| 22nd July 2010: Take Our Stock. And Our Supervisor. Tonight has been interesting. Lots of The Bombshell stropping around the store because he has new tasks to do, and we have little else to do tonight because we're in the middle of a stocktake. It takes forever! But it does mean we can't work much, because they have to check the quality and quantity of everything in the store by hand. A long job. Which mostly leaves serving customers. The first customer I had was an Entitled girl. I loved bringing her down to Earth with a bump! So, she swaggers up to the till, throws a pasty on the counter and asks for king size silver rizlas. Uh huh, because you want to make superking rollups? Anyway, so she looks about 16, so I ask her for ID. She yells at me that she is 21. I shrug and say that I have her word for it only. She sighs and tells me not to be funny, so I tell her that I am just doing my job. So she slams her hand on the counter and says "Yeah, whatever, forget it mate!" I'm here to serve customers, not take abuse, and not deal with childrens temper tantrums. Anyway, she was back about an hour later and threw a pasty on the counter, after unsuccessfully trying to dodge me several times. I served her and she asked for king size silver Rizlas again. So I asked her for ID. She threw her driving licence at me, which confirmed she was actually 21. I handed it back and she pulled a face and said "See! Told you I was 21! F*ck's sake!" As I said to Miss C, I am used to abuse when I ID people. The best one I ever got and recieved was a guy who had no ID so screamed at me "Yeah mate? Yeah? Well you're f*cking ugly. You ugly f*cking c*nt! What do you think about that? Eh?" I smiled sweetly and said "What do I think? Not much. But I know I have cigarettes and you don't." He literally just screamed at me and left. Funniest experience of my working career. Permalink Tags: ID Cards, Stocktake, Entitled |
