YUMMO!

One of my best meals yet!

pResEnts!

YAY! like Christmas allover again!

If I heard one more blond hoke I swear I was going to slap someone, and it would probably be Banana LOL! Anyways, this guy comes in, he has some scratch lotto tickets he wants to redeem I say "oooh are you a big winner" and he says "If I am will you marry me?" I say "well if its big enough..." It was $10.... but big enough.

For the next few hours he kept bringing them to me, telling me blond jokes and giving me a hard time. Now Banana is getting dragged into all of this too. Next thing we know he brings us these two stuffed bears... Oh joy right? lol they stunk, and we were worried. So we took pics to document our wonderful night!

I also took half of a 5 hr energy. I think half is the way to go if I do it again, maybe even less though. But half is definitely feeling better then a whole one.

The other night I had my biggest offer yet! $750 for a 3 some!! That's a lot of money.... Hmm.

Goodnight! Luvs to everyone. EVERYONE. And I am going to try and work off some energy so I can sleep!

Crossed for good Luck

SO this weekend I went home! Most everyone who reads this (um lets see... all of 2 ppl. thanks!) know that I was home this weekend but whatever.

Ride down was good. Sat next to a man that I named Gary. We had a good convo, different then the one I had with Leroy, with Gary it was more intellectual... with Leroy it was all about drinking and his big toe less foot...

Went home, spent Friday with the most amazing chica ever!!! Fa^1 spent lots of time laughing singing and at walmart... Then Saturday morning I woke up bright and early, hit the beach to rekindle a friendship, went well. Then partied for my birthday, went to a tips game. We lost. But the most amazing thing happened! Lincoln brought me roses! lol (he is so a male!) he loves me! I think one day the person under that costume will marry me. I mean remember that one time when he made out with me? that was wild! Then went to a country bar to pick up my dad where he was visiting some friends.... that was interesting.

Sunday was my family dinner, we had meatloaf! Then went to Panda's (no Fa^1 and city, that happens to be my bro's nickname too... i know its weird) and his GF's cabin. hung out and played games for a bit and went back home.

Monday I went with mom to Seattle, had lunch with my grandparents and I departed. Over all it was a good trip. It was nice to see everyone again and all the jazz. been a few months.

The plane ride was pretty mellow, sat next to a woman who refused to talk. But made friends with the guy across the aisle, his name is Kevin. We switched Ipods, I listened to his, he listened to mine. And at the end of the flight he pointed out that I never uncrossed me fingers. Odd but after thinking about it true. I also caught a taxi afterwards, and made friends with the driver. we were all posed to take a pic of us, but my cam wasn't working. SO next time I will have a pic with me and the taxi lol promise!

HuH?

Pulled into the parking lot at work, sat there for a few extra sex singing along to the radio, turned my car off. Took my deep pre-work breath and started to get my stuff together. This black SUV pulls into the spot next to me. I look into their window....

Its my Uncle! LOL Very random... But funny. SO we stood in the parking lot for a bit talking then I went to work, and he went on his way! lol it was very exciting. And confusing...

tIrEd!

I am sooo Tired! Banana and I worked just the two of us tonight. We normally have four cashiers! And she still had manager stuff to do, so she left me alone a lot! I was ready to kill her lol.

Peanuts.

Anyone know whats going on with them?? Apparently I have not been watching the news enough. I had a gentleman kindly (ha yea right) inform me that I was trying to kill him because almost all the products in our store had peanuts in them. He continued yelling at me because I am "naive" to not watch the news and keep up with what is happening around me. My comment back was "that's why I work here, look you just filled me in!" He didn't like that. Stormed off grumbling some more about how I am trying to kill him.

Boy I hope corporate doesn't get a note about that one... could be hard to explain.

2 in 1 Kinda of a Night

OK flashback... two posts ago, maybe three, title "we were played" take that psychotic woman (recap: claimed she slipped, actually just stealing from the store as I walked around doing things for her) And then take the psychotic woman from the last post "buckcherry" (recap: the one with multiple personalities, and claimed she was with the band) and have them come in on the same night...

That's how our shift started. Started with buckcherry not paying a taxi driver, having him get all pissed off and drive away, and then her coming inside, eating at the restaurant, and have the manager from there walk over to Patricia to "vouch" for buckcherry! Patricia (who now realizes this woman is indeed psycho) says absolutely not, I could lose my job for that. We all knew she wouldn't come back to pay. So Banana and CJ (restaurant manager) walked her outside and told her not to step foot on our property again since she was unwilling to pay her bills. If we caught her on out property the cops would be called.

Meanwhile they are outside and in walks the lady who "slipped" in our bathroom, we will call her Slip lol. Anyways, slip and her boyfriend want a shower. And I knew right away they were going to get kicked out, I knew next time they came in they were goners. But I don't have that authority. I gave them their shower, and told Banana immediately of our new guests. Slip and her boyfriend were done, the sat down at the restaurant and we all made it very apparent that we were watching them... Eventually Slip got up and came over to talk to Banana. And that is when Banana told her that she needed to leave the property immediately. They could finish their dinner, and pay, and they needed to get off the property and never come back. She claimed she didn't steal anything! "take my word for it" is what she said. What does she think? We didn't see her on the camera? Who else is practically a midget, looks like trailer trash and was right there on the camera's talking to me and making me look like an idiot! It was her! We all know it.

So yep. That was my beginning. It took a long time to get to the end. But all and all I had a good night, lots of dancing going on (it was banana, Patricia and I, all girls we had to party!) Lots of flirting... not from me, from the guys... and Patricia lol. She is a new single lady and I think she is loving the attention!

Then the end of my night ended just perfect, the way I wish it could end every night. And I will fall asleep with a smile on my face. Right about.... Now... Luvs!

