I used to work at a movie theater where the box office is inside the actual building and not windowed like most normal theaters. The biggest YFI is when people would forego looking at the HUGE MARQUEE ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING or even the poster cases. They'd come up to the box office and ignore the posting of the shows and showtimes directly visible while standing in line only to ask me face-to-face "what's playin'?"

I think it's mostly due to the low literacy rates in rural Oklahoma.

girl in an obscenely low-cut tank top doing her senior project just asked me what an essay is. i had to ask her to repeat the question like 3 times bc i was SURE that couldn't be what she really meant. eventually she added "i know it's a word for what YOU write but i mean the ones other people write," which is the kind of clarification that only worsens things me. i think she's a lewis carroll character imo. her senior project theme is "life is cruel, but there's a bright side" or something. agahghahah

Confession: three different times customers have asked me for a book, "it's something like 1849", and my mind starts recalling various non-fiction history books that have the year in the title. Sooner or later, someone I work with will say, "1984?", and the customer will have no idea how stupid we both just were.

I believe I told gaspanic this once before: this guy (I got the impression right away that he was his high school's starting quarterback) says:
"I'm looking for a book, like Beloved?"
"Oh, by Toni Morrison?"
"Yeah, that's the dude. Have you read it?"
"Yeah, I didn't like it that much."
"What's it about?"
"Well, it's largely about the effects of slavery, also the feminine perspective..."
"Oh, weird that a guy wrote a book that's on that perspective."

I had a "holy shit society is screwed" moment while waiting in line for Taco Bell today. The girl behind the register was counting change when suddenly she looked confused and just left the register for a minute. The whole time the register was open and if I was an immoral person I could have walked away with 200 bucks in my pocket. She then comes back with a more experienced worker where the elder worker explains how to count out 82 cents of change.

On top of that, when I go to order I say my order clear, simple, and strait to the point....

Me: Number seven with chicken and soft taco please
Her: A number what?
Me: Seven, chicken, soft taco please
Her: Oh, a number 7. (looks down at chart, looks up, looks down at chart) with chicken, beef or steak
Me: chicken with a soft taco please
Her: Do you want a hard or soft taco
Me: Soft please
Her: Taco?
Me: Yes, soft taco please
Her: Wait, what number was that again?

Thank god I was using a card so she wouldn't have to spend 3 minutes figuring out that 2 quarters, a dime, and a penny make 61 cents. However it took her a minute to understand my answer to her credit or debit question (debit please). I've never been more scared of the future in my life.

it's weird to see my name in an autosignature.

That's how I always felt when someone would yell at me when I worked at a convenience store.

Congratulations, you just told off a young employee of KwikMart.

well, in pointy's defense, that girl was pretty stupid.

I've learned to expext nothing from any place with a dollar menu. I figure I'm not paying for any kind of service.

X:If you could be a superhero, which one would you be?
TB: Jesus...
X: Jesus wasn't a superhero.
TB: He wasn't?
X: No.
TB: Ok then....uh....Teen Wolf
X: nevermind

they're getting paid by the hour anyway, the more customer that walk away frustrated and/or angry is one less they have to serve

did i miss something? it didn't sound to me like he did anything except clarify what he wanted, repeatedly. the minimum wage excuse is total bullshit imo. that should be even more reason to want to do a reasonably good job. i'm not saying i'm all for bitching out these ppl, but that's not what pointer did, unless i just misread him.
