1. There were like three white people in the store, and the customer I was assisting was dark-skinned (but he spoke perfect English with a slightly Boston-sounding accent, and I'm honestly not a person who can tell a person's race unless they're, like, dark dark brown or something, so I have no idea whether he was black or Middle Eastern or what). This old white man who's all buddy-buddy with Jeremy sees my customer come in, waits a minute, then comes over and hands him a Chick tract. After the old man goes away, my customer just kind of looks at it and goes to throw it out, and I get it out of the garbage can just because I'd never seen one before. When I looked at it, I saw that it was "the sky lighter," which is about, basically, how evil Muslims are. No wonder the old man gave it to my dark-skinned customer. Racist fuck.

2. I had another guy come in and make a copy of a photo of two bears having sex. The bear who was on the bottom had her paw over her forehead like she had a headache or was trying to see something far away, y'know that gesture. So fine, whatever. What makes this story weird is that as he was ringing out, the guy tells me without provocation that he's getting this copy to give to a friend of his, because she likes to have sex doggy-style so she can see the tv, and he's going to write "i can't see the tv from here!" as a caption on the photo. WHY would you tell a complete stranger that out of the blue? Jesus god.

3. I had another customer start to tell me about a book she'd recently read, but she stopped partway through and said "wait, you probably don't read, do you?" Double-you. Tee. Eff. Right, because I work in retail I'm an idiot. I forgot.

Wow, how do you not poison all of them? That would drive me nuts. All of it.

"Yes, ma'am, you are exactly right, I am a moron."

And then you beat her brain in.

Chebus Grod.

How you keep from going on a killing spree every day is a constant source of wonder.

Reminds me of a quote from "Ghost World"

Enid: How can you stand all these assholes?
Rebecca (works at a Starbucks type place): Some people are OK. But mostly I just want to posion everyone.
