lol. oh customers.. endlessly interesting.
ok... I am a night manager at a grocery store. I experience a lot of things. I have never had anyone ask for the CEO. I have had people ask me for the manager. And as a night manager, I'm working right beside the other guys stocking the shelf and I'm dressed casual, often sweaty and dirty. Often people are disappointed when they find out I'm it. I've also had one guy flat out refuse to believe me.
But the whole conspiracy thing reminds me of a guy I had to throw out of the store. A lady came up and told me a guy accosted her and her adult daughter in the parking lot. As she's telling me he's out there and doesn't feel safe this guy is walking in. The whole night crew happens to be there because it was break time and we all watch him. It's clear he's the guy, His pants aren't zipped and his... equipment is partially out. He starts this long, one sided conversation about how he just wants to buy 4 min-shots of fireball. He just keeps talking. He says we can throw hin out if I we want. That we can call the police but he's not afraid of the police. That his wife has him "whipped" and his balls in her purse and he just wants 4 fireball. I'm going to have to say no, because he's blatantly under the influence of something but he's not giving me any opportunity. He's just going on and on and finally one of the other guys interrupts him and says we can't sell him alcohol. He says ok and he understands he will leave and he's not afraid of the cops but he just wants 4 fireball and he knows we are just working guys and probably don't get paid enough to do his job and on and on, so finally me and another one of the guys tell him he really needs to leave and we are walking him out and all of a sudden he starts yelling "north korea!!!!" and he yells that again and then talks about not being afraid of the cops and then ends up in the parking lot yelling at the shopping carts about north korea and 9/11 and iraq.
Also, yesterday there was an old man with the shortest boxers I've ever seen. The reason I saw his boxers? He was not wearing pants. The boxers were short, tight and zebra striped. The rest of his ensemble? sandals with socks that went up to his knees, a winter coat and a jester like hat. He didn't buy anything. I'm thinking his wallet was in his pants. lol.
