Stop saying this

[BrenDAnn]

My latest aggravation, from an asshole on my shift Friday night:

"Uh...Are you having fun?"

Oh, yes, thanks. My back and hips hurt, I've had lines of people all night, I'm tired, I'm behind on my nightly chores, but yes, I'm having a blast. Now please kindly go f*ck yourself.

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.

Someone said that line to me today. I wasn't really paying attention, because it was a large bag of mulch and I was trying to turn it over to get at the only bar code on the packaging. The couple exchanged glances and started going, "She isn't laughing!" "Could it be that we aren't original?" "Has she possibly heard that one before?" "Maybe someone else used it today?" I DID start laughing by the time they were done with THAT.

Amen on the "You look bored" one. I get that a lot at my job and it's very annoying.

[XCashier]

Another one I often get (especailly when it's busy and stressful) is, "Why aren't you smiling!?"

Yeah, and I usually get that one right after the previous customer verbally tore me a new one.

[Mouse]

"oh, you changed policy because your going out of business right?" or some variation of that

just frack you man, that is just an asshole thing to say to someone.

I am freakishly chipper at work and this is the fastest way to make me nearly as bitchy as manager k

Here's what I'd like to add from the fabulous pharmacy...

When I tell them it will be about 20 minutes if they wait...
"20 minutes? Geez, how long does it take to dump some bills into a bottle?"

When I can't get something to scan...
"Oh good, it's free today!"

When I'm the only one working the pick-up area and there's a long line...
"This is ridiculous! You need to get more help!" (Really now! Do you honestly think I like it when I'm facing a long line of cranky people all alone?)

And the one I hate the most...

When customers are waiting in the store, we give them a pager that buzzes when the prescription is ready. Before handing the customer the pager, we activate it with their prescription number. About 30 seconds later, it buzzes once to confirm that it is activated. I cannot stand it when, after that activation buzz, the customers says, "Wow, its done already." I don't find that funny after hearing it 57 times every day.

A lot of the places I go that use those hold on to them until after they do the confirmation buzz and then hand them over. Probably to avoid the idiots who pull that crap.

"You look bored."
J2K: "I always look bored. Even when I'm busy, I look bored."

"You look lonely."
J2K: "I'm not lonely, I have the voices in my head to keep me company. Always guaranteed semi-intelligent conversation too."
"Only semi-intelligent?"
J2K: "Well, everyone's got that voice that tells them to do stupid things..."

Bonus-- I have actually said these things to customers.
