but that also means i'm not writing things on the slips anymore, and it was so useful, and nobody else does, god it saved so much time, no customers understand that we're not psychic and idk why, some of them act SO WEIRD when you ask their names!, god i am not a fae i just need to know what it's filed under!, i promise i'm not stealing your name

just had the strangest encounter at the cvs photo counter…. i was like “hi i had some photos printed through your website” and the employee just said “so?”

“Hi I had some photos printed through your website”

CVS employee:

certified iconic post

i mean. i work in a photo lab and we have those little envelopes where we tear a strip off and hand it to the customer like a claim check, so they remember to come back? and customers love to come in and hand that to me, like i’m going to know what the fuck it is, when we have such a wide range of services and the thing their lil reminder slip matches could be literally anything.

When I worked the sales floor I started writing on the slip what the thing was and what the customer’s name was, so that when people handed it to me I could look at the slip and actually get some information.

but like.

“hi I have some photos.”

“ok, here are some photos.” This seems to be what customers expect, but like. How do I know who you are? We asked your name so we could fill out the bag, do you think we’ll just remember what your name was?? Or do you just want me to randomly pick some photos to sell you? You probably want your photos, don’t you? So maybe, just maybe, you need to tell me who the fuck you are.

You manage to wrench the person’s name out of them, so you get that and you go to the alphabetical file of the photos, and after a while you’re like “I don’t see anything, what was it?” and they’re like “oh I had a poster printed” see THAT would also have been good info to have, before I pawed through all the drawers for regular photos, because here’s a shocker, posters don’t fit in the little file thingies so we file them in a whole other place!

Listen especially this time of year I am not here to carry this conversation, I am here to do actually kind of a technical job, help me the fuck out here and don’t expect me to read your mind and know just what you’re here for. Please tell me your name and what you ordered, I am so tired and so busy.
