so the wife and I are checking out of Costco today and the manager asks us if we would mind if he put an extra case of water on the bottom of the cart to make sure the workers are checking the receipts when we leave.

they are suppose to take the receipt, do a quick count and make their mark on the receipt.

i'm like sure...what do I care?

he puts the case of water on the bottom of the cart and he tells us an employee will be outside to take the water off the cart...

so, i'm heading to the exit and my wife is like "Oh NO!!, its a little old man!". I look and sure enough, this 70 plus year old man is checking people out...

I'm like oh chit....now what...b/c I know he's not gonna catch the extra water...fuk......I can't go back and the employee is milling around outside the door waiting for me...

so I go James Bond on em....as I hand him the receipt. I say under my breath..'check the water'...tried to say it w/o my mouth moving.:0003

well, of course he is either hard of hearing or didn't hear me..he looks at the receipt..makes his mark...and never looks at the cart...

the employee is outside just shaking her head...she grabs the water and mumbles..'he never even looked'...

well fuk me...i feel like an asshole..I hurry to the car and leave...we grab a bite to eat and I intenetionally go back and drive by the Costco and sure as shit...

he's gone...and the lady who busted him is standing there checking receipts with her red jacket......


damn....:sadwave: :sadwave: :facepalm:

:mj12: fukin Costco...

i guarantee I wouldn't have caught that extra water either...

What did you think they were gonna do?

And they weren't even gonna let you keep the water.

I bet that the old bastid knew he was getting set up. And when they called him out on the free waters he let by he punch that bitch square in the jaw.

Don't sweat it.

I hate that system they use and I hate the old fuks that stand there acting like they are doing something important and acting all superior.

I get all tensed up and start boiling as soon as I start heading for the door.

And when I have a FULL cart is when it really pisses me off because they can't tell shit.

Adding this to my pet peeve thread!

I feel bad betone lost his job..............:0003

:mj07::mj07::mj07::mj07:



In all seriousness, you guys must not manage people. When you pay someone that doesn't do what you pay them to do, they get fired. It sucks, but there is a fair exchange and the old man wasn't doing his part. Jeez.
