I just found a bunch of the scraps of paper I wrote out about life in the world of retail. (: I'm in the process of sorting them, categories being,
A) Stupid actions,
B) Stupid comments
C) What not to wear
Case in point...
A) Kid came in for cigarettes, fairly regular, but I couldn't remember if he normally bought them so I ID'd him. "Oh, uh, it's in my glove box..." Got in the car and closed the door, so I knew he was gonna take off... He punched the gas, and scraped the entire side of his truck along the bumpers for the pumps. (:
B) Woman came in looking for a certain cigar. I was confused because of the way she asked, but eventually I got the product, *showed it to her*, and she agreed that was what she wanted. Paid, left, came back 10 minutes later and said it wasn't the right one. We cannot take any tobacco, or alcohol product back once it has left the store. No exceptions. "Well, I'm just saying, if a person can't take it back, you should be sure it's the right product!" Lady, I showed it to *YOU* the person that *should have* known what it was they were buying before they left the store!
C) Watched a man leaving the store, in October mind you, wearing, very dingy white socks in black sandals, I never got to his shirt though, because I was too lost staring at his leopard print cargo pants. WTF?!?!?! I think my brain was just having too much difficulty processing 'leopard print' 'mens' and 'cargo' all in one grouping.
Stay tuned! And as usual,
Thanks for Noticing me!
