Title: My Patriotism Was Questioned Yesterday
Post by: tracy on January 26, 2012, 01:40:46 PM
A guy who is a semi-regular customer came in yesterday who is known to be rude from time to time. I rang up his items then he handed me one of the most disreputable ten dollar bills I'd ever seen....that was still in circulation. I told him that my boss probably wouldn't want me to accept it and did he have another one. I said it in a polite manner but he then went into this ridiculous tirade about how this was American money and what did I have against American money and if I didn't like it I should just leave this country. I tried to explain that it was only the condition of the bill I had a problem with but he called me a bad American and invited me to leave. I stepped in there and said that to question my patriotism over a $10 was silly. He told me that he'd come talk to my boss about it so I gave in and took the crummy bill. Sheesh...I love my job!  :lookingup:

People like that always cheer me up for some odd reason. I mean, ya think you've got problems? How'd you like to be this delusional a-hole? All of a sudden your own life seems pretty darned fantastic after that kind of comparison   :teddyr:

So, you had your patriotism questioned by a crazy person?

Just consider the source and move on. Things like that are annoying though.

And tell him it's good old Amerian snot, and if he has a problem with it, he should leave.

Perfectly put! I work at 7-11, situations like this are very common. Many times I have to convince myself to just stop thinking about some jerk, when I finally do, I feel so much better.

I try to be forgiving and non-hateful, I believe hate breeds hate. Still...people are so hateable...  :buggedout:

You should have questioned HIS patriotism.  After all, he should have enough pride in U.S. currency to swap his raggedy-ass bill at a bank.  They would give him a new one and the raggedy one would probably be ear-marked for destruction, which is what the government does with most raggedy-ass currency.

       I wish I'd been there....Trace made me promise not to get into it with customers when I'm there, but I'm sure he would've heard me laughing my a** off at him.
