Important Information!

No matter how many times I say it, noone ever learns, so I'll say it again

IF YOURE GOING TO HAVE AN ADDCITION, YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW IT WORKS BEFORE YOU COME UP TO THE COUNTER!

Okay, now that that is done, SPREAD THE NEWS! Refer this site and all of its stupidity to every person you know. I am serious. If you have ever worked in retail, I'm sure you have nodded at more that half of the things I've complained about. The sad fact remains that many of the people who have never worked in retail do not know that these behaviors are frowned upon. Not only are they ignorant of the frowning, but they continue to ruin the lives of every reatail person they come in contact with. If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.

Anyways, I got into a shounting match with a customer today. An actual shouting match, not just the regular voice raised 'You're Wrong!' thing, this was actual yelling...

She was such a stupid cunt (and believe me, I do not use that word very often... and even less often do I feel that anyone is deserving of such a degrading name...)

Her and her boyfriend pull up, and lift the nosal. No problem thus far, I do my intercom message. She comes in. Still no problem.

'Aren't you going to clear him to pump?' She demands!

'I haven't recieved any money yet, have I?' (I'll admit, I was in a bad mood last night to begin with)

'Well I'm standing here'

'I'm not starting the pump until I have recieved payment'

'FINE!!!' she slams $20 on the counter

'Do you want it all in gas' (I tried to be as polite as I could, cuz most of the time customers will just leave if theyre still the only one angry)

'NO I WANT FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS WORTH OF GAS!'

Glaring, I hand her back $15 and clear the boyfriend for $5. I do not say a word.

'Can I get a pack of Matinee Red King size as well?' (said in a snobby manner)

'We do not carry those' (we dont...)

'JUST GIVE ME THE GODDAM CIGARETTES!'

'I TOLD YOU MATINEE DOES NOT COME IN RED!'

'I BUY THEM HERE ALL THE TIME'

'WE DO NOT! CARRY MATINEE RED! THEY COME IN GREEN, WHITE, AND GOLD!'

'I WANT MATINEE RED'

'NUMBER 7 COMES IN RED, WE DO NOT HAVE MATINEE RED'

'I DONT WANT NUMBER 7, I WANT MATINEE RED!'

'WE DO NOT CARRY MATINEE RED!'

'WEL THEN WHAT HAVE I BEEN SMOKING FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS!'

'IT WASN'T MATINEE RED, AND IT WASN'T FROM HERE!'

'I KNOW THEY WERE MATINEE RED, AND I BOUGHT THEM HERE'

Thats when I snapped... I just didn't care anymore...

She yelled and yelled, and I ignored her... She finally settled on a pack of dumaurier (oh my! Those are red!) and left... thank god



So this is my second to last night working at petro fo rthe summer......

I'll see about topics to continue my blog. Those of you who know me, know how good I am with finding things to complain about... We'll see in the near future.. I apologise if I am not able to update in the near future... The whole province to province move might make things a bit akward...
