Two sucks, both recent.

Working in the general area of my high school has meant that people from my high school come in and leave messages for me. People I didn't even like in high school. When I'm not on shift. WTF?

We rent DVD's out. As such, you have to have an account with us, of course, because we aren't going to rent out to just anyone. Since it's a small independant store, our system is a little different than say, Blockbuster. (Of course I've never even had an account at a Blockbuster, so I could just be talking out of my ass there.)

We do a 40 dollar authorization on the card used to open the account, to protect us from people getting a pre-paid card and then coming here and spending all the money on it in one big go and getting away with stealing a bunch of videos from us. It does NOT charge your account, it just tells ME and the machine that there IS 40 dollars on your card.

So this lady comes in, buys a bunch of toys and lubes and wants to open up an account. I start going through the motions and it comes to the point where the authorization is needed. I go through the spiel of why we do this, and she freaks out. She's telling me that we're stealing her money and even though it SAYS it doesn't charge to the account, she knows it's going to anyway and we're just trying to steal her money!

So I gave her a choice of opening the account or her leaving with none of the DVD's. She picked the porn.

Recap: King of Burgers minion... who only has two more shifts! *fistpump*

I was on drivethru last night, and it was my city's Christmas in the Park. We're one of the closest fast food outlets to the park, so we were slammed.

1) We only take two separate orders per car. No, that's how we've always done it. Why? Because I can only have a certain number of pending orders before the system freaks out. If half those orders are from one car, I can't get the line through as quickly. I'm sure you can split the orders up between two of you and pay each other back. You don't want to do that? Come inside. It looks busy? That's because it is. So is drivethru.
1a) If you agree to just do two orders, don't try to start ordering a third one. I won't take it. Just... no.

2) While we're talking about separate orders, could you please tell me if there's two orders for your car before I send the first order through? Otherwise whoever's cashing will get confused. This wouldn't be a huge deal if it didn't happen all the time.

3) I don't control the prices. I don't control what we don't sell anymore. Yelling at me won't help. If I was in a position to change those things, I wouldn't be working for minimum wage on a Saturday night. Trust me.

4) Yes, my accent is bizarre and unique.* No, that doesn't give you the right to mock it, or to demand to know "where the fuck [I'm] from."
*I live in New Zealand. My accent is a mix of the mainland NZ accent, the Southland burr, and my dad's Australian accent. It's truly bizarre, especially to people here or in Aussie.

5) Don't tell me we're sucky planners because it's busy. We have extra staff on tonight - drivethru has an ordertaker, a casher, and a runner. We actually can't be any more staffed than we are.

( Slightly NSFW )

Hopefully, that's it! Two more shifts and I'm out of there.

During the holidays we each donate some of our time to keep the library open a few extra days when we would normally be closed. The fact that we're donating our time on those days out of the goodness of our hearts and without pay makes any mofoery all the more intolerable.

Case in point, recently a gentleman arrived with a book that belonged to him as well as a number of books that he had borrowed. I happened to notice his book on his arm when he came in, as it was a large, shiny coffee table book with artistic photography and a very bright yellow. I was helping another patron at the time and didn't manage to catch him to discuss our policies on having non-library books here (not forbidden but we have policies for any that resemble our special collections, luckily this book did not). Some time later I was helping a patron find something particularly ambiguous and I noticed that the patron-with-book was sitting at one of our tables in a clearing between shelves on the second floor. I passed him many times in trying to help this patron but always more than 30 feet away and I never took much notice of him after my first trip. About half an hour later I was running an invoice upstairs to the offices before lunch when I heard a patron yelling in the stacks. It happened to be mofo-with-book who, upon seeing me enter the area, stood up and bellowed "It was her! She took my book!" in the most dramatic possible way. I thought it was some kind of bid for attention or a bad joke so I approached the man to ask him to quiet and calm down, since he was visibly agitated. He swept an arm at me and yelled for security, drawing a crowd with his continuing tirade about how he saw me do it and that he was absolutely positive that it was me. I stepped back a bit since he seemed violent and we waited for security to arrive. When our younger security guard came upstairs, mofo-with-book repeated his claim and he was so commanding that I swear for a moment I think the guard was considering removing me just to get the guy to shut up. The police were called and a report was filed (with much loud accusation from him, though we did manage to get them to take it to our rear lobby) and a search of the area showed that the book was in fact gone, though I wouldn't be surprised if the guy had lost it in his pile of books or stashed it somewhere himself. He left in a huff warning one woman that "this library will steal your books!" and that was it. I was accused of stealing, a book no less, in my own place of work. My boss and coworkers have been very supportive, but I did hear someone say to their child as they left "well how do you think they pay for all of these books?" - not sure if it was related. It's really quite demeaning to be put on the spot like that in your own place of work. I hope that mofo gets his, but still, I have to wonder what happened to the book.

So it's Thanksgiving, and I'm in your box office, selling you tickets. I'm in a pretty good mood, getting to chat with one of my favorite coworkers, and everyone's been fairly mellow and pleasant up to this point.

Until this guy comes up. Let me say, before I start, that I have a lisp. It's not super bad and I'm not unintelligible, but it's there.

Guy comes up to get tickets.

Me: ...Okay, for two tickets it'll be sixteen dollars!

Guy: How much?

Me: Sixteen dollars! *cheerful happy smiley yay*

Guy: *looking in his wallet* Thikthteen dollarth. *smirksmirk*


...excuse me what.

I was only as polite as strictly necessary through the rest of the transaction, and then cursed him when all the other customers were gone. I hope he gets hit in the face with a football and has a lisp from them on. :| But I mean SERIOUSLY, who over the age of nine does that?!

For Christmas, I also want a place with a nice big crafts table where I never have to pack all my stuff up when I am done for the day. Having limited space to spread out makes it very hard to do ongoing projects, like handmade Christmas cards.

Speaking of cards, the things I submitted to Stampers Sampler were rejected. At least I think so. I sent in three cards, they sent two back with a rejection notice, but no mention of the third anywhere, no EMail, etc. I'd like to hope that means they are still considering it, but in reality they probably forgot it. Weh. Ah well, I'll try again!
