We were all amazed at how the jam stayed in one cohesive whole despite its protective casing being cracked and broken around it.
Also, my coworkers are apparently somewhat protective of me. It was a slow Monday night, and I was zoning my endcap when a customer walked up to my lane. I turned to assist him, greeting him as usual.
His response?
"No thanks, I don't want YOU."
I blinked and stared as he continued to my coworker Prodigy's register. Prodigy is so nicknamed because he is not even old enough to drink... yet has had ~7 jobs and is working on buying a house. It's kind of impressive. But anyways, Prodigy checks him out, then tells me what an asshole the crusty was after the crusty was gone.
Apparently the guy had been complaining about me... no clue why, as I'd never seen the guy before.
This is when we notice Crusty's Sam's Hell member card lying on Prodigy's register.
We look at each other. We look at the card. We look at COS(check out supervisor) Newbie(one of the newest supervisors), minding his own business at the podium.
Prodigy takes the card and tosses it in his register to be forgotten.
After about five minutes, Crusty comes back fuming about his card. Note thatProdigy has not ruined the guy's life... it takes about 5 minutes to get a new Sam's Hell card at the membership desk.
But Crusty spends more than that ranting at Prodigy, who only claims to have not seen the card. I try to add my two cents, even though I feel a little bad about the deception.
Crusty snaps, "Excuse me, I'm dealing with HIM."
And I lose all sympathy.
According to COS Newbie, Crusty ranted and raved at him for a while longer. He actually even came in the next day and ranted and raved. Note that this adds up to at least half an hour of the guy's time... when he could shrug, figure he misplaced the card, and go get a new one.
Best part? Crusty is apparently notorious for complaining in order to get free shit. I am solidly on Prodigy's side in this one.
I'm with you on this...I did the same thing so many times when I, too, used to work at Hell-Mart's fat cousin. You bitch at me, you bitch at my co-worker...you get zero help from me that I don't absolutely HAVE to give you.
Blue vests unite! :D
Ha! Ha!
Theft is justified when people hurt our feelings!
Said it before and I'll say it again: grow the heck up.
Seriously? It's okay to basically take a guy's card? Am I missing something here?
Dude was an asshole, yes. But there's really no excuse why Prodigy lied and said he never saw the card.
I'd add in, upon consideration, that it takes zero money and about thirty seconds of the custy's time to get a new card. The old one's then cancelled...and can't be used by whomever picks it up. It's nothing to get butthurt over, as all it really accomplishes is getting the slaves a little more even with the people who legitimately waste half our shifts every single goddamn day. Chillax, kids. Not like he murdered the guy.
So... You basically assisted your coworker in the theft of property belonging to a payong customer, all while you were on the job? Even if the man was mean, nasty, abusive, or even racist it doesn't give you the right to behave like a shithead too! It's people like you that give tbe rest of us hard working employees a bad name!
