RE: Just because


There's a website that's called "Not Always Right," which is basically retail horror stories.  I liked this one enough that I had to share:


Why Judgment Days Gonna Be A Cakewalk
Retail | Phoenix, AZ, USA

(Ive just finished ringing up some items for a customer and her daughter.)

Me: It looks like your customer card is about to expire. Would you like to renew it now?

Customer: Yes, I would.

Me: Okay, just press the green button on the key pad.

(The total rings up as $24.32.)

Customer: Okay, I want to pay cash.

Me: Okay

(We stand there for a few seconds as the customer continues to stare at the total on the register.)

Customer: Well, what do I do?

Customers daughter: Are you serious?

Customer: Yeah, there is no cash button. What do I do?

Customers daughter: Mom.

Customer: What?

Customers daughter: Hand the poor woman your cash.

Customer: *hands me cash* Im so sorryIm used to the machine telling me what to do!

Customers daughter, to me: Shes not too bright, but she is real pretty. Shell probably die first when the Terminators come.

Customer: Smart a**!

Simple Conversations, Even Simpler Minds
Restaurant | St. Augustine, FL, USA

(A customer comes up to the window where you pick up your order after your number was called. All he ordered was a biscuit.)

Customer: Biscuit?

Cook: Biscuit.

Customer: *****s head to one side* Biscuit?

Cook: Biscuit.

Customer: *****s head to other side* BISCUIT?

Cook: *picks up biscuit, shows the customer each side slowly* Bis-cuit.

Customer: OH! BISCUIT! *proceeds to take plate to table*

This one sounds like something Mema would do.

Pointless Paranoia, Meet Pistol Packin
Movie Theater | Rochester, NY, USA

(A young man asks for a ticket for an R-rated movie and hands me his ID. Im about to sell him the ticket when the lady behind him speaks up.)

Lady: Wait! That picture in the ID doesnt look like him at all!

(I look at the ID. It appears hes been sick since the photo was taken, but its clearly the same guy.)

Me: Well, maam, Im fairly certain that this is the correct ID. Now, if youd just step up

Lady: No! You cant sell to someone with a fake ID. He could be a terrorist, for Gods sake! You should call the police!

Me: Maam, that is definitely not necessary. I am responsible for checking identification, and I

Lady: I need to talk to your manager!

(I begin to respond, but the guy politely waves me off and turns to the woman.)

Man: Miss, I have another photo ID here, with a more recent picture. Do you think this matches?

(He pulls a card out of his wallet and hands it to her. She goes completely white.)

Lady: Well um yes, thats, uh, fine!

(She squirms for a moment, then exclaims, Ill be right back! She drops the card and leaves the theater in a hurry. I give the guy his ticket.)

Me: What was that you showed her?

Man: Oh, my handgun permit.

I kept thinking the same thing.  Except they looked less happy than their American counterparts.  They all look kind of bored.

Funny, but also makes you think about some of the statistics that you read:

Bread Kills!
1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.

2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.

3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations.

4. Every piece of bread you eat brings you nearer to death.

5. Bread is associated with all the major diseases of the body. For example, nearly all sick people have eaten bread. The effects are obviously cumulative:

* 99.9% of all people who die from cancer have eaten bread.
* 100% of all soldiers have eaten bread.
* 96.9% of all Communist sympathizers have eaten bread.
* 99.7% of the people involved in air and auto accidents ate bread within 6 months preceding the accident.
* 93.1% of juvenile delinquents came from homes where bread is served frequently.

6. Evidence points to the long-term effects of bread eating: Of all people born before 1839 who later dined on bread, there has been a 100% mortality rate.

7. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as a teaspoon of dough can be used to suffocate a lab rat. The average American eats more bread than that in one day!

8. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis.

9. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and being fed only water begged for bread after as little as two days.

10. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts.

11. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.

12. Newborn babies can choke on bread.

13. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.

14. Most bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.

In light of these frightening statistics, we propose the following bread restrictions:

1. No sale of bread to minors.
2. A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete celebrity TV spots and bumper stickers.
3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills we might associate with bread.
4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal to children) may be used to promote bread usage.
5. The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools.

No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick.
