I hate human beings...
So I officially had some of the worst customers ever this evening.
Evil Customer Numero Uno:
A man who first pointed out I had charged him too much for some broccoli. Fair enough, we fixed that, the produce dudes had the wrong sign up. After that deal and after I had voided that off his list I asked him for his card back so that I could finish the transaction. This is where it all starts.
Apparently, I never gave him back his card. What? I didn't give him his card back? Uhm...sorry, but that's habit right after ringing things through, so I must have. Then he puts up a fuss that I did not give it back and therefore must have it. I turned out my apron pockets, checked my till, looked in the groceries and the magazine holder at the end of my till and still it did not turn up. At this point other customers and cashiers were helping me look. I suggested maybe he put it in his pockets. He turned those out, so I asked about his wallet. He pulls that out and points out where the card should be, where the others cards are, and how his card is still not there. I wanted to tell him to look behind the cards but now he was angry. I called my supervisor, we kept searching. Near the end, when I was really fretting, he checked his wallet again, and sure enough there it was behind another card. Did he apologize to me? No...he apologized to the other customers and left me feeling stupid, even though he was the dipshit. Cool beans? I think NOT!
Evil Customer Numero Dos:
A female customer I had quickly ran to go get some ice, and as I had started to ring through her order a man came to my line. I explained that the woman had just gone to get ice and that she would be back quickly. He mumbled something so I said, pardon?
"why not just shop for one thing at a time, huh?"
I smiled and nodded. As the girl returned I asked if she would like a plastic bag for the ice, to which he commented,
"Of course she would" in a very sarcastic tone. She did not hear.
She thought that she'd misplaced her card (honestly people come on!!) We found it and we swiped it, I put her stuff in bags and realized she hadn't punched in her code so I pointed it out to her. She apologized and went on with it to which the man groaned, "Jesus Christ". Her reply? "Chill buddy". My thoughts exactly. As she was picking up her stuff she said,
"I'm sorry, did I just take a minute away from your life? Is it that hard to wait?"
His reply, "Oh no not at all, everyone will wait for you won't they?"
Christ man. What the fuck is your problem? Did you not get your fix tonight? The lads behind him just kinda shaked their head and told me that karma will get him back. Those guys were actually really sweet. But either than that, what is wrong with me? Especially older ones that are impatient?
I hate people.
In other news my next door neighbors have possibly the cutest kitty ever. And Tlell is leaving tomorrow morning, so I will accompany her to the airport.
