I enjoy being a prick.

I rang out a guy today. He bought a day planner. It was $16.99 plus tax, for a total of $18.05

Me: $18.05, please.

SC: The sign said $16.99.

Me: It is $16.99, plus tax.

SC: But it said $16.99

Me: Yes sir, but with the sales tax--

SC (with a shit eating grin): Don't worry, I just enjoy messing with you.

Translation: I enjoy being an arrogant pompous prick.

Me (thinking): Fuck off and die.

Hate that with a passion. A fiery, burning, setting customer on fire with a blowtorch burning passion.

Some people think that messing with a cashier is knee-slapping funny & when don't see the cashier reacting in the way they want then they get pissed off. Almost as if they think a cashier is there for their personal amusement.

That's when you slowly consider ideas of pwnage. Or if they continue that, ask them where they work and tell them that you'll be there....

[Aethian]

I've asked that before...was fun when I showed up and gave her the attitude right back. Left me alone after that...

Oh great, even more graduates from the Bob Saget Institute of Not So Funny Dingdongs....

Seeing as I've dealt with many a customer who fails at the concept of sales tax, I'd probably ask the guy "Are you sure?"

Here's a for that SC!

What happens to me is we get people from another state who don't pay sales tax there and forget that we charge it here. I get two different reactions to it. Those who honestly had forgotten and when told about it will pay it with out a fuss. And then those who state well I'm from such and such a state and not a resident here so I shouldn't have to pay it and will argue about it until they realize that they won't win several minutes later.

yup we at the pizza place get those "WHAT???? I have to pay sales tax on delivery/carryout/dine-in????? WHY WHY WHY AND I HAVE to pay a delivery charge (which the driver does not see any of)?????"

sorry delivery pizza is not covered in the food stamp program and YES A LOT of items get assessed sales tax (even moreso in my immediate area because of the GB Packers and the "special" tax to pay for various upgrades to the stadium)

Wait until the Value-Added Tax the politicians want to push through to pay for various things gets pushed through. Then we'll hear a lot more complaining about tax, boy howdy.

Then they pull the "You don't have a sense of humor" bull.


No, sir, your joke just wasn't funny.

My sense of humor is simply fine-tuned.

[Thud-n-Blunder]

Then they pull the "You don't have a sense of humor" bull.

I was taught that this is one of the first defenses bullies use when they're caught, especially emotional bullies. They trot out lame excuses like:

• What's the matter, can't you take a joke?
• How could I know you'd be so sensitive?
• I was just having a little fun...

I dislike bullying on principle. I get particularly angry when it gets used on me.

D'ACCORD!

You mean Dane Cook. Ones from Bob's school would have more swearing. A lot more.

If you so desire, we can just make that a "fill in the blank with your least favorite comedian" ditty.

Although I hardly remember a Bob Saget movie where he played a guy who would fuck chicks, then they'd find Mr. Right immediately after, lol.
