I work at a grocery store selling beer and wine in a small town in PA, and I have my daily crazies where they flip out on me over stupid shit like the beer and wine ounce limits and showing their ID. There are a lot of regulars that I really enjoy talking to. One guy (don’t know his name) comes in daily to get a cup of coffee and cookies and for a long time a lot of people thought he was just some crazy crack head because he talks to himself. Found out like 7 months ago that he has schizophrenia and he believes that he’s a homicide detective. Sometimes when he comes in he’s either super quiet, mumbling, or just straight up yelling. He talkings about brutal murders and rapes that happen around the country. When serving him today it took him about 15 minutes to count and sort his money for his 2.06 total. I was super patient with him as he mumbled and talked about shootings and guns and bullet cases found on the floor, when I asked if he wanted his receipt he said “No, she was a rape victim.” And I just happily said have a good day and he said “You too.” Morale of the story is to be patient with people don’t get all worked up over someone with a disability and just treat everyone with kindness. It goes a long way. TLDR: Guy with schizophrenia talks about rapes and murders and he’s a pretty cool guy.
