Nah, I live in a small college town in Utah, most all of them were college girls.
I was the only person under 18, and male until I quit. They were all cool to work with though.
Got a tip for us?

I entred this chinesse resteraunt in Bosten and this small lady (5f something) took our order (i was with my friend). We waited about 1-2 mins till he went back to give the order to the chefs and came to us with the bill. It was about $82.00 but i only had $85 with me. I handed the money to here and went to my friend to ask him to tip here since i did not have enough money. As soon as i turned she started to yell and scream at me. She was yelling "How come you dont give me tip!" this down in a loud voice were everyone in the resturant could hear. I explaned to here nicely that i did not have enough money and needed to ask my friend was was standing right there to help out. It was the frist time i got yelled at as a customer for no reason.
The funny thing about this story is that there was another Chinese place around the corner and had much better food. Everytime i would order for the new restaurant i would delebritly walk infront of the nice ladys and just give here a smile while i make sure she saw how much bussiness she lost.

Heard once when a Supervisor irately enquired as to why no progess had been made.
"I didnt have the time to finish it , so I didnt start it"

I was in Farmers (a 'sell-everything' kinda shop), and at the checkout one of the barcodes on the item was wrong. There were three girls behind the counter. 2 of them were talkin to themselves. the other spent about 5 minutes trying to find a pocket calculator behind the desk so that she could add $16.99 and $7.99. I repeated the total about 3 times, yet she insisted that she find the calculator to make sure that I was correct. Eventually, she found the calculator (after asking the others behind the counter), and continued to tell me that total, which happened to be exactly what I told her from the start.
Years ago in Northeast Philly, I was short on cash but I had a little more than $2.00 and stopped into the Roy Rogers' fast food place and carefully ordered something to eat.
When she rang up the order, I retrieved the change from my pocket and proceeded to count out the exact amount. While she was waiting for the items to be prepared, she asked for the money, I handed her the change and she stared at me for a moment and asked "Is it all there?", to which I replied, "Why don't you count it?", and then, she dropped it all into the cash drawer without any more effort.

A couple years back my Grandpa and I went to McDonalds to pick up food for the entire family (like 15 people). The lady at the speaker box says, may I take your order? So my grandpa read everything that was on the list to her (took him like 8 minutes to do...) and when he's finished she says, Can I take your order?

I went into Canadian Tire to buy some tire valve stems. The guy at the parts counter says "I'm sorry sir, we don't have those. You'll have to go to a tire shop for that."
Apple Store in St. Louis, third month of operation. I walk in and ask them for an iCurve for my PBook.
Apple Employee: What is that?
Me: Those are the stands for laptops.
Apple Employee: I am sorry (I presume she said that), we don't carry them.
Me: I mean stands like these (point to the iCurve under the PBook next to her).
Apple Employee: Oh, these come out? (I presume she meant come loose from the store display, not the PBook)
Me: Yes and you sell them for $35

I knew a cute girl back in Cedar....well, she was cute as a freshman. By the time she was a sophmore...eh.mrwildguitar said:
But, Cedar isn't always bad. The Shakespeare festival is cool. At least the first time...
Eh, it's ok. Never actually been to the Shakespeare Festival thing.
So, did you used to live here, or?

That is pretty funny Leareth!
I suppose that is the last time that you got talked backed to by that individual?! The Past said:
Was this the one in West County or the Galleria? Haven't been to the one in the Galleria, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if that came from West Co

He left the unit shortly after.
Said we were too strict.
Umm , its the military not boy scouts... (* no offence intended towards boy scouts*)I think his problem was more ego less discipline, can't be a macho man when you are taking orders from a girl who can beat you 9 times out of 10.
Went into a local electrical retailer once;
Me: Do you sell Macs here?
Salesgirl: No we don't stock those here, try somewhere else.
Me: But I read in your brochure you have Macs
Salesgirl: Do people still use those?
Me: Well yeah...
Salesgirl: You might have better luck looking in the trading post (2nd hand newspaper)
Me: (walking across the room) You do have Macs here (pointing to Mac display)
Salesgirl: No those are made by Apple, I think Mac went out of business years ago.
