Ace Translations

Things I often hear from my customers and what they really mean:

They say: "Oh, I think have the thirteen cents."
They mean: "I'm gonna hold up the line while I dig around in my purse for some change and toss it at you when I think I found it."

I say: "Can I help you find anything?"
Man says: "Oh no. I'll ask one of the guys."
He means: "You must be retarded and not know one single thing about tools or where stuff is in this store. P.S. I am sexist."

Can I just say I know where mostly everything is in the store??? And I'm pretty good with tools. I picked out a grommet kit for this guy yesterday. Name another girl who could do that. And please for the love of pete, when you pay a cashier with change and she is holding her hand out PUT IT IN HER HAND!
Also:

1. Don't pay with wet money. Gross.
2. If you pay me 30 dollars in ones, I may question your profession.
3. Do not hand me your 'coin purse' and say "I'll let you count it."
4. Do you not throw/toss your credit card at me.
5. Do not say "Oh, I have the change!" after I have already counted out your change.
6. Please be aware if you tell me goofy stories about your personal life, they may appear on the internet.

One such goofy story,
An old man comes in the other day and asks if we have any underwater lights he can install in his pond. Why, you might ask. To keep his wife from falling in!! No joke.
