    "It's not fair!"

    On the Sunday after my birthday, I was on an express checkout. We were in the process of closing the store (it was about 10 minutes after close). One of the supervisors plus the Groceries manager (who helps out on checkouts occasionally and rocks), the guy next up from him and our STORE manager were hanging around, ready to shoo off any people who tried to get through the express checkout. We managed to do quite a few of these, didn't matter if they had the "Oh I need one thing!" excuse (we also can't sell cigarettes after close, state law)

    I was in the process of taking out my drawer ready to run up to the cash office when all of a sudden, these two idiots walk past.

    I1-Idiot 1.
    I2-Idiot 2.
    M-Your wonderful checkout person.

    I1-Hey, what time do you close?
    M-Uh now.
    I1-Oh, I just need one thing.
    M-Sorry sir, we're closed.
    I2-Oh, but that's not fair.
    M (in my head)-Yes sir, it's not fair that we have lives!
    J (manager)-Sorry guys, we're closed.
    I1-OK then.

    They leave.

    Idiots. WHYYYYY do they not get that when we are closed, we're closed?

      I do not think that word means what you think it means.

        It's not fair to us that you take your sweet ass time for that "one thing" while we're closed because you think we don't have lives. Go to a 24 hour store or get your goods WHILE we're open.

          Gotta wonder how 'fair' they would think it is if 2 minutes before they are scheduled to leave their jobs (assuming they have jobs and are not sponging off of someone else) if their boss where to give them a job to do, and tell them that it must be finished before they leave for the day.

            That wouldn't be fair either. For the exact same reason - "I am inconvenienced". To them, they are the centre of the world. Fairness is entirely defined by how it affects their individual personage, and is never applied to others in any kind of empathetic (empathic?) way.

              I came very close to telling them that there's a servo a good few hundred metres away from us and they are more than welcome to harass-I mean be serviced by-the staff there (who incidentally get a lot more crap than we do because of higher petrol prices, high diesel prices etc.)

                    Damn, I was trying to remember that quote, and apparently merged it and Princess Bride into one...
