Ugh.. Customers at work were freaking annoying today. It's like working with immature children sometimes.
So hear this right, I work at a recycle shop. I was just filling the shelves, like I should, doing it extremely needly, may I add. Then this lady comes to me;
Lady: ''Hey, why is this salt and pepper shaker 40 cents and the other 60 cents?''
Me: ''Well ma'am, that's due to the method used our sorting center. There's no defined price for salt and pepper shakers, meaning that there might be a slight fluctuation in price. So this one just slightly more expensive then the other one.''
Lady: ''Oh, well, congratulations.'' (in a passive-aggressive way)
I ignored that last remark as if I didn't hear it. Keep in mind that it's a 20 cents fluctuation. I wanted to rip her a new one and give her an hour lecture on how her type of behavior affects and strengthens this money obsessed society, but unfortunately store policy forces us to enable these greedy, society downgrading, jerks.
So later, I was still filling shelves. The same lady comes to me:
Lady: ''You don't have a clue about the worth of these things, do you?'' (That's exactly what I'm trying to learn there, by the way. The worth of older things.)
Me: ''Why so?''
Lady: ''Because something really cheap is priced very high (the 20 cents extra *disappointment-facepalm*), and something antique really cheap.''
Me: ''There's antique in there?'' (Again, I'm learning to spot antique things.)
Lady: ''Yes. But I'm not going to tell you, so that another customer can have it for a bargain.''.
.. I'm going to give a moment to reflect on that.
I'm not going into the specifics on what thoughts went on in my head at the time, but I can hint that it were very creative twists on both ''Coitus'' and certain parts of one's rear end. I remained very polite, though.
It's just disappointing. This kind of mentality makes me wanna puke.
