Apparently wigs are interesting...

[darkcrimsongoth]

Hi again!

Well first off seeing as my hair is a greeny teal colour *yes dyed it that way on purpose* My boss lets me wear wigs to work! YAYAYAY! ^ *my boss is awesome*.

So far, my black wig with blue highlights gets way more attention than a plain blonde one. But jeeze, would you ask a complete stranger if that was their real hair? So many people keep asking me. One guy even touched my hair. DO NOT TOUCH MY HAIR!!! I AM NOT MERCHANDISE!

Anyways, I walk into work and am heading to the back to put stuff in my locker etc.

Customer: Hey, hey....HEY!!!! *I'm walking to the back as she's saying this, as I start in a few minutes, she's halfway down the middle of the store.
Me: >:| Yes?
Customer: Do you work here? *no I don't, I'm messing with your head.*
Me: Yes, I'm actually off the cloc-*
Customer: *cutting me off* Oh that's ok, I just wanted to know where the locks are for *suitcases, lugauge etc*
Me: *sighing in my head* They're in hardware. *walks off*
Customer: IS THAT YOUR REAL HAIR!?!?!?!?! *shout it across the store you moron*
Me: No it's a wig *slighlty pissed off at this point*

So that's the start of my day. On to the next person....

JSC: Justic of the Peace customer guy.
Me: me again!
CW: Co worker
BL: Boss Lady

Me: *scans the the guy's stuff until I get to a glass. With no barcode....* Um I'm just going to call CW to find me a code.
Me: *Calls and waits*
CW: Looks at it* that's actually from a pack of glasses we can't sell it.
Me: Sorry sir, we can't sell it.
JSC: It was in the clearance rack. Do you have a manager?
Me: Yeah, I'll call her. *Calls BL over*
BL: Hi what's the matter?
JSC: This was on the clearence rack. You have to sell it if it's on show *or something similar*.
BL: Unfortunately, we do not as a customer could've put it there.
JSC: I'm going to look that up, I'm a Justice of the Peace! Hold that for me.
BL: *to me* Hold it for him.
JSC: Sorry that's nothing personal.
Me: Yup, that's ok. *Gives total and he leaves after paying. *
*IT"S A GLASS.....GO BUY ANOTHER ONE is what I'm thinking...*

BL comes up to me later with some packaging. Surprise.....it's a pack of 3 glasses with 2 in the packaging and the middle one not there. The cardboard has been pulled up so the glass has fallen out.

BL tells me if he comes back to show him the packaging and the price is $4.

^^ Never came back in. BUHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

People who try that "it's in the X rack or Y space and the price says Z even though it makes no sense so you have to sell it to me this way" really chap my ass. Justice of the Peace, wow...is he from an old black and white Western??

[RecoveringKinkoid]

That's a rude question and nobody has to answer rude questions.

It's freaking green. What does she think?

[Pixilated]

"IS THAT YOUR REAL HAIR??"

"NO, I'M WATCHING IT FOR A FRIEND."


As for the touching ... I just do not understand people who feel at liberty to reach out and touch complete strangers, without any warning whatsoever, except in complete emergencies (i.e. you are about to fall into a 25-foot-deep construction pit). You hear complaints about this by the ton from pregnant women -- people wanting to reach out and pat or rub their bellies. Seems to me some people need a good dose of pepper spray, if only as a wake-up call ...

[Mr Hero]

Sorry to hear you had SC's wigging out on you.

Possibly darkcrimsongoth is from the UK or somewhere with similar terminology? A Justice of the Peace is a magistrate, someone who volunteers to hear (the vast majority of) criminal cases.

[Bloodsoul]

You think having people comment about your wig is bad? Try being a natural red-head! *cries*

^^ I'm in Australia, so a Justice of the Peace is some court thingy I think, signs documents like things you need for passports etc. Not sure what they do most of the time.

My blonde wig is really long, I've tied it back to as it'll get in my face, but people seem to think it's ok to ask me IS THAT YOUR REAL HAIR?!?!?!?! OMG!!!!!

I'm tempted to say yes. They won't know. Then they'll feel stupid. XD Generally if they're nice about it I'll say it's a wig. But being a douchebag I'll think I'll respond with yes.

Also had a guy laugh at my hair. How do I know? Saw him walking towards my register and he scoffed, then quickly stopped when I looked at him.

Sounds like what we call a Notary Public. (of which I are one. Maybe two.)

"Is that your real hair?"

"No, it's imaginary."

[Clover]

"IS THAT YOUR REAL HAIR?"

"What? Is what my real hair? OHGOD GETITOFF! GETITOFF!!!" *cue frantic flailing and screeching like a banshee*

But seriously, that guy who touched it-my gosh, personal space much? I would've been ticked.

Aha! Pardon my ignorance of things outside my pitifully small world

I had a guy at Walgreen's years ago who stands out in my memory. Too long ago to remember what the products were but he came up with item A that rang at $70 and he told me he got it from a table that said it was $2. I worked photo register and I didn't have a line so I went out onto the floor with him.

Sure enough there was a table with a sign for product B on it at $2 and about 40 or 50 of product B on the table. Right next to the table was the shelf spot for item A with the tag for $70.

Me: Sorry sir, as you can see this sale sign is for product B and item A is located here and is marked as $70. I can take 10% off if you would like but I can't sell this to you for $2.
SC: F*** YOU! IT WAS ON THIS TABLE AND YOU HAVE TO F***ING SELL IT TO ME FOR $2! IT'S THE LAW!
Me: (laughing) Sir, more than half my job is cleaning up after people who drop products in random locations all over the store. There is no such law.
SC: (grumbles) All right, I'll take the 10%.
Me: Sorry, it's full price now.
SC: F*** THAT! YOU TOLD ME YOU WOULD TAKE 10% OFF!
Me: That was before you started swearing at me.

Cue more swearing. He eventually left without buying anything.

A Justice of the peace is quite common in the US. They hear misdemeanor type cases usually and perform weddings.

[Andara Bledin]

Customer: IS THAT YOUR REAL HAIR!?!?!?!?!

My response to any "Is that your real... " is to touch it, "Yup, real enough," then nod, "And it's mine, so I'd have to say 'yes'." Then walk off and let their brain frazzle.

"NO, I'M WATCHING IT FOR A FRIEND."

This answer is fun, too.

Hm. I bet you could put a layer of petroleum jelly over said belly, and then some sort of contact stimulant like maybe some muscle rub or the like over the top so that anybody who chose to reach out and rub the belly without asking would get a rather icky surprise.
