weirdos.

it’s been a while since my last post! i’ve been busy enjoying life, and working too. gotta save up some money. but things have gotten better. remember how i told you about those family issues and such, well it’s getting into place. maturity finally decided to show up in the mind of some people, and it’s kinda relieving. i was about to lose hope. and work is okay. though i have a few stories for you. and i decided that this is what the post is gonna be about. things that happen at work. some weirdos we have to deal with on a daily basis.

story #1
today a customer was checking out, and what he bought came up to 12.55 with taxes. the original price of the item was 20$ and there was a discount, 40% off or something. then with the taxes added the final price was 12.55 and when i tell the customer how much the total is he complains at me:
- wasn’t there 40% off?
- mmm… yeah, the original was 20$ and now it’s 12.55.
- why 12.55 ?
- ??? the taxes ???
- k. i don’t want them. pff. wtvs.
i really don’t see how a difference of about a dollar could make someone upset, or why someone would even be surprised at taxes. not like it’s some new thing we have. we always had sale taxes. anyway. it was some good laughs.

story #2
a customer ask this girl i work with if we had this one scarf in green. and she looked it up on the computer and let him know that no we didn’t. he then asked if it was possible to call another store to see if they have it. she picks up the phone to do it and the man says “hope i’m not bugging you too much miss -her name-” with a annoyed tone. and the whole time she was on the phone calling the other store to find out he was just there standing in front of her cuddling and kissing his wife. it was kinda disturbing. she was so annoyed. especially when the guy told her to “forget about it miss -her name-” right after she got the answer from the person at the other store…

story #3
this man comes up to me and asks me what fabric this one dress shirt is made off. i look at the tag inside and tell him it’s 100% cotton. he then looks at me with a disgusted face and tells me: “huh, i don’t wear cotton. i don’t like it. i don’t own anything that’s cotton. so i don’t want it, just keep it. k. thanks.” and then storms out the store. i hope he’s well aware that more than 90% of the clothing made in the world has cotton…

story #4
this customer asks me to look at the tag inside his pants in order to know what brand they are. i stare at him a little traumatized and let him know that he can just go in a fitting room to do it himself. he then says he’s in a hurry and pulls out the tag, exposing half his butt, and tells me to look. i try to see the name of the brand from afar, and don’t see one. so i tell him that i just can’t see a brand, then he looks at me like i’m the stupidest person in the world and leaves. i’m not the one who doesn’t even know the brand of my own pants!

so these are some of the things that happen at work. i’m not complaining. it makes it all that much more entertaining and fun! but sometimes it’s a little depressing to deal with people who act clueless…

oh, and i got these shoes today. i needed some new shoes for the gym, and just for spring/summer in general. i’m happy that they’re lacoste, and not some brand like nike, that’d be little generic and a little 1999 too. you’re allowed to dislike them, i know they’re kinda very white.. but i like them, it’s all that matters!

i’m so over winter, and it’s far from being over. i despise it!!! too bad i’m not moving to a warm country to university. i was planning on actually doing it, but it didn’t end up working out. i’m happy with my new decision though, almost happier! i’ll just deal with winter. at least i’m not staying in montreal.
