What is this magical Op shop? I've never heard of one ?_?MidnightCat said:"Op shops aren't real shops. It's not like they paid for the stuff they're selling... so it doesn't matter if I take a couple of things without paying for them. Or carry that $200 jacket priced at $50 into the dressing rooms, cut the tag off and walk out wearing it while the guy at the counter is distracted. Not like it's actually stealing, y'know."
This happened once. And has happened many many other times with other items. When you work as a volunteer sorting goods, pricing goods and sometimes cleaning goods, shelving times, assisting customers, serving customers... well, it breaks our hearts when we find the stash of removed price tags behind the mirror in the dressing room, or the empty boxes in the window that once held expensive perfume bottles.
Seriously, what kind of person steals from a shop where the proceeds go to charity and the needy?
" is a bit expensive for , could I get that for ?"
We're not a market stall. I know it's difficult to understand, but please try to treat an Op shop like it's a "real" shop. It's frustrating for us when people try to haggle when there's nothing wrong with the item, especially when there's a line and we're busy.
"How DARE you overtake me when I am taking up the whole fucking corridor of the mall by walking side by side with my friend who also has a stroller. If we had any decency, we'd walk really close together as far to the right side of the hall as we could be, so people could get by, but no. We have to take up the whole fucking corridor and make it fucking awkward for people to walk past us and go about their shopping."Zeckt said:I got another.
Now that I got this baby stroller people better stay the hell out of my way! I'll just plow through the streets and use my child as a battering ram because its not like these other people matter compared to my special baby! MOVE DAMNIT!

shit that sounds like me, only with more interruption.Dr.Panties said:"Wait, stop. I have a similar and/or unrelated anecdote that is far more interesting than the one that you are currently relating, so listen to me instead."
I know hey?Maveroid said:"God, I hate America/Europe/Mars (etc.). They are all stupid. Look I know a lot about politics, economics and other stuff that I actually have no clue about, and I can tell you that this specific problem that the world is facing right now is solely their fault! All of the people living there are stupid because they obviously support this crap, since there isn't anything like an election, demonstrations or any other sign of democracy in that country. NONE. I wish they were like me.... Err I mean, my country! Hail my country that does nothing wrong, mainly because I don't do anything wrong, and damn the others.
(in case of internet censorship, but these people do it whenever) "OMG okay I've had enough with this stupid country!! Look at them, because of them the whole world will be censored! I have an idea people! Everyone from the countries that I do not regard as stupid (yet) should exclude this stupid nation and keep them from using the internet, because THAT will change everything. The solution to every problem is not solving it but making more of the problem. See, I am smart! Actually, I am SO smart that I'll make a thread about it so everyone knows about internet censorship even though everyone knows about it already since THE INFORMATION IS EVERYWHERE THIS IS THE FREAKING INTERNET (excuse me), and I'll also add my idea of censoring that stupid country over there too! Haha, I am a genius!!! I AM A REVOLUTIONAAAAARYYYYYYYY"
Hihi, that was fun!

It's fine if it's with a friend or family, not with strangers. Didn't realize how boring people really were until they started sharing pointless crap with me. Ah yes random lady in the grocery store, I would love to talk about the weather and your retarded kids.
I really should have had my headphones.
Shopping survival of the largest? I noticed that when I went to Vegas too; people are dicks when it comes to waiting in lines. Fortunately I was too drunk to care most of the time.cerealnmuffin said:"My shopping cart is full and things are falling out because it is so full, but I'm too important to wait in a normal check out. Look at that scrawny twig girl in the express lane. She is probably annorexic junkie, because no one can be that skinny. Screw her. What is she buying? Some batteries? She'll probably use them to make drugs. Stupid skinny ^%$#. I got my oversized sunglasses and sweatpants so that means I'm like a celebrity so I'm just going to shove her out of the way. I will fart to in her face, because my body makes lovely smells.
Oh hell no, the clerk asked if I wanted to use my savings card which is free. Sure a simple no thanks will be okay, but I bet that clerk loves badgering customers for fun. See I knew it! She won't accept my expired coupon that is a couple months old. I need my chocolate fudge!! Get the manager here now."
*she talks to manager, manager gives in and admonishes clerk for doing her job (but if she had accepted coupon earlier than she would have gotten in just as much trouble)*
~_~ Yeah, I hate pushy people who think they are too good to wait in lines. I had one item and this massive lady cut me off. I'm very skinny and sometimes get treated as that I must be annorexic. My metabolism might be good, but even if someone's isn't there is no excuse to be like 400+ except laziness or not having legs. I hate how in America, customers who are extremely rude get to have rules bent (when I worked in a bookstore I had to accept books for return that were obviously read and trashed due to manager kowtowing to some nasty lady).
At least living in Korea, that behavior and clear disregard for health is very rare instead of the norm.
