"Hey Sista Spare Some Change pt. 2"

In the same vein....

We have a male customer, used to be really nice looking and you can tell from the way he acts that he's accustomed to women 'doing' for him. He's nice enough, just annoying at times. He has loans with us and is frequently late paying them, gripes about how we 'rip him off'; he sure didn't mind taking the money in the first place! He just resents having to pay it back. Let's call him "Dirk".

A few months ago, Dirk came in to pay his electric bill. The electric company adds on a surcharge to the bill for paying it at our store. Dirk had a shutoff notice and he had to pay exactly what the bill said. He was short .76 cents. My father was helping him pay the bill, and Dirk leaned over the counter and motioned at me, and asked, "Hey can I borrow 76 cents?" I was taken aback by his question. (Why didn't he ask the man helping him? for one thing!) I told him I don't carry cash, sorry. He said, "Well I figured you'd help me out seeing as how you take so much of my money in here anyway!" Wow, what a dillweed. I didn't even know what to say; what I wanted to say probably would have gotten me fired. Guess he blew his bill money on cigarettes that day? Sure ask some woman to pay your bills, like the one you are shacked up with, ya loser.
