Work was interesting yesterday at the Tattersalls. I decided to be more chatty and ask people about their day and stuff. I love when customers come in their uniforms, I get to see where they work. One regular was wearing he's guide dog uniform. He is a trainer in Kew for the foundation!! I was like WOW! I asked for a card and he was telling me there is a long waiting list though :( He didn't have a card so he wrote down the number on the back of a reciept. The boss thought I was romancing on the job. I was like WTF? I don't even know the guy, you've met him more times then me!!! My boss didn't even know what guide dogs do... =____________=;;
One guy was telling me he wastes a lot of monies on the lottery but it paid off a while back when he won $45K and his mate won $46K. I was like holy fuck. XO
Two were to this short red headed father. Well, he looked like the type where he's wife would dominate him. Anyway, he came to me when it sort of empty but he also wanted to buy powerball tickets and so it took him a tad longer cause the machine decided to lag and so by the time I got around to scanning the mags... a whole shitload of people... and some were elderly people looking over he's shoulder trying to see why he was taking so long. Should've seen their glares as he was leaving the store. Poor bugger.
The last one I sold to this kid that looked like 13 years old. I think you can't sell stuff like that to anyone under 18 right? Anyway, my boss is calling up to ask about that today for next time. Ah, the kid was so cute...
Me: That's $8 dollars.
Him: *shoves a few notes and coins on the counter*
Me: Uhm, you've given me $13. Here you go, it's only $8.
Him: Oh. (He looked super anxious to get out of here)
Me: Did you want me to put it in a bag for you? *smirk*
Him: Yes please.
Me: *while getting a bag* A bit young aren't you sweetheart for that type of mag?
Him: *looked like he wanted to get outta there so bad*
Me: See ya later.
I thought it was cute. My boss and I had a good laugh after that.
There's this stupid hag that gives me a hard time every week.
Right, there's this woman who comes in every week. The first week she gave me her Tatts card and I scan it in.
Her: Tatts 2 and Keno for 7 nights love.
Me: Okie pokie. Anything off the card?
Her: No, that's all.
*she comes back later and starts yelling at me*
Her: You gave me the wrong ones.
Me: Sorry?
Her: These aren't my numbers.
Me: You wanted your numbers? I gave you quick picks.
Her: They're already on your card.
Me: Oh, I didn't know sorry.
*boss fixes her up*
-YESTERDAY-
Me: Morning! I'll get it right this time!
Her: That's good to hear love.
Me: *scans her card*
Her: Just the Keno today.
Me: Cool.
Her: Here's $4
Me: It's only $1
Her: *starts ramlbing off an explanantion*
Me: Is this what you wanted? *shows her Keno for tonight*
Her: NO. HONESTLY, I don't know how you can stuff it up when it's on the carD!!!
Me: What's wrong with it?
Her: All you have to do is scan in Keno and it'll print 7 days for you.
Me: You want Keno for a week?
Her: It's already on the card.
Me: No, it's not. The Keno on there is only for a night!!! Not one week!!
Her: It's on there for 7 nights missy.
Me: *sigh* *fixes her ticket*
Her: I know that you're new and everything and that it will take months for you to understand the machine. But how hard is it to get my ticket right? Anyway, Keno is played by nights not weeks!!
Me: Yeh but 7 nights is still a week.
Her: Keno is played by nights.
Me: 7 nights equals a week.
Her: Keno isn't played in weeks but nights.
Me: $4 please. Good luck.
ARGGGGGGGHHHH!!! She pisses me off!! I fucking get the machine alright!!! The stupid hag doesn't realise that it's only set for a night on her card!! She thinks she knows better then I do. Not every other customer words their words like her!! One of these days... MEH. She gives me a hard time everyweek and yells at me. Old people are too stubborn for their own good. The bright side is her husband is a funny guy. Can't believe he got tied down to her though. My boss was telling me don't worry about her. She hates everyone new. Ugh.
AND YAY. I've got a throat infection. I think it's getting better!! Just a bit more sleep.
