Shut. Up.
Okay, I look young. I know I do. I'm twenty years old and people still get smart about how I look but this guy just got on my nerves really bad because he didn't sound like he was joking at all.
Me: Good morning!
SC: Are you even old enough to work here?
Me: Yes, I am.
SC: Are you sure? Because you look awful young.
Me: I'm fairly certain, sir.
SC: You look twelve.
Me: Well I'm twenty.
SC: TWENTY? No way. But I wouldn't put it past [company] to hire twelve year olds. I don't believe you're twenty.
Me: Would you like to see my driver's license?
SC: ....no....
Funny how they always seem to shut up when I offer that.
Thanks for telling me...again.
Old man: Doing the trash?
Me: I like it, it gives me a work out.
OM: Isn't that a man's job?
Me: If I see one, I'll let him know.
Hooray, New Year Present!
Some dipwad wrote "PA sucks, who's Jimmy?" on our men's room stall door today. 1. If you're going to write something on our stall door, make sure you write something coherent. 2. Please, for the love of all that is holy, please could you make it interesting? 3. Get a damn life and stop being so freakishly childish. Writing on stall doors is for craptastic outdoor bathrooms at shitty little convenience stores. Does my cushy, indoor, beautiful bathroom look like your art board?
Wut???
My coworker, E, was making himself useful yesterday and ringing a lady out. SC asks for a pack of cigarettes and he goes over to get them. When he's bending over, the band of his Fruit of the Looms peeks out over his skinny jeans like always (it's hard to keep that from happening but it's not like he's got baggy pants down to his knees.) He tells her to have a good day like he always does to customers when the place is real busy. He's kinda like a worker on an assembly line, every customer gets the exact same treatment and wording when we're busy.
She leaves the store and walks out to her car before CALLING THE STORE PHONE and telling the other clerk to get a manager to COME OUTSIDE. When our Deli manager comes outside the woman lets her have it over how appalling she thought the band of Eric's undies was and how "disrespectful" she thought he was. Of course, when Deli Manager returns and rips him a new one, E has literally no idea what she's talking about and honestly doesn't remember that customer from the rest of them because he doesn't remember treating her any differently.
Methinks she made the manager go outside so E couldn't defend himself against her stupid allegations. Ten bucks says she was trying to get something for nothing.
Tidbits from the pumps:
These are the things people say after we answer the "Speak to an Attendent" button on the pump with "How may I help you." These are in order of frequency.
1. "It says that I can only get Diesel. I want REG-U-LAAAR."
2. "Can I pump before I pay?"
3. "Why isn't this working?"
4. "How do I get it to start?"
5. "Can you come out here and do this for me?"
6. "The thingy in the thing won't read the thing."
7. "WHY WON'T MY CARD WORK!?"
8. "Gift card?"
9. "GARRRRBAAAAHHHHKKKOOOOPPPGHKEEOOOOPPPKKAAAWWEEEEE !!!"
10. "Hey hon, this is probably stupid but my hands just aren't what they used to be, could you be a sweetheart and pump my gas for me?" (YES I CAN MISTER AWESOME CUSTOMER WHO TIPS.)
COMPLIMENTS
We're 3rd ranked for the most customer complaints and we got a significant compliment yesterday that our manager put on the bulletin board. They said (with PERFECT spelling and grammar) that the employees at our store were full of personality, compassion, and professionalism. They stated they love to come to our store because we're always on our toes about keeping the place tidy and well-run. And it's TRUE. Must have been a regular, I say, because most of the people who complain don't see how hard we work and just want to be knit-picky about their "gas station experience."
