A canonical list of SCs

[tropicsgoddess]

It's All ISP's Fault: This SC tends to have obvious problems with THEIR computer but when they're told it's their computer, they refuse to believe you and in turn blame the ISP you work for. This kind tends to keep disagreeing with you even though they don't have the technological expertise to solve the problem themselves no matter what you tell them ad-nauseum.

The Penny Pincher - Pays for large orders with small coins and counts them out loud.

The Self-Server - Someone who thinks that they can just walk behind the counter and pour their own coffee or make their own food. Or reach behind the counter to grab a cookie at Subway.

Oops....

People who fold all singles into little shapes and stuff, and try to pay with that, not even trying to unfold it.

The Bikers - The kids who mistook the Wal-Mart superstore for the Tour de France and start riding bikes around the store.

[Bagboy]

Largeth Man- Is about 20 of me put together. Uses his daughters as crutches
Unbuttoned shirt guy-Walks around in the store with a buttoned down shirt that is open with no undershirt, thus exposing his gut to the world.
The beer lady- Needs beer and fast.
Ass Flexer- She is a very large woman. She ran into me, and almost knocked me over. Has a habit of flexing her ass cheeks
The magazine lady-Gets a scooter and just sits there cruising the store for hours.
The large family-enough said
Satans mother-Lets her kid climb, yes climb the shelves. She's been banned.
The corseted one-tells us the wonders of corsets, last time I checked it wasn't 1880, although in my calendar it is 1909.
The jar thrower- throws glass jars and expects us to clean them up.
The soldier- Expects us to be like bootcamp
The royal family-O! do I have problems with them. They have no respect for anything, even the children don't.

I've gotten that one. >.< Sosososo gross.

The Man who mistook the fitting room for a toilet - I don't need to say anymore....

Didn't encounter that one, yet. So far, the discovery of a huge brown lump in one of the store elevators has pretty much sifficed for me.

OMG! Ross shoppers are the same everywhere!!

I've seen every single one!!

[Red_Dazes]

Dont you just hate that!

Not sure if it has been mentioned but I'm gonna throw it out there...

Mr/Mrs. OH Free Babysitter!~ The people who think that just because you are not allowed to leave the vicinity of the fitting room and the toy aisle just happens to be there, that they can leave their little terrors there to run rampant while you watch them.

Too Lazy to Hang This is the customer who has the ever present urge to pull every single item of clothing they look at off the hanger and then toss it over the top of the rack... or...more conveniently... on the floor.

The Inside Outer This is the customer we love and hate. They bring you their items from the fitting room, and they are all hung up. Which is amazing! However... every single item of clothing is inside out.... which is... not so amazing.

However this is extremely preferable to

Too Busy to Care these people bring you their garments inside out and in a giant pile... with out hangers and usually with out the number tag they were given upon entering...

And Last but not least...

Signs are Beneath Me The customer who never reads any of the posted signs, and becomes angry and belligerent when you tell them they are breaking a posted rule... because, of course, if they didn't see the sign it obviously was NOT posted.

------------
I don't make the rules... I just follow them. Because it makes you angry.

RED.

The Right-handed Supremist jokester.

I'm left handed. I'm a notary too. On a daily basis, without fail, I hear one or more of the following witticisms:

*"Oh you're a lefty! I didn't know they let you people be notaries! Ho ho!"

*"Oh a lefty eh? Wheres my ruler! Ho ho!"

*"Oh! A lefty! FREAK! Just kidding, ha ha ha."

*"Oh, a lefty! Say hi to the devil for me!" (or some variant).


Le Sigh.
Fun fact: 44% of all US presidents have been left-handed, including Barack Obama. 33% of world leaders are left handed. Only 10% of the world population is left handed. This percentage is also seen in most species of primates and has stayed consistant since prehistoric times. It is not known was causes left-handedness. Probably Satan, though.

The people who expect you to be Telepathic

I'm pretty sure this was mentioned early on but I'm gonna define them ANYWAY!

These people are very vague about their orders or just word-substitute and expect you to know what it is they want. Sometimes they will also leave out crucial parts of their orders.

"I'll have a footlong on white."

"Alright what kind of sandwich?"

"Footlong"

"...what's in the sandwich?"

"White."

"...What kind of MEAT is in the sandwich?"

"It's a footlong on white."


or when you're at the register, they assume you saw the sandwich being made and think that you can see it. Never mind that there are 5 people working on the line and you have about 20-30 people IN line and can't see it since you're on the register.

"What kind of sandich did you have today?"

"The 6 inch."

"...but what KIND of sandwich?"

"Small."

"What is INSIDE The sandwich?"

"It's a 6 inch on white."

"What kind of MEAT is in the sandwich?"

"Ham."
