Due to a blip in the system, for a few days we've been prompted to ID for 12-packs of soda, but 1 flavor only. I only had to do it twice, and people were nice about it. I guess they'll have a funny story to tell.

MoonCat! Don't you know that rootbeer is a gatewate drink? Rootbeer leads to club soda. Club soda, being in a club of course, leads to NonAlcoholic beer. NA beer leads to light beer..light beer leads to beer..beer leads to rum..rum leads to um something worse!

I used to get this ALL the time at my previous job. We sold non-alcoholic beer (named Birrell Beer) and non-alcoholic wine. We used to end up having to card people for those two products for god knows what reason.The best professors are mad scientists! -Zoom

Root beer. Ginger ale. Birch beer. Ginger beer. All completely non-alcoholic, but with alcoholic names in them. And, to really let the monkey toss in a crescent wrench, while we associate the word "punch" with just a medley of fruit juices, the original punch was a very alcoholic party beverage, which I recently learned from my mixology course.
As for the N/A beer, non-alcoholic beer DOES have alcohol in it. The typical N/A beer is 0.5% ABV by volume, which is 1/8th to 1/10th of a regular beer. You'd have to drink a shitload very quickly to catch any buzz at all. But since it does technically have alcohol, I understand why it may require carding in many places. (I don't know if N/A wine is the same way, as I have never worked in a place that sells it, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were similar.)

Yesterday must've been National Cash Registers Take A Shit day, because the registers at the swamp went down for about an hour and we couldn't process any card or check payments.
Which of course caused the mostly-cashless hordes in line to whine, bitch, piss, moan, shout and abandon their carts of stuff until they could get money out of an ATM someplace, or until we could take cards again.
Calling the help desk, conveniently located in India, would've done no good. They've apparently made a habit of not answering their phones very fast lately, and sitting on musical hold does no good when you've got angry customers in your face.Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Study hard. Be evil.

My register crashed 2 days in a row. What is UP? Also, every year we review the company, and my answer to "I have the necessary tools to do my job effectively" is to score it the lowest possible.Last edited by Food Lady; 04-29-2012, 09:06 PM."Is it hot in here to you?
