Starting with the time I asked for 10 dollars cashback while buying cigarillos using my debit card and the cashier gave me them in all 1's and quarters saying "I know what you're going to use that money for so I'm going to make it as difficult as possible", I've encountered MANY instances where 7-11 cashiers are complete assholes to me when buying cigarillos or blunt wraps for no reason. It ONLY happens at 7-11, I've been to other gas stations where the foreign people working don't care, or other higher quality chains like Wawa type gas stations where the people are super friendly and helpful about it. So, one time at 7-11 I walked in and asked for the 2 pack of Tropical Fusion Swisher Sweets (Personally I believe to be the best cigarillos for blunts ever made... but that's just me). The cashier doesn't make any eye contact with me at first, then looks at me and laughs. The cashier is a 30 year old black man, and he calls over to his coworker who is a black woman and she looks at him, then he holds up the Swishers and points to me and they both laugh. I say thank you and am super polite and he doesn't make eye contact or say a word. I think that because in the area I live, white people think blunts are only for black people, and black people think it's "funny" for some reason that I (a white person) occasionally smokes blunts and I'm just like a walking joke to them. The second time, I asked for some Zig-Zag wraps and the cashier (also a 30 year old black man) laughed and said "You gonna roll reggies in here?". I looked at him and was polite at first and said "Haha, no". And then he said "Don't worry you can trust me, what do you roll in here though?". I didn't want to be a dick and diss someone who was possibly a fellow smoker, so I was like "Definitely something better quality than that". Then he kept asking me stuff before scanning them, like "So do you have any on you right now?" I started to just act impatient and not make eye contact and not really respond, and then he asks "Oh are you about to go get some now? Where's the loud man at?". I told him, "I'm really in a hurry to get somewhere so I'd appreciate it if I could just pay now". And he says "I was just trying to have a little fun with my customers!" Honestly, I don't feel comfortable talking about that with a stranger in public who is supposed to be serving me... I don't think a big chain like that wants their employees interrogating customers over their illegal drug use. From my experience being a cashier a few years ago, there's nothing wrong with maybe making a casual weed comment or kind of just a subtle joke with them about it... but asking them if they have weed on them, where they live and where they buy their weed... give me a fucking break.
I work for a gas station. Nope. What they did was just stupid. Call corporate if you're pissed I did something similar, but I hinted that the backwoods would make the best blunts. Didn't say it flat out though ....
Are you a kid lol? If a cashier gave me $10 in singles I would demand a $10 bill or a refund. I always went to this store run by Pakistani guys since I was 15 and they knew my friends and I were young. They always sold us anything that we could roll with and were nice
Lol just buy the RILLOS and leave who cares what they think this could be a 10 second interaction if you want it to be
Yeah, seriously. You are complaining about people doing things to you that you let them do. If you were a regular ass adult people wouldn't laugh at you or belittle you. They certainly wouldn't give you $10 in change either. Also, it kind of sounds like you've got a bit of a stick stuck some place. I agree that the first story about them laughing at you for the Swishers was uncalled for, but the second guy with the wraps sounds like he was just trying to engage you in joking around. I think you take some things too seriously and way too personally maybe. Especially when you say something like, "...who is supposed to be serving me." WTF man, nobody's "serving" you. They're cashiers ringing shit up at a store. They talk and interact with customers. It's a very social job. When you walk into some public place and buy things that are obviously for smoking weed, don't be surprised when someone tries to converse with you about that weed in that same public place. That second guy may have been looking for a hookup or just wanted to shoot the shit with another toker.
If a cashier said that to me I would tell her to give me a ten dollar bill or two fives and mind her own fucking business before I contact the manager. You're the customer, and I'm sure her manager would love to hear that she said that to you.
I was talking to a guy in some store last night and he said something that sounded sort of like "our bowls" and im like "WOW YOU GUYS SELL BOWLS?!!?" (they didnt) and then we sat there and jokingly made fun of pot and how we were trying our best to keep it out of the hands of kids by any means necisarry. *This is a signature*
go to a liquor store to buy your swishers, smoke it, then go to a 7-11 to buy coffee or 99 cents iced tea and all kinds of munchies
Where the fuck do live?! My only kind of experience with 7 -11 is awkwardly trying to get the dude talking loudly on his bluetooth facing the back wall to ring me up for a damn soda and candy bar :/ Thats kinda fucked though. Dont go to 7-11 anymore then. Thats super uncomfortable that he was drilling you like that
Fuck that ... I would've demanded my money back , "dropped" the wraps , then take my business elsewhere .
wow lotta serious stoners in here.... I agree with you that the indian dude at 7/11 gave you 1's is bogus, but the black dude was just cracking jokes with you, probably thought you were high, he could give two shits about you once you walk outside that door, just innocent customer-merchant conversation lol honestly if I was working at a gas station I would joke with a stoner who was clearly high or who was buying papers
Go again to the guy that gave you 10$ in change and if he does it again make a big deal out of it. Don't let this bitch make a fool out of you.
Im having a hard time believing this tale. 1. Why would he even care. 2. Its a sale for him,and if the pakistanis are anything like the UK then cash is god to them. 3. You must look pretty weak,that a cashier would say that to a random person. After all a lot of lads would have told him to fuck off,or even hit him a crack for being so rude!
7/11 talks to police all the time so be careful. Cops go in there looking for the leftover old food or whatever else they can get for free. Then they ask whose been buying the blunts. Sounds like you have some rats in your 7/11.
To the first story: What assholes, I sometimes deal with that here, but it's rare. To the second story: I don't really have a response. But I sure as hell would not have left with a "Thank you" 3: The dude probably was just cracking jokes, though I would've found that really pushy. And probably told the dude "Scan the shit, take my money, and go fuck yourself" Actually I probably wouldn't be that blunt (damn it ) but I certainly wouldn't have been completely passive about it. I also wouldn't return to that store, specifically if they were working at the hour I needed to buy something. Personally I've had no problems with 7-11 employees. Well, aside from a manager no longer speaking to me or making eye contact, but that's because I asked for an application, smoked, forgot about it, and lost it. Only to return a few days later to buy rillos, and immediately remember the application after smoking again. So yeah, that was a lost opportunity. The guy still does the transactions without any issue though. Fuck em, they don't give a damn once the transaction is complete and you are out the door. They probably won't even remember unless you're a regular customer. Or, you're like me and have a very distinct look about you.
The cashiers are acting unprofessional and you SHOULD call corporate office to complain. It may be a franchise store, so I would contact the owner, who's information should be easy to find. Since it is a smaller store, you can tell the guy you are going across the street because such and such is unprofessional and all your friends will also. The clerk has no interest in you going to his store. He only makes 10 an hour regardless if you are there or not. Besides he sounds like an asshole and deserves to be fired. I have been asked by Clerks about particular favors, like does the strawberry really taist like strawberry and things like that I hate buying at Walmart gas stations because they always ak for my Id. But I never been harassed about my purchases by any store clerk and if I was I would hit back. You as a paying customer for ANY product shouldn't be made to feel intimidated by the clerk.
You must live in Nebraska or some shit. In most cities, 7-11 cashiers probably sell blunt wraps every 10 seconds and are completely use to it. My advice is buy a months supply of blunt wraps to limit your exposure to 7-11 workers stuck in the 1950's. If they give you shit, ask them "is this a church or a 7-11"? If that's too much trouble, you can always start using bowls or vapes.
dont give me shit about my purchases you fuckin wage slave.., but i live in california where pretty much no convenience store clerk gives a shit.
