Today is Wednesday. Wednesdays are senior discount days at Kroger.
Seniors are senile bastards.

I get to work at 10am, and all is going well. I keep asking peopl if they're 55+, since that's what everyone told me when I first started what the senior discount was.

Then, some manager walked by and yelled at me about how the senior discount was 60+. Yeah. I was embarrassed after that.

But you know, some effective training would've helped. EVERY SINGLE employee I talked to said it was 55+.

Whatever.

I don't get why old people don't care about you seeing their liscence to write out a dumb check, but cuss you out for carding them for alcohol and tobacco.

Funny story.

My first wednesday, some old senile b***h was buying some cigs, and I asked for their liscence. She grumbled the whole way about me not asking for the liscence and instead asking her birthdate. I got the liscence through much bitching from her, and help from the person who was training me at the time who said I had to see the liscence.

Flash forward three weeks. I swear to god it's the same ******** woman. Buying cigs. I ask her birthdate. She goes apeshit on me. You don't need to ID me! I'm as old as dirt, I haven't been asked my age in 5 years, blahblah, dipshit dipshit, this is ridiculous, etc., etc.
1941 is all you need to know!

Yeah. Shut the hell up. -crumbles your carton of malboros-
You like that? Paying full price for damaged good? huh? HUH!

Oh god how I wish I could slap her in the face.

Do you not read the HUGE ******** SIGN that says "NO ID, NO SMOKES?" Do you? DO YOU?

Because I swear to god it's there.

You know, technically speaking, I could get fired for NOT asking your liscence, but you know what? I was nice. I asked your birthdate. b***h.

Then there's always the people who are like senior discount, senior discount, etc., etc.

Okay. I heard the first time. I gave you your ******** senior discount. I SWEAR IT'S THERE. It says it on the reciept.

"Did you give me my senior discount?"

YES. FOR THE GODDAMNED FIFTH TIME I DID, YOU ********.

Wednesdays are so fun. You get this nice array of people from sweet to bitchass.
From people feeding themselves airtubes to 40 year olds swearing they're 60.
I don't know if they're lying or just in some really awesome shape... But man.

And apparently. We're not allowed to doublebag any more. We need to save money on "expensive bags" HAHAHAHA.
Yeah. Hey, here's an idea.

Let's not bag at all. They bought all their s**t without putting it in a bag, what's the harm in going home without them? SRSLY.

Then there's the customary wallmart guy. They're always interesting.
They're the guy that complains about every price, saying it's cheaper at wallmart.
Hey, guess what? I agree with you.

But why the hell are you shopping at Kroger?

See, you're so close to having a brain.

You've:
1. Identified the problem.
2. Have effectively bitched at it.
Now, to really REALLY identify with that brain you're so closed to having, you could
3. SHOP AT WALL MART.

Kroger doesn't give a s**t about the people in it's store. It's all money.
It doesn't give a ******** about it's employees or its customers.
It's money.

Hey, Kroger. ******** you.
I never shopped there.
Ever.

Publix has a hell of a lot more customer service. Publix atleast ACTS like it cares. Publix is cheaper.
And so is wall mart.

And guess what? Publix is closer than Kroger!

The only problem was, Publix has high standards! So I couldn't get hired there! LOL.
WHAT A FUN FACT.

So. I talked to Will today after I got off work. It was interesting.
In the end I found out a few things.

1. Will does indeed like me, but I doubt it's of crush-category.
2. Victor is trying to play matchmaker and made everything up.
3. Victor got hit by a car, that's what the whole "blackman accent" was.
4. Will and I are seeing the Hills Have Eyes at 5:10 tomorrow.

Awesome. Well. The movie is. I'm not sure about the date.

But at least the movie will be awesome.

OH.

HAY GUESS WUT?

So, after I had this horrible day at work by constantly getting bitched at from the senior citizens who suck.

I come home, and I'm supposed to make the stationary thing. For actual money. ANd my mom is hiring me to do it. So, she wants to copy this other award format thing and change the text, basically.

I tell her to scan it in, and she does, and I put it on my USB drive, and I walk over to myc omputer, which has photoshop. I stick in the USB key, and.. Bam. My monitor goes black.

"That's weird."

I wiggle the mouse. Nothing happens. Turn the monitor on and off, nothing happens. I assumed there's not video input. So I turned off the ocmputer, made sure all the cords were tight, reset the computer. Nothing happens.

Restart a few more times... Still nothing.

Switch out monitors. No video input.

Great. My video card died. ******** RAH. What more do I need for this day to go any MORE suck-worthy?

So I go to C&T and ask for help on what I should do. Afterall, I suck with hardware and odn't trust myself installing even a DVD-Rom.

Someone I trust, we'll call her Jazz, told me to "reseed" the videocard, which means, with the computer on, loosen up the videocard, then tighten it back up after 15 seconds or so.

And I trust Jazz. So I'm like. "Well.. Despite the many things that APPEAR wrong with this, I'm going to trust her judgement.."

So, I ask "Will this 'reseeding' be a risk to my computer?"

Someone else replies that it will FUBAR it.

Wow. Okay. Jazz. My trust for you lowered a lot of notches. Good thing I asked, first.

I'm really hoping my video card is just dusty. It looks gray, like it's covered in silt. So I'm going to Re-SEAT the card, with the computer OFF, and see fi I can get all the dust off tomorrow. Or Friday. Whenever.

Only problem is, I don't have a pressurized cna of air, so.. I guess I'll shake the dust off... or something.

I'll think of something.

Anyway. Yeah. That's how my day sucked today. Total suckage.
