    Confused Women and Skeevy Men

    I wasn't taking care of this woman but it was at my work. My CW "Georgia" if people remember her from my other thread, was taking care of her. Confused the heck out of her. You have to have the brand name for this to work...lol.

    SC: I want a pack of USA Gold short 100s.
    G: ...um. What?
    SC: USA...uhhhh...short....Gold....100s.
    G: *walks over to the shelf* Okay, you want USA Golds, do you want reds?
    SC: Golds.
    G: USA Gold Golds?
    SC: No...regulars.
    G: Okay, now do you want the short ones or the long ones?
    SC: 100s...short 100s.
    G: *siiiiiigh* These ones, or these ones?
    SC: Small ones.
    G: Okay.

    You're Skeevy...

    I work at a store that isn't close to my house. The closest one is actually not even a mile from my house, I could probably walk there. I went there the other day to get a snack and there was this really creepy guy who was all smiling weird at me and trying to talk to me about the beef jerkey, just gave me the creeps.

    Well yesterday I went back there and he was again the only register open and this time I'd gotten a cup of pop with all the rest of my stuff which should have registered as some kind of rewards on my card. When I got home, however, I realized I didn't have any more points on my card because HE HADN'T RUNG UP MY DRINK. I didn't even think to check while I was at the store and the prices just changed so for everything else it didn't sound wrong to me, goodness gracious, what a skeevy guy! Like he was trying to hit on me or get me to come back to him to get drinks for free or something.

    Should I be angered or flattered? Because right now I'm just angry, what a nutbag. He's SO CREEPY.

    Seems perfectly straightforward to me.

      Shorts =/= 100s

      Should have clarified. Shorts are short and 100s are longs. They're opposites.

          And USA Gold is the entire brand. So she was being repetitive and contradictory! Yay cigarette buyers. Some of the most confusing orders I ever had as a cashier.

            I'd be ticked off at skeevy guy. I want my points, dangit!

            That's okay. I only got it because I've worked the cigarette lane before, so I know that 100's are the long ones. Sometimes you forget that not all the terminology is apparent to non-smokers and people who don't sell them on a regular basis.

              the 100s in a cigarette name refers to the fact that they're the longest type made by most brands. In Canada, at least, most brands have a regular, a king (which is in between reg & 100) and then you've got 100s, which are longer and thinner.

              And then you've got More cigarettes, which we like to call bitchsticks (super long, skinny and dark brown in colour).

              Sometimes I actually miss smoking and the surrounding culture

                And then, at least in the area where I was working the cigarette aisle, there was one brand (don't recall the name) that only came in 100s and 120s. They labeled them as such because their shortest cigarettes were the same length as the other brands' 100s. Go figure.

                Man, I don't miss the cigarette aisle....

                    Becks smokes, so she knows the difference for regs and 100s.

                    Makes me glad I don't work at the gas station anymore. Now when I work in the deli, I just get a lot of:
                    "I want the turkey that's on special."
                    "Which flavor?"
                    "The one that's on special."
                    Cue me walking around the counter to show the customer that there is, in fact, at least 2 flavors of turkey on sale, and asking again which one.
                    I'm bringing disdain back...with a vengeance.

                    Oh, and your tool box called...you got out again.

                        And back in the late 60's/early 70's Chesterfields(?) had "101's" with a great commercial jingle: "A silly millimeter longer, 101's..." The earworms still throw it up at me once in a while.
