the joys of work LOL

It's non stop at work, things happen that well lets be honest..things that have happened could only happen to ME!! SCENARIOone: here i am, at my register, first customer for the day..2 trolley's absolutely full of all the mark-down stuff (things that were normally $80 marked down to $4 that sort of thing).. I have marked down most of his stuff when he mumbles something to me, grabs all his bags, leaves the trolleys and runs out the door..I am dumbfounded (this happens a lot!) I turn to my supervisor who happened to be behind me on a register and i just mouth to her RUNNER!! She comes to my register, where all the action is...Asks me and the girl beside me at the next register to describe man, which we do, the lady who has mysteriously appeared from behind the surfboard in the trolley, also describes man and points and says he as headed that way...The supervisor picks up phone to ring security as we have spotted said man...who then appears back at the register asking what all the fuss is...THE LADY, then says to him, oh well, they thought you were stealing all this stuff and are now calling security..I have told you before to think before you act, This is the consequence..I hope you are embarrassed...Puzzled I asked her what she was going on about..SHE WAS ONLY HIS BLOODY WIFE!!! he apparently does this alot, runs off to get a trolley and forgets to leave the parcels, she'd had enough so thought it would teach him a lesson to get into trouble..I just burst out laughing...the supervisor was in fits of laughter, we had to close my register so we could all compose ourselves. THEN because the supervisor had voided his transaction i had to start all over again..they had so much stuff it took me nearly 45 minutes to put it through as it all had to be coded manually (and they honestly had so much stuff!!!) I laughed the whole time and thanked them for not getting narky over my accusing him of stealing blah blah...They came back to the store later and apparently gave a glowing report to the supervisor about how it was a pleasure to be served by someone who smiled and made their day!! (how nice was that!!) SCENARIO 2 This one happened the following day...I am doing returns (a shit job but someone has to do it). a chinese lady comes up to me...

• CL....Electric Toothbrushes
• Me....Um..YES
• CL....Electric Toothbrushes...
• ME...ahhh yes
• CL...you stupid girl...where do the electric toothbrushes be?
• ME...ahh yes...they are over there, in the cosmetic department, on the 3rd rack (i put them there myself so knew exactly where they were.
• CL..what dept..you stupid girl..i cannot see it
• ME..(thinking well if you weren't 2ft tall you would see)..takes her to said dept and shows her toothbrushes..
• CL...YOU STUPID GIRL...these be battery operated toothbrushes, i want ELECTRIC..what is wrong with you stupid girl..
• ME...(holding tongue if she calls me stupid girl once more i swear i'll shove that toothbrush down her neck)...well, madam, battery operated toothbrushes are indeed electric toothbrushed as they are electronic not manual, *sigh* we dont have electric as in plug in electric here as i'm sure that if you were to plug it in you would surely be electrocuted and die (perhaps that is her plan??)
• CL...YOU STUPID GIRL....why name a product electric if it is battery operated?? I shall go elsewhere, thank you for wasting my time...
• ME>..*sigh, smile politely* the pleasure was all mine....watch her walk off and make note that next time i invent something to make sure i name it correctly to avoid confusion!!! oh and make sure that my name badge is correctly positioned so people will not think my name is Stupid Girl!!!!!
