DEC 16th

Well I thought I would start today's post by giving you an insight into the topics which arose in my mind today.
-Cake batter flavored coffee. (Could make millions from that most likely)
-My on again off again relationship with my faux-hawk.
-Why do people flex in mirrors in public?(or in private for that matter)
-What makes people think the Toothpick is a socially acceptable tool.
-What is the correlation between my level of tan and my ability to sell.
-How could I become a millionaire from blogging?
-Why when I wear a blazer to work does it make me feel like I have a real job.
-If my cat Furio could talk, what would be the first thing she would tell me to do?

Today was another eventful day at the store full of unhappy employees and snow-frustrated customers. With so much snow on the ground I wondered what kind of shopper I would meet today. Unfortunately I came to find that the people the trek through this amount of snow are not in the best of moods. I was awarded a very special gesture today as a snow frustrated driver past up a parking spot I was standing in for one of my employees so they could jump my car (the battery seems to not want to work when you leave the lights on all day). The gesture consisted of rolling the window down sticking her head out the window and giving me a sturdy and robust head nod (no) while mouthing the word no just in case I could only communicate through lip reading.
Along with the window down head nod I witnessed a few other rude and rare gesture which I know any retail worker will sympathize with:
-The stare ahead ignore greeting customer
-The hands up i'm just looking yell customer
But none of these events could hold a flame to the mother of all rude customers, the,"your card has been declined" customer. This customer no matter what you say refuses to come to the understanding that they have over-drafted their account and has no money. This customer defies all common logic, whether from you or any bank on earth, anyone who could possibly even suggest that they have no money in their account, is the dumbest person in existence. Today's occurrence was a special breed though, this customer decided that it was in her realm of rights to call the bank from the line. This phone call as it always does escalated into a screaming match between her and an obviously (to her) less than qualified personal banker who proceeded to have everything from their sexual orientation to their elementary school education questioned. Amidst the yelling, onlooking customer were treated to a plethora of creatively used curse words as well as a few words used in ways one may not find proper. Needless to say this event ended as it always does the bank being right and the customer being wrong.

LIFE LESSON OF THE DAY: Don't spend money you don't have.
(Unless you have overdraft protection)
