Creepy Customer Email

Sometimes at work when I'm talking to customers the blog comes up. It normally goes something like "Oh you must get so bored working 3rd shift" and I'll respond with "Actually I deal with enough craziness from customers that come in after midnight, I write a blog about it. Seriously."

The other night a customer asked me why I don't have an email address on here.
Well once upon a time I did, it was one of my personal ones. I'm going to set one up just for the blog soon.

I received an email that went something like this:



Hey,

I'm not sure if your going to remember me but I stopped in (your store) one night a week or so ago for a few drinks and a Philly. We chatted it up for a few mins about your blog, smoking blunts and then you told me I looked better with long hair lol. Well the other night I read thought your profile which made me laugh btw your quite the funny one haha. I see you really enjoy smoking and I do too when I have the time so we will deff have to some time. I started thinking lol. Maybe if you found me attractive too we could get together hang out and have great causal sex no strings attached every now and then. I found you very cute that night dispute your work out fit and I'd like to see whats underneath that ;) well I stopped in tonight after working very late " which i still am lol" to say hi and I guess you had the night off :/ so I found your blog online which had this email address on it so that's where I got it if your wondering.

Well Hopefully I've sparked enough interest for you to email me back. Ttyl

(name withheld)



Lmao, ok where to begin? Uhmmm, well that definitely 'sparked' my attention. I'm not really sure how to respond to that... I mean that's cool he liked the blog but I'm not sure whether I'm creeped out or amused. That is just weird on so many levels...
I'm used to strange guys hitting on me, I seem to have made quite a few 'admirers' working 3rd shift but that's the first time I've received an email like that..
I do remember him coming in, and I remember I ID'd him for cigarettes and made some comment like 'you look good with longer hair', but I don't even remember what this guy looks like anymore. I was just being nice, not hitting on him.
The casual sex thing, not happening dude.
I usually have a lot to say on the blog, but with this I'm just at a loss for words...


...So to answer the original question as to why I took down the email address, that's why!
For anything regarding the blog the email address is now CCSblog@aol.com
Emails about casual sex will not be returned, just laughed at. Then after a few months when I feel it won't be viewed by the sender, a blog post will show up on here about it.

Lost in Mentaltown

A man comes in around midnight and asks what town he's in. I said "This is Mentaltown". He says "Really? I've been wandering around for several hours trying to figure out where I am" I asked him where he was heading and he named a town about 20 miles away so I asked him if he wanted to use our phone to call a cab, he said "No I've got the money but I'm a firm believer in what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" I am too, but I'm not going to walk 20 miles somewhere I don't have directions to, in 20 degree weather. I asked the guy if he was sure, and he said yeah and left.

A few hours later he comes back to buy some Red Bull. I asked him how his travels were and he said "I got half way there and decided to come back"

Late Night Admirers

Working this third shift job I seem to have picked up some crazy admirers. I know it probably sounds conceited but I mean I'm a young 19 year old girl and I know I'm hot. A lot of bizarre guys/men hit on me at work. There's one post that talks about this a bit already in Buy one get one free

For example one guy was talking to me for around 5 hours the other night, following me around as I did my work. He said how he had just broken up with his "bitch of an ex-girlfriend" he was never going back to and asked if I wanted to go to the movies with him 'as friends'.


To be clear this is not the guy I'm talking about, this is a random picture of a similarish looking guy I found on Google 


Gee, I don't know he just had so many winning qualities between the lazy eye, him telling me he was an ex-heroine addict who had done jail time for looting abandoned buildings, how his 'roommates' (people he was staying with because he was homeless) had kicked him out because they said the cops were there looking for him earlier that day with accusations of him raping a 10 year old girl. He told me the rape stuff was bullshit, he didn't have any idea what they were talking about and he was going to sue the police department. However he came back the next day to say he went to the police department and he had no warrants and it had all been a joke by his 'roommates'.
There's a big LOL for ya.
I think the roommate was the guy from "Your ass looks fine to me". I mentioned in that post he delivered the newspaper, but I don't remember him working there so I could be wrong. There's a different asshole who delivers the paper in the morning.
Anyway this kid went outside for a cigarette, and after being gone for a while I thought he left. He comes back in and tells me this was going on in my parking lot Parking lot Volleyball. He had been out drinking with them.Great, so now you're going to act weirder then before. He keeps talking to me about how he's died before from a pill overdose and some german rockbands. He also said he wanted to get a fake passport since he can't because he has a felony.

