OPPOSITE DAY!

Say whaaaa?



Exactly.


It all started on a cloudy morning. I was abruptly awoken to execute a task for the dry cleaning part of the store. The quest for this completion was completed and I was awarded nothing... well, does an iced coffee count? Sucks for a prize... anyways... I started the morning shift of work and a customer comes up to me asking me why the soap dispenser isn't dispensing any soap and I point out the "Out of Order" sign. Yup. There it was. BIG BOLD LETTER CAPATALIZED AND HIGHLIGHTED. Who would have thunked (yes.. its a word... MY word) that one would miss such a simple yet "yelling" sign? Well, simply the moron who asked me where the soap is. I pointed her to the counter where we sell the soap and she bought ONE box which is for ONE load... She was using a 4 loader which was over stuffed might I add. I NICELY asked her if she wants another and she accused me of trying to take her money. Before I go on, keep in mind that this lady is around my age. Why is that important? Well... thats an easy answer to think of. Anywhoots I tell her to just take the one box and just use it. She was warned that it might not be enough.


After that episode, I joyfully walk to my folding table where she approached me again and then accused me of not selling her more soap. What the fuck? I offered to sell her another one and explained that it was not too late to add more soap. She didn't understand what I was saying since it was obvious by her expression that she was frustrated and she stormed out. She emerged back to the store 20 minutes later with a box of Tide to only realize that the machine was in the final rinse stage. Moron. Throughout the whole time that she was there, she was giving me a look.


The next guy had less than one load and bought a bottle of tide that was for 16 loads and used the whole thing. He was complaining that the machine had too much soap. I pointed out his mistake and he was actually nice enough to understand. Thats also probably because he ONLY spoke spanish and was tired of watching my finger point to stuff on the bottle and probably got tired of the over articulate mouth ... if that makes any sense.


It annoys me to no end when people think they know more about laundry when they really don't. If you think you know more, then why are you coming to me and asking me stupid question!? WHY?!


Also... one more person that hits the washer so it could accept the quarters, I will bash their head. Yes. That is right... I hate it when people hit the machine when they could just ask for help.

  1. Too bad you can't put up a sign that says "Hit the machines and we'll hit you."

    Signs in any customer environment might as well blend in with wallpaper. They don't read anything no matter how large or how bright or how many.
