10. Wanting does not equal getting. You can want it all day, that does not mean I have to get it for you.

9. Ignorance is no excuse for the law, and it is certainly not going to cut it here either.

8. I will try being nicer as soon as you try being smarter.

7. Look, another shining example of why I want to homeschool my children.

6. There are signs, they have words, the words will tell you important information. Try reading them once in a while.

5. If the register is off, and no person is standing at it, and there is a sign blocking it, then maybe, perhaps, there might be a chance that you should use another register. Tossing the sign aside and glaring at me will not make me open the register just for you.

4. There is no mysterious and magical back room where we hide your most prized possessions. If we had the item you want it would be out on the shelves, where you could find it, and buy it, and leave.

3. Just because you know the owner's/manager's name does not mean I am going to ignore company policy and give you want ever you are asking for. You may know the President's name as well, but I doubt that will get you past the secret service.

2. If the item is not out in stores yet then I cannot pull it out of thing air for you. You may believe you saw it else where a week ago, but telling me so will not create a hole in the fabric of time allowing me to get the item for you. Until they ship it out I cannot sell it to you.

1. I am smiling because I know that one day karma will catch up with you and you will spend your next few lives as a cockroach in a lab being tested for various insect killers.
