I Hate Canadians!

I hate to say it, but it's true. Some days you get SO agitated and it can get unbearable. Some Canadians that come down are nice, but a vast majority are rude/annoying/dumb or any combination of the three. So today, well technically yesterday, I was a breaker and had an all out argument with a Canadian. She was buying a $300 sewing machine and it had a coupon on it for a free $20 giftcard. She starts bitching out of nowhere that she wants to use it towards the sewing machine. We're not supposed to do that, it is possible with a little trickery but I'd get chewed out in a heartbeat. Anyways, after I tell her she can't a few times, she keeps insisting. Then she asks when it would expire. I told her that our giftcards never expire...NEVER. Well, she asks that if she comes back in 3 months if it would be expired. Did you not fucking hear me!? NO, IT DOESN'T EXPIRE! She said, "I bet you it will." NO IT WON'T! "Can't I just use it on the sewing machine?" NO! What the fuck is so hard to understand!?

Then I was putting carts away, and this Canadian who just walked in the door asked if we sold Bush's baked beans. They LOVE them for some reason, we almost always sell out every weekend. I tell her that we do carry them, and she tells me...TELLS me, to go get her a case of them. I just pointed to where they were and walked away. Sorry I'm not your personal shopper. And the least you could do is ask nicely, not tell me to.

Sara saw a Canadian woman eating a bag of M&M's and then put the empty bag down. Sara went over there and asked her if that bag was hers.
Canadian: "No, it's not mine."
Sara said, "I just saw you eating it."
Canadian: "So?"
Sara: "Well, are you going to pay for it?"
Canadian: "No."
Then Sara walked away and told our Assets Protection team, but she had left by the time they were notified. That would have been awesome if she got slapped a restitution all for a 53 cent item. But honestly who the fuck does that?

And they always have to have separate transactions. It fucking annoys the hell outta me. It gets old real damn quick because it slows the whole line down.

And then they talk in French to try to hide their conversation from you. Oh you're so damn cool. One group of Canadians went through a cashier's lane saying in French how ugly the cashier's hair was...the cashier speaks French and totally understood everything they said.

When the fucktards come down here, they think they are god's gift to the Earth. They treat us like shit, and trash talk us all the time. One Canadian said to a cashier, "I'm not coming down here anymore, you Americans are all fat." First of all, no, and second of all, what a great reason to stop going somewhere. Hell, any reason to get you to stay in your own god forsaken country is A-OK with me.

The TMs at my store are all rooting for passports at the border because it would cut down on the idiots coming down DRASTICALLY. That would be awesome!

What if that canadian woman eating from a bag of M&M, was given to her by her canadian friend? Why do you presume that she stole it from your store?

To respond to 'Anonymous':

I would think she would have told us if she had already purchased the item elsewhere. My friend Sara saw her over a length of time at the end of the lanes reading magazines, and ultimately eating the M&Ms. While it is possible she had these beforehand, why then would you not clarify the situation?

I hate Canadians too. Americans aren't perfect either though.
