Oh mother loving...

Sometimes the stupidity I encounter at work astounds me.

Take yesterday for instance. A woman comes in with coupons. Apparently she can't read well enough to understand them. So my coworker explains the coupon to her repeatedly. We're talking about at least 3, possibly 5 times.

Woman finally seems to grasp the concept. Orders 2 six inch sammiches. Because if you get 2, and buy a drink or any size, one of the 6 inchers is free. Go to ring her up, and apparently she thought the entire time that she only had to buy the drink and she only had enough to buy the drink. Into the trash those sammiches went!

I mean, seriously? How hard is this:
You buy a 6 inch and a drink and get another 6 inch free.

And who in the world would believe we would give you a footlongs worth of food for $1.50 (the price, with tax, of a small drink).

I really wanted to tell her not to come back ever again.

Ahh.
Working retail changes a person. I used to be calm, nild manored and dificult to anger.
now im throughing out rage eyes left and right.

What I hate the most ( I understand its petty) is when I have 15+ people in line, the next person moves up and sits there for 5 minutes deciding what they want.
WTF were you doing the 5 mins the person in front of you was trying to decide what THEY wanted?!!

Im angry judt thinking about it.

lol i hate that too epyk and it does make me wonder.. I mean you can view everything if your just behinde a few people.

Humans!

Where do I get one of those 2 sammiches for the price of a drink coupons?

You guys should watch Clerks.

I like to bring in coupons of completely unrelated stuff like mattresses and argue for hours that it says I get 2 free sandwiches.

Coupons for mattresses? I can haz?

Just use some subway coupons if you want a discount on a mattress.

...a free sub could go along way to getting a discount on a mattress...
im looking to get either a senterpedic(sp?) Or a sleep number...
I just can't decide between which.

subway = dumbasses, as a general rule. the amount of morons i had to deal with would fill war and peace in page content. GAH!

there were a lot of nice customers, though, but the bad ones made you want to go hurl yourself off the nearest cliff.

You just got to convince them that the coupon has value(both sentimental and monetary) so it doesn't matter that it doesn't have anything to do with them.

But seriously Mr. Google might have some coupons and stuff for that I usually search it whenever I buy something on a website that has a coupon code option in the form.

Whatever man. Those Sleep Number beds are badass.

The key is to make them feel stupid without being rude. This is a skill I aqquired waiting tables lol.

Mine are too intoxicated to understand english, let alone subtle jabs at their expense.

Had one guy try to pay with a baggie of coke...
one guy spent 20mins throwing a fit because his hamburger hadn't come out yet. =/
These two girls didn't have ids so they jumped up on the counter and started stripping...then one fell off and busterher head open...then got bitchy with me once she could...well I wont say think straight.

Sounds like a good time to me. Except for the hamburgler.

This frightens me. I think I shall become a monk somewheres.

I had one guy tell my boss I was discriminating against him because he had tattoos. My boss was there for the whole thing, we had a laugh about it afterwards. I was just tired of the guy not being able to make up his mind. I'm not your mommy, I'm not making your decisions for you.
