Holiday Retail Insanity! Ha Ha Ho Ho Hee Hee! Today is one of those days when every customer with MAXed Out Credit Cards or Credit Cards that were No FiretrUCKing Good came to my register. Maybe they were even searching through the merchandise to find products with defective bar codes or even no bar code to take to my register. One Redneck Gentleman crossed his arms and declared that he was NOT leaving until I took his Visa. (Sam's is a No Visa Club). There was a long line of customers behind him. I told him that I would call the supervisor who would tell him that Sam's does not take Visa, he could find another way to pay for it or the Supervisor could cancel the transaction and he would not have to pay for it at all. He finally paid for it with a Discover Card, much to the delight of the other customers. I was amused when a customer placed several cased of beer and a fifty pound bag of food on the belt and couldn't figure out why the belt wouldn't move any more. Dah! After I tossed the food on top of the beer in the shooping cart, he offered to help. He placed the two bags of Lays potato chips in the cart. "Not to worry, I transferred from the Meat Department." I advised him that if he needed help loading those cheese puffs to let the door greeter know and he would radio for assistant. It was finally time to count down the Register. Yea Ha! Tweleve Thousand Something and 25 cents off. It's a good thing I'm not a perfectionist. The Supervisor walks in just as I'm about to leave. "Would you like to work over." she asked. "No! Only if you are really really desperate," I reply. "I'll dance at your wedding" she answers. "It's a clothing optional wedding and bring your dancing shoes" I replied back. Door Greeter Duty - Here I come!!!!!! As I was heading for the door, the Door Greeter remarked, "There have been some real jacka$$es coming though this door today." "Yeah! and I bet you sent them all to MY Register," OH WELL! One more HOur and One Minute at at time, I made it the end of the shift and Home in time to fix Mr. Joe a Rueben Sandwhich with Sweet Potato Fries. Now I am going to jump in his Hot Tub. Ten More Days till Xmas! Woo Hoo! My called. He works as a waiter. He told me how he inadvertly splashed some ranch dressing on an obnoxious customer and the customers at the next table gave him an extra special tip. Too Bad, Cashiers don't get extra special tips.   Abracadabra  |
