Late meme.

[mrsronweasley]

I am just...so tired. I hate late shifts.

Anyway, because I am as slow as molasses (minus the Great Flood, of course), I have finally remembered to put up this meme. I'm sure that it won't actually be fun for anybody, but still.

So, um, go ahead. Ask any of my characters (all...two?.. of them) a question.

~*~*~*~

General statement:

If you're ever in a store and something's not quite right at the register - such as a discount is not being counted - please do not yell at the cashier. Chances are, it isn't his/her fault.

Thank you, and good night.

News to cheer you up?: I spread the At Swim love to my AP English Lang teacher. He acted very interested in the book, but said he hasn't read it. (He's gay, fyi) I am loaning him my copy when I get finished reading it. He wasnt me to compare the relationship in ASTB with A Separate Peace.

*huggles* Get some sleep. and have a good day tomorrow.

Oh, cool! Go you. If he's a good teacher, he'll love it. ;) And I bet you that is the very first assignment on 'At Swim'. How cool is that?! I remember I managed to incorporate it into a presentation I did for one of my classes last term... it was even MacEmm that I talked about. I was quite pleased.

*hugs back* Thank you :)

I've already talked to him about doing At Swim as my "open novel" in the spring. woot!

You're welcome!

Ugh, yes. People seem to think that a cashier/other serving job's whole life is helping people. Um, no.

Hmmm...at the moment, I can't think of questions but it's late and I'm sure I have some. Will return. Yes.

And I KNOW! I mean, yes, we work there, and therefore we have to help. Which we do, willingly. There's simply no need to yell and stomp your feet at us if we aren't lightning-speed-super people. Try how it fits on the other foot. Ugh.

*posts pointless comment to say* -

Agreed. Very much so.

Also (I too work in a bookshop) - we do not have every book ever published waiting for you on our shelves. However, we will do our best to order it for you, unless it was published in 1924, in which case, chances are it's out of print.

/rant.

Oh, I know. They simply don't understand that part. Yes, we are a HUGE bookstore. But we're not omnipotent. I only wish!..

*seconds* It's like the immediate assumption is, since computers don't ever EVER make mistakes, that the person operating it is botching up. Customers are such asses.

Rock the casbah, man! Thank you. That helped.

Customers ARE such asses, really. I mean...yeah. Just try to understand us, you know? I do, whenever I'm at a store. I always have. But nope, quite a few people don't. If another person asks me if I can get them a discount ANYWAY (and then laughs as if it were the funniest thing in the whole world and I hadn't heard a million times before) I will scream 'NO!!' at them and hike up the price.

Er... < /rant >

People will yell at cashiers about anything, regardless of whose fault it is. *speaks from personal experience* :-/

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

*sigh* Yeah, they do. And it's just so...unfair. :-/ *hugs*

Haven't you heard that the customer is always right?

Yeah. Customers are bastards. Plus working with them you learn that most people are thick as shit.

*lick*

Haven't you heard that the customer is always right?

*growls* I hate that crap. And you are SO right - people can be so - fucking - STOOPID. Oh my GOD! A girl I work with believes that as soon as they step into the store, their braincell count just goes WAY down. It's ridiculous.

You pay where it says CASHIER and you see REGISTERS. Computers alone to not a pay-place make!

Oh, and yeah... *g*
