Now you know where the term 'hung like a horse' came from.

I swear I must be a magnet for crazy people. Just this week, I've dealt with the crazy lady who demanded free drinks from Starbuck, and proceeded to take our electric cart for a joy ride, her friend also demanding free drinks, a TM threatening another TM, then tonight a couple drawing male genetalia on the wall in Seasonal with a sharpie, arguing that it was there before, then complaining to the LOS (ETL-GE, who told me to escort them out) that I was mean and hurt their feelings when I threatened to call the cops if they didn't GTFO. (They are probably in their 30's, mind you).
 
To that one guest: yes I have to ID you even though you are clearly over the age. I don't care if you are DEFINITELY over 21 to buy alcohol. I have to and after I told you that two TMs that I have trained got written up for not asking you asked again for a third time. You could see I had a long day. Why did you try to push it when I clearly was having a bad day and I was tired?

To that other guest: I could not cash out your giftcard even though it was only 2.45. We do not work out that way. It would be taking money out of our system and it's impossible. I'm sorry you left your wallet at home but it's not my fault. At least you were nice about it, but don't ask me four times in a row.
I just started going back to college. I was getting a little frustrated more than usual but after dealing with people like this I have never been more motivated to stay on my journey.
 
Your store sells booze???


All depends on state laws about selling booze.
Some states don't let stores like Target sell booze, others only let them sell beer and wine.
In Alaska you have to have a separate part of your store specifically for the booze with it's own cash register and salesperson.
The grocery stores and Costco had no problem setting up something like that because the money is so good but Target decided not to
 
I thought no booze was a Target idea, not the states. Cool.
 
Ttog- I think tis great that you and all your friends came shopping the other day. The more money you spend...means the more hours for me. However, if you are going to stand around and talk please get out of the main aisle. You were standing there when I went to clock out...while I was shopping and when I went to check out. I wanted to look at you and yell get the hell out of the way...I mean people were trying to get by. All you had to do was move over a foot to your left and you WOULD had been out of the way. I think Beyoncé said it best....TO the left...TO the left....
 
TTOG: When im opening on a register and you sneak from behind to be first on line, don't be surprised if I kick you off. A couple already started putting items on the belt and you came out of nowhere and tried putting items on in front of them. And then you used "I can't walk fast" as an excuse. Shut up, if I open on register 12, I'm supposed to take the next people waiting on register 11. But I give you an A+ for effort on your sneaky maneuver.
 
TTOG: You came in trying to return a crapton of diapers off a registry. You couldn't log into your registry, so you had to reset your password. After that, the new password still wouldn't work, at which point the tm at GS calls me over. We try a few more times, it doesn't work, so I explain we can do a no receipt return for you and you go off on me about how you don't want it to count against your yearly limit. So I give you the option to reset your password again, and you tell me it took you fifteen minutes to do it the first time and you're not doing it again. I then explain to you your only option if you don't want to work with the registry anymore is a no receipt return, and you continue to throw a hissy fit about how "none of this is your fault" (yes, yes it is, actually, you forgot your password in the first place) and you shouldn't have to do a no receipt return because you might need to return something later in the year without a receipt. Then, you whip out your ID and shove it at me, and since I'm feeling a little gracious today even though you're a total bitch, I explain to you that we're usually pretty good about overriding returns once you've hit your limit, so should you hit your limit later in the year during a no-receipt return, it shouldn't be a problem for us to proceed with the return.

Then, you glare at me and snap, "Well then WHY DIDN'T YOU OVERRIDE IT THIS TIME?"

I really hope you sensed the "you're a complete fucking moron" tone of voice and facial expression, as I answered "Because.You.Didn't.Hit.Your.Limit..."

What the hell was I going to override? Whiny sack of potatoes.

The main reason this was memorable is not even because of the situation itself, but because your lipstick looked like shit. I couldn't tear my eyes away. It was a bright ass mauvy looking color and it looked like a third grader applied it. It even made you look like more of a bitch.
 
I thought no booze was a Target idea, not the states. Cool.
The store I trained at, two cities away, sells hard alcohol, but the one I work at does not because the city said we're too close to an elementary school and there are already a lot of alcohol stores in the area so they refused to issue hard alcohol permit. We do sell beer and wine though.
 
I wish my store would sell alcohol. Unfortunately our county has the laws of "only one store in the chain can sell alcohol." So only one Walmart in the county can sell it, only one Giant, only one Target, etc.
 
TTOG in electronics who said "Yeah someone sold my wife two games last week but forgot to give her one. Can you just give me a copy of the game now?" then speedwalked away and said "uhhh nevermind" after I asked for a receipt or any kind of proof...nice try. I immediately told AP about you.
 
TTOG You're 12 I'm not selling you Grand Theft Auto. Throw as big a temper tantrum as you want. Also next time remember I'm 6'4 (6'5 on a good day) and it's not in your best interest to tell me to "fuck off." Kids these days are ruthless.
 
Hell no my kid is not playing Grand Theft Auto I want them to have a REALISTIC idea of what life is really like. I'll give them the sims instead.
I meant the attitude.
Start amassing ammo from the time they're born: embarrassing pix, silly sayings, imaginary friends, fav toys, etc.
Threaten to release it online if they give you any trouble; "The carebears undies shot goes VIRAL if you don't clean up your room NOW!"

Ha I hope not. I hope my kid gets everything from my girlfriend because if they do they'd at least have a chance. I'm not ready for parenthood let alone thinking into the future of puberty and teenagers.
 
TTOG, helping you and your two teen/preteen daughters was a pleasure. They were so polite and were making good choices about picking out swim suits. Later, I was covering the FR while they were trying them on. They even tried to hang everything up correctly. I was sincere when I complimented you. Keep up the great parenting sir!
