I believe by now, everyone has come to the conclusion that I have an issue with stupidness. A wise man once said "tis better to keep your mouth shut and appear an idiot than to open it, and prove it so", or something along those lines. I go to the store yesterday, make my purchases, and I'm supposed to get $18.91 change back. I tell the kid, "I've got 9 cents", to which the kid replied "okay". Now this one little word doesn't seem like such a big deal, right? Well, I hand him the money and he looks at it in his hand like it's boogers out of one of Santa's reindeer. He looks at the cash register. Looks at me. Looks at cash register. Looks at his hand. Looks at me. Picks up the intercom and calls his manager! You can't PAY for this kind of entertainment!
This is for everyone who is thinking of pursuing a career in the world of retail...learn math!!! If something costs $21.09, and the guy gives you 2 twenties, and then 9 cents, don't hand him back $18.91, and then 9 more cents. Dumb-ass! Hand him $19.00. That's why he did it. I would have pursued a career in retail, but they won't let me mingle with children. Or stupid people.
It really irritates me when you go to a store and something costs $4.75, you give them a 5 dollar bill, and they have to look at the register to make change. I just want to scream "ARE YOU REALLY THAT MUCH OF A MORON???" Goodness gracious, my guinea pig can do better math than that, and he only made it through the 3rd grade! (I have a brick layer like this too)
Took the youngest to Dairy Queen after early release today. Ordered a small chocalate malt (my fave) and a small blizzard for the tax deduction. He changed his mind after it was rung up & wanted to change to a malt also. The blizzard cost more. I tell the girl to change it to a malt. She tells me there is a price difference. I tell her it's fine, keep the 30 cents, just change it to a malt. She calls her manager over for approval!!! Calls her manager over for approval!!! Somebody's handing you money & you have to get approval? You could have won employee of the quarter by increasing DQ's profits, but nooooooo! I don't know bout you, but if somebody hands me money, I'm taking it & not asking questions!
Sometimes, when I know that I'm dealing with one of the dimmer bulbs on the tree, I'll do stuff just to jack with him. Buy something that costs $2.04, then hand them a 5. Once they key it in the register, hand them 4 cents. (they'll get confused) Then say, "what was I thinking?" and hand them 2 more dollars, but ask for the 4 cents back.
Well, it's time for me to pull out the tutu and tights and hit the ballet class.
