I don't get it. What's the punchline?

I didn't realize until the last couple of days how much I miss my regulars.

I had one woman had her daughter bake me cookies, another couple customers keep offering me jobs elsewhere, a third customer helped me with my house hunting, a girl today wrote down her phone # and gave it to me (too fat

), a customer offered to sell me a BMW for 2k below bluebook, another offered to let me borrow their personal copy of something that we never have in, a couple of people have brought over cases of redbul for me (and my staff...

on days when i was obviously a bit down... one guy actually bought us a pizza once, some of my regulars who work at starbucks comp me drinks/give me coupons...

my customers fucking love me even more than my staff do. i'm going to miss most of them, I cant imagine any other retail place where the customer relationships get so strong as a place where you see them once a week or more. honestly, the customers are the only reason i've stuck around as long as I did. if it weren't for my new DL specifically targetting me any time anything in the store goes wrong, and maybe him listening when i told him I needed a raise if I was going to be able to keep working for BBV, I might not be composing a 2 weeks notice right now.

nm the other 2 managers in my store, or the 2 that just left. nevermind the fact that when I leave, 2 other people will walk out the door with me because there's nobody else there worth working with, and more than a few customers will wonder why the fuck they let me go, or the fact that i've basically been the only thing holding that place together for 3 of the last 4 SMs i've had...

if somethings wrong in my store, the DL will harass me about it, and the DL and SM will sit in the back talking about football while i'm in the front trying to cram 3 shifts worth of work into a 6 hours shift.

Aww.

I'd probably go out with any woman that had the courage to ask me out.

But she'd pay.

I had a guy come in a long time ago. It was about the time DVD was finally starting to become popular. He had just bought his first DVD player and was looking to buy some new movies (wtf was he doing at BBV?) Anyways, he was in the store for about an hour picking out a bunch of movies that he wanted. It was a sunday morning, so it was dead, and my coworker and I were able to walk around with him and make recommendations and what not and shoot the shit. Well he ended buying $1,000 worth of new movies and paid cash. He just pulls out this huge wad of 100's. This guy was fucking loaded. He pulled up in a nice car and everything. After paying, he throws a $50 bill down on the counter, and tells my CSR and I to get ourselves something nice for lunch. We first said we could not take his money, but he insisted. So we had ourselves a huge feast that day.
