Repeat after me: A PO Box is not an address. A PO Box is not an address.

Seriously, where the hell ARE you?

[BrenDAnn]

Yes, bitch, you're right. My location of C-Store doesn't carry a whole lot. Here's a novel idea for you: Go to the one across town. They carry fucking everything!

Please teach your kids to watch where they're going in the library, especially if they're around staff members who are pushing loaded book carts. They can be hard to move at times, and I can't just move out of the way if some kid randomly decides to dart/run in front of me.

Has that person seriously never had that happen before? Cashiers have to crack open change rolls in front of me probably about once a week.

Normal people aren't bothered by minor things like a cashier cracking open a roll of quarters. SCs just look for reasons to get pissy. Any reason, no matter how insignificant, is a good excuse to go into a tearing rage.

OK, you see me trying to push a line of carts to a spot. Why do you feel the need to ask for one of them instead of walking 4 feet and getting one from a place I'm not working in? I'm sure the look on my face let you know I was annoyed and that's why I'm glad my full-time job is on the phone.

To a man and woman who were shopping at the grocery store - I'm not sure which one of you it was, but thanks for bathing in so much perfume/cologne that the smell lingered after you left that part of the aisle.

First, no, you did NOT ask me if it was past deadline to "get an ad in today." You asked me about TOMORROW and I told you you had until closing today for that.

Second, no, we did NOT ever take ads for the same day! I don't give a shit if you're 65, I've been here 38 YEARS and the FIRST thing we learned when I started all those years ago was that we don't take anything for the same day (except death notices and that is no longer true).

Last, no, the other paper that closed years ago didn't take ads for the same day either! How do I know? THAT WAS A MORNING PAPER, IDJIT! It hit the streets before dawn! Like ours does now!

Flannel shrinks something like 8%?? It's a very loose weave. I'd bet she was careless and didn't pay attention. I never buy less than a quarter yard extra in that stuff.

The vending machine took my money.
Which one?
The one here on the first floor.
Which one? There are two vending machines.

Any other sewers have this problem, where the pattern assumes you have exactly 45" widths? I I have never had this be a problem (usually have a few inches to spare), but admittedly I haven't been sewing as much lately. If this is true I will need to remember to warn people especially when buying the flannel, which is pretty narrow. I already warn them that it shrinks terribly, I wonder if this is the problem the lady had?

Haven't sewn with flannel, but I almost always use 100% cotton fabric, which does shrink a bit. She might not be laying her pattern out according to directions; they rarely go all the way from the fold to the selvages. But it would still be a good idea to buy a little extra, anyway.

No, we don't have a standard senior discount. We don't even have a regular senior day each month like some other stores do. It happens once in a while, not super often. Please don't get perturbed when I tell you this. I told you and then immediately said "but there is a 20% off total purchase coupon that anyone can use!" Oh, I see. You wanted me to just apply this discount without any coupon, because you don't have/don't feel like getting a coupon yourself. Tough luck, I'm not allowed to do this sort of discount sans coupon.

Oh, lady comes in and wants help finding a fabric that she needs more of. She says "I wish your patterns would account for the fact that the fabric is 42" wide and not 45" now I need more!" I said that I've never had any problems with this before, and I have repeatedly made flannel robes with the same sort of fabric she's using. She replies that this happens to her "all the time!"

Did you get a new job? If so, I'm happy for you!

Oh, I'm going to miss this so much.

We're sorry, you cannot exchange an opened xbox because it comes with a free game, even though it isn't the one you want.

No, you cannot exchange that xbox if you open it.

You still can't exchange the xbox if you open it.

Will you just fuck off already? You have asked the same question to the electronics guy and to the service desk twice; the answer is still no. Be gone.

I guess she was mad because the quarters weren't for her? We're not allowed to have unopened rolls. I could've opened the drawer to do that any time, but she didn't know that.
