Stop saying this

[Anakah]

These are things I have to hear on a daily basis and I am SICK of hearing. It's NEVER funny so do NOT say it!!!

"You look bored" I am NEVER bored. You just happen to walk up after I finished the zoo of a line and am trying to clean up the mess.

"Your job looks boring" Seriously?? Kiss my ass, man. There's never a dull moment.

"Your job must be easy, just playing with money all day" Never assume a job is easy. I just make it look that way.

"I'll take six twenties" Dude, if I am giving you change for a hundred, it's five twenties and its never funny to throw in an extra number. It just takes one tired cashier to get that number stuck in their head.

The 'you look bored' thing really grinds my gears cuz if the wrong person hears that they may think we're not busy and decide to cut our hours more. Or 'here I'll give you something to do' I never have a free moment! I have to verify all the drawers along with all the money in my drawer while helping all of you. Stop assuming that if I take a breath and have no line while you happen to appear that I am bored.

I've stopped answering when people say stuff like that. I used to say stuff like: Yeah, you just missed the line or I'm just that good. Sorry, I just heard that like twenty times today and needed to let that out.

Also, stop being a jerk and flinging your chips all over the counter. Why oh why do people domino their chips or fling them all over while I prefer it if they leave them in piles up right. Or turning them onto the side?? WHY!? Did I miss the film where someone did this?? Where did this act come from? A lot of people do it.

Sorry I feel better... I had to work my day off and am a little grumbly. They also made it so that my days are split so I don't get any over time... End rant.

That's a pretty good idea. It gives them some quiet time to think about what they've just said, and how moronic it is

Speaking as a potential idiot customer (what can I say, I've been to a casino like twice ever), I can sorta see spreading the chips. It makes it feel like more. Same thing with crisp, new dollar bills. I won't hand you a stack of twenty bills, because an itty bitty stack feels insignificant. Expect me to spread them out or hand them in small groups because then they'll look and feel like more. A small stack of chips means nothing to me, because my newby eyes can't tell in a quick glance how many are there. Doesn't excuse the jerks throwing the chips, though.

I have now been educated and will only play with the chips while in line, I swear.

I don't work in a casino and yet I get all the same idiotic lines. No, I am not bored. I have been trying to get that candy pull put away for the last 2 hours. With no interruptions I could've gotten it done in 1/8 the time. So yeah, you're not funny.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

I used to say "thank." when they said that to me.

Ditto when the said "you look tired." Although for that, I woul say "Thanks. I'm not."

Asses.

[vstorevigilante]

I get the, "you look bored" thing ALL THE TIME, as well, and I know how hard it is to then suppress the urge to knock that person out. Another one I often get (especailly when it's busy and stressful) is, "Why aren't you smiling!?" I bet you get that one too. I'm not smiling because you're an idiot, thanks.

[KabeRinnaul]

"Oh wow, an empty line!"

"You were just waiting for me!"

"Guess I came at the right time!"

"I thought you needed something to do!"

"You looked so lonely!"

Not many things drive me towards homicidal urges, but people who think this nonsense is clever are pretty near the top of the list. Them and people who are gushing with joy to be doing their shopping at 7:30 in the morning, and want me to join in their exuberance.

(This is a long-running problem for me.)

[Ringtail Z28]

Gah! just reading those lines starts to get me angry.

[Angry_Hippie]

I might be a SC, I am Angry_Hippie and I am a sideways chip placer.

At the craps tables I always color up (trade lots of small denomination chips for a smaller amount of larger denomination chips) by mashing the long snake of chips in my rail together (I keep them sorted from high to low denoms while playing) and putting the resulting long row of chips sideways on the table (it always stays together and upright due to the felt of the table and it makes it plainly clear that it isn't a bet). The dealers always seem to have an easy time flipping the chips upright into neat 5 chips stacks to count them out. The only time a dealer has said boo about it was at a break-in low roller joint (didn't even have any chips over $25 in the whole place) and she was shocked how all the chips stayed together when I did the mashed together lift with both hands (tons' of .50, $1, and $5 chips).

At the cage I am a different animal, I stack 5 of each denomination at a time the flat way and then slide in the chips that don't have enough to stack 5.

The comments your customers make SUCK!

[thehippie777]

I hate the wording mostly, "What do you do all night???"

uh...I work dumbshit

[blas]

...yeah, I thought when I moved to manufacturing I'd escape those stupid comments people used to make..."Har har har, you look bored!" "Hyuck hyuck I'm interrupting your break!"

Nope. Still happens. Coworkers do it constantly. Walking past my machine, "Har har, you look excited to be here!" "Hyuck Hyuck, you look really tired!"

No shit Sherlock. Do me a favor and go drown in one of the acid machines.

My favorite is when the manager condescending says "you must be having a nice night", because every time she comes out of the office it's just after a flood of customers and apparently I look unbusy when I'm cleaning off the countertops or straightening what they've strewn up and down the aisles.

"Oh wow, an empty line!"

"You were just waiting for me!"

"Guess I came at the right time!"

"I thought you needed something to do!"

"You looked so lonely!"


(This is a long-running problem for me.)

Ughhh I get those EVERY DAY. It makes me want to go on a murderous rampage. No, I am not lonely or bored and I definitely was not waiting just for you! I also get "Well you guys aren't very busy today!" And this is usually after I have just cleared a huge line and had to call for several backup cashiers. I hate people.

[Anakah]

Angry_Hippie: I don't think you're sucky. I also wonder if its because the counter tops I work with are marble and things slide and slip easily. I bet the material used on the tables would make things stay a whole lot better and probably makes a huge difference. The chips are hard to hold sometimes on the counter but again I think its cuz the surface is like playing air hockey with the chips

I'm thinking of the people who have massive amounts of like five dollar chips (which honestly isn't their fault the tables are kinda iffy on coloring up sometimes) and just knock them down all over the counter. I've had some fly onto the floor and I've been over in my drawer because I find them later thinking I've dropped them.

[fireheart]

I'm surprised people haven't put up the ULTIMATE SC line...

"If it doesn't scan, it must be free!"

No...that makes me want to beat you over the head with your shopping.
