Dear friends,
A lot happened at work yesterday morning. So to begin, the cash register at our job always starts with 150$. Whatever ends up exceeding 150$ at the end of the day is obviously removed for a deposit at the bank. So there was this crazy customer who wants to claim his prize. But I mean, he was literally my first customer.
crazy old man: I want to claim my prize. I have won 250$.
me: I'm afraid I can't give you 250$ because I only have a maximum of 150$. Maybe you can come back again later.
crazy old man: I don't have time later on. I want it now.
me: It's not that I don't want to give it to you but I just can't. I don't have enough to give you.
crazy old man: Print me how much I can win when I have 5 numbers on banco.
me: I can't print that...I don't think my machine can print that.
crazy old man: What do you mean that you can't? People do print that for me all the time.
me: *How can that possible?*
Then I notices he was holding some kind of form in his hand.
me: Sir, you already have the information in your hand. I don't have to print it.
crazy old man: Where?
So I point at his paper and he hands it to me. I show him where to get the information and I can tell you that he did look pretty stupid.
crazy old man: I can't see clearly because I just had an eye surgery.
me:...It says that you won 250$.
crazy old man: Now pay me.
me: ...Like I said before, I can't pay you now because I only 150$. What is it that you don't understand?
What is this? Anyway, that was the first event but not the last one unfortunately. So the second event was simply a misadventure on my part. We have this interact machine where you can pay the bill with debit card. So this customer has a total of 48$ to pay. Sure! No problem! When I turn around to grab the electronic device, that's when I noticed it is not working. What!? I check the electric plug and it does look fine but it was the cord for the connection which is hanging there. I must of have tripped over and accidently unplugged it. So there I was on the floor looking for the plug connection. @_@ But I find absolutely nothing. I searched for a couple of minutes without success. I explain the situation to customer and told him I will be calling for my boss for assistance. It was 10h30 am so I figured that she must be already up. So when I call her, all I could hear was "The line you're calling is unavailable at this time. Please try later." Are you serious? My head is tilted down thinking about a solution. What do I see? A connected mini box but with nothing connected on the other side. =_=' Great! I rapidly announce that I have finally found the plug and that was a happy ending.
Now this is surely the last and most shocking event that ever happened during my work shift...now remember these happened all in the same day. So I have this female customer who comes to buy often so I happen to remember her face. She's simply a lady in her fifties and she always wear a grey t-shirt and her hair tied up as a pony tail. So she bought few lotteries to scratch and went somewhere nearby. Another popular costumer comes to buy lotteries. A man in his sixties who's very kind. Well both of them are kind. As long as I remain polite and do my job, people are fine in return. So when the male customer was done, he stared at the lady and told her: "Welfare people scratch a lot huh?" Oh my goodness!
The first thing that happened was my eyes being wide open due to shock. What the hell? Why would he say that? She didn't do anything and whether she's on welfare or not, it's none of his business and has nothing to do with us. That's a very personal thing. I swear she was mad! She had that murderous look on her face. She points the finger at him and says: "Shut the hell up!" Wow! This happened way to quickly. All I could do was to cover my mouth due to shock. I look at the man with that "What the f*ck?" look and he just smiled at me. Lol! What? Even the Chinese guy waiting in the line behind them was in shock. lol. That was soo random. Soon after, the lady bought once last thing and angrily left. Damn! Even I was nervous when I was giving her what she ordered. It's only when she left that the other male customer came to me.
me: Why did you say that? Do you know each other?
him: *smiles* I just don't like her. Last time, she got arrested by the police because she invited a man in the bathroom!
me: What!?
This is insane. One shock after another. Anyways, it was a long a weekend and a lot happened at home as well but that will be revealed next post. so take care! :)
