Random Rascists
SO who does these things? These things are case number 1:

1. A customer came in and wanted us to transfer an RX from a different location that he goes to. Becasue he has medicaid his insurance doesn't allow us to transfer between locations so he screams out "DON"T MAKE ME GO BACK TO N***** TOWN". Like at the top of his lungs in a store. What a jerk!

then case number 2, prolly worse

2. I am cashing out a customer and his copays are high and he says to me something along the lines of "these copays are ridiculous we need another HItler to kill the jews and the rich people!" OMG!!! How do you freakin respond to that? I just didn't say anything! I am like wow I should rlaly say something cuz tough the customer is always right, that time I think I would be justified in saying they were not! Can you even believe that? Do you people still really think like that? IT was insanity! I just was like um your toatl is whatever and ignored it completely. BUT WTF WHO DOES THAT?

Random Rascists = Random Number*(Rascals)^2/Localised Fascists of specified Race?

is that what that degree is for? I thought it was just so I would have the privilege of paying a bank a few hundred dollars a month for the rest of my life.
hodown - 12/09/09 17:41
@ (e:zobar). LOL

and Mike. Yeah I remember my Riteaid days. people are basically insane. i just going to throw out some food for thought. how about you use your fancy private school degree and get another job?
zobar - 12/09/09 17:38
So I'm going to go ahead and totally miss the point: why can't you transfer a prescription from Niggertown to Crackerland?

Glitter Glue
Glitter glue is never on sale anywhere! as a heavy glitter user the cost really starts to add up for the good glitter glue. Each bottle does not really hold that much when you really like to make something shimmer!!! i watch all year but never not once is it ever on sale....you would think maybe around christmas time with people making cards and stuff it would be cuz everythign else is on sale! I want my glitter glue and i want it cheap!
jenks - 11/29/09 16:36
that reminds me, I should send you my new address! ;)
heidi - 11/29/09 12:10
Elmers & a tub of glitter is the way to go! :-)
tinypliny - 11/29/09 11:28
Instead of gluing the glitter on - maybe you could just paint it on? Or use heavy duty white/transparent glue and sprinkle the glitter on it.

Call Me Sir?
So me and (e:mk) went to the Eastern Hills mall for some post thanksgiving shopping and while it was busier than normal it wasn't too crazy cuz that mall is never too crazy, except the bonton that was relaly crazy. There was one thing I wanted that was on super sale but i did not wait cuz the lines were redic!!!! That was the only place that was like that, i don't think they had better stuff it just was that thye had far fewer cashiers!

Anywho that is not the point of this story. I went to American Eagle where I am probably becoming a little too old to shop and I haven't bought anything in a while and the like 16 year old guy worker hands me the like coupon thing they were givin gout and says "here you go sir" and when I was leaving he said "have a nice day sir". Now i prolly have been called sir before but something about tihs time seemed so harsh , it definitely felt like he was saying it in a "Have a nice day old man, be careful not to trip on your wlaker on the way out" or "Here you go old geezer maybe you can find a nice gift here for your grand kids" it made me feel really old, like reals old!!! bleh, all in all though i got some good shopping done today. I even went to target at like 930 and they still had the doorbuster sale iten I wanted and there was like noone in line! SCORE!
metalpeter - 11/28/09 16:07
Well can we agree that Sir is a proper term. Would you rather he said Dude, Bro, Bra, Mate, chap,broham, cousin, playa to me they all seem weird, oh I guess he could call you, young man but that is insulting the other way kinda.
tinypliny - 11/27/09 17:10
Heh, don't go to Delhi - you get called Sir every where by everyone regardless of how young or old you might be. After a while if someone doesn't call you Sir, you wonder what's wrong with you.

Adam Lambert..
annoys me..he think she is so cool and controversial and I find him rather annoying. LIke I think if you have a like pop song written for you after winning American Idol about not being an angel and good but being bad then really you are not bad. If you're bad and so dangerous you don't need a pop song to tell the world about it. It is so contrived in my opinion. I know his performance on the AMA's last night was so controversial because of the sexiness of it but really I just watched it and it was like so like not really that bad at all. Oh the whole thing just annoys me. It was so I'm doing this to do this and be controverisal cuz this is actually waht i want to do or am about. bleh. bleh. bleh.
lauren - 11/29/09 12:30
for the record, I was unaware of the BJ thing connected to this performance that I was commenting on. I do think that no matter what gender or sexuality you are, that would have been edited and controversial.
jason - 11/25/09 00:15
Lauren has a point concerning the Britney issue. People treat man kissing much differently, which is something I just think America has to grow up about. That is "controversial" enough if he wanted to create a buzz. And I think it is good that people are exposed to reality.

The simulated BJ to me crosses the line to vulgar. I don't think anyone doing that on live TV wouldn't catch shit for it. I could be wrong, I don't see too many live TV performances. I cringed, it was like, you know, some asshole is gonna see that and yell TOLD YOU.
metalpeter - 11/24/09 19:33
I didn't see it so I can't say to much. But what I read was about GMA canceling his performance. The writer brought up a point of if some of this is because he is gay, meaning that if he wasn't gay they think that the performance would still be happening. I think that is true.

The thing with image though is you don't know what is really true. How much of what he does is him, how much is to get publicity, how much is the record company, how much is him trying to get away from American Idol, How much of it is to try and sell his brand of makeup or some ones, how much is it to sell leather goods? See all of those are factors. Sometimes (think Marylyn Manson) be hated is good for you and album sales. You get people are riled up and that drives your act and record sales. If I was an artist and people in cities and towns made circles and burned 10Million copies I would love it, guess why they just bought 10 Million copies, and that is just the people who hate me.

For how he shows off the Gay Image, Not sure if it is good or bad really. Jason does make a good point about that. But in other countries where they aren't as sexually repressed or tight that could be completely different.
jason - 11/24/09 08:37
I read about that. You know what's interesting to me about it? He said that MEN can't do what women do with these performances. Maybe he meant it in terms of the kiss, but I took it as something that is more than gay or straight. I don't watch a lot of pop music - but could a straight guy get away with having a chick fake blow him live on the AMAs? That is edgy no matter who you are.

I also have a comment about the sexuality of it all. I had some down time yesterday and read a certain celebutard's web site where he said how great it was that Lambert was being so sexual. Obviously I don't give even a molecule of a shit about two guys getting freaky. But how is that a good image for the gay community? In my mind, I could be wrong, it reinforces the image too many people have that homosexuals are typified by the Folsom street festival. I won't say this about too many pop stars, but he has legit talent and IMO doesn't need to go for the cheap thrills. Pop stars today rely on that shit waaaay too much!

Then again...he did say that he's not for everyone. He doesn't seem to be going for mass appeal. I respect that.
lauren - 11/24/09 08:05
I have to say first of all, that I am not an Adam Lambert fan and don't really know much about it him at all, so I am not defending him as an artist. However, I do think that it's really great that we have an openly gay performer who is willing to be explicit with his sexuality on stage. Madonna and Britney can kiss and they don't have to make sure everyone knows that they are straight and they probably (although I don't know for sure) didn't edit that performance. Women can kiss all the time and it's no big deal because it doesn't make people uncomfortable the way two men kissing does, so I appreciate that he is willing to do that. However, it is also an unfortunate probability that he will become a gay icon for the straight world and everyone will think the whole gay community likes to wear bad eye makeup and be dangerous, just like all lesbians play acoustic guitar like Melissa Ethridge. Ah well.
