Ok, so two things that have pissed me off in the last day or so. The first being this dumb old woman who came into the A&P last night. She's buying bagels at 2 for 1. Ok, i type in the code for six bagels twice and it doesn't come off, so I call the manager over, he goes, oh, thats the wrong code, you have to enter it for one bagel and press quantity 6, ok, so that gets straightened out, and then she leans over to me, and goes those bagels better be free.... I'm like "excuse me" she repeates herself, and then goes "It's company policy" I almost hit her or laughed at her. First off, don't quote company policy unless you work for the goddam company. secondly on a buy one get one free you got your free one you dumb old bag. our policy is "If an item scans higher then the price on it, you get one free. Therefore on a buy one get one free, go suck a lollipop cause you got your goddam free one. But then she goes and talks to the manager, for ten minutes insisting we didn't give her her free bagels. He's goes it didn't scan in the first place, and secondly it was humaqn error for putting the wrong code, not a system error like you think. I hate her
Ok, the next thing today. I'm in psych, i made it on time doing 95 on 287, but I got there, and I was on time, ok so I'm talking to kristin, and honey I'm sorry I was so angry on the phone this morning, but I was just in a hurry and in a weird mood. SO anyways, I'm sitting in class and the proffesser goes "a man managed to cure children with severe autism by giving them electric shocks whenever they would do things, like hurt themselves (slamming there heads into things, or biting themselves) he would give them a shock and came to find that they began to associate the feelings of a shock with those behaviors, so they stopped doing them. I was sitting there, and I was stunned, not angry, amazed, this guy was managing to really help these kids to lead semi-normal lives and it seemed awesome. Well, then this autistic (whatever the fuck he is) kid in the front goes "thats against every human moral" and the teacher says "is it not moral to help people" and he goes "no, you're hurting them, and you can accomplish just as much with positive reinforcement" Then this one girl goes "some of them have no touch with our reality and do not experience the same feelings and emotions as us" and he goes "no, they're all the same, I should no, blah blah blah" I wish he was normal, cause I would smack this kid, he needs it. Just because he's autistic, and sure probably had a much harder time learning things then me, or anyone else in the class, he does not know everything about autism. I am not saying that I do, but I am saying that there are varying degrees of autism and he obviously is not the most severe, there are kids who need to where helmets, and kids who cannot really be helped, and he doesn't want to get that through his big fat semi-autistic head.
Oh well, thats my rant........... .....
