Not Much To Say
Feb. 6th, 2007 11:47 pmWork was beyond annoying -- our shirt company is really dropping the ball. Some lady's shirts got misplaced (looked all over for them), and another woman who's already been screwed over by them just got ANOTHER wrong shirt. Not to mention some guy's alterations haven't come in either. . . . How long does it take our seamstress to sew a button on a shirt? And I get to deal with them while they're getting pissy. . . .
Not to mention the most annoying customer EVER. I dread whenever this guy comes in. He's an older fellow, with a hearing aid -- not that it does him much good. I practically have to shout whenever he comes in. And he doesn't seem to understand ANYTHING. He'll just grin at you. He was picking up some pants today, and I told him the price:
Me: That's 9.52 please.
Him: What?
Me: 9.52.
Him: 10.52? *starts getting out money* I have all these ones.
Me: Er, NINE and 52. . .
Him: *pulls out a 20, then starts pulling out ones* 52 you said?
Me: Yes, NINE FIFTY-TWO.
Him: *counts out six and hands them to me, smilesmile*
Me: *counts to make sure it is six* It's NINE FIFTY TWO.
Him: *gives me another dollar to make seven, then two pennies, then finally two more dollars to make nine as I prompt him* Do you need two more pennies?
Me: *desperately trying to be polite* Two quarters.
Him: *just stares, then gives me another dollar*
Me: FINALLY *puts sale through, gives him fifty cents, move onto next customer*
The really scary part?
This guy DRIVES. God forbid he's ever pulled over. . . .
Fanfiction update -- got two pages done on "From the Ashes Reborn" -- however, the business of the store coupled with the problem customers prevented me from doing any "Boy Genius." I'm gonna try and work on Chapter 9 tonight though, TeenDoc. Or at least clean up the file with all the text I won't be using.
-HD: How about "Marty in Wonderland?"-
-VD: Or "V.D.?" You were making some progress there before?-
I'm up to one of my favorite Alice sequences in MiW -- the Lobster Quadrille! And I'll try for more edits tonight, yeah.
