To Be Continued

Really, he was lucky I didn't snap on his ass, but I was already in a foul mood so I was already in "I don't give a fuck" mode. You see, earlier, I broke down crying at work and...

TO BE CONTINUED...

I hate men!! I basically broke down at work because of some out of work issues. Really, I need to learn how to keep my personal life and work separate, but sometimes it's an issue that cannot be helped!! And if people keep picking, picking, picking, eventually it's going to cause a thread to break.

Basically, another cashier got into a pair of customers about running their card twice. Our receipts didn't print because the machine thought the order was a duplicate. But the customer said that his bank took out both amounts. I tried to explain to the men that we can't tell if we recieved the money until the next day, but one just HAD to get his money that day. The total for both run-throughs was about $25. And he was just being rude and I put up with it for awhile before I snapped at him and then started crying from my o.o.w. stress. His friend apologized to me, but gah, EMBARRASSING!! It was cleared up the next day, but fuck, it wasn't a big deal to begin with. I've gone to Nordstrom and had them run a purse I bought twice, and that shit cost $100 and I didnt' bitch. I just waited until the next day. But this guy was just rude off the bat despite me telling him it would be cleared by tomorrow. Geez.. are you that broke you don't have over $25 in the bank?? If so, then you don't need to come to the liquor store.

I just hope it doesn't happen again. The breakdown I mean... but the whole card situation was ridiculously annoying.

I'm currently at work now on my laptop attempting to aoid all eye contact with people trying to talk to me. Everytime I am on my laptop, without fail, someone asks if I'm doing homework/studying.

Well... if I am, why are you interrupting me? if I knew smeone was doing work, the last tihng I would do is interrupt them to ask if they're doing work! And, most of the time, I'm not doing work anyway so it's just annoying to constantly have people ask. If I'm on thec computer, i could be doing a variety of things: playing a game, actually doing work, reading gossip blogs, writing on my blog... the possibilities are endless, so really, regardless of what I'm doing online, it's none of your business.

And I say that in the most polite way possible.

Snatch Game

Ahh... people pissing me off.

Dude was on the phone and kept teetering back and forth so I finally just snatched the bill out his damn hand.

"Did you just snatch that from me?"
"No."

When I hand him his change, he snatches it and says,

"Ha, but I snatched it back right?"

... And this man looks like he is fucking 50 something years old.

Like, are you serious? Maybe if his dumb ass wasn't on the phone, I wouldn't have had to snatch his ratty ass money in the first fucking place.

Really, he was lucky I didn't snap on his ass, but I was already in a foul mood so I was already in "I don't give a fuck" mode. You see, earlier, I broke down crying at work and...

EBTs Not Fucking Accepted!

Note to all food stamp users of America: I'm pretty sure our government didn't intend for you to use your EBTs on liquor and cigerettes.

Like, fucking seriously.

Minimum purchase $8.00

A lot of the stores I go into have some sort of minimum purchase required in order to use a credit card/debit card. My school has one ($3.00), some gas stations have one, some stores at the mall have one...

But yet, plenty of our customers have an absolute uproar because we have one ($8.00) and act like they've never heard of a store having that before and that it's absolutely ridiculous to have one. If a customer chooses to buy something under $8.00, then we add a 50 cent charge to make up for the charge incurred from our credit card company. (Because frankly, we don't have to pay it because someone wants to charge $2.50 to buy a bag of cheetos and pork skins!)

Ok, quick lesson: The credit card companies make money from stores who have a credit card machine. This is why a lot of places do not accept American Express and Discover Card, because they charge storeowners the highest in fees.

So, to the man who grumbled while leaving because he wanted to charge under $8.00 and said, "How the hell are they are going to tell me how to spend my money?"

BECAUSE IT'S MY FUCKING STORE, YOU CHEAP DOUCHE.

Dirty Money

I hate dirty money. And I'm not talking about Diddy's group.

Now, I know that all money is dirty unless you get it straight from the mint. People are always picking their nose, sneezing, stratching their dandruff (etc. etc.) and then handing money off to someone else.

But STILL. I don't want to see that! So save me the torture of the visual! If it's 75 degrees outside and you hand me a $20 from your bra, and you weigh 30 lbs over your ideal weight, then I will know exactly why your money is soggy.
