my mom is starting her first really teaching job, so we been scoring stores for the deals and buying up to the limit at different stores. so weve bought about 50 notebooks and god only knows how manu folders

[ArenaBoy]

Back to school, ugh I'm glad I bought all my books before every other student starts running around like headless chickens in the bookstores.

480 cans. I can go through that in an upwards of a week if I try. I know it's not healthy, but frankly, I don't care. I figure I'm here, and I'm gonna have some fun. 480 cans would make a nice pyramid though. *Note to self, buy large amounts of cans while on sale, poison self with sugar, create giant can pyramid*

OT, but please take care of yourself. My boyfriend spent years doing far less than this and is facing a status of pre-diabetic. Don't want to see you sufferin'

[Aldous]

what the hell do you do with 40 cases of soda?! that's 480 cans.

SC: I'm a teacher. I shouldn't have to be subjected to the same policies as regular people.

Me: (*Thinking, "ooohhkkaayy who died and made you queen, forgive us for not rolling out the red carpet you douche") Irregardless maam if I were to make the exception for you, then I'd have to make it for everyone. We would like product left for other customers to take advantage of our great deals.

SC: This is ridiculous! I am a teacher!

Me: Five.

SC: I am a -TEACHER-!

Me: Five.

SC: Look, I am an instructor bettering the future of tomorrow's kids. I am a donating member of society and (here it comes!) I've been shopping here for years! I don't think your supervisor would appreciate it if one of his best customers was treated in such a manner. *Waving finger at me*

Me: ....................Five.

SC: YOU SON OF A MOTHE---okay, look, fine, I'll just buy these, walk out, and come back in.

:

A teacher all right. his/her behavior is hypocritical for being a teacher. I would repeat myself over and over regardless of who they are I must enforce the limit!

YOU SON OF A MOTHE---

How do you know that? I don't have a receipt and I don't have the crayons with me, so ha!

I feel sorry for her students.

God help us all.

[kerrisan]

what the hell do you do with 40 cases of soda?! that's 480 cans. I can guarantee it will be on sale again somewhere before you go through all that!

I have to ask myself the same thing about Gatorade!

*SC comes up to my register with two baskets full of 24 count crayons*

Me: I'm sorry maam but I'm afraid that I am forced to limit your purchase to five boxes of crayons. I'm afraid I will have to put the rest of these back.

*cut cut cut cut cut*

SC: Look, I am an instructor bettering the future of tomorrow's kids.

You're buying crayons lady.
You're buying bleeping crayons.

Unless you teach 867-located kids, you're not "bettering the future of tomorrow's kids" with a freakin' 24 packs of bleeping Crayolas, okay?

Get down from your pedestal, the oxygen is rare up there and the eternal snow is giving you frostbite on the brain holder.

Would you believe some retarded guy actually got 10, then put a coat on, came back, got 10 more, then put an orange hat on, came back, got 10 more? Judas Priest!!!

*Peter* "Oh, free sample!"
*Peter, with a fake mustache* "Don't mind if I do!"
*Peter, in a sombrero* "Esta free sample-o?"
*Peter, in a monocle* "Free samples, my good chap?"
*Sample Lad* "Sir, they're free, you don't need the disguises."
*Peter, from off screen* "Hey, can I get another sample?"
*Peter, mustache* "Yes, me too!"
*Peter, sombrero* "Si!"
*Peter, monocle* "Yes, my good man."

*/something like that*

It's ridiculous that teachers have to buy classroom supplies out of their own pockets. However, her attitude was totally uncalled for.

What she should have done, if she wanted special consideration, would have been to ask a manager ahead of time if she could be given a special deal. If one could be done, then the transaction should have been handled in such a manner that many other customers would not witness, and expect the same consideration.

For example, she could have pre-paid, (especially if items had to be ordered into the store) and then picked up the items at Customer Service.

Well hell, bookstore, it was only $20 for 10 of them. Nowadays a 12 pack of soda pop is nearly $4.

I still don't know who in their right mind would let children drink that much soda pop...but that's just me.

but...where do you put them?...

i hope they recycle, at least...

Or a family came in, mom dad and two little ones. Each one had a cart with 10 cases of pop in it.

as for crayon lady, I can understand her position but come on... i guess it's good she's not requiring all the students to buy a million different supplies, but still...you're not the only teacher in town!

[blas]

We used to have ridiculous deals at Pick-N-Slave.

I mean like 12 packs of Pepsi products for $2 each or something, a limit of 10.

I'd be livid if I walked into a store and they were out because some greedy family or greedy son of a bitch kept coming back and getting more stuff.

[Can I Help Your A$$?]

It's sad that some teachers have to buy their supplies out of their own pockets, though. If the teacher could have actually gotten crayons with her budget, she would have ordered them through the standard supply catalogue. I can imagine, however, that one could deduct those expenses from one's taxes.
