And the stupid just keeps on coming
So as I previously posted I work in retail and it seems like every day I go in some customer seems to out do the previous days moron. Like today... I had two of the stupidest questions asked to me.
So here's the set up for the first stupid question.
At my store we're running a promotion: "Buy one T-shirt you get another for $10".
And we have signs all over our store saying this, hence the quotation marks.
So this girl walks up to one of my co-workers who happened to be standing near me and asked
"So can you explain this $10 deal to me?"
(If you're reading this and your jaw just hit the floor and you said in your head "How can a person be that stupid?" you are not alone. I had the exact same thought process)
My co-worker then said "When you buy one T-shirt you can get another for $10" and she said, "Oh okay".
My question is how was this girl able to make it out of her driveway and drive all the way to the mall without killing herself. I mean if you can't read a sign and understand it, but yet when someone basically reads the sign to you; you then understand.... I mean.... Wow. This is one of the reasons that I feel you should have to pass an competency test in order to reproduce. Stupid people just hook up with other stupid people and thus make even increasingly stupid children.
And yes she did speak english, just in case there were people out there reading this thinking that I'm just being mean to someone who didn't understand the language. I'm not. She's just really really dumb.
Then the other stupid question that was asked to me. I was ringing this mother and daughter out and the mom said to me
"Do you accept expired coupons?"
Wouldn't a normal human being that has ever used a coupon before realize that there are no stores that accept expired coupons. I mean why would they have expiration dates if you could still use them after said date. Then to add a cherry on the whole event the mother decided that my answer of "no" was not the proper response and decided to be a bitch to me afterwords.
Its shit like this that causes cashiers to be mean and bitchy to other customers. People are cheap and stupid and want to get something for nothing.
So next time you're in a bad mood and decided on a little retail therapy.... don't spread your bad day onto your cashier. This may cause them spread your negativity to the other people they are forced to interact with.
