So.  Story not from today, but from the very recent past.

I was in the bathroom at work, washing my hands.  Right, then.  Next to me wanders up an older Korean lady (one of our regulars; I've seen her before).  And she looks over at me.  And looks.  And looks.

By this time I have finished washing my hands and have now opted to stand awkwardly.

And the ( Read more... )

Also: I bought scorpion floor mats for my car.  Yes, I am a loser.  They look like this:

Two crazy customer stories for tonight (not from today, but from within the last week).

First: I'm up front with a cashier.  We're the only ones, because man oh man is it a slow day.  Lady checks out, wanders off for a few minutes, and then comes back furious because she can't find her keys.

Today: new userpic! Um. Because I was bored. And had access to baby books. Um. Well, all right, then.

So, got a snippet.  Just a scene, really.  A conversation.  And it's admittedly not very good, but it was stuck in my head and wouldn't come out, so here it is, to inflict upon y'all.

Title: Gin and Ingenuity

So.  Had a strange moment at work the other day, which I shall share, accordingly.

An older sort of lady came in to do a return, which consisted of a pack of men's socks, still wrapped and with the stickers and everything on.  Fine, fine.  No receipt, but we can do returns without them, if they don't mind store credit.

So the cashier goes to scan the ( Read more... )
