Sevi, you wouldn't think most of the3m were fictional if you were a cashier.

When I worked at walmart I was almost always on the verge of tearing someone's throat out with my bare hands because of all the stupid I had to deal with on a daily basis. And besides, we're on the internet. You can find examples of your average person's idiocy pretty much everywhere you look. Shit is totally believable.

Still, the spartan kick thing was probably bullshit. The rest of the story before that was probably true though.

Edit: SK family night?

Quote:

Movie Theater | Massachusetts, USA

(A customer comes in with four very young kids.)

Customer: “Does [R-rated police drama] have any nudity in it?”

Me: “No, but it’s incredibly violent.”

Customer: “…but there’s no sex or nudity, right?”

Me: “No, it’s just really violent and bloody.”

Customer: “I’ll have one adult and four kids, please!”

It's a good way to pass time when you're bored, although lots of them probably are manipulated to make the poster like a "cool guy" like Mibs has noted with the Sparta example.

Jaxon · 10-29-2009, 04:13 PM

Yeah, same way that most funny stories are bullshit. This phenomenon is a million years older than the Internet =P

Tabris · 10-29-2009, 04:42 PM

yeah, there are some that are totally exaggerated.
i think the last line in this story was probably added

perhaps i should type up some of my customer stories. i only have 2 really good ones
and i think i might have told those stories before in the past...

zer0systm · 10-29-2009, 07:17 PM

Put stories on here first

(glorious red usernamessss)

Tabris · 10-29-2009, 08:09 PM

I was only gonna post them on here (or in OH)
you see, some of those submissions were put together into a book.
i don't want my experiences to be profit for someone else
fuck no, only i get to profit from my work experiences

i'll start typing them up right away

I KNOW YOU’RE TRYING TO SAVE MONEY BY SWITCHING OUT YOUR STOCKS! GET ME THIS HAMMER!” (At this point, I come to the front of the store, overhearing what’s going on; note that I’m the manager.)

Me: “Now, then… you wanna apologize and maybe come back in?” Customer: “No! I just want my hammer!

He seems particularly interested in one that’s being worn by a mannequin.) Me: “Can I help you, sir?” Customer: “I was wondering if you have the outfit on the mannequin?” Me: “Unfortunately, I sold the last one earlier today. The one the mannequin is wearing is the only one I have.” Customer: “Well, why can’t you just give me that one then?” Me: “I can, but I do have another almost identical outfit in stock.” Customer: “No, I want that one!” Me: “Okay, sir.” (I start dragging the mannequin to the back.) Customer: “Where are you going?” Me: “City law says I can’t undress her in front of the windows, sir.” Customer: “Well, why can’t I have that one?” Me: “Sir?” Customer: “I want the one on the mannequin!” Me: “That’s what I’m doing sir.” Customer: “I WANT THE ONE ON THE MANNEQUIN!” (His wife suddenly appears from another part of the store.)

They are not.” Father: “But we saw them move…” Me: “They are robotic dinosaurs. They have parts to make them move a little.” Father: “Then why are they in the zoo if they are not real?” Me: “It’s to teach our guests about dinosaurs.” Son: “So are they real, dad?” Father: suddenly angry “No, they are not! These f**ing people have fake animals!” (As the father and son begin to walk away, the mother stays behind to tell me one last thing.) Mother: “You know dear, maybe you should get real dinosaurs. That way, you won’t have problems like this.” perhaps i should type up some of my customer stories. i only have 2 really good ones and i think i might have told those stories before in the past... __________________ C&H FTW official co-owner of the digimon fan club!
