are you serious
Aug. 31st, 2019 08:45 amWork was pretty dead last night, which is not me complaining. Since today is the last day of the month, it's cig count and new tags get hung tonight. Because my boss loves me, she talked the store manager into letting me not count the cigs in order to do the tags instead. To make that job easier on the girl who has to do it instead, I went through and sorted things so it'll be really easy to count them.
And then around 5am I'm filling the area in front of the registers and I see a guy walking by the cos windows. And I just know it's the big guy who hops the counter and steals our cartons of cigs. He turns and then comes in and I'm not 100% sure because I've only seen him once before. I say hello and he says good morning and I take a step to the side because either he IS the guy and I don't want to find out if he's the shoving sort or he's not the guy and I'm in his way. The absolute second I take the first step, up and over he goes.
The best part is one of our regulars was in the store and he comes up as Biggie is raiding the Marlboros, and you can tell he doesn't realize the guy isn't an employee. And then it dawns on him and that's when Biggie hauls ass. Because he doesn't care whether we're around but customers are another thing entirely. He was in such a hurry that he dropped one of the cartons.
As I'm making my list of possibly stolen items, another customer comes in and warns us that today's gonna suck because everyone's going to be rushing to the stores for provisions because Dorian is now expected to make landfall near the GA/SC border. JOY.
