At work, when I'm chained to the till like the good little till monkey I am, I draw faces on the bakery sheet; a card that shows pictures of various bakery goods, and the code that you need to punch into the till for them. I add a face to each product day by day, and so far I have an extremely happy white crusty roll, a stern, perhaps thoughtful multi seeded triangle, and a sexy petite pain.

We're also required to input people's ages when they buy items that require ID, like cigarettes and shit. I apparently get great fun out of putting completely the wrong age in, putting a little old lady as 18, and annoying customers as a good ten years or so above the age I actually think they are. I once spent a long Saturday shift making the ages ascending, I started at 18, the next person was 19, etc. I sadly lost count in the sixties.

Given the new laws about providing proof of age, we have a book in which we're meant to write down the details of anyone we have to refuse service to, ie, they look too young and don't have ID on them. We're required to fill this up to make our manager look good for making us follow the rules, which sucks a little since we're small and local; we tend to KNOW who are underage or not. So, I had fun making a few of my own entries, sometimes making them as if they're little stories. For example;

Short youth with brown hair, looked fifteen. No ID, got annoyed, and left.

Short youth with brown hair and cape, looked fifteen. No ID, got annoyed, flared his cape, and left.

Tall youth with red hair, looked seventeen. No ID, short youth with brown hair peering through window. No ID, understood, and left.

.. it gets so boring on that till. Anyone got any ideas for fictional characters I can put in there? I've only got Dr Who in there at the moment, I wasn't feeling too imaginative.

Man with beard and sandles
wanted ciggies, looked 17 (was a crappy wispy beard) so I told him to fuck off. He went away grumbling something about his dad creating the universe and he'd arrange to have a thunderbolt sent down to fuck up the store...

Large boy, 17
looked about 25, but had ID so I didn't serve him.

Old lady
Possibly blind, sarcastic, realised she was in the wrong shop, got annoyed and left.