So yeah that guy was definitely attractive...

My next story is of a guy that came in a few nights ago looking for cough drops. He reminded me of Turk from Scrubs. This guy asks me to help him find cough drops, so as I'm walking him to the aisle he's asking me what I like to do in my spare time. I told him I go to work, I come home and sleep that's pretty much it. As I was ringing him out his total came to $2.12 He pulls out a $20 and says "Oh I'll be right back let me run to my car for change" I'm thinking, ok not necessary but ok. He comes back and hands me the $20 and under it is a card that says "call, text or leave a message" with his name and number. He says "You can throw it out if you want but I'd love to hear back from you"
He seemed like a nice, decent guy but sorry not my type.

This happens quite a bit so I might a regular series out of it.

Bearded lady

This morning a hunched over old lady with a beard came through my line. I'm not talking about a little bit of hair, it wasn't as thick but it was as long as the picture above. I couldn't see her behind the magazine rack and thought she had left and I said to the customer behind her "huh, that lady had a beard." I didn't say it maliciously or anything, just casually commenting like 'oh thats interesting'. Then I saw her walking away. She didn't look back or say anything so I'm hoping she didn't hear me but I still feel like an asshole now. But at the same time, she has a beard so she has to know people are going to look at her odd. I don't understand why she doesn't just shave it.

Oops...

An important lesson in customer service, it's usually best to just keep your mouth shut.

Then start a blog and make all the comments you want on there.

Drunk lady wants douchebags

This drunk lady that reminded me of an older trashier Snooki came in last night. Because I wasn't at the counter she yells at the top of her lungs "yo where y'all douche be at?"  I showed her to the aisle and she's standing there zoned out staring at it when my male supervisor comes over and asks if he can help her. She looks at me like she's embarrassed about it now that there's a guy present. So now you're embarrassed even though you yelled it when you walked in?

"your ass looks fine to me"

An old fat man that reminds me of Danny Devito with what sounds like a russian accent comes into the store. He delivers the newspapers in the morning and came in early to buy cigarettes before his paper route. He says "I see you in here all the time, you seem like a hard worker" I said "yeah I've been working my ass off lately" he looks behind me like he's looking at the cigarettes and says "you're ass looks fine to me" Dude you're old enough to be my grandfather, get the fuck out of here.

Why just eat the candy bar when the wrapper is the best part?

A lady comes up to my register this morning with a bunch of Dove candy bars, already half way through eating one. There all the same so I just scanned one 5 times while she's enjoying it, when I notice she's eating the tin foil wrapper too. I pointed it out and said "Ma'am I think you just ate part of the wrapper too." She says "I know. It's cool."

I guess why just eat the candy bar when the wrapper is just as good.

Empty Beer

During 3rd shift the store was pretty dead so I was going around doing my work. I come back to my register and someone was nice enough to leave an empty clear plastic cup of beer on my counter. Who walks around with a clear plastic cup of beer at 4 in the morning? Yeah, you're cool.

Next time a beer is left at my register I hope it's an un-opened Bud Light.

 

First Post

Hello world! My name is MJ. I work 2 customer service jobs, as a cashier at a grocery store and a 24/7 pharmacy. I live in a  town us locals call Mentaltown. My first job is just daytime cashiering in a grocery store, my second job is 3rd shift as a cashier at a 24/7 pharmacy, less than a mile away from a mental institution called CVH.

In my line of work I see alot of crazy things, enough to where I think I could write a book just about the more bizarre side of customer service.  That's why I decided to start this blog, to share my stories of past and current crazy customer stories. I hope you find these people as entertaining as I do.

Enjoy
