Well my last day got postponed to a week later cos apparently the store's short of people. Thus i leave on the 25+7=32nd of june.
oh alright. its actually the 2nd of july. who am i fooling?
Whatever it is, I'm glad I'm still here at the moment, these two days being staff appreciaiton day. We appreciate staff by giving out extra discounts on everything in the store.
I appreciate that, damn right i do. I spent like more than 250 bucks today and i still have a basketfull of books awaiting purchase.
My bestest buy was a Chronicles of Narnia boxset for $29. I've been wanting a set since i was like, 8, so it really is a good deal.
AND my most whatthehellgirldontwasteyourmoney buy was a little pretty aluminium case for contact lenses with a weeny mirror. super pretty, and all of 9 dollars. Considering i have at least 2 equally functional (though somewhat less sleek and show-offable) ugly blue and white similar objects at home (free with lens solution!!) i really have no reason at all to be owning that thing. Ah well sue me.
I also served the ultimate of annoying customers today. Or rather, half of my pair of customers was annoying.
ha i threw that in just to annoy you too It was basically this woman and her daughter getting a bunch of books. And when i see customers getting a sufficiently large pile i usually tell them to leave it till next week when there's a 20% discount thing happening. And so I tell the mother this,and she goes, ok, lets put the books back. And this annoying teenage daughter of hers just grabs all the books and chucks them on the display shelf behind her. Like, hello? in full view of everyone at the cashier no less.
And then i notice there's this one book left on the counter so i ask if she wants to get it next week too. Turns out the book is the daughters.
"girl you want to get the book next week?"
"But then i have to waaaiiiit......"
(all said in a whine)"But its 20% cheaper"
"So its only a fewwww dollarssssss!!!!! Please lahhhhhh"
roll eyes, bored look, the works) Considering her book cost at least $35, 20% would be at least $7, which isn't actually that "fewwwww". Its what you would have if you actually managed to save the proverbial dollar a day. Plus i think we owe some basic courtesy to the person who pays for our books, if nothing else.
After which her mother has finished with paying for the rest of the stuff, those being other books already on some form of discount, and when i hand the bag over this annoying little person grabs the bag, pulls out her own book, chucks everything else to her mother and stomps off.
Bloody rude. and
what a selfish little bitch! i hope she's reading this at this precise moment .
What i found really ironic was the the book this girl was getting (and she aint a little kid, she can't be anywhere far from my age) was some christian youth qp by dctalk and the girl in question was all decked out in a silver cross on a black choker and whatnot.
Its amazing how hypocritical the whole christianity -> lets say religiousness, actually -> issue can get. The way this girl was acting was like taking the very core of her religion and throwing it back in the face of God. The Bible goes
honour thy parents and
love one another and where exactly in between these two phrases do you fit in? And how can anyone respect the religion you stand for if you as a representative of your religion do not act in a way deserving of respect?
and my opinions are my own so as a disclaimer,
leave my company outta this
