Embarrasing customers that's my job
Not sure of this qualifies as a brain burp, but:
The Pill Ninja
I had a customer come in asking about pills. I walk her over to the pills and we talk about which is better for what she's looking for. I leave her there and go back to dusting the shoe racks which is by the front entrance (she's near cash wrap on other side of store).
10-20 mintues later I hear something that I didn't quite register immediately. I was feeling lightheaded and had a headache so was sticking to small stuff. Someone was talking behind me.
Me: "Gaaah!"
C: "So this is the one that's your best? I didn't mean to sneak up on you. You must be concentrating really hard."
Me: Yes, that's our best.
Basically she walked all the way across the store, past another associate to get me to ring her up. 1 item, $7.99 before tax.
Dude, Seriously?
I'm ringing out a customer, who I'll refer to as dumb dude (DD). I no longer recall his purchase but here's what happened.
DD: How old do you have to be to work here?
Me: 18. (Without missing a beat, since I have a 'babyface') I'm 21.
DD: Oh, really? I thought you were 14.
Me: Nope, 21.
DD: You should take that as a compliment.
Me: (no, not really) ...
The reason I say dude, seriously is because I work in a porn store! Where you cannot under any circumstances be under 18 to be in there, now why would a 14 year old be working there? On top of this you have to be like 16 to even find work in most retail jobs.
