Incorrect TaskForce141 Quotes From My Work Part 2 ✩｡:*•.───── ❁─────.•*:✩

Ghost: bitches have got to stop trying to hug me. I AM NOT A HUGGER! 💀

Soap: yeah me neither. I might look like a hugger but I can assure you I am not! If someone tries to hug me, I’ll do this! *starts doing karate*

Ghost: wtf? Are you doing?

Soap: being defensive, when people hug me, it scares me because you don’t know their intentions. Period.

✩｡:*•.───── ❁─────.•*:✩

A/N: I personally look like a hugger but I am not. It terrifies me to an absolute T. Like please don’t touch me lol. Our “Ghost” at work is very much not a hugger and everyone knows that but they try to hug them anyway.

at work the other day a woman checked out like 5 pairs of jeans while we had a card members only deal going on

"oh does the 50% off come off after or"

"oh! no, we scan a promotional code, ha :) do you have your store card on you or will we be looking it up? :)"

"no I don't have a store card and I don't want one"

"oh okay, sorry! :) so your total comes out to $xyz --"

"--wait, what about the 50% off??"

"the 50% off jeans is for our cardholders! :) would you like me to open one for you? it'd be 50% off the jeans, and we have $20 off $50 too, so it'd bring your total down about $70. :) "

"No I Said I Don't Want One. What About The 50% Off??"

"mmhmm, the 50% is if you have a card. since you don't have one and wouldn't like to sign up for one, they'll still be full price! :) so your total comes out to $xyz."

"the sign over there said its 50% off if you have a card"

.... yeah???????????? "yes that's right! :)"

"so are you telling me I'd have to open a card to get the 50% off??"

........... LITERALLY YES?????? "yep, that's correct! :)"

I have seen many customers at work try to swipe chip credit cards(and try to correct them before they swipe it since it makes an annoying noise if you try swiping a chip card). Today however, is the first time i have seen someone try and swipe their drivers licence

I just had an interesting thing happen to me at work...

This family with like four kids came into my store and shopped around for like a half hour, but the youngest daughter who was like 6 years old started going on and on to me about panda bears. 

After like 10 minutes of pandas and giving me directions to the zoo, I decided to go back to the counter and draw her a little panda on a sticky note. Well, after she got done showing everyone in the store that I drew something for her, she told me his name was Samurai Jack.

I paused. Surely I did not hear a 6 year old child say Samurai Jack, did I? So I said, “Oh his name’s Jack the Panda?”

And she was very clear to me that, “no, his name is Samurai Jack and he’s in love with a girl ninja named Ashi.”

So now I’m like OMG, your parents are letting you watch the new Samurai Jack on Adult Swim!? What is even happening right now. Like... she started telling me all about Aku and Jack and Ashi, and was very adamant that they were in love and Aku turned Ashi evil. She threw in some Michaelangelo and TMNT... this kid was awesome!

So... I decided to draw her more doodles of Aku and made her some paperdolls shaped like Jack and some other crafty stuff for her siblings too (because crafts are more fun that retail work) and they just sort of roamed around with bags of my doodles and papercrafts until their parents got done shopping for clothes. 

It was definitely a twist to how I thought a conversation with a 6 year old would go. I have my faith in humanity restored thanks to this nice family and their awesome kids, especially that little 6 year old girl who is in love with Jashi.
