That isn't a conveyor belt. It is in fact a countertop made out of some unearthly substance. Placing objects at the far end of my counter will result in them sitting there, proud and aloof, until you move them into my arm range.

Oh, and to the customer who grabbed for the box sitting on my counter. Surprise! When we were slow I was helping out the Wine Dude by trimming price cards. Thanks to you being a bigger Klutz than a Giants infielder, I had little slivers of laminate all over my floor! Believe me, when you then asked if you could have a box for your three bottles of wine, I took great pleasure in saying no.

Lady, the 9' striped umbrellas are gone. We sold out a week ago. No more came. Asking me twice, the other cashier once, the manager once, and then hanging around the bin for 45 minutes will not result in the magical appearance of a big, ugly umbrella.

Attention all customers! Next person who asks me if (insert high-priced piece of furniture) is part of the flea marker, and therefore 50% off, will be fed to crazed ferrets on speed.

Why yes sir, the aisles in this store are awfully narrow.. when you bring in a bloody Toys'R'Us SUV-sized cart!

Finally.. no ma'am, I will not show you where the bloody Thai spices are.. since I'm carrying a cash drawer to the back! I've got over $600 in cash here, genius!

I don't work tomorrow. Thank Ghu.

Off to feed the ferrets more meth.

The joys of customer service and of retail.

Last time I worked retail, I lived for the thought of putting handcuffs on someone.

"Crazed Ferrets on Speed"

Weren't they a '90's speed metal band? or were they an 80's ska outfit? ( I think i saw them on "The Young Ones" once...

You have my sympathies.

I'm pretty friendly with one of the cashiers at th Albertson's next store. And if I run into her when things are slow we exchange comments about the *DUMB* customers.

Lately, it's mostly folks who can't follow the instructions on the self-service checkout lanes. There are 4 of them with one checker to help and handle glitches. She gets stuff as said checker often.

One night she told me that I was the *only* person that shift who hadn't messed up using them. Yeesh!
