An Interesting Evening

"A Walk at Sunrise"


I had a very interesting evening at work last night so I thought I would blog about it this morning. First of all, I had set my alarm on my cell phone before taking my trazadone and going to bed. However I left the phone on my desk, forgetting to take into the bedroom so it would wake me at 8 pm. I woke with a start at 9:10 which luckily gave me enough time to shave and get dressed without too much of a rush. I arrived at work on time to find the grocery deliver being unloaded (it normally comes around midnight, not 10 PM). It was a fairly busy evening with lots of work to do in between little rushes of customers. Around midnight the Vice Squad had their little Tet a Tet at the coffee bar when a customer I call mush mouth came in. This guy talks a mile a minute in and unintelligible mushy voice. He has stolen beer from us before and once again stuck a 32 ounce can down his pants when the head Vice Squad Officer shut the beer door and flashed his badge, How stupid do you have to be to try to steal a beer by sticking it in your pants in front of a store full of cops? He was bent on proving his stupidity by cursing the cops and making a general nuisance of himself, so the officers cuffed him and set him on the ground while the paper work was finished up. When that was done and the transport unit had arrived he got up off the ground when told but proceeded to give the cops another ration of shit, he will live to regret this I am sure.

A little while later during a little rush, the guy tried to short change me by changing bills in the middle of the transaction and adding gas. I did give him the wrong change back, but I recognized this almost immediately and canceled his gas pump. I still had a line going when he stuck his head in the door saying his pump was not on. I motioned for him to come in so I could show him I knew his game. I had printed the receipt from his transaction and proceeded to explain to him, this is what you purchased, you wanted this amount of gas and this is the amount of change I gave you, you owe me 5 dollars. He tried to bargain saying can I give you 4 dollars and call it even (head 4 ones and a 10 dollar bill in his hands. I told him no, you owe me 5 buck for your gas. He got all pissed of at me when he realized the jig was u p. He thought he was going to bull shit a bull shitter or take advantage of a "stupid old man" by snookering me out of $5 worth of gas. Wrong on both counts. He got his gas, but he paid for it. He could get as pissy as he wanted to but it was pay up or drive away on an empty tank. I got my money and he got his gas. Fair enough on both parties, but it sure pissed him off. Not a problem for me as I prevented the loss of revenue for a piddly amount of gas he was trying to steal.

Then there was this guy who came in around 3 AM saying I had not given him his $10 cash back on his debit card transaction. I looked up his transaction on the computer and proved I had not given him cash back as he had not selected that option. I realize my store is at the corner of Crazy avenue and Stupid Street not far from its intersection with Really Fucking Weird, however just because I am old does not make me stupid or unaware of events transpiring in front of my face or at my register. Experience does still count for something in this crazy world.

So once again we have come to the beautiful part of every post here at Nichevo, the eye candy. Today I went to my earliest archive, Gallery 1 where I selected these humpable hunks au natural for these Hot Shotz to admire and inspire. Until next time as always, Enjoy!
