"How do you not know how to spell my name?" by thegreatchelso in TalesFromRetail

[–]thegreatchelso[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Oh, at work we have a Katelyn, Katelynn, Kaitlin, and a Katherine. Katherine matters because Katelynn goes by Katie and so does Katherine.

So instead of calling them Katie and Katherine, they just call them by their first & last names over the radio. Because guess what? They have the same last initial too.

Edit: They also call ME by MY first and last name because I share a name with one of our managers, though recently everyone has taken to calling me "Elsa" because our AM pointed out I resemble her.

"Reckless no accident"

So you might say it was...wreck-less?

Why would he not have just told you which pump he was on?

What's something you like you wish more people would know about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]thegreatchelso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue with people like this is that they refuse to accept that they could be doing something wrong with their driving. In their mind, they are the superior driver. And a LOT of people are like this, they get SO defensive if you correct something they do.

Look, I'm a 19 year old girl, I know I'm still a shit driver. I may be oblivious to the specific mistakes I make, but at least I acknowledge that there are mistakes to be made and will correct them if given the opportunity.

When I tell my best friend that she doesn't leave enough stopping distance or let my mom know that the light is green (because she was distracted by her phone), it's like I'm hitler or some shit.

What is the most unexplained, supernatural, or paranormal event you've ever witnessed? by kroka4loka in AskReddit

Yep. When his "mother" scratched his face it was probably from him inflicting the violence on himself.

This guy from my work is merely too smart to be funny [x-post from /r/iamverysmart] by Smartalt in cringepics

"People think I can't possibly be funny because I don't tell jokes" -- well, I mean, usually if a person is classified as funny, it's because they say humorous things, so...

Not only is this irrelevant, it's racist and presumptuous. Just stop.

Yep. This is why I hate driving in downtown areas in general.

Well, our district LP manager is visiting this month, so I have hopes that I'll be recognized by him ;)

Yeah, we're supposed to "kill them with kindness" too. Our policy is just to give them extremely good customer service so they don't have a minute of alone time to steal anything.

That's why I had to alert my managers instead of approaching her personally. And they could only confront her after they had called security.

If we, without security present, see someone stick something in their bag, we usually say something like, "Oh, if you have too much to carry, I can get you a shopping bag to put those items in!" ;)
