And My Rage Issues At the Grocery Store Continue...

So we all know I can be very angry sometimes. Like when I first get woken up. Or when I'm working. When I wake up you definitely know I'm angry. When I'm working, I try very hard to hide the fact that I want to take the annoying people and push their faces into my turntable. Here's a few more of those individuals that I would like to add to my list I started yesterday.

Customer #1- Smoker Lady. Although this woman wasn't technically annoying, I swear she has smoked for the past 300 years of her life. She wreaked of it, she looked leathered. You know the type of person I'm talking about. Anyways, she comes through my line tonight. Has the voice of a smoker, although this didn't surprise me because I expected it from the moment I saw her. I've never heard a smoker voice quite that bad. I had no idea what the crap she was saying. Granted, she did have a Southern accent that added to this problem. It was very awkward. I think she kept making jokes (honestly I have no idea). I just figured when she smiled I would smile back and laugh. I hope I didn't laugh about something sad like her best friend dying or something.

Customer #2- Isn't a specific person but is more a characteristic. Usually is found in older people and young children. What is aforementioned characteristic? Pushing groceries forward. I know their trying to be all helpful but I promise you that I will not forget your Twinkies on the end or whatever else you have put on the turntable. When you push everything on the turntable forward it creates a sort of traffic jam and things are more likely to fall on the floor (which you will of course yell at me for because it's obviously my fault you can't wait 3 freaking seconds). I understand sometimes people are in a hurry, but please if it's already busy your checker is stressed out to the max trying to go as fast as they possibly can. Just wait. If you're really in a hurry, ask your checker to move the turntable if you need more room. Don't shove your things closer to the checker. It makes me want to shove you.

Customer #3- Fat Boy Man. This man comes through my line tonight and gets 2 boxes of Fat Boys. Easy right? No! Of course not. He slides his card and I push the button for his card to go through. He chooses to tell me that the price is wrong after his transaction is processing. I run back to the freezer section to check the price. He was right. In the meantime he is standing at my checkstand, signs his name on the little machine and then hits enter. His transaction goes through. I get back to the checkstand, tell him he is right, he tells me that he didn't touch the machine but it magically went through. I tell him I am sorry but there is no way for me to correct the price now and that he has to go to customer service if he wants a refund. He gives me his crustiest look and tells me that he doesn't have time to do that because his Fat Boys will melt. Seriously? There's no line at customer service the longest possible time it will take to get a refund is 2 minutes. He then goes to customer service giving me crusties the whole time.

Customer #4- This isn't an annoying customer but rather an amazing one. These people came through my line tonight with twenty 24 packs of Pepsi products. How many is that? I keep trying to figure this out in my head but it's been a while since I was in a math class. I just cheated and used the calculator. Guess how many. 480! That is a buttload of pop. They totally beat out the people that came through with 144 Monsters. That's insane.

On a side note, I do have a life outside of groceries. I finally came around and decided to get a Netflix instead of just loading up on it while I was staying at my sister's house. I watched You Again, which I totally loved. If any of you have every thought of sabotaging your brother's wedding, I suggest watching it. Plus I'm always a Kristen Bell fan. Then I decided to watch Moulin Rouge. Retarded. I usually am a sucker for musicals. I have to admit I did love most of the songs but the whole story line with the hooker dying. I don't know, it just wasn't my cup of tea. I should have just skipped the movie and listened to the Elephant Love Medley. I have a slight obsession with that song right now. Listened to it like 8 times yesterday. I think it's Ewan Macgregor's voice. I love it.

Which brings me to my next point. Music. I'm one of those people that go through phases with music. I find a song that I totally love. Play it 12 times in a row everyday for like a week. Then I move on to a new song. What have my obsession songs been lately? Yesterday was Elephant Love Medley. Today has been Country Girl (Shake it For Me) and Barefoot Blue Jean Night. I don't know what is wrong with me but I've been on a country kick that I just can't beat. I think it has to do with my obsession with rodeos and county fairs. Speaking of which, the week of the county fair you could hear Garth Brooks' "Rodeo" and Toby Keith's "Should Have Been a Cowboy" playing at any time my Ipod was on. Coincidence? I think not. Now I just need to find some good road trip music for my trip to Missouri. :)

This Little Lame Blogger...

Hello everyone! Evidently I am a horrible blogger because I have not updated in a year! I know, I know. I'll try and be better. Not that I do that much but you know, sometimes I just feel like writing about the stupid people that come to groceries stores or bragging about my precious puppy. I have a few "favorite people" that come through my line. Customer #1. Crazy paper bag lady. This woman actually brings in her own paper bags for you to use. Yeah, just in case that isn't infuriating, she only brings in two of them. She then buys a buttload of groceries and expects me to fit everything in them. Of course, this is physically impossible so she yells at me "helpful" advice. Really she just yells at me telling me what an idiot I am so the whole store can hear. Love her. Customer #2. The man that slightly looks like a hobo. Comes in every Friday night... like 12 times. For what you ask? Bud Light. The big bottle kind. And Fortuna 100s (for those of you that don't know,those are his favorite kind of cigs) These are just a few of my faves. I'm actually just having a brain fart and can't think of anyone else that comes through. Bye :)
