Jun. 19th, 2010 08:18 amExplain to me again why I never turned this into an icon before? Cuz... yeah.
Today brought two special people to the store. One was obviously out of her mind moreso than usual. This woman does not understand that she's not allowed to pick out her own cigarettes and frankly, I stopped trying to explain this to her. Last night she comes around and I'm in the way and she just keeps coming and then she starts... babbling. And it takes me a full minute to realize she's attempting to cheer me up. o_O Dude, I'm trying to drink my soda. I'm good, not ready to cry or anything. Coworker fusses at the lady when it becomes beyond weird and the lady doesn't get that a) not allowed behind counter, b) I'm good, no crying or sadness. Not even tired at this point. So she blows me kisses.
Blows.
Me.
Kisses.
Then, right before she walks through the door, she turns around and shoots my coworker the Stink Eye, only coworker wasn't paying attention, so it nailed me instead. :P
Later, this guy comes in and I ask if he needs help. He wants a gift card for a wedding present to a relative of his and what might be a good idea? He has no idea what they'd like, so I suggest one of the pre-paid visa/am ex cards. These things aren't new, right? So I didn't think I had to remind him that those have activation fees.
Only he notices AFTER he pays. Then, when he fills out the wedding card, he gets to figuring that the fee percentage is crazy. It is, I agree. But it's the price you pay for not giving cash or a different card or something. You'd pay tax on that $25 gift, right? So... essentially you're paying tax on the card. Should have put it to him that way. Whatever. He asks if he can return the card.
No, sir, the signs clearly state you can't. He's all, "What signs? There should be signs telling you about the fees. You, young lady, should mention this to people the next time someone buys one of these cards."
I get a mini freakin' riot act at 3am because this guy waited until the last minute and then ignored the numerous signs that told him "fees apply" and "no refunds/exchanges on gift cards."
Damn near stabbed him with a pen.
