Heres The Run-Down

Ok. My life is way to comical to keep to myself anymore.
Lets start with the basics:
Name:Katherine Paige Andresen
Age: 18 (HOLLA)
Location: Bountiful, Utah
School: Olympus High School Senior
Occupation(s): Lion House Banquet Server, Costco Front End assistant, being awesome.
With that out of the way, let me explain what happens everyday, because its hilarious.
Being a high school senior, i decided its optional to attend school. I'm a legal adult so i've thrown my threat out and no one can do anything about it (don't tell me otherwise, i'm lovin it.) As a new front-end assistant, i've learned THAT is important to attend. The stories i've gained in the past month are about as good as Wal-Mart employees have, im positive. Ill share one of my favorites tonight.
Three friends are walking into my lane chit-chattin and laughing.
As i help them load their items, i pleasantly request their Costco cards, cardS.
One lady throws me her card, annoyed i would so rudely interrupt her friend from explaining the rest of her hemorrhoid pains.
Yep, thats fact kids.
As i examine this womans card i look at the picture and look back at the lady. Standing in front of me is a mid-40 year old blond, maybe 145 pounds. Pictured on this Costco card is a 50 year old, huge mexican.
Love mexicans, again just fact.
"Ma'am, is this your card?" "Uh, yes. That's why i handed it to you" Her friend obviously got to the good part in her story by her snippy remark. I lean over to the cashier on my lane and show her the card and ask her to look at the lady. Kelly, my cashier, replies "Ma'am, Costco cards are non-transferable. Im sorry but youre not going to be able to show here today without your own card." Girlfriend flips. She tells her friends who all flip, because they all were planning on using that card. "Well," responds this woman, " This card is my sisters card, and she just left with some other people and is letting me use it, can i?" "Ummmm..... no!" " Well we had some other friends use this card a minute ago and you let them" the lady says. Kelly, my hero, goes "No they didnt, because if they had, it would be with them not you. You cant shop here. Sorry." This lady's friend then says, " Well can you tell us what we have done is wrong and make us promise not to use someone card we dont know again." Seriously, $50 a year isnt that bad. Quit being a cheap-a. "Nope, Costco doesnt use 3-strikes-your-out." says Kelly. And with that, the woman THROWS her card at us and stomps away with her friends. I guess she didnt want her stolen card or basket of crap after all.
Welcome to 8 hours of my every day life. Psychos like that.
