You Know B.J?

When I asked a woman if she needed any help finding anything, she asked me if I knew B.J. I said
"No. I do not know B.J."
"Oh, well, he comes in very often. I was thinking you would know what kind of chips he likes. He comes in all the time."
"I do not know B.J. I also do not know what kind of chips he likes."
The woman then used her cell phone to call B.J to ask him what kind of chips he wanted. Because that is much more effective than asking the Photo Specialist. Just saying.

A woman came to the register while I was giving the girl at One her break. She was buying allergy medication and a single-serve juice. Then her sons came to the register. They looked to be in high school. The older boy asked to get Snickers, which were on sale. She said,
"No. Because it's one thing, then another, then another. I can't keep doing this."
"You can't afford 59 cents to get me a peanut butter Snickers?"
"I can. But...oh. Alright."
The other boy wanted Bianca breath spray and when she asked how much it was, they said with some annoyance.
"Its' like, 4 bucks."
"4 bucks!"
"Mom, please."
"Its' just that if I say yes now, then I say yes later then everything adds up..."
She was obviously having trouble saying 'no' to her boys, and they weren't even grateful! I really hope my kid isn't like that. I plan on schooling my son in the use of coupons and how money actually works. I thought about saying something to those little shitheads...but luckily I decided against it.

I worked a nine hour shift today. And it wasn't that bad. But my eye still hurts.
