How's your week?


Our excitement at work today was a small boy carrying a dart gun set, the box was about the size of the boy. He follows his mama around struggling to carry this box begging to have it. But, in the end, mama said no. Boy pounds his fists on the box screaming and crying. Mama still says no. We put it back.

I once had a mom buy a gun set (can't recall water balloons, water, or darts) and I said to the 10ish boy, Don't point that at your mom. Boy was confused, What would happen if he did. Lady says to try it and find out. Mom says he will be deep trouble.

Had a odd customer that cried she has a 15% coupon, but doesn't show it to me. It's automatic for all associates, she says (in which store?). So scan her candle and bend over to get a sack. She brashly informs me I forgot her coupon. Sorry ma'am (Am I not allowed to get a sack before giving a total?). So as she counts her change I give the usual, I'll gladly take change and it will get used. After I give her change back and drawer is closed, she takes out all the change in her purse. She announces I can't have her quarters and demands a quarter for her 2 dimes and nickel. I think she took me too literally about liking change, but I open the drawer to get a quarter for her. I have to break all the rules to make a customer happy you know.
Had a group of boys in our breakroom drawing greeting cards with construction paper. Adult there said, No gun pictures. Kid asks, Can I draw a duck. Another asks, What's a duck? Adult replied, The kind that go quack quack. IS there another definition of duck?

Ok, got a short message on one of my blogs asking why I hated them. What did they do to me? Um, let's see. Total stranger from God's knows where is asking this question. If I actually knew you, I would have answer.


Got phony coupons being spread again. Coupon from a new store is copied and photo shopped on the computer to alter it enough to scan it. These coupons have been redeemed at least a week, and now this figure this out. Finally, we can say no to a customer.

Well, let's see. Think lost some friends from my boring life and passion for saving shelter animals. Only happy stories for certain people. I'm sorry I'm not artificial and pretend my life is a fantasy that is the envy of all my friends. I sleep w/cats, have to ask my Mommy for money cause my job doesn't pay enough (and lost my good job so lucky to work at all), I'm so tired all the time it borders dysfunction, and yeah, I'm dirt poor so can't go anywhere interesting. This is some f***ing fairytale I'm living.

Well, outta news to tell.
