lovers lament

god, where to start.
the cigarette guy. i think his name is 'Bucky'. he comes in with his cigarette half smoked, but he doesn't ash it before he comes in. i think he smokes it until he can't possibly move without ashing all over the place and then walks in. he then sets it on the counter that i've usually just cleaned and the ash either ends up on the counter or floor. while this doesn't seem like a big deal, it's extremely rude and i really want to figure out where he lives so i can ash through the window everyday or something. he plays the lottery and everytime someone gets too close to him, he blows smoke in their face just to be an asshole.
then there's Wes. he knows every clerk for miles around. he's an instant scratchoff guy. he'll buy ticket after ticket and then go somewhere else like Speedway and buy more tickets. he hits every store in the area at least once a day. but he's cool. he's one of those people that's such a regular that he's allowed in the back room and he'll chat with us for hours.
then there's the crazy lady. she walks around town with the most unexpected objects. one day she'll have a ten foot piece of aluminum siding, the next she'll have a wooden stake. she talks to herself and acts completely insane, but when she buys something with her Ohio card, she acts normal. one day her Ohio card (which is our version of food stamps) wouldn't work, so she stood there for a half an hour talking to someone who wasn't there while i stood there, unsure of what to do. our other customers asked me about her, but i just shrugged. she's crazy, i dunno.
then there's Sam. Sam spends like $50 a day on lottery, but bitches because a donut costs 50 cents. makes sense, right?
hmmm, who else?
the water guy. i like to fuck with customers, it's the highlight of my day. so this guys comes in every day and buys water, Dasani actually. he refuses to pay tax on water. (because water's not supposed to be taxed, but we do) so for weeks when i started, he'd only give me 99 cents. well Dasani is 1.09 or 1.15 when you include tax. so just to be an asshole, i'd make him pay 1.09. we'd argue about it because not even the owner would make him do it. finally though, when he started having 1.09 ready, i started charging him 99 cents.
there's a million more that i'll have to blather about sometime soon, but i have to go deal with them for 9 hrs now, so i gotta go get ready.
