musings of a supermarket

 

The night before the Full moon, get the interesting characters

Heard random yelling down an aisle, and didn’t react

Some random guy walks up to me and starts telling me mobile phones are controlling him, and they get him into trouble with the police.

I look at him and say ‘uh huh’ He then says that people record him on their phones as I ignore him. He walks off towards checkouts and a manager is looking out from the back area. I tell him he missed his friend and he shoots back my friend.

Apparently the checkout operators had him hanging around and telling them that a random customer is recording him and its telling him to steal.

 

A customer rang the store phone at least 5 times to tell the operator that they picked up the wrong receipt and that its illegal. Then wants to know if their card details are on their receipt to identify themselves.

 

 

Something different and strange even. Someone caught a lady mixing up all the dates with all the cheeses on purpose. When asked what she was doing, she responded with she can do it if she wanted.

That actually explains alot as a colleague recently spoke to me about people not rotating the dates on stock when filling.

 

Ahhh, the questions.

"Wheres the Mcains?"

"Mcains, what?"

"Frozen macaroni"

"Dont have any"

 

Today in supermarket wars: plums could not hitchike as they had no thumbs, berries were the best assassins as they berried everyone, grapes tried to dispute the number 42, pears went undercover as apples

Work musings

 

Random customer i helped asked if I remember some guy that I went to school with that he meets up with at the Gym.
Me: 'Yeah', no idea who that was
C: 'He is looking old now'
Me: 'We all are'
C: 'You have a point there'
All because I helped him with a bag of frozen prawn
 
 
Boss walks by telling me why i havnt finished a cage yet, just having a dig.
Customer nearby repeated the boss.
I looked at the lady around my age, 'Its just like being married' was my response.
A little later the lady did say 'bye Brad'
 

 

Lady tells me 'Service with a smile'
Actually no, laughing at you.
You wanted the small rubbish bags at the back of the shelf, but the one at the front said Medium. I pointed out twice it said small, but you wanted the ones at the back.
 

 Today in Supermarket Wars - Zombies are always in a bad mood as they cant use can openers for their cans of baked beans. We hear Brain, Brains and Urgh, Graaah. Problem is no one can understand zombie language as its a dead language. Beer nuts are alcoholic gamblers, Turkish Bread are actually Swedish.

 

Today was Daffodil day and we had to wear yellow. One of the guys at work started calling me the yellow Wiggle and I said Nah! I'm a Teletubby. The customer walking past actually started laughing. 

 

Random lady comes up to me at work and tells me she has a question that is totally out of left field. She then asks about my spyder. It wasnt that bad. Left field would be a lady asking for my kids, or wanting me. Both would send me running to hide in the tea room