BuckCherry

Another day... another psycho

Yesterday a woman came in during swing shirt wearing a buckcherry t-shirt (for those of you who don't know, buckcherry is a band) Patricia and this lady started talking, the lady ended up telling her that she was with the band. And they were here at the truck stop in the movie theater watching a movie... Patricia believed her. Mainly because the lady told her that she would give her free tickets to a concert and some souvenir stuff for her daughter. Patricia was so happy she was the "cool mom" lol. She gave the psycho lady her phone number.

Swing Shift comes along, Patricia tells me that buckcherry was there... I was like OK that sounds weird but OK. The night goes on and the lady comes back, and back and she keeps coming in. Talking to strangers and bugging them. She has multiple personalities, I mean this lady is WEIRD! She keeps carrying around our baskets, going outside and asking people for money. We are starting to think this lady is a lot lizard. So we all keep our eyes out for her, make sure she isn't stealing anything.

Meanwhile, Patricia is getting phone calls from this lady, and another man, named Troy... They are continually calling and asking where they can buy pot from, and if Patricia will have sex with this man... Very odd I know.

I think momalo was right, it was a full moon last night.

OPEN

Tonight I think I set a record for how many stupid things I can say, and have them twisted around to be dirty by a truck driver.

The worst one... I was opening up my register right as one of the drivers walked up, without thinking I said, "I opened just for you" he looked at me, raised his eyebrows and it took me another 10 or 15 secs to realize what exactly that came out like. So then I'm sure you can imagine... I blushed. And the guy says "whoa I have never seen anyone get so red!! I think she might explode!" Yea. thanks, thanks a lot.

At another point there were these 2 Canadian guys, he wanted a cash advance, he asked he how much I would like of it. I told him I would love to take it all. But I would feel guilty. And then the guy goes oh so you don't want money? And I said "No of course not!" and the guy looks to Mennis and asks, are you her pimp? LOL the guy kept coming back in and trying to make deals with Mennis for my "services" Dennis kept saying that he was offering too much! What a nice guy lol.

Oh and then the other embarrassing part was when a gentleman, early 3o's was buying a beer. I asked for his ID and he was shocked I needed to see it. He says I don't know if I have one... I have my library card. I said well that doesn't help. I have a library card and I cant buy beer! So he goes, "no you don't get it, its a library card for a sex library, maybe you could borrow it sometime...!" LOL wow

Other then that. Apparently I am a prude. I kinda take offence to that. I guess by not acting outlandish and sexual at work this makes me a prude. I'm sorry.

Flashing LIGHTS

(writing that sooo made me think of the song where is goes...."flashing lights..." you know in that creepy voice? But I cant think of what else happens in the song... LOL)

So the other day I went downtown to get Beaner from the train station. His train was coming in at 1:30 am. I get off the freeway and all the traffic lights are going crazy, blinking red and yellow. SO I was like ok. There was no one else out and about so it made it pretty easy not having to fight with traffic. I figured it was because there was an outage or something.

This morning Beaners train was leaving at 2 am. Again we went downtown and the lights were doing the same thing! We decided that at a certain time they turn the timers off and just do it so people have to treat them like stop signs. It was very confusing. But I made it home safely.

And might I mention, Downtown Spokane in the wee morning hours is NOT fun. Seriously it is like a ghost town, all you see are bums. Kinda scary.

We were played...

We will call this particular customer in the following story... PSYCHO

Psycho: There is water on the bathroom floor, I almost slipped, you should clean it up before someone gets hurt.
Me: Ok I will go mop it up right now.

....Well here's the thing, we got busy it was just banana and I on the floor and neither one of us could run to mop the floor.

One hour laterish.
Psycho: I am going to need a pack of ice for my swelling sprained ankle.
Me: Ok when your ready just let me know. (at this point I have no idea what she is talking about her sprained ankle, but I wasn't going to argue, whatever I will get her some ice.)

She then goes to another cashier and tells them that she slipped in the bathroom, twisted her ankle, and hit her head on the counter! Not what she told me before. At this point it was time to pull a manager into this, now we have an incident report to fill out. Banana talks to her, we had to take pictures of the bathroom (where there was no water, and she told Banana that I must have already cleaned it up...which I never did) her face, and her "swollen" ankle. We filed the proper paper work and everything was good.

Psycho then came back AGAIN claiming her head was killing her and she needed some aspirin. I said wait one min I will run to the back and see what we have. I then told Banana that she was back... We gave her a couple samples of aspirin that we had in out First Aid kit. BUT. While I went to the back to get all of this Psycho played us. She took one of out big thermos cups that are about $10. She took the sticker off and pretended it was hers! I didn't realize it. She was so odd... and she claimed that she had a PhD. whatever!!

I know this sounds terrible but I feel like I need to paint a pic for you in your head. Imagine a woman about 5ft 3, terrible hair (split ends and just a bad dye job) crooked teeth... I mean missing teeth. I guess she has a photo shoot in two days.... and her face is swelling from hitting it on the counter. So as you can imagine we are making sure that she can have water, pop, coffee, anything that she might need. But we did not give her that thermos. She then proceeded to tell me about how she owns her own business... she is an athlete recruiter, she recruits people like Matt Hasselbeck. Apparently she is expanding and I would be a perfect Administrative Assistant, so she wanted my number... Odd I know! So i gave it to her... well kinda, I might have flipped a few numbers around.

All in all, this Psycho lady who has a PhD, owns her own athlete business, and models on the side is getting kicked out of our store next time she comes in. We have proof of her on the cameras stealing the mug and she is out of there! YAY!!!

PS: Cowboy is back... no one knows what to do... so we are just not talking to him lol.
THIS IS MY 100TH POST!!!!!! I knew something exciting would happen!
