Hey there! Yeah it's been awhile, but I was working extra hours for my department lead and letting the stories kind of build up so there's more to write about..

Halloween wasn't really that active per say, a lot of people around and about, but in general it seems the stupid was too involved in getting sugar highs already, or they weren't out from under the rock yet.


While at work...
Male customer approaches me and asks if it's supposed to be taking a dollar off if he's using his debit card. I've never heard of it happening before although I do know each card charges differently, and I tell him it's probably something the card does, when he informs me "I've been coming here for years and it's never done this before", so I suggest moving to another gas pump for his transaction.
He walks off muttering and doesn't move anywhere else, he proceeds to pump gas and stops it at exactly $1.00, comes back to me and yells "It took my money!". I'm thinking to myself well duh you used your card and pumped gas, although I'm not sure why it's stopped at just a dollar.
He wouldn't let it go, tells me I need to get it fixed because he just got ripped off and then sits in his car for about half an hour before leaving. Normally when this happens I go out and put a bag on the pump so another customer won't have a problem, but I didn't leave the building because I don't know what this person might do and it's not worth it to be attacked physically.

Later that same day a female approaches me to complain because she's not getting any gas at her pump. I kept asking her what was going on and she says "the damned thing won't come on", which made me go out to see what is going on.
Here I am standing in front a pump and waiting for her to come over while she's rambling on about just turn the damn thing on. I can't do that because our system is prepay only and tell her this,. "I've never had to pay before I pump ever, what are you trying to do here", my response "I'm trying to help you at this pump are you going to come over here and try it again with your card?"
I get called a smart ass and know it all, so I stand there by her car waiting while she's standing at the building insisting I turn the pump on.
I got fed up and went back inside the building and tell her "ma'am at this window you prepay, out there you pay at the pump. This is prepay only here and yelling for me to turn it on won't get it turned on. If you want help then go back to where your car is so I can help you, and then take care of the other customers here too".  She screams go to hell and gets in her car and drives away, only to find out from a phone call that she went inside to complain on me that I told her to go to hell and get in her car and leave.

That kind of bullshit pisses me off when someone is that ignorant they can't do anything but point a finger, blame you and say you did or said something you didn't. Usually I refuse to help them after that happens because that kind of person will always twist truth to serve their purpose and they can fuck off and rot for all I care.

Last week, our gas prices dropped by a substantial amount and a customer asked me three times in a row if that price was a joke? What's the catch? I stopped telling her after the second time she asked me that, while informing her that the manager had just come out and changed gas prices and it's the real deal, because I could see that she was so far gone in her stupid nothing would snap her out of it.
What I wanted to say is trick or treat, spin the wheel, see if you get that lucky prize of cheap gas or give me $5, but I refrain from doing such things because stupid has no sense of humour.
Shaking my head at this one.

Around the apartments, we've had two new tenants move in since the end of November so basically in a 9-10 day time frame it's gotten louder because they are white trash and don't know a level of conversation below 2000.
Already pestering both me and the hubby over cigarettes and how long we live here, how much we pay for rent. I'm only friendly if you give me time to get used to your bubbly over-eager ass, or I see you're like me and enjoy distance with a few hellos along the way and maybe in time a conversation or two happens. What the hell business is it of anyone's to be asking me "do you live around here", while I'm taking my garbage out to the dumpster when they saw me walk out of my apartment.
I didn't even bother looking because that's just stupid to ask if you see where I walk from.
Knocking on my door to ask me if i know where a piece of mail goes? I don't care, stick it up your ass for all I care...omg now I'm rude! No shit Sherlock, you knocked at my door, you don't know who I am, and ask me if I know about someone's mail that clearly you took out of a mailbox at my building, so now I have to tell all my neighbors, thankfully there's only 3 of them, to keep an eye because we have a nosey fuck looking in the boxes now. I do believe that one is gonna get bit or scratched for being somewhere he doesn't belong and it will only be a matter of days or weeks before it happens.
If I make a phone call to the owner to complain (they only get two chances and that spends one) because other than a guy in the back, me and hubby are the second apartment tenants to live here the longest so when we complain it's legitimate.

Let's see back to work:

Two days ago:
Some of our customers are mentally handicapped and require assistance, however this one woman who comes and yells at her daughter for everything, almost got told to fuck off after she yelled at me  over the way the gas was dispensed out of the pump. I went out to the car after I became aware that there was some help needed and found a mouthy bitch going on and on about what kind of bullshit is this the pump jumped from $14 to $20 and she paid for $20 in gas..who do I think I am ripping people off..blahblahblah "you sorry bastard". I walked off her in the middle of her blathering because I know this woman is batshit crazy and she's still ranting about it and flipping the bird at me, which makes me shake my head and laugh. Poor idiot, she truly is one, should be put out her child's misery by being institutionalized..but that's few and far between these days. That bitch seriously needed to be put away, special hug me jacket, but she doesn't get the therapy cactus, she can hug a barbed wire teddy bear.
Ain't I sweet?! blech

This one happened yesterday...
Woman comes up to me at the window and asks for a $50 bill and I tell her I don't have one.
"Well why not, nobody in the store has one either! What's wrong with you people? Is it too much to ask for a simple $50 bill my god you would think I was asking for gold or something!"
my response "ma'am I can't vouch for the store but I drop my large bills in the till, go to a check cashing place to get a bill like that. usually people want to break one down not ask for one" and then laughed as she walks off . I had to ask a co worker if that really happened because I've never seen anyone throw a hissy fit because they couldn't get a large bill. It's usually the other way around when one can't be broke down but this woman was bent and then says there's something "wrong" with us because she can't get what she wants.
whatever sister...fuck that noise, go sell it to someone who gives a shit.


this is that 1% from dealing with customer service that makes a sane person want to go a village raid and kill all the idiots because they're crossbreeding antics keeps the stupid alive...
grrrgrrrrgrrr
okay i'm over it..

*muahs*
