Screaming woman

[prjkt]

I'm sure the switch out is well announced/known?

Some people are ridiculous. I love it when they get pwned though. I called for a second cashier to help with some queues once. Some woman stood at my queue, had been there mere seconds, and proclaimed loudly "GET ANOTHER CASHIER ON! I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS!' so I told her that another cashier would be down shortly, but she didn't like that answer for some reason and stormed off in a huff JUST as the other cashier came around the corner and onto his till. Thing is, she hadn't even made it to the front door before the other cashier had actually started ringing everyone out, but she was in that much of a huff anyway that she didn't even seem to notice!

I remember that well. It was no fun trying to get the register tills switched out for the new day while impatient jackals are screaming at you.

Basically it's a 10 minute window where the registers change over to the new day. NO checking out is allowed for fear of messing up the registers.

There's a midnight embargo?

Al and I went to Malmart tonight for a few things. Now, naturally, it's midnight, and at the moment only one register is open, the cigarette one, and naturally it being the second of the month, it's jam packed.

As we approach the registers to check out we hear a woman yelling. She's put down her two tiny items, a Coke and something else.

SC: I DON'T HAVE TIME TO WAIT TWENTY MINUTES TO CHECK OUT!

She proceeds down to the CSM stand and yells, we can't hear it.

SC: NOW THEY'RE LOSING A CUSTOMER!

The best part is, not ONE MINUTE later, five more lanes opened and the 10 minute midnight embargo on checking out was lifted.
