homeless guys + idiot donaters = ?
customers are NOT supposed to dump their god damn couches overnight. i found a homeless guy sleeping on the couch with an 80's porno mag (the pictures were really old) and his pants half way down. NO underwear.
homeless guys in general
again, customers are NOT supposed to leave donations overnight outside. homeless guys literally rummage thru everything for w/e theyre looking for and leave giant messes. on one day, we found the mess of clothing had been pissed on
homeless guy kept coming inside to sleep on our couches. was kicked out by me 3 times in the same day and all he could say is GOD I JUST WANT TO GET SOME SLEEP.
single public washroom horrors
there's only one unisex washroom available to the public at the VV i worked at. on the weekend, a customer came to tell me that the washroom was backed up. so i grudgingly went to check it out. not only was the toilet plugged, people KEPT GOING ON TOP OF IT TILL IT FILLED UP AND THEN SOME. the dirty toilet water was starting to spill OUT of the washroom and onto the sales floor. needless to say, I WAS OFF OF CARROTS FOR MONTHS.
eventually, we would just slap an out of order sign anytime there was a plug reported. and we told customers that there was no other washroom to use, which is a total lie but who cares?
mainland chinese tourists
a group of partially drunk mainlanders came to my till and wanted to pay for their items with Chinese money. when i told them they can't pay with that (in broken, horrible mandarin), they were completely confused and angered. WTF THIS ISN'T CHINA.
there's a restaurant next door and on many occasions i found them pissing in between our two buildings INSTEAD of using an actual washroom. wtf...
cops who don't really care
people steal shit all the time from us. we DO call the cops. as i was reporting the latest details of a stolen jacket, the female cop asked me "so how much was the jacket priced at?" and i said "$15". her reply "and what do you expect to happen?" me "uhhh... find him and charge him?"
racist and crazy white guy
so a bug-eyed dude comes up to me and says in a rushed voice, THAT GUY JUST STOLE A JACKET CALL THE COPS. and he runs out of the store seemingly in pursuit. i went to the office and checked out the recorded video. found no evidence of anyone walking out with a jacket. dude returns a few mins later and says to me "WHERE ARE THE COPS? I FOLLOWED THAT GUY FOR 3 BLOCKS" and i said something like "i didn't see anyone stealing a jacket on video". He mutters something to himself and starts to walk away. he stops, turns around and decides to say to me "YOU SHOULD GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY", my response "OHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH". he walked away after that lol...
just for fun
there was a lady who literally looked like jaba the hut. fat and same exact face except she had red dyed hair and lipstick. the resemblance was UNCANNY.
