vladykins @ 31/3/2016 10:37 Why the fuck wouldn't he just put in his PIN? The fuck if I know. People get really particular about their payment methods.

Reason number 2,356 that I would no longer survive in retail without punching someone.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a custody battle over a robot next week.

I won a sales contest at work for Snyder's pretzels.

The chip readers at work are refusing to let debit cards go through as credit and my last customer took like ten minutes trying to get it his card to go as credit and he didn't wanna put in a PIN. I tried to explain but he was like "every other store lets me do it" and I humored him like "Alright you can try it again if you want. Maybe it'll work this time" because sometimes it does go through eventually, but I knew this card wouldn't because the reader had been doing this all day with debit cards and we've only had the chip readers up for like two weeks so there's all the "but I use it as credit all the time here!" people adjusting (and our system doesn't even have a credit or debit option for us to pick. it just goes by the card). I kept waiting for him or the lady with him to pull out cash or something (it was a less than $40 purchase) and I was like "You're welcome to try another card if you'd like" but noooo. And then after like the fifth try, he showed me his ID as if I was doing something to make the reader reject him (it doesn't even tell us why it declines a card. it just says to ask for another payment form) and I'm like "Yes, I agree that you're you and this is your card, but that's not why the card's being rejected..." cuz the system doesn't care whose card it is as long as it's legit and its bank lets its transaction through And the guy was like "Well I don't know why you all don't want my money" and my supervisor and I explained again that the people in charge of our vendor whatever shit made it so that our reader system doesn't let chip cards work as credit cards without PINs anymore (and it won't let chip cards be swiped unless it detects that the chips won't work), and then he gave up and decided he didn't want his item anymore. And I was glad, because he was the last customer in the store and I could finally close my register.

Why didn't he know his PIN? I hate when people blame the cashiers for stuff like that. I had a guy in front of me who took forever taking out his card, putting it in the reader, it didn't work, he had to do it again. He bitched at the cashier because he was asked for I.D. I'm happy if they ask me for I.D. - that means if someone who is not me is using my card then maybe they'll ask them for I.D., too. Anyway, it caused me to be really nice when it was my turn because I felt sorry the cashier had to deal with this bozo.

I turned green.

It's VERY hot in my room right now. Remembering that is actually worse in the actual summer is not making me look forward to the last leg of the semester.

OMG, just realized the GoDaddy guy is Curtis

drr's picture helped me figure it out

Have you tried opening a window?

All the windows were opened, the building is just very poorly ventilated so even when the windows are open there isn't a lot of airflow.

I had a package scheduled to arrive today via UPS. It showed up at 1:30, while every normal person is working. They couldn't drop it off because it was "too big to leave". WTF does that even mean? It wasn't too big to get on the truck, but the lazy ass driver couldn't lug it out of the back? So, instead I have to call the office and they say, "Come in tonight between 8:00-8:30, and pick it up". So, I say, ok, what other options do I really have. I then drive 30 minutes to the other side of town, wait in line for 30 minutes, and when I get to the front, the guy scans the slip the driver left, and "Sorry, but I don't have anything in my system."

"But the lady on the phone said it'd be here and I should show up tonight."

"Yeah, but look, nothing in my system."

"So, what do I do now?"

"Well, it's probably just riding around on the belt in the back. I'd come back tomorrow morning and it'll probably be here."

"Probably?"

"Sorry sir."

:merc:

Fuck you UPS.

Do you need your double-ended dildo that badly?

I didn't know they made 90 lb dildos.

Yeah, so my girlfriend ordered some painting from Australia or some shit in like December (fuckin women, amirite?) and so it doesn't get shipped until the end of January and it takes over a month to get here for some reason.

It was being delivered USPS and i guess the policy is that they have to attempt to deliver it twice and if they cant deliver it they send it back to the post office.

So "apparently" they tried to deliver it twice on a Tuesday in the middle of the day. Well I have tuesday's off and there was never an attempt to deliver and there was never a note left or anything.

So my gf didn't realize that they had even made an "attempt" so when she gets home on Friday she heads over to the post office and asks to see if her package had arrived or whatever and they told her that its policy that they only hold it for 2 days after the attempted delivery and if the person doesn't come to claim it, they return to sender.

So my gf's painting is being shipped back to Australia where now if she wants it, she has to wait for a month for it to get back and then pay the sender more money to reship it.

So yeah, fuck the U.S. Postal Service.... although i really dont want any fucking art in our apartment.

DUDE USPS are suck fucking cunts, there I said it, they are.

Same thing happened to me. I bought a lot of video games/NIB action figures from some dude and USPS fucked up so many times. Like they did the same shit where they tied to say they delivered it and left a notice but I was home. So I had to pay the dude $10 to resend it because ti got returned to sender. Eventually I had to go the the actual post office to pick it up (this was the 2nd time I got it sent and they still fucked up)
