in between semesters craziness

So it's kind of been a while. Sorry about that. With finals and the end of the semester and moving out of the dorms things have been crazy, and I haven't worked in almost a week. Okay, so, today. Hmm, where to start. Well first off I sympathize with those who work in the grill/ice cream portion of the store. It was absolutely insane over there today. The Creamery gave every graduate a free single scoop coupon, and we have a lot of graduates. A lot. So the restaurant workers have been working their butts off. Well to start off the day, a guy came through my line and bought some chipotle something corn nuts. As I was scanning them, he was like "Don't those look so disgusting?" I was really puzzled as to how I was supposed to answer this question. Was I supposed to just agree with him? or was I supposed to support the item he was currently in the process of paying for. It really stumped me. I just looked at them and said that I wasn't sure. He laughed and said he was excited to try them. Alright sir. Have fun eating something you think looks disgusting. Weirdo. Haha this next one, is about you Julia, but you were going to count out as it happened so I didn't get to tell you. So if you are reading this, get ready. So as my co-worker Julia was going upstairs to count out, she waved all silly like and "miss america" like just to be funny. Right after she left a customer came through the other line, and in a fairly scoffing manner commented, "wow, that girl waves really funny, I mean, she was all like this" (as he made largely dramatized hand motions). It was pretty rude, but funny. We nicely tried to explain to him that she was kidding around but he was kinda odd and didn't really pick up on anything. Thats ok though. It probably made his day, seeing the crazy creamery girl waving her arms around in a ridiculous wave. Now its rant time! So when people ask you if the price something rang up as is the real price....Yes everyone, it is. Actually, no, that little number you see is just a joke and we have a secret price for all of your items. Ugh. And then, today, some kid bought some bread, and on the sign it said 2 for 3.00. He only bought one. It rang up as 1.50. So even I can see that 1.50 + 1.50 = 3.00, i.e. 2 for 3.00. But he looked at the screen and asked me "the sign over there says 2 for 3.00, so that would make one only 1.50, right?" this was after I had rang it up. And the price 1.50 had been established on the screen. I just kind of stared at him and said yes. He seemed so relieved. I don't understand why. It said 1.50, it was supposed to be 1.50. Why get all worked up? Who knows. Mostly stupid questions like that bug me a ton. Oh and the other big obnoxious mess I had to deal with today has to do with another one of my favorite rants. So people that live in Helaman can't use their Dinning Plus plans in our Creamery. Its their meal plan, they should know this. And most do, or just don't go all the way over to 900 to shop. But some do, and some don't know they can't use their meal plans. That happened today. With a huuuge order. The girl wanted to use her Dinning Plus and it didn't so I asked if she live in Helaman and I told her that hers didn't work here. And you see, many people put money on their Signature/school card and those work everywhere. So she was convinced that it had worked before. As nicely as I could I assured her it had not, seeing as we have never accepted Helaman Dinning Plus before. But she very surely told me "No I know it has, it just must not be now. I mean its fine if it wont work this time. I'll just have to go to Wyview" as if I would be offended at her going to another store. Except! not. I could give a rat's behind where she shops. Ha, my favorite was that he mom was with her, and when I told her she couldn't use her meal plan, her mom stepped in and said "Well she is an RA, does that change anything?" haha I just wanted to be like "What? oh she is an RA? Well why didn't you say so? She can do whatever she wants! Take whatever you want, don;t even worry about it, you're an RA." instead I just told her that meant nothing in this situation, and she then advised me we should put up a sign telling students from Helaman that their cards wouldn't work here. Or they could know the limits of their own meal plans? Hmm, odd concept. But I mean, that girl was an RA so, I should have probably just done whatever she said, even though she was taking a tone with me. Oh, and second favorite? She left her about 15 bags of crap there without even doing anything or apologizing. We had to put it all away. But she just huffily said she was going to shop elsewhere. With attitude I welcomed her absence. Ah well that was my day today. I hope it was entertaining to you all.
