The locals are just creepy and cringe-worthy and just blatantly weird or aaaargh stay the hell away from me - first impressions that sadly still are true for some of them (I'm talking about the drunkards who smell), but the rest are actually really cool and bring a smile to my face oh it's him/her again :) At work that is :D
- I still do not really talk to them :D just say Hi, how are you, then when sometimes they have something to say, I listen while serving them on the till and make a sound and a face that mimics theirs because 85% of the time I do not really understand what they say because I do not pay attention :D
- I've managed to teach some of them how to say Hello in Estonian, btw as I recently learned it means 'come here' in Welsh and you'd say that to a dog -.- Thanks for shitting all over my language.
- One guy (old man) actually said that when someone asks him who he's doing he replies with: ' Rather good, I get money from an Estonian girl each week so life's pretty good' LOL really? just to clear things up, I do not give him money, I just pay out his pension or whatevs, 'cause we do that in food shops here in Britain
- I've been hugged by three customers (old men)... talk about awkward - I do not hug them back, just stand there awkwardly and walk away with rolling my eyes like wtf just happened??? - they do not see it of course ;)
- When I went back home for two weeks during Christmas some customers had actually asked where I'd disappeared to and said that they like me... Awwwww... I like you too! (maybe, I do not know who they are, if they are the creepy drunkards then NO).
- They actually notice when I'm working more than my regular hours. In the summer some people asked me if I have a life outside the shop at all because I was always there and now that I did two weeks of 39 hours one guy yet again asked if I even go to a university because I'm always in the shop when he comes in :D Well.... welcome to my sad-sad life and thanks for pointing out that sadness.
- Once I had a discussion about where the word vodka comes from and surprised that old man when I said I already knew it comes from the Russian word for water. ' HOW DID YOU KNOW?' LOL, well common sense, if you know what I mean ;)
- A couple of days ago two guys (young ones this time, even I get lucky once in a while ;) ) came in with some toys :D that allowed them to see over the shelves to the next aisle, it was soooooo funny to watch :D like little boys :D and they were so happy! When they came to purchase something they were all cheery and said my name in their greeting awwww... you made an effort :D lol they literally made my day.
- One guy (regular customer, a young man) bought some tobacco and we had chocolate shortcakes next to the till, he was looking at them and saying how tasty they are etc. but still hesitantly stated that he will not buy them and when I asked if he's sure because it is only a pound he literally started running away screaming nooooo don't tempt me! :D
- I once saw a regular customer at a different shop, when I was shopping for food as well, made small talk and then he asked me where something is and I'm like how the f should I know??? I do not work here. LOL pointed in some direction and hoped it was right (as I usually do) and ran away :D
That's the little things that make me happy at work :D amongst others :D
I just have to mention how Emma maliciously made me fall down on my bum and nearly broke ten vodka bottles - it was hilarious :D Luckily it was in a camera blindspot - I checked later, you can only see Emma opening the door that I was leaning on and then stopping, bending down (to see if I'm okay since I fell on the floor). The other camera just shows my leg stretching suddenly and bottles falling but no one will notice unless they're specifically looking for it. No harm done, I didn't even get hurt at all and all the bottles were fine, so when Emma went to serve the customer waiting I just died of laughter under the tills, wondering if the customer had noticed or heard me scream out WHYYYYY???? Did I scream I out loud or just in my head? I do not know....
Ttyl ;)
Jazzz...
