From where quality comes first...
Why can't they get the picture? Why don't they understand? We're not dealing with the Planet of Apes, we're talking 'bout the modern man...
We had a customer recently decide that she would carry her dog into the store. It was me who had to remind her that pets are not permitted in the grocery store. She, in turn, replied that her Chihuahua was her seeing-eye dog.
Now, besides the fact that I have never seen a Chihuahua as a seeing-eye dog, if it WAS a seeing-eye dog, why would one be carrying it in one's arms?
They asked me how I knew my true love was true... I of course replied, something here inside cannot be denied.
Someone came into my line this Saturday when I had no customers.
Me: Hi, how are you today?
Them: Carton of Marlboro Light Menthol 100s in boxes.
Now, besides the fact that I can't translate most of that request, other than knowing he wants a carton of cigarettes, I have to break it to him.
Me: Sir, I can't sell cigarettes at the register, you'll have to go to courtesy.
Them: But I only want to write one check.
Me: Sir, you have no other items with you, so I can only assume that you'd be writing one check regardless.
Turns out the guy had just turned 18 on Saturday, and thought he'd come in to buy cigarettes. But our state decided to raise the date to 19 that very Saturday, so he was unable to buy his cigarettes.
I can catch the moon in my hand... Don't you know who I am? Remember my name...
I was working express, and up comes this lady with two carts full of groceries. The sign says 20 or less but once someone gets in line, I'm not allowed to throw them out of line. But I can tell them that they went through the express line. Which I did. I got the following response:
"Oh, the express lane rules don't apply to me! Don't you know how much money I spend in this store each week?"
Last I checked, the rules apply to everyone. Even if the owner of the store went through the express lane with too many items, I'd let him know.
And when the odds are against him and there's dangerous work to do...
Also in the express lane, I had a person bring about a hundred cans of cat food through my line. I, like the last time, reminded them that the express lane was for people with 20 items or less.
"But it's all one item."
Nope, the fact that you bought 25 or so different types of cat food negates the idea that it's all one item.
More stories when I can remember them. And since the NHL playoffs are here, go Flyers!
