It sounds like you're both interested in a dick measuring contest.ing guy at my universities post office. I thought he was cool since he always brings out my packages first and knows I get a bunch of packages. We talk casually too. He asked me if what I had was a Nook, I told him it was a Nexus 7. He asked if I like it since he uses Apple products. Told him I don't like Apple products b/c they cost too much, lack functionality and I can do everything his iPad 2 can do for 3x less the cost. Explained that the N7 is a great tablet and so are iPad's but I prefer Android's. Told him Apple products are great too but too much money for the same features. Didn't say it in a in your face way, just stating it in casual conversation. He underhandedly told me that he has a job and he can afford all the gadgets he wants so he doesn't consider the price. Than he tells me that once I'm able to get a real job I can afford it and get all the products he has. He see's me every damn day and knows I sell on eBay. I drop off 3 - 5 packages and pick up the same amount. I make more then him in an hour than he does his whole work day. Jackass. He also knows I have all the products I want. He knows I own a high end laptop, all the current gen consoles, all the games I want, all the gadgets I get. All through deals but why spend more money when I can get my products cheaply and save my money. You don't continue to have money by spending it all. I'm usually nice to him but him. For him to judge me off his stereotypes and little information. Idiot.
Nope. I just don't like being insulted based on little to no information.It sounds like you're both interested in a dick measuring contest.
That happens a lot where I work too. We check everything except 1 dollar bills and people sometimes get offended that we take the counterfeit pen to mark each bill.Yeah I get this often but it doesnt piss me off lol. I go along with it and laugh. Now what pisses me off is when a custumer gets an attitude about checking the bill. Its usually some elderly customer. "I don't know why you have to check them, I got them from the bank".
Yeah, I hate that. People waiting for the last minute and getting annoyed when something is out of stock.Another holiday and as expected every 5 minutes yesterday, "Do you have trick or treat pails?" "Do you have glowsticks?" "Do you have (random Halloween item)?" And then they get annoyed when they you tell them we are sold out. We had the items since August, and had almost everything up until this past weekend. It's the same thing every holiday and I'm sure on Christmas Eve, people will be walking in an hour before closing expecting a full selection of Christmas items.

What do you think he makes in a day?I make more then him in an hour than he does his whole work day.
The post office at our school is only open to students who live on the dorms. It's only open for 5 hours. I don't care about who makes more money, I care that he judged me and assumed I'm lesser than him b/c I don't care for Apple.What do you think he makes in a day?
Apparently a lot more selling on eBay.What do you think he makes in a day?
Your a cashier im assuming? Im at home depot too, with the met team, usually just throw a sweatshirt on to limit the questions from customers although i dont mind helping. What store ya at?Yes, customer, I do realize that it is cold outside and that my register is right in front of big giant doors. ALL the registers are. I don't need you people telling me this (or that I pissed somebody off) and I am well aware this is a "cold spot." The last 50 guys told me already. As did the 50 guys yesterday. And the hundreds last week. And the thousands last month. I get it.
I'm a UPS driver, during the summer when it's 110 outside people ask if it's hot outside when I come in dripping sweat all day long. O_OGlen Burnie, the Ordance Rd store.
I actually wear a winter jacket and ski cap (from the Gad Guard set), yet people still have to tell me it's cold.
Wow. Sometimes I just shake my head at society in general. Some folks should just never reproduce.Had guy who tried to steal 2 drill bits and a brass fitting today (totaling $144) but was caught by our security associate and managers. He kept shouting "Are you a cop!?" over and over again and when he finally got handcuffed he started shouting "LLLLIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSAAAAA!!!!!!!!" over and over again. His girlfriend saw what was happening and ran off.
Had this other lady later in the night wanting to return some lights. Two of them were by Juno, whose cheapest light is around $80. Those are an automatic no without receipt. She also has another $30 light and an $84 ballast 4-pack. Of course, no receipt and paid in cash. When I check her ID...it's been edited. For those who don't know about MD IDs, the ID# is in red text on a white background. She drew in a couple curves to make a 3 an 8. Said I couldn't accept it and stormed out.
She came back later with her boyfriend or husband or whatever returning the ballasts...and used the same damn ID I rejected an hour ago. The guy apparently doesn't have an ID. Urgh.
I enjoy reading them. Having worked in retail, I posted up my memorable story before.I have a few stories about my 3rd shift experiences at gas stations. The weirdest thing someone tried to shoplift was hot sauce. I felt bad for the guy because he was a regular and a nice guy. He asked to use the phone and i told him, "yeah just put the hot sauce back." I even told him if he needed something we're allowed 3 dollars a shift so if he was hungry let me know and I'd just eat the loss.
One night it was an african-american female coworker and I (around 9 or 10 pm) and someone dropped a crack rock on the floor. I was walking around and noticed it, told my coworker. She flipped and got all scared and was hysterical about calling the cops. I just cooly (half jokingly) said "Leave it there someone will pick it up in 10 minutes." It took 5
At the same location, one of my coworkers got in a fight with her baby's daddy mother (?) in the middle of our shift. We had about 20-40 people in the store at the time. The lady walks in and my coworker just walks around the counter and starts cursing and fighting. Customers were confused because I just let them fight for a few minutes figuring they would tire themselves out and no one was in any real danger. It never stopped people from getting their cigarettes, though.
