I've got more!

If a closing announcement is made (i.e. "Attention Walgreens customers, the time is now 10 pm and our store is closed.....etc.) that means LEAVE. We all have families and homes that we would like to get home to. Last night it was nearly 10:30 before these two ladies left, they had been there since 9:15 or so and we had made 3 or 4 announcements that we were closing. The clerks can't leave until the store is cleaned up and it takes half an hour to 45 minutes to clean up the store after the last person leaves. Grrrrr.......
Today is my last day in retail and I am just dying for this to happen again. I will get on the PA and make a new announcement "Attention Walgreens shoppers, we closed 10 minutes ago, GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, I WANT TO GO HOME!" Ahhhh, it will feel so good

Don't call me "baby" "cutie" or anything like that. It's creepy.

Please don't put your payment on the counter and make me pick it up, it's so rude. It's like throwing it on the floor. I am holding my hand out for it, just put it there.

Pervers, on the other hand it's realy rude when the cleark who is posta ring you up takeas a call. At stitchery station one time she was cutting out material for me and helping me and her buisnes partner calls from the road cause she's out selling things. Now I understand being the only one at the store right then, but The sales lady stops helping me and stands yacking on the phone for 20 mins while I stand there waiting to check out. I kept trying not to sigh cause my legs was getting tired and stuff. I was pretty impatient by time she got off the phone.

Sometimes buisness policy requires you to. When I worked at petco I -had- to answer the phoen within three rings whether or not I was with a customer. Stupid policy.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

another one.

We recently changed store hours. We used to be open till 11pm Mon-Sat. Now we're only open till 10pm Mon-thurs.

People do not LISTEN to our anoucements. Since the changeover, we've started making anouncmenets at 9, saying we close at ten, and doing it at about 15 minute intervals, up untill 9:30 when we do 10's and 5's. Eventually, we had to give someone "kick 'em out" duty, at 10 till, telling people to LEAVE.

Seriously, folks, when a person in a nametag tells you we're closeing in 10 minutes, the proper respones is NOT "no you aren't, you're open till 11"

Why on earth would we lie to you?



(Well, aside from the fact that we want to leave, but...)

All the places I have worked at have had the same policy. You can get written up if the phone isn't answered in time.

i love having a Dominate who will Dominant me! haha

LOL, i couldn't resist. This annoys me too. i see it alot. But not just this, also when people use the wrong spellings for words that sound the same (e.g. they're, there. too, to, etc.)
i may not always use the right words too but i try.

There was a time when I would have said 'Alpha Doms' personalitles (by which I refer to those people who feel the need to try to top everyone around them including other Tops) I run into them everywhere in and out of the community, work, on the boards, always needing to feel they are right or they are in charge regardless of how obviously foolish and rediculous they sound.
Can you say over-compensation?
Realizing that in most cases it is merely over-compensations for their own esteem issuse, I have learned to find these types of people the most fun to mess with *impish smile*.

I know exactly how you feel... We had one guy that came to our munch group all the time, he was very "Dominant", 6'4", long, looooong hair.. even dressed the part... well, I love those kind of men, I really do. I got to talking to him and told him that I have a passion for tall submissive men and he stated that he was aaaalll Dom... by the end of the evening he whispered to me... "I would switch on occasion for the right woman" and winked.... Strangely enough, I haven't seen him since.... I don't understand?

I hate being called honey.
I used to hate being called Ma'am, but now I give him a second look to see if he's attractive, and possibly a sub. M

People that take their grocery cart back from a half mile across a parking lot just to get their quarter back.

I mean, eesh, its a quarter. Cheap cheap. Fight the system and these pay-carts people.  Besides, it gives a job to the cart collecting guy they have on staff anyways to catch the runaways.

Real life pet peeves ?.......... yes !!!........dog shit on the grass.

The only time when I hate dogs, is when I step in their mess. But maybe it is not the dog I should be directing my anger at, but the bloody owner, one who can't be bothered or seems not to care that ums play on grass and dog shit carries a disease that affects the eyes, not to mention people like me stepping in the stuff when wandering back from the pub. As it is, when I see a dog off the lead, heading for the grass, I eyeball the owner, just to make sure they have their poopascoopa ready to hand, or at least a plastic bag, as there are dog mess bins provided.

But the biggest bugbear, is the night walkers and their dogs, they let them off the lead to run in the park and evacute their bowels for the night.Where the dog messes,they can't see and don't care, a messy land mine for someone unfortunate.

Ok, since we are talking about drivers here....

Has it changed in the last decade? Are the four way flashers no longer considered emergency flashers"? Do the people out there understand how hard it is to judge the distance of a vehicle using their flashers in a thick fog???? Where is the emergency there?? I have seen people drive for miles with their flashers on just cuz the street is wet! How do I know there isn't a legit emergency you ask??? Well, unless there is emergency services offered at the local grocery then I would have to guess it was due to wet streets. I've even heard a cop tell people if the weather is bad (rain, snow, fog... you know) to turn on their flashers..... It's just hard to tell if they are moving or pulled over from a distance... makes me crazy.

Jewel

Um, I use my flashers in thick fogs/heavy downpours/white-outs. The purpose is to let you know I'm there. If you need to worry about judging distance you are driving very unsafely and need to seriously slow down. I can't explain it any better than that, nor would I try.
