Ok then August 31, 2008
Posted by Sharny in : Scraps, Till Extracts, Work , trackbackRight, so, I’ve decided that I’m just gonna post my little work based nuggets here since I really can’t be doing with creating a separate attempt at an anonymous blog about it. As such, I don’t intend to say anything mean about people, merely just report on the cool/odd happenings of the day. I’ve been thinking about them since I started really but not yet wrote them down, so I’ll start with a few that I can remember
- A customer whos subtotal landed on both £6.66 and £13.37
- The first person to buy Mr Brain’s Pork Faggots. They really need to get that name political correctness checked.
- On that same vein, white cracker bread, which, if cracker was a racial slur anyone took any seriously, would be the racist equivalent of calling something black nigger* chocolate.
- Impressive sales, such as a person’s 71 item shop coming out to exactly £71
- And of course, lots of fun things such as totals coming out at numbers such as £23.32 among other examples
There is, of course, a ton that I’ve forgotten but hopefully if I document them each day that I’m there then some fun things will pop up.
*It should be noted that you shouldn’t take offence to this, it would be indeed wise to just do as I do and laugh at silly racism. You may, of course, say “oh but you don’t know what it’s like to have people hating just because of something you can’t change” when in fact, my obviously German surname and first name have caused me to be on the receiving end of plenty of hate. The obvious difference, of course, is that when someone calls you a Nazi, or Hitler, they are actually referring to a group or single person responsible for the deaths of millions of people, whereas when someone kills you a nigger it means almost nothing except for the meaning you (or society) give it. In that sense, I have little pity if you do choose to take offence.