I have more/crazier stories if anyone is interested.
lol shit dude, is that at a Ractrac gas station?

No, it was a local place called Spinx.lol shit dude, is that at a Ractrac gas station? I worked at Racetrac for a year and a half and I remember hearing about some lady getting in a fight with someone in the middle of her shift
I was fortunate enough to never work the 3rd shift when I worked for Racetrac, I probably would have been shanked/fired with a few weeks because I never know when to shut my mouth when people get nasty towards me. I still go into the one I used to work at whenever I want a soda in the middle of the night, and there are some nutty ass people in there. I routinely run into meth heads, crackheads, paranoid tin hat wearing folks, and just flat out nasty rednecks and wanna be gang members. I always get a kick out of it
I need to know a little more about this diamonds establishment. Is it a all nude or topless? This bit of information will help me decide if it was okay for you to send a stripper out to her deathNo, it was a local place called Spinx.
One of my co-workers was an older guy who had some anger issues. People would bring in loose change, sometimes even 4 or 5 dollars worth, and he would scoot it off the counter into the floor and say "Next, please." One day he and this other gentleman were arguing and he calls the guy a son of a bitch. The guy then requests to see the manager. The guy says "Hey Linda, this son of a bitch wants to see you."
One night, this stripper from a shady strip club comes in to get a pack of cigarettes. I tell her the total and she just looks at me. I then repeat myself and just say ma'am. She gets all pissed and says "I work at Diamonds and I have to show you my ing ID?" I replied, "No ma'am, but your total is $$$$." She goes out to her car to pump her gas then comes back in and says, "There's someone at my car." This was about 2:30 and there wasn't anything close to a human being in the parking lot. I explain that to her and she still argues with me about someone being out there. I tell her it would be fine and hope she gets the hell out of my store so i can stock the cooler. Finally after staring at her empty car for 5 minutes she says, "If I get hurt, it's your fault." I nonchalantly reply, "Ok well have a good night." I never saw her again.
It's closed down now. I don't go to those type of joints.I need to know a little more about this diamonds establishment. Is it a all nude or topless? This bit of information will help me decide if it was okay for you to send a stripper out to her death
Now I understand why you don't care for the safety of strippersIt's closed down now. I don't go to those type of joints.
If they survive the meth, coke, STDs and lowlifes that frequent those types of places then they're fine at the gas station.Now I understand why you don't care for the safety of strippers
Hey they are just girls working their way through collegeIf they survive the meth, coke, STDs and lowlifes that frequent those types of places then they're fine at the gas station.
Not in South Carolina they're not. Might be working their way through another baby or a 5th year at 10th grade.Hey they are just girls working their way through college
That's actually pretty true. Sadly.Not in South Carolina they're not. Might be working their way through another baby or a 5th year at 10th grade.
We had a regular customer who every night bought a 6 pack of beer and a pack of cheap porn mags (usually got 3 in a pack for 10 bucks). That day we had just happened to get a shipment in of cheap condoms. Ironically the only time I have seen those in the store. He comes in 5 minutes after I stock them and buys a 24 pack of beer and after careful deliberation, gets ALL of the cheap condoms I had stocked. He then looks around some more and frustratingly/confusingly asks, "Y'all got all of these condoms and no lubrication?" I didn't really know what to say since he said it in front of God and everybody like we were talking about the weather. I said the first thing that popped in my mind, "Well we have some bottles of lotion." "Hell that will have to do he says" and buys all the lotion.
Every pump I have seen now has a breakaway designed to literally break if someone drives off with the nozzle in the tank. It looks like a big round clasp that you see on jewelry. I've got a couple of more stories I have forgotten from my time as a passive aggressive gas cashier person.LOL damn those stories are gold, Sizemore. Helps me pass the time at work.
My favorite was the owner finally learning his own lesson about prepays. It's sad that he couldn't have smarten up until he saw it happen in front of him. That's messed up that they actually take it out of your paycheck. Is that even legal? I never worked at a gas station but one time I was talking to a technician that was working on a pump and quizzed him on the issues that come up with pumps. I found it interesting that he told me that a common thing customers are guilty of are pumping extra gas beyond the full line. He said it messes up the sensor inside the pump and is the directly results in a pump not being able to hold in place with the lock mechanism because of the air that gets stuck inside the nozzle iirc. He also said it's expensive to fix pumps when people become careless and drive away with it still inserted in the gas tank. Sometimes the pumps can break right off since they are built that way for safety reasons.
Is it bad if you have those long pumps that can reach over to the other side of your car? It's when the gas lines are full that it's more convenient to just park on the opposite lane and stretch the pump over your car. iirc, he said it's fine so long as you don't have a huge car like an SUV. Small sized sedans like the one I use are fine.
I don't work in retail anymore so I don't have anything new from my personal vault of stories to add but when I went to Best Buy last week an employee told me how once in awhile they will field calls from customers requesting them to be "transferred to electronics." lol wut.
Thanks. I really didn't mean to hijack the thread, but people were enjoying it and the world is so negative that even a little story could brighten someone's day. i'll try to remember some other stories and blog about it.You should created a blog. Then i could vote for it for blog of the year on the no longer existent cheapy awards.
