Foolscap and a few others decided I need to do this thread to tell the tales of horror and hilarity that I have at work. If you don't know whats going on go check out the 'how you make the monies' thread.

At the moment I work as a Pawnbroker in a pawn shop in St Paul, MN. Not a bad job for the time being, I have a couple great coworkers, and my regulars can be great, but I also see people at the lowest points in their lives which can be anything ranging from sad to plain and simple wtf are you thinking.

Anyways on with the stories.
This one is the one that was posted on the other thread.

It's not really a story but more of something really gross that a customer did. I had a customer I had never met before just randomly take out his glass eye in front of me. It was was crusty and smelled terrible to the point that I almost gagged, I thought that was the worst part but then he licked it to clean it, wiped it off on his shirt and then put it back into his empty eye socket. That was one of the more interesting days at work. :p

Boyfriend told me to tell you this one though:
In the first few months of working there, I had a guy come up to me, hand his id and say "want to pawn my grillz" me: "...um, excuse me?" "want to pawn mah grillz" "I don't understand what that is..." He then smiles revealing what looks like gold plated teeth. And then removes said teeth covering. And puts them in my hand. Yeah you read that right. He put the thing that had been sitting in his mouth... onto my hand. And the sad thing about it, it was about $400 worth of gold. :/

I'll post my stories here every so often if you guys want more updates.
Not some common bar wench that's for sure.

Today at work I got into a heated shouting match with a customer, after convincing him I was right and that I wasn't trying to steal $400 from him, he decided that then would be a good time to ask me to marry him. That's not the scary part, the scary part is how often this happens. :/

Most people do.

in other news though, I have another horror story!

Today I had a woman come in that reeked of rotting dog shit. It cleared out my whole store and it was so bad I actually had to run to the restroom cause I threw up a little. On the bright side though I got a raise today :DDD

Speaking of smells, a few days ago, seniors here at Dozo decided it would be funny to fill 3 Super soakers, with Flash Flood attachments, with Liquid Ass.
Liquid Ass is a revolting smell. We're not talking poop here, we're talking burnt hair, rottened flesh, horse vomit, and imploded innards all mixed togetehr into a revolting mixture.

Dumped into 3 Super Soakers. And they unleashed the massacre on the 4th period lunch, with all the new freshmen.

I was behind them, on my way to the SO store, and i felt like i was taking part in Makarov's air plane massacre.

Everything smelled.. so.. bad...

Countless people vommitted, the school closed for 4 days.

i wish my work was as interesting as yours :D i work at McDonalds... now i know you all think there are major disgusting food stories/rumors i could tell you, but there aren't, sadly. clock in, clock out. 8-9 hours of straight standing and folding sanwhiches... i need a better job XD i guess the funniest thing that has happened lately is one of my co-workers accidentally left the bisquits in the oven for way too long (three hours) and they came out burnt(dark brown and crunchy-ish). we fooled the manager into eating one of them by telling him that brian (that co-worker of mine) made him brownies and that he was hoping to impress his boss with his cullinary arts... he ate it and gave brian a thumbs up of approval... brian, not knowing of the aweful prank, was unaware of why his boss was giving him a thumbs up, and just continued to work. then the manager vommited everywhere XD gross right? luckily this all happened in the office portion of the building and none of that vomit got in the food. brian recieved no punishment for the prank b/c he had nothing to do with it... now the rest of the co-workers, we didn't get that privlage ;) ... good times at werk... gotta love 'em ;)

Right now with the economy the way it is, I work in probably the only booming business. This is a temp job until things die down so I can get back to school and finish my BS in Engineering, since nobody hires people with only an AS. Also I was asked to do a horror story thread, I don't think an I love my job thread would be so much fun, because people don't really care about the heart warming things that happen to other people.

Also I hate the word freaks. Yes I see a lot of stuff that is really weird or gross but I work with the extremely disadvantaged and that is going to happen once in a while. I work with the mothers that bring in a dvd player and some dvds so that they can afforded to buy their baby formula. I work with the older people that need a little help until their next social security check comes, because they cant bear to ask their children for a couple bucks. I deal with the people that are disabled, have been laid off, or just going through a rough patch. Stress makes people act a little off, don't call them freaks for that.

Today has been one for the books. A woman was assaulted outside my store. And then I had a wife call in crying because she found her husbands pawn slips and he's been pawning her jewelry for drugs. Liking your job a little more yet?

So it appears that the company I work for has been bought out by the biggest pawn business in the world. I now work for the Walmart of pawn shops. And will soon have to wear a uniform. Khaki pants, a red polo shirt and a name tag. Current uniform: pants and a black shirt of your choice. No name tag, because I only give out my name when i trust a customer.

Also another woman was assaulted out side my store today. So I'm looking into finding a new job.

I meant to ask, Sassy and I love watching Pawn Stars and Hardcore Pawn. How much validity and realism do those shows have, and how do they compare to your job? I assume those shows are all fluff, mostly staged, but you never know..

I now work for an umbrella company called EZ Corp that owns a fuck ton of stores all over the world.

Both shows are over exaggerated, however if you tone them down a lot it's not that far off. For pawn stars they have a guy for everything. Yeah some people do have connections, like at my place i'm the unofficial in house expert on collectibles, but mostly we base it off internet research and comparison to Ebay and amazon prices. The negotiations are also there but it's not so dramatic, customer wants/needs $50 on his whatever-ma-gig I look it up and see that they are selling for around $75-85, so i offer $35-40. Customer is usually either "yeah ok" or "meet me halfway?" I will usually give them another $5 if i can. This is best case scenario and 95% of the time what happens at my job.

Worst case scenario is more like hardcore pawn. I have been screamed at more times than I can count, and have been the one screaming 3 or 4 times. I've been called names form white trash and ghetto skank to cock sucking cum dumpster. Some times it hurts, sometimes I laugh. But some times people go off the deep end if they don't get the money they want/need. I have never been spit on or had a knife/gun pulled on me. I HAVE however been followed to my car once and received threatening phone calls at work. We do not have security guards in the store where I work because we are a small store of 3-6 people working at a time so we just look out for each other. I have witnessed customers stealing stuff. And getting caught. So yeah my job is a bit more like a combination of both shows. I hope that answers your question a bit fools.

For those of you that are still reading this, holy shit does this new company suck. Under the new company i have been written up twice. 3 people have been fired, 2 have been laid off because they didn't want to move to butting fucking no where texas, and 25% of the old company has rage quit in protest.

Had a grab and go at work yesterday, got to watch my tiny male coworker chase him across a construction zone and into the parking lot across the street. A grab and go is when somebody walks into your store acting like they are going to buy stuff and then yank something and run out the door. Thing taken : a sony dvd player priced at $22.55
