AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I work on the butchery counter in a supermarket, which is directly next to and has a shared space with the fish counter. If I'm on my own on the department or whoever's on fish is busy or whatever I can serve customers on their side, and one time I had a guy ask me if we had any fish guts. Apparently he'd read they were good for cactuses or something? I knew we had fish guts from stuff that'd been prepared earlier but I don't think we're supposed to let customers have those and I didn't particularly want to fish them out of the bin (pun not intended), so I just told him we didn't have any.

Also today as I was finishing up and leaving the department, someone from customer service came up to me and told me a customer had bought these two bits of fish and frozen them, but then taken them back due to a foreign body they'd found in the package. I have a look and there's what seems to be a tiny worm in there? It was something that someone on my department had wrapped themselves too. How on earth did they not notice that??

I swear to god, there were at least four people who paid for their $10-$20 orders today with fifties or hundreds within the first TWO HOURS OF MY SHIFT.

I have $125 in my drawer at the beginning of my shift.

Do people seriously not carry smaller denominations than that?

If you want something better, how about people who order $20 worth of food for delivery, ask to pay with cash, and then fail to mention that they'll be paying with $100? Drivers only carry $20 in change with them; if you don't have personal change in your wallet that you can give to the customer, that guy's either not getting his food or he's tipping you eighty dollars. (While you might like that second option, it is woefully unlikely to happen.)

Customer: "No! I want you take the jalapeno sauce off the chicken quesadilla! It's for my dog!"



Wow OK

It's almost like I DON'T want to kill you right now.

PLEASE DON'T FEED PEOPLE FOOD TO ANIMALS PLEASE DON'T FEED PEOPLE FOOD TO ANIMALS PLEASE DON'T FEED PEOPLE FOOD TO ANIMALS

My cousins do that, I can see maybe once in a while. But they feed him better than themselves

This new job I'm in is working out well, I've already injured myself twice and bled quite a bit on both days.

Today I even managed to smear blood on several places of my shirt and pants before noticing I was bleeding!

Also, in some other section of the building, there's a guy that looks just like Rupert Grint with long hair.

Today while in the staff canteen I accidentally got a bit of chocolate sauce on my white uniform. I tried cleaning it up but ultimately decided it didn't matter because it just looked like a bloodstain so nobody would really pay attention to it.

The perks of working in a butchery

Friday I will be doing an interview to move to the lumber department. The guy doing the interview is one of the people who has been trying hard to get our HR lady to move me over there.

I feel confident that I'll get the job, since I already know where to find most of the stuff in the store.

That might be one of the only perks, really.

"Haha, good thing I work in a butchery - I made a huge mess while murdering that guy last night and nobody will even notice!"

No one will ever find the body

It's in the vegetable drawer.

When a customer makes a bad joke, or thinks they're being witty and funny, I always have this exact Arin laugh playing in my head.
This scene doubles as an example as to what kind of "jokes" the customers are making

Apparently when one of the butchers I work with was on the counter one day, someone came up to him and asked if we did crocodile.

there is so much that humans can eat that is unhealthy or even deadly to animals. so no, it's not ok, not even once in a while.

like, a french fry or something every blue moon won't kill your dog, but feeding it table scraps, not even like every day, just occasionally is asking for a slew of health problems and a fat dog. did you know onion can kill dogs? how about garlic? avocado? olives (or anything pickled for that matter?) do you know how much onion and garlic is in just about every dish you eat? did you know that dogs metabolise alcohol far faster than we do and just one beer can give them alcohol poisoning? most dogs are lactose intolerant, too, so a chicken quesadilla is basically spelling some serious stomach issues for that person's pup later. 'but shazza dogs love cheese' yeah they also love eating cat shit but that doesn't mean they won't get sick over it. keep it to a minimum and know your dog.

not saying that all table food is bad - raw or unseasoned cooked meats and many veggies are healthy for dogs (not cats, mind,) but you have to know what is ok and keep it to an occasional treat if you feed your dog commercial dog food. too much raw food can give them the shits if you aren't careful.


edit: i want to point out that this is pointed to the general you, not specifically you, todd.

I actually do know quite a few of the foods that are bad for my dog! Onions and garlic are the big ones because they are in EVERYTHING THAT TASTES GOOD, and there are things like raisins and tree nuts or something too, IDK. He usually just sticks to dog food.

But I did have some lady buy an Icee from me last night (I work at a convenience store). I asked her if she wanted a lid for it because who the hell doesn't want one and she laughed and said "No thanks! It's for my dog."

what in the fuck, what kind of person feeds their pets cherry icees.
