In a weak moment I decided to take on a part-time job in the retail world. While for the most part I enjoy my job there are a few annoyances I would like to share.
1. iPod Girl - the "too cool" to be here girl who can only tolerate the world around her via her iPod.
2. Hands Free Phone Guy - the guy who is so important that he cannot remove his star trek-like hands-free device while shopping. I especially enjoy never knowing if he is talking to me or into his phone.
3. Multi-Taskers - Customers who feel the need to continue or start phone conversations while checking out. While paying for simple purchases isn't such a difficult task that I need their full attention, it is uber annoying and virtually impossible to provide good customer service to someone who is on the phone. I find the best way to deal with these idiots is to ask them as many questions as possible, "How are you today? Did you find everything okay? Do you have a member’s card? Is that Debit or Credit? Would you like your receipt in the sack or with you?" This way, hopefully, I've annoyed them as much as they've annoyed me.
4. Checkers - Those who apparently are living a decade behind and still write checks. Get a Visa Check Card you freaks!
Other than that, it's great!

Thank you, thank you!!! I, too,(being a waitress) am well acquainted with the hands free phone guy as well as the multi-tasker aka the one who doesn't know when to put their cell phone down. Another one of my favorites is the one, when asked "How are you today?", simply stares at you as if you should already know the answer to that question. It's not like I really care how they are today, but, for the sake of protocol, can we please get the questioned answered sometime today so we can move on?
Love your blog!
I'm a freak? Is that better than a geek? : - )
