tell them that she is working at the local Target.
last night, i went to Target to get three things: a digital tire gauge, a Woolrich down throw (which was on sale AND i was armed with a $10 off coupon), and a small, 18", 15-watt fluorescent bulb for the fish tank.
well, the only thing that i came away with was the fish tank bulb; they were out of the other two items and i grabbed a couple rain check forms. one item in the checkout lane...piece o' cake.
got to checkout and even was let into line by a real nice lady who saw my wee, one item. that's cool. we often let people in ahead of us if we have considerably more than they. funny though...i mentioned to her that no good deed goes unpunished. ha!
our checker was a nice gal...35-40...kinda talkative, but not to the point of annoying. anyway, while she was scanning the last few items of the party in front of me, an adjacent line opened up; i told the nice lady to hurry and be the first in that line.
a-ha! so who got the last good deed in? yep, it would be me...thank you very much. and things all went downhill from there. on the last item (a pumpkin), the checker mentioned to the people that it had a rotting stem and perhaps they may want to get another one. nonplussed, they shrugged it off and said that the pumpkin was going to end up rotting in a few days anyway. end of drama.
so i get up there with my measly item and two rain check forms. well, apparently the poor gal had never been trained in rain check distribution; real tough...you scan the forms and the rain checks are printed...voila! worse, she didn't even know what a rain check was...hmmm...check out all those red flags popping up!
actually got the rain checks...okay. now, it was on to the fluorescent bulb (you know, the long kind). she's putting it in the bag and says to me, "You sure you want this one? it's open."
"Uhhh. It's supposed to be that way."
"Oh, okay. Here's your receipt...oh looook, it's a pretty pink one!"
"You know, that means your register tape is running low. You might want to change it (while I run screaming out of this place). Have a good night (you freak)."
nothing against the poor gal, but really...how the hell did she get a job as a checker? i hope she's good with money because Target is standing to lose a lot of it if she's all-around-clueless.
calling all village idiots...the Super Target in Glendale is now hiring. Kmart has blue-light specials...Target just has dim bulbs. Wal-Mart has falling prices...Target has ever falling IQs ;) or maybe the above only applies to management level - doesn't it always?
