Just HAD to share this one
I have to say, I do like my job. Nights like tonight just make that even more apparent. I don't know if it was the rain, or what, but the crazies were out tonight. There was one guy who I wanted to slap upside the head because of all the idiotic parenting mistakes he was making (example: he left his 2 year old in the carriage at the register to run outside to get change...) but the best story is one I absolutely had to share.
So we're getting the "10:00 rush" The bunches of people who suddenly appear right before we close at the end of an otherwise dead night. There's a couple who come in, not sure if they were dating/married/friends or what, but that doesn't matter. They both seemed very happy and she was giggling, but I didn't smell any alcohol or anything so I don't know if they were drunk or just extremely happy. They were buying a 12 pack of Corona and a couple of other things, the scene went something like this:
me: Alright, that'll be $18.72.
Male customer: -hands me a $20- There ya go.
Female customer: No! Don't take his money! I'm going to pay for it!
Male customer: oh no no no I'm getting this one.
Female customer: Don't take that, it's a phony $20!
Male customer: I gave you a $20, now I want my change.
-she's trying to push past him to give me a card, they're both laughing-
Female customer: don't make me kick your butt.
Male customer: I don't think you could.
Me: I think she could take you. How about rock paper scissors?
Female customer: -playfully kicks the guy in the butt-
Male customer: Hey! Just let me pay.
Female customer: WAIT! I know her name!! I know her name!! Do you know her name?
Male customer: -still standing in her way- I don't know...
Female customer: It's Laurel!!
Male customer: -looks at me- is she right?
Me: Yeah, she's right.
Female customer: YES!! hahaha!
Male customer: Awww man. -takes his $20 back-
-she pays and they laugh about it some more. On their way out the door-
Female customer: Bye Laurel!
Me: Bye.
Male customer: I can't believe this...
Female customer: You just had to know her name!
Male customer: So, if I know her name, I can pay next time?
That absolutely made my night
Oh, on another work-related note: I got another $.25 raise.
Unrelated: I apparently am helping my brother move tomorrow morning... am not pleased about this because I have to work 2-10 tomorrow night.
