More stories from hell (retail) today I was ringing up this lady and she goes oh I want to do part of this on a gift card and the rest on normal card and I go ok and then she hands me a folded piece of paper. I think oh OK it must be folded around the gift card, right? Wrong. It is a folded sheet of 8×11 printer paper with "$40" written on the inside in ballpoint pen. I go what is this. She says a gift card. I say this is not a gift card. She says yes it is. I say this is a piece of paper with "$40" written on it. She says "well it's a gift card." I say it absolutely is not. I am grinding my teeth. She says well I want to use it. I say you physically cannot do that bc it is a piece of paper. I cannot scan or swipe it. I apologize, as if this is my fault, and not because she is completely insane. I hate it here
I'm not denying that watching those early pre -txf movies with David Duchovny and Gilian Anderson wasn't mostly a waste of time, but it does put their early dynamics into a very funny perspective. Here's a young woman straight out of drama school with great theatre references who has one family drama under her belt, and they paired her up with a guy who ditched his PhD in English at Yale to do low-budget soft porn movies. Together, they made some of the most iconic characters in tv history. You can't possibly make this shit up.
Neat things you can find when you’re trapped in the catacombs: a distant dripping sound, guys in manacles, footsteps that probably aren’t there, fun bug friend, just way too many ghouls
