  • THE STUPID IT BURNS MAKE IT STOP!! (Micro-rant)

    It hath been a very sucktastic couple of days lately. Adding to which, anxiety over a number of personal issues DOES NOT HELP and makes me a VERY CRANKY HUNTER.

    Dear (not) Crapstomers,

    Keep this shit up and I swear to whatever gods exist that I'm going to hire Jester and sic his brand of Key West Justice on your asses. It's been said before and it needs to be beaten into your fucking skulls with a tire iron until you finally get a clue: IF YOU ARE BUYING ALCOHOL/TOBACCO PRODUCTS OF ANY KIND BRING YOUR FUCKING GODDAMNED ID BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK UNDER A CERTAIN AGE YOU WILL GET CARDED. NO EXCEPTIONS. I'm not about to get my ass in a sling because you were too fucking stupid/lazy to bring your damned ID into the fucking store. (You would be STUNNED at how many people do this.) No, I don't give a fuck that you're 'local.' No, I don't give a fuck that you parked alllllllll the way out in the back of the parking lot and now have to walk alllllllll the way back to your car to fetch said ID. Tough shit. GET YOUR ID. Or go without your precious. Either way, GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE. I hate you. HATE.

    Crapstomers paying by card of any kind (credit, debit, EBT, etc.): No, I am not double-charging you because I'm a big meanie stinkyface who wants to bleed you dry. I'm a big meanie stinkyface who wants to shove that card down your throat every time you nitpick the price of the crap you bought. Believe me, if I could double-charge you, it would be for being a PAIN IN THE ASS. And there ain't enough money in your account to cover that charge.

    Crapstomers using the automatic machines: GET A GODDAMNED CLUE YOU MORONS, that when the machine bleeps at you/temporarily freezes up for moving the bags prematurely, STOP TRYING TO MOVE THE GODDAMNED BAGS!! And don't whine to me about it either. Yes, it is a complete and total pain in the ass. Yes, I would alter the machine so that it doesn't do that shit; I'm just as sick of hearing those tones as you are, and I HAVE to listen to them all damned day. However, I unfortunately don't make the rules and that's something you'll have to take up with management. Good luck with that, because despite their kissing crapstomer ass, I seriously doubt they'll change that particular policy just for you special snowflakes.



    AAAAARRGGGHHHHH. I now understand why some people drink. Buzzed blissful oblivion makes the stupid go away...!

    Don't hold back, Amythest. Tell us what you really think.

    Seriously, though: hugs and cookies all around.

        Last time I bought alcohol, I did the same thing I do every time I buy alcohol: have my drivers license in my hand as I'm buying the stuff.

        Sometimes I get carded, sometimes I don't. At least I'm not a moron who gets all uppity when asked to prove he's as old as he claims he is.

          Srsly, Irv. When I go through a checkout line to buy alcohol, there are three cards in hand: Loyalty/discount/club card if applicable, ID, and debit card. BEFORE getting to the cashier.

          Having been a grocery store cashier, I feel your pain, AH. I'm just sorry you're dealing with the idiots. :hugs and chocolate:

            What I don't get is how people get to wherever *without* their ID.

            Whenever I go somewhere, I have my wallet with me. And that has ID in it. Not a difficult concept.

              Seriously, people need those things for driving and other such things. I haven't been carded in a while, but then again I don't normally buy anything that I need to be carded for.

              I, too, always have my wallet with me, which also has my ID in it.
              Eh, one day I'll have something useful here. Until then, have a cookie or two.

                  Don't answer that.

                      ^ This. Though of course I know some people are 'just passengers' and don't need ID, you would figure at least ONE person would have ID, and they would know enough to send that ONE person to buy whatever? Unless I pull a STS moment, I never go anywhere without my billfold (and thus ID).

                        Oh I love the ones that "don't have their ID on them" and yet they're driving. Amazing. It's tempting to call the cops on them, if I thought the lazy cops around the town I work in would care. Here's a hint, people: Get pissy with the clerk you're trying to pay for your stuff with, and you won't get your stuff. Tough cookies! You have my sympathy, Amethyst, you really do!
