"Said You're Burning Up Inside, and No One Seems to Tell..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Soujin: [to Val, a Coworker] And, well, she told me I was dirty because I didn't wash my hair three times a day.
Customer: YOU ARE DIRTY.
Soujin: Ahhhhgh.
Customer: You're FILTHY. I wash my hair three times a day at least! *lifts hat, displaying the fact that he is--completely bald*
Soujin: I don't know if that recommends it, sir.
Customer: It makes it easier to brush.
Soujin: Nevertheless, sir.
Customer: Well, it wasn't just the washing. It was the having children.
Soujin: That explains my daddy.
Customer: It really does. Also my head is incredibly clean.
Soujin: I bet it is, sir.

Soujin: So that's two packs of Marlboro reds and two of Marlboro mediums, ma'am?
Customer: That's right.
Customer's Daughter: Mommy?
Customer: Yes, hon?
CD: How come they sell cigarettes and stuff if it gives you cancer?
Customer: ;____;
Soujin: ;_____;
CD: *expectant look*
Soujin: Well, um, it's for the money, really.
Customer: It really is. It's because they want the money, baby.
CD: Oh.
Customer: And Mommy's addicted. But you won't ever be. Come on, let's go.
Soujin: ... ;________________________;

Soujin: Your total is 2.95, sir.
Customer: *hands over card*
Soujin: Credit or debit?
Customer: Debit.
Soujin: *swipes card*
Soujin's Register: HA HA YEAH RIGHT.
Soujin: ... *swipes card again*
Soujin's Register: :P :P :P :P
Soujin: I'm really sorry, sir, it's not taking it as debit. Can I try it as credit?
Customer: Try that.
Soujin: *swipes card*
Soujin's Register: *gives Soujin the finger*
Soujin: I'm sorry, this really isn't working, for some reason. Do you have another method of payment?
Customer: You're FUCKING INCOMPETENT. *walks out*
Soujin: ...
Soujin's Register: *dances gleefully*
Soujin: ;__________;

Ah yes, it must be because Soujin Is Dumb, and not because technology is evil*. That's proper Mars Logic.

On the other hand, hair-washing guy sounds cute.



* Let alone because the customer has just been Christmas shopping liek woah and has cleaned out his account. Not that, uh. That happened to anybody last night or anything. *whistles*

Good, Bad, Ugly. See, there is method in what I do.

Hair-washing guy was adorable, and called me Miss Soujin.

Ahahaha, bald customer. XDDD

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

He was kind of a L'aigle type, it's true.

[weaselwoman13.livejournal.com]

Did he REALLY SAY THAT TO YOU? Jeez, that's ridiculous and awful. And I thought people were rude where I worked. I bet he was using one of those fake credit cards that credit card companies send you in the mail to advertise, and was upset and frustrated because his clever clever plan didn't work.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

He diiiiiid. But I get it a lot, actually. My theory is that bad roads + Christmas season + the fact that people are usually coming to buy food or cigarettes, so they need their fix + the fact that they have to wait in line = v.v.v.v. short tempers, and the register monkey is a faceless unconnected person it feels okay to take things out on. >_> I try not to mind too much.

[julietveiled.livejournal.com]

...who uses a card - debit OR credit - for $2.95?

[mhari.livejournal.com]

...people too blonde to grab cash on their way out the door? *whistles*

[julietveiled.livejournal.com]

I almost always pay cash for everything. XD (And at my store, I get more people paying in cash for $200-500 purchases than with a card for few-dollar purchases.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I have no cash ever, so I usually have to use my card for everything.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Everybody and his brother, trust me. I get cards for .95 all the time.

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

I try not too, but sometimes it's unavoidable...

And that's, like. 2.29.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I really don't mind. I used to be all 'wtf' but now it's just normal. And it's really no trouble or extra work for me, unless the register decides to reject it, which happens usually v. occasionally.

[theatre-angel.livejournal.com]

Hahaha sigh, life. ♥

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

C'est la vie!

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

*cuddles* You win at life. As the fic I just beta-ed and sent to you proved to me.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*fallsdown* Thank you SO MUCH.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I don't suppose you could resend it in pieces? My e-mail is eating it because it is too long. >_> Sorryyyy.

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

Mine did the same thing--sending it as inline text was MURDER. Is there some kind of attachment that would be good?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

No, actually, it's okay! I somehow got it to come out.

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

Okay. If there's anything I need to clarify, just let me know, aye?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Okay! Thanks so much. <333333 (I am claiming that as my Humanlight gift, just in case you're wondering.)

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay. Cool. ^_^;;; I hope it's a good enough beta job to count as a gift!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Utterly.

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

Kyeye XD "for the money" XDXD Bald guy XDXD People being jerks XDXDXD

... Not so much the last one. More hugs for the last one.

Oh, got your christmas card ^_^ You rock.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

XD You total dork. *lovesonto*

YOU rock. Omg.

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

*hugs* You too!

I rock? What for?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]
