"Hi, I'm Bill Collins"
Once I had to 'train' a new guy at work. This involved me letting him do all the work and giving him encouraging tips every now and then. We talked about music for most of the time he was there.
And then I served this guy. I'm looking at him, going 'Wow, that looks like Bill Collins...' and then he gives me his credit card to buy these two books and I look at the name - it's Bill freaking Collins! He starts whinging about how the pen doesn't work when he tries to sign the eftpos slip and I'm just staring at him and grinning. Then he walks off, grumbling. I almost told him I was a fan of his reviews in Empire Magazine and that I used to watch him all the time when I was a kid, but I wasn't sure how he'd react.
I later told one of the girls at work and she goes "I hate him! He always comes in, he's such a frigging cheapskate!" AHAHAHAHA, she then adds, "You didn't tell him you recognised him did you?"
"Um, no, why?"
"Once this girl who worked here ran after him and got an autograph off him".
"And...?"
"He loved her for it. I don't want him to get a big head!"
Later, on my break I went to Best Less to buy another business shirt and I hear this kid in the line go "Mum just farted and tried to blame it on me!" And the mother says, embarrassed and laughing nervously, "I did not!" And then the lady behind me starts pissing herself with laughter!
