Retail Confession #6

theretailconfessionals:

I’m gonna take a bathroom break. I don’t need to go, I just need a moment of solitude to collect myself before I start weeping openly.

Customer logic: The “it’s apparently not really stealing (even though it technically is)” edition

customers-r-literally-the-worst:

I was a cashier at Target, and let me say in preface that nine times out of ten whenever we had to suspend a transaction because a customer left their form of payment at home and were going home to get it, they never came back to get their shit.

Okay, fast forward to this woman and the 3 or 4 kids she had with her. All the kids had 20-oz bottles of Pepsi they had all cracked open and started drinking. After I had rung everything up, this woman realized she didn’t have her checkbook or whatever she was going to pay with, so I told her no problem, I can suspend the transaction and keep her stuff at the register until her husband showed up with her checkbook (or whatever).

Then I noticed that she wasn’t taking the sodas away from her kids, she was letting them head on into the Starbucks with them to wait. So I (politely!) asked her if she had any way to pay for the Pepsi’s since her kids were already drinking them, and … oh boy. At first she just kind of stares at me blankly and asks why she would want to do that; her husband is coming to pay! So I (again, politely, if a bit bewildered because, well, uh, technically you’re allowing your kids to steal, but whatever …) tell her that, well, I just thought since they already opened them and started drinking them, she might just want to go ahead and pay for them … (you know, because technically that’s stealing!)

And this chick loses her shit at me, but not in a yelling sort of way, more in a really quietly offended and victimized sort of way, if that makes sense. Starts going on about why does she need to pay for them, her husband is going to be here soon to pay and all that. So obviously I can tell she’s getting upset, so I back off and tell her, okay, never mind, it’s fine.

So she walks over to the Starbucks in the front of the store by the registers (her kids still drinking the Pepsi’s nobody’s paid for), sits there for like a minute, then comes over to my register and asks me to give her her bags so she can take them to Customer Service and have them hang on to them. Okay, fine. I make sure to watch her to make sure that’s really where she’s going with them (keep in mind this whole time I have a line and am trying to check through the women who were in line behind her), and when she comes back my way she stomps over to me and announces “I told them what happened!” in the tone of voice a five-year-old would use to tell you they just tattled on you and you’re gonna be in trouble! And I’m so shocked by this that I audibly and incredulously said “Told them what?!” Because, like, what? Told them that you’re teaching your shitty little kids that it’s a-okay to steal from stores? I mean, how do you think you’re in the right here?

Anyway, the ladies I was checking through when all this happened couldn’t believe the nerve of this woman, told me not to let this b*tch get to me, and then apparently went up to Customer Service themselves to defend me and tell them I’d done nothing wrong.

Honestly the best revenge on religious nuts who leave the fake money with bible verses or whatever as tips for waiters and waitresses is to take the fake money and go to church and leave it in the donation basket. See how they like it.

Dear customer, if you have to complain that delivery people aren’t giving your food until you pay AGAIN, as in its not the first time we’ve done this, then that’s your clue that maybe you should start paying first

Slutshaming women is not ok
Slutshaming Alexander Hamilton is totally ok
Tumblr logic

he cheated. on his wife.

he’s also been dead for several hundred years this is the funniest post ive ever read in my life

fave things about this post:

  • the idea that thousands of people are calling alexander hamilton a slut
  • calling any founding father a slut
  • the idea that people are SHAMING Alexander Hamilton for being Such A Slut he is being SHAMED for being such a naughty little tart, SPREADING HIS LEGS FOR EVERYONE IN CONGRESS
  • that this was probably prompted by people expression dissaproval for Alexander Hamilton cheating on his wife - that the OP thinks “slut shaming” and “Isnt it gross that he cheated on his wife” are the same thing
  • Alexander Hamilton has been dead for 210
  • 210 slutty, slutty years
  • the way that this is presented in such a CHECKMATE SJWS way when they’re talking about a founding father who cheated on his wife and has been DEAD FOR 210 YEARS
  • the fact that the words “Slutshaming” and “Alexander Hamilton” have been used in the same sentence
  • i mean just apply what we’d traditionally think of as “slut shaming” to Alexander Hamilton.
  • His frock coat is too tight, his breaches are so short, have you SEEN how often he powders his wig??? I heard he gave Thomas Jefferson a handy behind the stables AND that he got fingered by John Hancock
  • i barely know who alexander hamilton is

IM SCREAMING
