A Guy Came Into My Job And Threw Tootsie Rolls At Me Today (for No Discernible Reason). A Few Minutes

A guy came into my job and threw tootsie rolls at me today (for no discernible reason). A few minutes after he left, he came back and threw more tootsie rolls at me.

Sir. Even if I wanted to eat this, I wouldn’t. I do not trust candy that can be easily unwrapped and rewrapped from anyone. Please stop asking me if I don’t like the candy and stop staring. I’m not going to.

Ah... Customer service.

So I haven’t posted here in a while because I’ve not been doing great, but I had to share this story.

The other day, I’m at the register ringing a lady up for a notebook and a couple of pens when she suddenly demands for me to reiterate the individual prices for the items. I’m thinking that maybe one of the prices was more than offered (but the items only amounted to about three bucks), but go ahead and tell her. She then started screaming at me because our store falsely advertises our prices and that we’re dishonest. That every time she comes in the prices for the items don’t match the prices on the shelves and that someone needs to answer for it, she wants to pay the price she was promised with our sales tags... which was about four bucks more.

Our company has cut our hours. We only have five employees at a time except for during the transition period of 1-4 (including our manager) and two of us can’t leave our stations. The other three are near constantly taking care of customers because people want someone to walk them through everything. We have a very large store with A LOT of items, they change prices on many of them weekly (and we don’t have the manpower or hours to have people dedicated to only doing that), and they are already prepping for back to school season which involves rearranging the store. We are going to make mistakes and miss price tags.

While I’m trying to explain this to her in the most polite way possible (with her getting angry at me saying “they” when referring to the company) and glancing at the line starting to build behind her and her making a scene. My manager walks over and tries to explain we don’t have a way to make her pay the prices she wants to pay (we can make them lower sort of but not charge someone MORE, why would someone program that into the system) and that most people appreciate paying less money. She keeps telling about it while I stand there awkwardly and eventually pays and leaves but not before asking for my name and threatening to report me.

Apparently this is the fourth time she’s done this to an employee at our store and is known for this behavior in the shopping center. She never does anything about it, but some people just seem to want to be angry and find reasons to take it out on people. Jeez.

Does anybody get irritated by mouth noises?

I don’t mean like someone chewing annoys you. I mean that when your near someone eating a burger and their mouth is closed and everything and you can STILL HEAR THEM chewing even though you’re a couple of yards away and it makes you feel like you’re going to throw up bc you suddenly want to claw your ears. Or you’re listening to a podcast for several hours and suddenly the popping noise that person makes when they open their mouth as a tic with their speech pattern (that didn’t bother you before) makes you so angry that you aren’t listening to what they’re saying, just hearing that noise every time they do it, and you have to shut off the podcast and not listen to it for a week or two before hearing their voice doesn’t bother you anymore.

This has been happening to me for years, but I just want to see if anyone else experiences this too. It just is really bad today, especially when someone had an asmr video that they liked and was hoping I would to and I just had a very strong reaction where if felt like my whole body was tensing up until they noticed and turned it off.

Ever get a weird AU idea that makes no sense.

Old man Tommy and Sarah have the ghosts of Paulie and Sam living in their house (both haunting Tommy) and get to navigate weird domestic life with two dead friends living under their roof.

Then Vito and Joe come to kill Tommy and get smacked around with Joe’s  floating shotgun. Conversation happens and the Angelos run away with Joe and Vito since clearly protective custody apparently mean nothing if these two got close and now weird domestic life (with their own children might I add) also includes two adoptive sons (and their ghost friend Henry).
