They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail

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 favor.  She became indignant and informed me she was educated and knew what she was do ing, and returned the money again. I gave her the money back, same scenario!

I departed the store with the $46.64.

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?'



They Walk Among Us!

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 dialed 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.

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 parlor, 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!

Cynthia (smooches). My wife and I went to a Rainblow (oops, rainbow) Food store and purchased $86.29 worth of groceries. We had carried along a portable calculator as I had stopped at the bank on the way home, asked for a $100.00 bill, and then stopped and picked my wife up at the house who was waiting, and we did not want to run up over the 100 dollar mark.

As the cashier was ringing up the phone, she said, "Oh, where did you find an outlet to plug that thing in at"? That should have been our 1st clue that she was from NASA.

She then said, $86.39, but I believed it was more of a typo on the calculator, so I gave her the $100.00 dollar bill. My wife scooted around me to start bagging, and the girl gave me back the $100.00 dollar bill and the reciept, so I said, "no, I just gave you the hundred", and IMMEDIATELY she became defensive and said, "NO YOU DIDN'T"..

I said, "yes ma'am, I did, and I have (I pointed towards the food my wife was bagging with the hand that held the bill), have $86.39 worth of groceries". She said, "no, I don't make mistakes, and I gave you the right change sir" in a foul, angry tone.

Just then a manager came up, I explained that I had stopped and got just 1 $100.00 bill from the bank, had bought those groceries (and again pointed to where my wife was trying to motion for me to come), and I then said, "she gave me back the $100.00 bill, the receipt and we have the groceries. I said, she should have given me $13.61." He looked at the receipt, looked at the groceries, and (get this), he said:

"Sir, we'll do the books

in the morning, and if there's an overage, we'll call you!!!!"

This man did not know us, did not have our phone number, and didn't know if he could find his @#!$ if he was sitting on both hands.

We took the $100.00, took our groceries, and went home.

THEY WALK EVERYWHERE, and so does their BOSSES.

I love God so much. Additionally, I love my family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors. You know what I try not to do? I consciously make efforts in not taking any of these people for granted. Life is so short. If I could change the world, I would end ignorance. If I could change the world, I would end hunger. If I could change the world, I would end poverty. In my new world, people would take responsibilty. People would not be mean. In my world, there would be equality, justice, love, and righteousness. Life is short. I'll work on me and try my very best to be a beacon of light. Will I be perfect? Nope, I'm just a work in progress with strong opinions.
