They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail! :-)

[MR LIPP]

I was at the checkout of a K-Mart. The clerk rang up $46.64 charge.
I gave her a fifty dollar bill. She gave me back $46.64.
I gave the money back to her and told her that she had made a mistake in MY favour.
She became indignant and informed me she was educated and knew what she was doing, and returned the money again.
I gave her the money back. Same scenario! I departed the store with the $46.64.


They Walk Among Us!

I walked into a Starbucks with a
buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a Grande Latte. I handed it to the girl
and she looked over at a little chalkboard that said 'buy one-get one
free.' 'They're already buy-one- get-one-free,' she said, 'so I guess
they're both free'. She handed me my free Lattes and I walked out the
door.

One day I was walking down the beach with some
Friends when one of them shouted, 'Look at that dead bird!' Someone
looked up at the sky and said, 'Where?'

While looking at a house, my brother asked the
real estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he
didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, 'Does the
sun rise in the North?' When my brother explained that the sun rises in
the East, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, 'Oh I don't
keep up with all that stuff.'

I used to work in technical support for a 24/7
call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what
hours the call center was open. I told him, 'The number you dialled is
open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.' He responded, 'Is that Eastern or
Pacific time?' Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, 'Uh, Pacific.'

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car
designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in
the trunk.


They Walk Among Us!


My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed
that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought
2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport
baggage area, so I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman
there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry
because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. 'Now,'
she asked me, has your plane arrived yet?'


They Walk Among Us!


While working at a pizza parlour I observed a man
ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked
him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for
some time before responding. 'Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think
I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.'


Yep, They Walk Among Us!

and they Reproduce,

Unfortunately, you walk among us too. I would have gone back for the other 8 cases!

Somehow I suspect that the cashier would figure out that 10 cases for nothing is not the perfect business model.

Do you have an address for this store?

I was waiting for my order in a fast-food restaurant in Jackson, Mississippi, and watched an example...
One of the ladies behind the counter started brewing a fresh pot of coffee - with no coffee pot under the filter. Hmm.. this ought to be interesting...
Coffee starts draining onto the hot plate and the counter. "Oh my gosh!" - she grabs a half-full coffee pot and sticks it under the filter, then starts cleaning up the spillage (not too bad so far)...
Hmm.. but you just started a new full pot brewing, and basic physics says 1-1/2 pots of coffee won't go into a single pot.
As she is mopping up the last of the first spill on the floor, the second wave of coffee starts flowing out of the overfull pot - spattering down next to where she is cleaning.
Ok - what now? Aha- the pot is full, so take it out from under the filter - quickly! (Sloshing coffee out of the pot.)
Now - stand and look at the full and dripping pot in your hand and the coffee still streaming out of the brewer, across the counter and down onto the floor.
What to do? It took several seconds before some random synapses fired and she put the pot down and got an empty pot to put under the brewer.
Finally the drama is over - all that is left is mopping up the coffee on the brewer, counter, floor, and spattered for a couple of feet around.
By this time, I was expecting to see the manager come over and have a few words. The next part is what really killed me - she WAS the manager...

We need to find the Starbucks for our early morning events, and the store with the beer discount for the afternoon!

This is what happens when unemployment goes below 5%!
