Said the guy who spelled like with two letter I's
People pay with ones all the time at my job, so much that the clip on the $1s bin in my drawer pops up any time I open the register. I would complain about it but I don't get paid to complain about having too many bills in the register. I get paid to serve alcohol to minors and smoke joints out back on my break.
lmao @ grammar and sentence smack.
i always laugh when people bring up that
Yeah it's funny because that's all the smack he can bring...
He can't think of anything smart to say, so he whips out his spell checker...
Oh chill out..
i hate when i miss all the action.
Wow, that got out of hand quickly.
I've worked retail, mostly as a supervisor. But I've had to run a register, and I usually had to help count drawers at the end of the night Counting large sums of small bills is annoying. Angel's initial post pretty much said she was annoyed. That is perfectly reasonable. She didn't complain or refuse to the customer, she just wanted to vent ever so slightly about it later. Each and every one of you would have done exactly the same thing, so the "do your f$@#ing job" rhetoric can probably be dialed down just a tad.
How it spiraled into ruminations on parenting and professionalism I have no idea, and I have no particular stance or comment except for this. Angel is right about one thing, working in retail changes your perspective on the people you deal with day to day. There are good employees and bad employees, but they are all real people mostly just trying to get through the day without a customer yelling at them. And being yelled at because someone is trying to save 50 cents on a box of file folders is never any fun. I have the experience to back that one up.
I don't work in retail anymore, and I'm pretty satisfied with the decision to move on. But it taught me some pretty decent lessons, and whenever I'm buying something in the store, I try to be polite with the workers, maybe even smile every now and then. Just remember that they're people too.
Firstly, this thread is chock full of win.
Secondly, it has reminded me of a hilarious story from my days working in residential property management. We had a tenant who was pissed because we wouldn't send the exterminator out to to clean up her filthy unit (again), so she used her rent check to kill two roaches. They were still squished to the back of the check when we got it. I went through about five bottles of Purell when I was done, but I still had to write a receipt. And the people at the bank still had to deposit it.
The OP's vent is perfectly legit; unfortunately, she left herself wide open for this firestorm by directing her frustration at the customer's lack of professionalism and courtesy, instead of where it should have been directed which was her dislike of counting small bills.
Furthermore, the ruminations on parenting were also initiated by the OP. And as much as her beliefs may be heartfelt, she once again misdirected her frustration which is her dislike of counting small bills.
Working in retail, as in any field where the public is involved, certainly changes one's perspective of the people one deals with. It does not, however, relieve one of introspection and responsibility when dealing with those people, even when one dislikes counting small bills.
This thread is hilarious!
But seriously Angel, is this the most amount of money you've had to count? If so that is cake counting! Most cashiers count thousands daily in change and small bills with no problem. I did that for some time and it was the easiest job i've ever had.. sorry to say.
1, 2, 3, 4...
1, 2, 5, 9, 3, 14, 47, 21, 8....
Damnit, stop! , I lost count.
I should probably stop reading this thread. It's making me think mean things.
Angel saying "eleventy" out loud, for one.
blaze still owes 4cc 20 susan b anthonys from two years ago
That is what I wondered. When I was in college I was the weekend bookkepper for a retail store in San Antonio, and I had to count out every register from Saturday, balance them all out, do the deposits... I counted thousands and thousands of dollars every time. IIRC, we would do about $40,000- $50,000 business on a Saturday, and it was my job alone. My favorite was the person who wrote two checks, each for less than a $1, in the same business day. Are cashiers so spoiled by the customers running their own credit cards through the machine, signing it themselves on the pad, and just having to hand them a receipt?
HAHA... I was thinking the same !
I thought I paid that off at Bennigan's.
Apparently, too difficult for you.
And I'm not referring to Angel_Luv, so much as I am referring to just doing IT.
I thought the ATM wasn't working.
Blaze gave the money to me and I gave it to the Animal Defense League in honor of that time Mookie threw those puppies out into the middle of the highway.
that was 4cc, that story got out before he lost his bid for county commisioner.
might have cost him the election
little helpless puppies
allthat
