THAT MONSTERMy current pet peeve: I regularly shop at a small locally owned store, as I like to give them the business, but one issue just won't go away.
I track all of my finances electronically, and I only want paper receipts for big ticket items and things that I may need to return. None of these things apply at this store. Therefore, I tell the cashier to toss my paper receipt, as I would just do it later at home.
Most of the cashiers have no issue, and most remember me, so I don't even need to mention it. But one cashier ALWAYS makes it an issue. Everytime I say, "toss my receipt", she says, "But you need to sign it!"
Of course, I reply, "No. I mean my copy."
At this point, she will hand me my receipt as if I had said nothing. Therefore, I have taken to then asking, "Do you have a waste paper basket?"
Her: "Yes."
I then hand her my copy of the receipt and she tosses it.
This began 5 years ago. It has not changed. I shop here twice a week, and I still go through this every time she waits on me. Of course, if I was a bright man, I would cease all of this and just accept reality.
Unfortunately, I am not a bright man.
where you been, gb? All good?
