Oh! For the love of God, Man! What is it with people today? Isn't there enough crap in the world?
Yesterday, at work, I was checking out this older couple. (Obviously over 40) They had some of that Margarita Mix, which requires me to ID them. Well since we ID under 40 and I could see that they were over 40 I simply asked for a birthdate (because I have to enter it in the computer to allow a purchase) Well they freaked out! They didn't understand why I had to ask, for something that didn't contain alcohol. They wondered "if the (margarital mix) company was aware of this" and "what else were we going to pin on terrorism." They carried on for a good 5 minutes. What I really wanted to do was tell these people where to go and where to shove the Margarita mix. They also suggested that I card people for Coca-cola, "because you can add Rum to it." Finally, I suggested that if it upset them so much they could speak to a manager, well they didn't have time to do that. (but they had the time to sit and bitch at me?) So I kindly told them that they could pick up a comment card on they way out. Thank God I have the next 3 days off to recover.
