Last night I was called to the bottle shop where a short man about mid-thirties I would assume stood with both arms full of booze bottles.
"If I write a check will you hold it until Wednesday. That is when I get paid"
I had to actually process the stupidity of this request.
"You want me to hold your check that you write tonight until Wednesday....so that you can buy booze?"
"Yes, I get my unemployment check on Wednesday"
"Sir, you will have to come back for these drinks Wednesday then. I can't hold a check."
"Why not?"
"Many reasons sir. One, it will mess up our end of the night reports on this till. Second, if I hold a check for you, I would have to hold checks for everybody and the store simply can't do that"
"BUT MY KID HAS TO GO TO THE DOCTOR"
Once again I had to stand there to process the stupid.
"Okay, I am sorry about that but I don't see how your child going to the doctor ties in with buying alcohol..."
"Fucking fine then..."
And he walked out....
What.
The.
Hell.
