Of Banshee's and Bluetooth (kinda long, some language)

[Red_Dazes]

Hey you... Yes you. Talking on your little blue tooth head set VERY loudly while in my line.... We all hate you. And we don't care what "donny" has to say, or what you...in turn...have to say to him.

So enjoy the multitude of questions I am going to berate you with when you reach the register, they are all pertinent to your purchase... though could go unasked, But for you today... I think I'll make an exception.
...he was pissed...by the by... I wouldn't shut up and let him talk. hehehe.


And you ladies... I had two of you today. I am sorry you threw your receipts out, I really am. We do tell you that you need those to return things.... We aren't just talking out of our asses. Because... you see, those items you purchased are over 2 months old... I know, I remember when we got them in. Which means, with out the receipt I can only give you their current sales price back.

Meaning.... Pretty Designer Suit- Previously $33.99.... currently $0.49. '
Sailboat decor -previously $8.99 each....currently $0.99

Yes it sucks, but with out risking my job (which I will not do) there is nothing I can do for you... and my manager will tell you the same... but you can definitely speak with her.

... I did feel bad for the lady with the suit... It was something she purchased but never got to wear... and Sat they had a death in the family so she wanted to return it and get a "funeral appropriate" shirt. Still nothing I could do though.


AND YOU!!!!TURTLESOUPWHOREBAG!!!!!! Bitching and moaning to me about how you just cant read the pin-pad screen cause it is just SOOOOOO fucked up. And then you let your little.............darlings............. fucking hit it with their toys, jab it with the stylus, press their icky little sticky fingers all over it. Yeah. Shut the fuck up. I hope the lot of you fall off a cliff.

And do NOT get mad at me when I tell your little angel not to play with my hard tags. *OMG HOW DARE YOU* Yeah well sod off lady. If your parenting is lacking enough to allow your kid to stick his hand into a bucket of POINTY METAL OBJECTS, then I sure as hell am gonna step in before he rams one through his palm and then we have to give you money. Keep your kid away from my shit and we'll all get along.


...and to the parents who gave birth to the Banshee... thank you... I can no longer hear out of my right ear. I have never heard a child make a noise like that. What's more she made it when you were holding her literally half a foot from my FACE! You obviously knew how awful that screech was... I saw you and your husband flinch.... but was I offered an apology for making my ears bleed? Nope.... Muzzle it next time you come in.




*sighs* That last one wasn't really sucky... just painful...

That happens all day to me. If the little brat keeps pushing all of the buttons over and over and over and over again it can make the register freeze up and I have to shut it down and restart it. Yesterday a lady was letting her little brat jab the heck out of it and because of that the register would not validate her check. I asked her to stop her son from doing that because I can't finish her transaction. She rolled her eyes and said her son playing with the machine is not messing up my register.

I've had the banshee in the ear before. It never mattered where I was or who I was working for, my response was always the same...JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!
and I would grab my ear and take a few steps. I made sure the parent(s) heard me and knew my displeasure. And for any parents that were offended by my language, I didn't care since they didn't give a damn about the offense to MY ears.

[chainedbarista]

actually, it is sucky; they put the kid close enough to hurt your hearing intentionally/unintentionally, it still shows a lack of foresight and courtesy on their part.

everyone else is also pure suck.

[Andara Bledin]

Muzzle it next time you come in.

How about, since both of them were there, next time one of them can stay home with the kid!

Why the hell do people have to make a trip to the store a family excursion?

^-.-^

We need to have a bootcamp for idiots...seriously.

[Skeksin]

We need to have a bootcamp for idiots...seriously.

Most of them would die in the camp. Don't ask me how I just know it would happen.

[Red_Dazes]

...its cause they cant SURVIVE being told NO.... it hurts them physically... and god... after a week in boot camp.... I shudder to think of the loss of life...

'
...wait... no i dont...

[Imogene]

Yeah well sod off lady

"Ma'am, would you let Junior stick his hand in a bucket of pushpins?"
"Not at home."
"Then don't let him do it here, either."

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Most of them would die in the camp. Don't ask me how I just know it would happen.

And what a shame that would be, right?

[Android Kaeli]

I refuse to tell kids not to play around when I'm working and they are in my line of sight. I got yelled at by a parent the last time I tried to tell a kid not to play on something in case said kid got hurt and won't ever do it again, even if Boss Man says to.

As for the no-recipient ladies, I know how that feels -- I get a bunch of people that don't like the fact that we charge a restocking fee for no receipts. Hey, keep your receipts with you and that wouldn't happen.

[jjllbb]

right on!!!! i LOVE rants. sometimes you just gotta vent.

I'm not into fostering future generations of entitlement whores. My wrath can be just as bad as any parent. I certainly won't put up with a parent yelling at me if said parent is not going to correct his/her kids for doing something that shouldn't be done in the first place. Both can leave as far as I am concerned. I just tell them how it's going to be, and if they don't want to be respectful of common sense, I tell them where the door can be found. If they want to complain, that's their problem. One thing that will set me off is someone just letting their kids shriek like a banshee because they're not getting their way, then not taking said kid out of the store. That parent will be asked to leave if the kid doesn't get over it quickly.

[Hobbs]

omg, each of your stories brings back my ptsd...I have to work tomorrow, too TT.TT

[Calud]

Heh, when I stand in line and am on the phone I switch to a different language. Works perfect 100% of the time.
