I’ve never worked retail. But I have had jobs that required interaction with crazy people. Tour guide: Tourist:”Who paid for all of this?”
Me: The restoration organization was very fortunate to receive an ongoing grant from (Insert large manufacturing corp. located in our state”
Tourist: “Well who makes sure the money doesn’t wind up in someone’s pocket?” (Seriously)
Me: “We have a small accounting staff of our on who must meet stringent reporting requirements to keep receiving the grant increments.
Tourist: “Sounds like a good way for someone to get rich ”
I’m a fricking tour guide, not an auditor.
Another Tourist: “But what was REALLY going on here?”
Me: “I’m not sure what you’re asking me…”
I just told you. What do you want???
BMV: Too many for here, but a lot of variations of people coming in to register very expensive vehicles and bitching about paying the taxes.

Worked at a taco bell. A storm blew in, there were funnel clouds in the sky, lightning was striking all around, we had to close the lobby because the heavy steel door were blowing open. At the same time we have a rush in the drive thru and the customers are screaming “4 chalupas and 3 quesadilla!” to be heard over the world ending outside and then screaming and crying because lightning hit 5 feet away from their car and the power goes out. It’s dark and there are no lights, the kids in their cry are crying they want their daddy bc they’re scared and the soaked lady is pounding on the drive thru window like we’re gonna install a gas generator so we can make their psycho tacos while they are being killed by nature 4 feet away from us. It’s taco bell, please stop being crazy.
Lol. I remeber this one American customer who threw a full on toddler style tantrum because we wouldn’t take his American cash (it’s too easy to counterfeit and we don’t have the means to check American bills because we aren’t fucking america). His whole argument “but it’s legal tender!” Yes, in AMERICA. Just like how the yen is legal tender is Japan and the Euro is in Europe. We don’t take those either because we are not those countries! He could not wrap his head around the fact other countries have their own “legal tender” that isn’t American. And when I say tantrum I mean rolling on the ground screaming like a toddler who needs a nap.
