Guess it was only a matter of time.

Today was apparently my day for idiots. First off, the loud combo lady. I'll give her that it was early in the morning and I was still a touch groggy, but that's no reason to be a jerk.

Lady: *comes up, orders Starburst for Kid A and Kid B and one medium drink* *discusses getting popcorn with kids*

Me: If you get the medium popcorn to make it a number three (medium popcorn and medium drink) combo, the candy is discounted. *pushes the combos like a good little salesperson*

Lady: All right, I'll do that.

Me: *fetches a medium popcorn, the rings her up*

Lady: *pays and goes to condiment table* *comes back thirty seconds later* Where's [Kid B's] popcorn?

Me: What?

Lady: I told you three times! We wanted two combos with the candies. *thrusts reciept in my face*

Me: *lost* I'm sorry, I didn't understand.

Lady: You said the candy was included in the cost of the combo! You didn't explain it well enough!

Concession manager: *comes over to see what's going on*

Lady: I told her three times that I wanted the combos. *nearly shrieking at this point*

Me: *scurries to get the medium popcorn* And what did you want for the soda?

Lady: Sprite. I told you three times! And how much am I paying for the other combo? *annoyed tone* I'll guess I'll just get that. *thrusts credit card at me*

Me: *rings up, resisting the urge to scream* Enjoy your movie.

Lady: You need to explain yourself better.

Me: I'm sorry about the misunderstanding. *barest tiny hint of anger, making claw hands beneath the counter*

Lady: *stomps off*

Me: Aargh!

And then I am turned on by a fellow employee later on. Wait, that came out wrong. I mean they turned on me...you know what I mean!

Employee woman: *comes over to concessions* I need someone strong to help move the ladder (a cherry-picker like structure. Large, but on wheels so it is easy to move).

Me: Mememe! *holds up hand*

Woman: No, I need a boy.

Me: ...oh, hell no. *runs out from behind concessions to help*

Woman: *stands in my way* No, we don't need a female.

Me: *mild cursing* *ignores and goes past, grabbing on to the ladder. Because I am secretly a big burly man who takes hormones.*

Woman: *groans and leaves*

And all this in the scant four hours I worked today.

You should crosspost this to customers_suck. *grin*

Finally had a good reason for posting.

That sounds to me like she was looking for an excuse to be on her own with a male employee, for various reasons of her own. Or do I just have a one-track, suspicious little mind? :P *cuddles and offers chocolate*

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

I doubt it. She wasn't involved in the actual hauling, they just needed one or two people to help direct and pull it at the front while the guy in the back pushed.

That plus she was 45-50 or so and most concessioneers are around 18.

I submit that the age sounds like a reason for me to be right, but. ;P Okay, so I've been subjected to too many telly soaps. And I have a one-track mind. ;)

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

This is true. *grins*

And I need a favor from you. I was wondering if I could put up the 20_inkspots stuff in my new DevArt account (so it won't be so empty), but if you want to let me use your pic, I need permission.

I have permission to use someone else's work in my deviation. Now what?

Providing proof of permission
According to official deviantART policy you must obtain express, written, and verifiable permission to include artwork or photographs belonging to a third party in one of your own creations.

Once you have successfully contacted the proper owner you should do the following;

Create a new .zip file with a copy of your deviation and the permission you recieved from the copyright holder bundled together. If it's an email / note, you can put it in any text format - .txt, .doc, .rtf - just be certain that it details the permission and includes the necessary contact information so that we may verify the document on demand.

Only if you are interested, of course.

Of course! Do you want me to send an email with permission, or shall I just write something here and you can link it as well as c-n-p'ing it? (There's a half-finished Thrustpic for your fic up on my photobucket account as well, I don't know if you saw it - I just need to add his wings in, but tell me if you like it or not)

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

I loved the pic. Was very good.

An email will be good, I think.

the ones with children are the ones to look out for.

This I've noticed.
