especialy not $30+
I will willingly count a couple $ in change (unless they try the penny thing)
Especialy b/c I work on commision, the time I spend counting your $30 in change, I am getting paid $6 an hr. The time I spend HELPING another customer I make slightly (or possibly alot) more.
Do not toy with people working in retail, we are NOT payed well enugh to put up with your ****.
One of these days I am gona figgure out just why it is that the person who has to deal with the worst part of everything gets payed the least.....
Then Iam gona kill the person responsible (even if I have to bring em back from the dead to kill em a few more times!)
