It is not fair if I only mentioned the strange behavior of my customers. Most customers are nice. In Vegas, people called me "baby," "sweetheart," "love," etc. One or two customers gave me the candy they bought, like the guy who wanted to take money with his debit card. I told him he needs to buy something. Since the upsale of the month, something the cashier has to promote, is a candy bar I offered that to him. He took the money but didn't want the candy.

Pocky

Customers are not easy to please. I helped one today that bought 5 Pocky snacks. Her bag was full, I organized it carefully. Afraid that the snacks woulf fall off, I put them at the bottom and on top I put two bags of candy. Later she came back saying I charged her 7. I told her the 6th one was scanned accidently, therefore I voided it. I showed her that on the 7th there was a minus sign next to it. Then she said that she only found 4 boxes of Pocky so I gave her another one, although I am sure her grandkid who went along with her must have ate it. I didn't find it left on my counter and there's no way it fell off unless the bag has a hole on the bottom.

Day 2

People are reluctant to buy stamps at the post office, they say the lines are longer than at DMV. The store where I work sells Forever stamps at the same price as the post office. Yesterday an elderly lady wanted to buy a book of stamp. When I told her it's $8.80 she insisted to see the manager. She then told the manager that we are trying to make profit, since the price should be lower. I was wondering why she didn't go to the post office if she doesn't like our price.

The Start

Call it a day. It started bad, the few first shoppers were annoying. Made me want to scream. And they all paid with a Ben Franklin. Early in the morning, who has the change? It also made me feel poorer, without a penny in my name. One couple tried to cheat, they asked for a rain check. When I tried to call someboday to check if we still have the item, they argued that the ice they were buying is melting if they have to wait. I told them it's on sale for the whole week, they could come later during the week without a raincheck. The husband found a quarter and a penny on the counter and took it, when I told him they don't belong to them he only gave me back the penny and hide the quarter in his palm. Is the economy that bad? After they left I check the shelves and found out that the coffee they want are available. They just want the raincheck for next time when the sale is over.
