Checkout Comeons

Stravo · Post by **Stravo** » 2003-12-02 03:33pm

Inspired by Lord Poe's thread here. How many of you have had the checkout person come on to you or just flirt with you? Describe some of your more memorable ones.

For instance at Best Buy a month ago this HOT Puerto Rican cashier sees I'm buying the Kill Bill soundtrack and wants to know if the movie is any good. I of course tell her that its great. I then tell her that she should get her boyfriend to take her (one of the quickest and surest ways to know off the bat if the girl has a man.) She said that if she had one she would certainly go with him.

I unfortunately lost the nerve to ask for her number despite the fact that we had a nice banter going. Can't explain it.

Man, you are pretty smooth bro. The most memorable incident was when I was teenager. This girl at Popeyes Chicken seemed to like both my friend and I at the same time. She kept smiling at us and talking. Then she eat gave us extra chicken and biscuits. We could have made a white, black, phillipino sandwich.

Not sure if it counts as per the topic, but its close.

When I had been in the Corps. for about a year or so, I took some leave and came home. I was out with my brother and we decided to go to Blockbusters and get some movies and some games and spend a lazy day doing nothing.

Any hoo, we got our stuff and went up to the register to pay, when I noticed that a highschool classmate of mine was the manager, and who live in the same neighborhood as my brother and I did as we grew up.

Before I could say anything, she looked at my brother and recognized him, saying hello and all that. Then she asked him what the hell happened to his brother.

I smiled and said that I was standing right there. Her jaw dropped as she checked me out (god bless the body building aspects of the USMC bootcamp). Anyway, we chatted for a few but I already had some trim lined up so I let it go. But the look on her face implied that I could have bent her over there and she'd thank me for it.

Very ego building, not that I needed it.

Ack that's to bad.

The spontanious(sp?) flirts is often the most succesful ones.

I can get dates at and public location, but on the net or in a pub it's inpossible for me.

Dunno perhaps I cannot relax in those enviroments.

Nope, never had it happen to me. Of course, my principle concern when I'm at the checkout stand is not getting ripped off, and getting out as quick as possible. And besides, all the checkout ladies I've ever met were either underaged, old, married, or had equators rather than waistlines.

There was a h-h-hot asian chick working at this knife store in the mall, and surprisingly enough, she was flirting with me while I was buying a swiss army knife (and she really was, it wasn't just my imagination...I was with some girls at the time, and even their girldar picked up the signals). It was fun, and we chit-chatted, but I didn't ask her out or anything. Oh well.
Anyways, that was the most memorable one.

I've had plenty of customers come on to me while I was behind the counter. Including mostly guys. In fact, there's this one nasty old man who really likes me and this other guy I work with, and we always hide whenever he comes into the store.
There was this good-looking teenage girl that liked me too, but the weird thing was, I found out about it because her mom told me. Which wouldn't have been that weird, except for that her mom deigned to tell me that "She just turned 18, so she's legal." Which was pretty weird.

But I don't flirt with customers (beyond just being nice to them if they're good-looking), for the simple reason that as long as I'm on the clock, I fucking hate customers. I paste a smile on my face and act nice to them, but only because I know that'll get them out the door faster. It's like Randall said, "This job would be great if it wasn't for the fucking customers!"

Mmmm, just like what I wanted to do with the temps in my office when I was feeling horny as hell.

Once I was on a Southwestern flight coming back to San Jose from Austin. This lady in the front of me was chatting up a storm about her and her daughter. The daughter was sitting next to her about was attractive. Next thing I know the lady asks me if Im single and looking. I said I was single, but I might be older than she realized. The lady thought I was 22 when I was 27. Her daughter was 18. Hehe. How embarassing to have your mom try to hook you up with a person on the plane.

The last time a person, involving the transaction of goods, flirted with me was last night at Storm nightclub. The bar-maid, who is probably old enough to be my mother and is pretty unattractive was making blatant passes at me by saying things such as "are you going straight home when the club closes, I could use company" etc. It was horrible.

Edit: Good news is that she gives me vodka for 50p a shot with coke.

Hasn't happened yet but I've had a few checkout boys stare at my chest with that zoned out look on their faces. It's like they've never seen breasts before or something, and I wasn't even wearing anything revealing. Weird.

Guys will check out cute girls, regardless of the clothing (Or lack of thereof

) involved.

You honestly think the cashiers are trying to rip you off? I get people like that all day, who usually read the signs and prices wrong and think I'm trying to rip them off when I tell them the correct price or the exact deal. Those people can go fuck themselves.

I noticed that certain cultural groups seemed way over supsicious of being ripped off. I always wondered if it had to do with being from a culture that bargains for prices and just not being used to the "this is the price" model here in the West.

For some reason, I find that when you hear some jackass making a nuisance out of himself in search of a better price or better service, it's usually an older male first-generation European immigrant with a thick accent. Maybe the expectations are simply different in those countries.

Robert Treder · Post by **Robert Treder** » 2003-12-03 10:06pm

Around here, Indians (real Indians, not those lame American ones ;P) try to bargain with me all the time. But they're nice about it, so I don't mind.

I once had a Croatian lady gripe that something cost 2.12 instead of 1.99.

I explained that the 13 extra cents was the sales tax, She said that in California (she was evidently visiting) they don't pay tax.

I don't know why, but Croatian women seem to be...kind of dumb. I don't want to sound racist, but it's a definite odd pattern I've noticed.

In my retail experience, it's almost always Indians, Asians, and east European customers who hassle us on prices and try to bargain. As far as I remember they were all older first generation immigrants with poor English skills.

California most certainly does have a sales tax, and it's more than it is in Kansas, apparantly, because any item which is marked at 1.99 comes out to 2.15 here. I guess that makes the sales tax 0.0825.
We don't have a sales tax on "grocery items," with the explanation that people shouldn't be taxed on what they need to survive. Peculiarly, candy is a grocery and is non-taxable, whereas soda is a "luxury" and is taxable. And some fruit sodas are "juices" and are not taxable.

The 8.25% tax is include both the State and County. I think just California sales tax is like 6%. Alameda County pays 8.75 , the extra .25 pecent goes to BART. You also dont pay sales tax on homes. Just property tax.

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2003-12-04 08:47am

Yosemite it's 7.75% unless you are renting a hotel room in which case it's 10%

Uhm.. I've had someone come on to me while getting them their food in a concession line?
