I was stocking a shelf and this dude rolled up to me in one of those scooters

Him: you have organic milk in a box

Me: we have it in cartons in the cooler

Him: No. The organic shit. The uhh rice milk.

Me: Aisle 17 I think

Him: thanks. Man this coronavirus shit is getting on my nerves.

Me: lol yeah it sucks

Him: good thing I'm voting for Trump

*He very slowly rolls away*

The dude was like 80. Apparently hes into rice milk and passively pushing his political ideaology on retail slobs

Back when I was the manager at a grocery store, my best friend, who sadly passed away a couple of months ago, he was the frozen/dairy manager. I was in the store overnight the night before and was getting ready to get off and the store had just opened for the day. My friend was about to get to work and this customer asks me if we have buttermilk. I was exhausted after a 12 hour shift and was like, "I don't know. The dairy manager will be here in just a minute." The guy was cool and said ok, I'll wait for him. He asked me his name and I told him it was Richard. So, less than 5 minutes later, Richard comes in, and the guy says, "You must be Richard. Do y'all have any buttermilk." Richard said, without skipping a beat, "Shit, I don't know. I just fucking got here." I laughed my ass off and went home. Richard went on to be a co manager before he passed away. He did not give a single shit. Funny dude.

That's funny as fuck because that's exactly what a frozen dairy dude would say 😆 sorry he passed away. He sounds like a funny ass dude

Lmao pat don't give a fuck

Yeah dude I don't get the political shit. It makes no fucking sense. People come up to me all the time letting me know it's bullshit that they have to wear a mask and that they're voting for Trump. Like I give a fuck. Mother fucker I come here to hide in the bathroom not listen to your bullshit. Get your raisin bran and fuck off, Ethel

How many sisters do you have?  I only know of one, but she's not even close to old enough to work, so. . .

Well at least he was fairly decent to you. I had an old man call and demand representation. When I asked if he could share some details about his injury, he yelled “No! I’m going to talk to the goddamn lawyer about my injury! I’m 80 years old and am not going to talk to some lowly clerk!”
