I apologize for not being around much, but it's because there isn't much happening in the store. It's literally dead for most of the day, nowhere NEAR what it was like at my old store.
Even at Guest Service people aren't that bitchy. The only things are returns from wedding/baby showers which are a complete disaster.
But, my first guest yesterday was a Canadian, and it made me glad that I don't see them often. She (along with her fanny pack, like usual) asked what the exchange rate was. I tell her it was 1.18 and she asks what that means. Ok, you fucking retard, you are exchanging money, YOU should know. Well of course she goes for her Canadian cash and so I tell her that we don't exchange money, but we take it at the registers. Apparently they're still too fucking retarded to exchange their money before they come down. She then asks how much she would get for $1 Canadian. I tell her, using simple math, it's 88 cents. Insert bitchy Canadian tirade yet again here. She yells at me because their money is "worth more" than ours now. My favorite part is being civil yet mean back when I get rude people. I say, "That's the rate our bank set." She asks if we take Visa or Interac(sp?) (their debit system) and I tell her we do take Visa and that some Interac cards work and some don't, and we don't know unless we try them. She starts blabbing about how she's just going to use her Visa because ... actually I stopped listening. Oh, and I forgot she was not even close to the counter when any of this conversation took place, which is normal for Canadians. Stand at least 5 feet away and just yell. Must be another thing they teach in Canada in the 'How to be completely oblivious to the world around you' program.
I still don't understand how so many canadians can come down during the week to shop so much. Does everyone have jobs? Or school? I bet the days they are down here is when they teach them how to be polite.
That is all.

Canucks are some of the rudest customers, I've ever run into. I worked at Target over the "holiday season" last year, and it was a nightmare.
We had a few Canucks who had a special ID saying they were Native Americans and didn't have to pay tax. No one had ever dealt with that situation before, and the paperwork was not fun.
I work in Security now, at a scale for semis,and we get trucks from Canada all the time. Most of the drivers from Canada are complete assholes and demand things be done their way or they start hurling insults and complaining.
