Me: Alright your change is $30 and here’s your receipt. If you’ll just pull your vehicle up these gentlemen will be more than happy to load this up for you.
Customer: *puts away receipt and change* Oh here you go, I have a coupon for $10 off.
Me: I’m sorry but I can’t redeem a coupon after the sale has been completed.
Customer: Why not? I’ve got the coupon right here, just take the $10 off….
Me: Ma’am, I’ve already finished your sale; you’ve paid for it, and I’ve given you your receipt. I have no way to go back and change that for you; it’s finished. If you’d like, you can stop by the Returns desk and they can take care of the coupon for you, but there’s absolutely nothing I can do here.
Customer: *As she’s walking away* What kind of damn store is this that you can’t take a fucking coupon?! I’ve never!!
Me: The kind that lacks a time machine….

today, a guy came in to want me to show him how to fill out some tax forms. who the fuck goes to a library to find out how to fill out a form, and why the fuck hasn’t he done his form before now? anyway, he asked me how to do it. i told him he might want to try asking the folks at the reference desk how to do it, since that section normally deals with tax forms and the like. he showed me the piece of paper, and said he needed to know what to do with it. i said, yes, sir, ask the reference desk worker; she’ll help you out. he thrust the paper in my hands and pointed to the area he needed help in. i pretended to read it and proceeded to tell him for the 3rd time to go to the reference desk. “oh, the reference desk? they can help me down there? oh, okay.” *guy walks off to reference desk*
*kt bangs head against desk*

But what if you had the time machine? You could go back and call in sick.
Of course you’d have to come up with something else to write about…

Actually Brent, then I could write about the many uses of a good flux capacitor.
