You work for Aramark right? That means your company runs the food service on a number of campuses.

Texas had a moratorium over the summer, meaning if you even hinted that you were poor, you got payment plans on your electric bills. Summer program...Summer.

Me: Well sir, you need to pay 345.00 to prevent disconnection.
Idiot: I need a payment plan!
Me: Well sir, that was a summer program. We don't do those anymore.
Idiot: Well I heard you can't disconnect someone if they say they're low income.
Me: Well...that was incorrect information. You need to take that 345.00 to your nea-
Idiot: I WANT TO SPEAK TO YOUR SUPERVISORRRRRR

The last was still being screamed as i transferred. Give you three guesses what the supervisor said.

Fakeedit: Yeah, we're an outsourcing company pocket-Wocket. We handle electric companies in Texas, Louisiana [imagine how fun THAT has been in the past year...

They're training me in that system tomorrow], Mississippi, Arkansas, Florida, Ohio...etc etc.

Klork,
A. yes, they were

B. Dude, Whoppers keep. Stick those in the fridge and college dudes could eat for damn near 2 weeks.

Also, Burger Death would be an awesome name for burger joint.

According to one of my coworkers, someone called our store and, after he identified our electronics store by name, the woman asked if we were the one in X Mall. After he replied in the affirmative, she asked if we had Advil.

And then there was the woman who looked at our Game Boy Advance games and asked if they were for the Advance. Yes, I told her, they were.

I read once that someone was tired of customers going "yes, do you have a million dollars?" upon being asked if the narrator could help them. This happens several times every day, it seems like. That, and me turning and looking at the cell phone display case the customer had to walk past to get to me to ask me where our cell phones are. This also happens when I'm standing right next to the case.

Okay, lady comes through our drive-through today, and orders a 3 chicken strip combo. Since they are made-to-order, it takes about 3-4 minutes. We tell her about the wait, she says ok, and just before we get everything about the order, she asks if she gets a discount on the meal because of the wait. We all went "WTF?" quietly, and told her we couldn't, because we just can't(company policy and such), although the reason I wanted to tell her(Even though I'm not on drive-through), is that it's 3-4 minutes... you want your food now, go to McDonalds, cause we can't give you raw chicken!

I later found out that KFC gives discounts if you wait more than a minute or so... which is yet another thing we apparently have to do because Popeye's is a chicken place... even though we aren't KFC.

So yeah, blargh.

Wait, huh? I had to wait fifteen minutes for some fucking popcorn chicken, and that would have been some helpful information... damn!

EDIT: It was at KFC by the way.

I work in a gaming store now. And gaming stores are full of weird people at odd times. That's a given. Especially if it's the only gaming store within 50 miles. ALL of the weirdos flock to the place.

Generally nice, eccentric, and just slightly quiet weirdos that get along with the others.

Today we banned a man. Not a boy, not a young adult, a man.

First, he comes in trying to sell some cards... to the other customers. I point at the sign and remind him that we don't allow card selling by anyone else than us in the shop. The reasoning behind this isn't rocket science, we sell cards. We rent the space. We pay the bills. Only WE get to sell cards in the shop.

He sighs, and then sells the cards to us. Okay, no big deal. We mark up the card price, and begins to get pissy at us over it. And we inform him that it's simple economics. We buy the card, mark up the price, and make a profit.

He glares, and then whips out what looks like a home made comic book, and proceeds to read it.

Okay. He's being quiet. No big deal. A quiet weirdo is better than a noisy, annoying, rule breaking one.

Until he grabs the shirt of a passing gamer, and shows him his little home made comic book. A gasp, and a growl is heard, and the comic reader has been slapped, and the gamer goes back to carrying supplies to his game. This happens twice more before my fellow Store Monkey decides to investigate what on Earth it is that he's reading that pisses people off so much.

Within ten seconds my fellow Monkey is yelling at the guy to get the hell out of the shop and stay out before charges are pressed. The guy says something about the 1st Amendment, and then my fellow Monkey points at me, reminds him that I'm a chick, mentions something about a decency law, and tells the guy to leave before the cops are called.

So he leaves, cursing the entire time.

Apparently he had been reading a home made Mario porn (my fellow Monkey mentioned something about Bowser and Toad, and I stopped wanting to know). And, apparently, there are laws on the books in Laramie, WY against having such reading materials in the open around a female, which is something they've never had in the shop before.

None of the other gamers he had pulled aside and showed that to were minors, but there was a definite risk of him pulling something like that. And we do have young children in our shop on frequent occasion, so we don't want ANYTHING like in our shop at all. We don't even carry naked card covers in the shop.

All in all, after working there for three days, I think it's kind of fun. And odd. And definitely full of nerds who don't know how to act around a chick.

My bra size went up again, and they keep the shop too warm for me to wear my flannel over shirt, so it's prtty obvious to them that I'm not actually a male.
