inquiry already!?)
SC: Well, I just wanted to tell someone. Ya know, just wanted to talk.
Me: Oh! (and I make a joke and say something like you just wanted someone to talk to, I gotcha!"

Well, at least she was nice enough to check if she'd be holding anyone else up first. Non SC, go her!

We get those at the bookstore a lot. The other day I spent 20 minutes on the phone with a woman who wanted to talk about Ann-Margret.

There isn't really enough to say about Ann-Margret that would take up a whole 20 minutes, so she kept repeating to me several times one particular story about Ann-Margret. Usually I don't mind talking to people like that (they're lonely, and hey, I'm getting paid) but I had 5 customers pile up at the Help Desk so finally I transferred her back to Music to see if we had any Ann-Margret CDs. I didn't know how else to politely get rid of her.

yeah, there is this old man who comes into the resturant almost every day, always sits alone. He usually stays a while after his meal, chatting with whichever worker happens to be passing his table. It's kinda sad, especially since he is so darn nice, not a thread of suck in him.

yeah, this reminds me of some of the regulars we had when I worked at Longs... we had a small slot machine area, and there was always about 3 or 4 people who would come in every day, buy a beer and play penny slots so they'd have an excuse to talk to the slot attendant, me, and any other cashier who happened to be there... and occassionaly each other... I honestly believe they truly had nowhere else to go.
