Work: Auntie Flow

Auntie Flow

By iluvjenknee - 22/01/2010 06:26 - United States

Today, at work, I was ringing up some tampons for a woman, and I usually try to interact with the shoppers as much as possible. I was trying to think of something witty or funny to say but drew a blank, so I decided just to say, "Have a nice night." What I actually said was, "Have a nice flow." FML

Today, I was at the supermarket checkout. I handed over my items, which included some tampons, tissues, and toilet roll. The security guard standing beside the cashier remarked loudly, "I'll be damned; she's flowing from every hole!" FML

Today, I was at the store when I saw two extremely hot girls. I walked into their aisle and they looked at me and smiled. I stopped and pretended to look at something so I could listen to what they were saying. They started laughing and walked away. It turned out I was reading a box of tampons. FML

A cashier's life

Today, as I worked as a cashier, two girls came up laughing. I smiled as I rang them up, asking what had made them laugh so hard. One looked me dead in the face and said, "You." They then both walked away, laughing. FML

Today, I bought some flowers. As I was checking out, the cashier asked, "Aww, these for your mom? How sweet." I responded they were for a girl I liked. She laughed and said, "Sorry..." FML

Nice try

Today, I was shopping at a supermarket. As I was about to pay for my items, I noticed the cashier was very cute. Trying to be nice, I smiled. She smiled back and said, "Hello, how are you?" Instead of saying, "I'm good" or, "I'm okay", I said, "I'm gay". FML

Today, while at work being a waitress, I gave my customer his credit card receipt to sign. Instead of giving him a pen, I pulled a tampon out of my apron pocket and handed it to him. FML

Today, I got called a cunt at work by a customer. What could I have said that could have caused them to say that? "Have a great day." FML

Today, I went to the store to pick up some feminine products. As I was paying, the male cashier looked at me sympathetically and asked if it was my girlfriend's time of the month. I'm a girl and was buying them for myself. FML

You should have told her you're a vampire and offered to eat her out

It could have been worse. You could have said, "Gimme a nice blow?" When she responded with that shocked look, you go on, "And maybe next week . . . ?"

Just a hint for the OP and for cashiers everywhere: Don't comment on the items the customer is buying. Ever. No matter what. It's annoying and people hate it.

He got the words mixed up cause he was most likely looking at the tampons and wanted to say day but the tampon made him say flow (say what you see and not say what you think it happens all the time DUH !!) THINK

I agree with #28. It's easy to say what you see rather than what you mean to say. I do it all the time.

So let's say you're buying cereal and the cashier makes small talk with you to say it's their favorite, oh no so bad. One of peoples' problems today is they keep to themselves entirely too much.
