Ever Wonder by Jacque – Many Work Retail

From time to time I have some everyday scenarios for you. Let’s just call this little column ‘They Walk among us and many work retail”.

There was a man at the checkout of a K-Mart. The clerk rang up a $46.64 charge. He gave her a fifty dollar bill. She gave him back $46.64. He gave the money back to her and told her that she had made a mistake in his favor. She became indignant and informed him she was educated and knew what she was doing, and returned the money again. He gave her the money back again… same scenario! IHe departed the store with the $46.64. And they walk among us.

A woman walked into a Starbucks with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a Grande Latte. She handed it to the girl and she looked over at a little chalkboard

that said ‘buy one-get one free.’ ‘They’re already buy-one-get-one-free,’ she said, ‘so I guess they’re both free’. She handed the woman her free Lattes and she walked out the door. They walk among us!
One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when one of them shouted, ‘Look at that dead bird!’.  Someone looked up at the sky and said, ‘Where’? They walk among us!
While looking at a house, my brother asked the real Estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn’t want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, ‘Does the sun rise in the north?’ When my brother explained that the sun rises in the East, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, ‘Oh I don’t keep up with all that stuff.’ They walk among us!!
I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, ‘The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.’ He responded, ‘Is that Eastern or Pacific time?’ Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, ‘Uh, Pacific.’ They walk among us!

I know someone that has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk. They walk among us.

.I oouldn’t find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and that I was in good hands. Now,’ she asked me, has your plane arrived yet?’

They walk among us!

While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding. ‘Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don’t think I’m hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.’ They walk among us and they reproduce…

And they want to raise minimum wage? Think about it… God bless you.
