and for my next trick...
In a truly momentous act of procrastination, I have spent today studying for my maths test on Tuesday rather than the one tomorrow. No, I'm not sure why either.
And because I know everything about conics now and don't want to have to start on logarithm integration, I shall regale you all with tales from work yesterday, because I swear there was some kind of competition for Most Irritating Customer going on.

Guy with cute english accent: *buys four day-old bags* Can I have a plastic bag?
Me: Okay...
Manager: He's already got four bags, he doesn't need another.
Me: Sorry, not for day-old. You can carry it like that, can't you?
Him: What? No! Give me a plastic bag!
Manager: Sorry, no.
Him: Up yours! Come on, I want a bag! How much do they cost, like nothing?
Manager: It's not the cost, it's the environment.
Him: Get LOST. *storms out*
Me: *cowering near the slicer*
Manager: Don't mind him, he's a prick.
Me: Oh. Right.

Three sweet-looking little old ladies: We'd like this swiss roll.
Me: Okay *puts it in box, starts to pack into bag*
One old lady: So how much will that be, dear?
Me: Swiss rolls are fifteen dollars.
Her: *screeches* FIFTEEN DOLLARS?
Other customers: *look around*
Me: *ohshit*
Her: We're not paying FIFTEEN DOLLARS for afternoon tea! Put it back, we'll get something else!
Me: *gritting teeth* Sure.
And the winner is...
#1
Couple: We'd like two spinach and ricotta parcels to have here.
Me: Sure. *puts one onto plate with tongs, hands to lady*
Lady: *sits down*
Me: *repeats, hands to man*
Man: *looks at parcel* *looks at me* Look, I'm going to have to ask you to give me something else. You touched that when you were putting it on the plate.
Me: *had steadied it with my THUMB to stop it from FALLING OFF* ...okay.
Ain't retail just grand?
Also: *gurgles* I love this meme.
