People Just Don't Understand~

(this is copied from my personal blog)

I have never gotten so angry at a racial comment than i had today.

So my coworker picks up the phone and does the routine greeting. Then she sets down the phone without turning it off. I'm all like... what, a recording? So she gives me the phone and what i hear is someone going"Ching chong ching chong chong, i like *store name*.. ching chong ching, gung hay fat choy"

So i put down the phone and my coworker was like, just let them talk, they'll get tired of it anyways.but no.. i couldnt just let that shit go.. So what happened was:

Me: Hello?
Phone: ................. CHING CHONG CHING, i like *store name*...
Me: Do you know how racist that is?
Phone: *silence............* CHING CHONG CHING CHING CHONG
Me: DO YOU KNOW HOW FUCKIN RACIST YOU'RE BEING RIGHT NOW?! DO YOU EVEN REALIZE THAT THIS IS A FUCKIN JAPANESE STORE?!

and before i even finished my last words with them, they hung up on me. I so wanted to say more shit to them.

I dont care if you were dared to call us, i dont even care if you were prank calling us for fun. but NEVER.. EEEEEEEEVERR Call with stupid racist shit like that.

And to think that it came from 2 girls... TWO GIRLS WHO, with my instinct, COULD HAVE BEEN ASIAN.

At these times, you'd think people would have better knowledge not to mess around with that kind of shit.

stupid, ignorant assholes.. go get a fuckin life and quit messing around

Regulars~

This lady that always goes shopping.. or should i say "SHOPPING" in our store came in asking me some questions about lunch boxes. I thought for sure she was going to buy one of them, but she ended up leaving 10 minutes later.

The thing about this is. She ALWAYS comes in. I think i've seen her every morning that i've worked for about 3 months.. and never once have i ever seen her buy something O___O
-----
Some kid ate something off the floor, and she wasnt even the one that dropped it there O___O

Catching Up..

I know, it's been a long time since i've last updated on any shenanigans that has happened in the store. There was so much to post, yet i'm either:
a) Lazy
b) Forgot
c) Wasn't good enough..

So what can i let you guys catch up on?

1. I hate when people walk into the store, cell phone strapped to their ears, and just leave after 10 seconds of looking around.

2. Think that's worse? What's worse is when people who look around for a really, REALLLLLY long time end up not buying anything at all.. It's like WTF~

3. Even after you tell people how to read the prices on the tags, they still ask you how much items are... lazy assholes

4. Parents who let their kids roam free in the store are really stupid

5. The kids that roam free because their parents let them are really annoying.

6. Random guys pushing their guy friends into the store, because they think its funny....
GROW UP GUYS, that's all i gotta say about that...

Punk Kids~

Kids these days, i swear.

So these 2 boys come in asking for an application. Now i had just gotten off work, but was still behind the register, closest to the boys. They ask me for an application and i asked them how old they were. They CLAIMED to be 16 1/2 years old, but i knew they were lying.

So they both pulled out their wallets trying to find an ID on them. One of them was telling me that 16 year olds have credit cards, so he was trying to show me a credit card, which wasnt, they were just gift cards. I gave them one anyways, just to see what they would write on it.

Now, my boss didnt mind. He was just humoring them asking to see their ID and telling them that they arent 16 and stuff. So they ended up showing their school IDs, WHICH says MIDDLE SCHOOL on it, Grade 6 (or i could have been mistaken and it said 8), either way its still between the age 11-13, not even close to 16 -__-*

Now, while this was going on, one of my coworkers who was not working today at all was getting so fed up with them that she started trying to scare them away.
"Dont you KIDS have any lives?"
"You come in here for fun just to do nothing, wow, how nice of you guys"
"You guys are just being really stupid you know that"
"Okay, what's the number for security?"


After the KIDS left, they gave us what they had written on that one application and after reading one of the kids' names, i remembered who they were.

A few months ago, those two boys and 3 others came into our store, bumped up our stereo and started dancing around like it was club. The person working with me at that time lowerd the music down and was like "THIS ISNT ABERCROMBIE, THANK YOU~!"
They also kept wanting a fist dab from us or high fives from us LOL

New Years

Happy New Year everyone!

And just because it's the new year, doesnt mean the stories will be any different.

Today brings some crazy people.

1) I dont know what was up with this one lady. She kept telling us what to do at our own job. Telling us keep her daughters stuff separate, then getting her change back. She even pulled out the receipt out of our machine herself. While i was stamping her daughters card, she pulled out the receipt and told her that its hers. No shit lady, of course its yours, its not like it popped out by itself!!

2) This other lady tried to pay for $35 worth of stuff with only $6. She kept ASKING us if what she had was enough to pay for it. Kept telling her no, but it just didnt comprehend in her head. So she got rid of all the other stuff and wanted these 2 compact mirrors and a wallet. All together it'd be about $16, and she still couldnt get in her head that she couldnt pay for it.
When she got rid of the other compact and just had one compact and wallet, we told her it was $10 and she gave us $2 and asked if that was enough? It's like.. Lady, we keep telling you its not enough. I know theres something wrong with her, but its like. if you listen properly, you'll start to understand what we're trying to tell you.

Holiday Rush part 2

The day before Christmas, that's right, CHRISTMAS EVE.

Did desperate people come in? YES
Did they spend whatever just to get a gift? YES
Were they particularly picky about items? YES

LMAO about the last one XD

So yeah, it was pretty slow today, but considering that it is Christmas eve and you may think people want to shop last minute, many people have already left town to go somewhere else.

Although that may be the case, there were MANY generous contributions to our store by people, by spending at least $50 on each purchase.

No real stories today. Though, some lady did buy our $140 boom box (and btw, that boom box is FREAKIN AWESOME!!). She lied about it to her children and told them to keep it a secret. Saying that it was one thing, but it was actually a boom box, and told them not to tell anyone LOL




Actually no, i have a story.
These 2 guys came in looking for charms to buy (for themselves). One of them ended up buying a $12 and asked me if i thought the character was a dog or a bunny. I said it looks like a dog, even though its supposed to be a bunny and he claimed it was a burned character

Holiday Rush

The weekend before Christmas, and it's time for all the last minute shoppers to stop by.
The malls are crowded, the parking is full and so are ALL the stores.

So busy that, our store and several others in our section ran out of SMALL change. No dollars, no quarters, and running low on pennies, nickels and dimes. How sad is that? lol.

WHERE ARE ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO BUY CANDY AND GUM ALL THE TIME?!!
YOU'RE THE REASON WHY WE HAVE SO MUCH CHANGE!!
