Cashier: I’ll ring you out while the manager looks it up

Me: *watches it be bagged with other groceries and the customer taking her bag*

Me to the customer: It was bagged with *insert other groceries* and you took your all your bags. I’m sorry we can’t replace it because you left with it according to our cameras.

Customer: well I just don’t understand how that can be because I don’t have them

Me: *politely answers no to each one*

Customer: *goes up to my cashier* do you sell bicycle pumps because I think that child back there doesn’t have a clue about anything?

My cashier: That “Child” is the manager so if she said no, it’s a no

😂😂😂

Can we please stop being twatwaffles and hand our money to cashiers instead of making them pick it up off the counter.

I got called to come into work, I’m on vacation, to sign off on my performance review because today is the last day...

Me: No, Sir, we...

Customer: You know the little round circles that help you hold your phone

Me: No, we do not

Then we I apologized and said I’m sorry we have no control over that sort of thing it’s controlled by corporate.

She said “Well, I’m sure they would listen to you if you made the suggestion.”

First off, I was raised not to interrupt people while they are busy.

Secondly, my boss and I had a good laugh because you also complained to her about herself because when you asked if we still sold kids pjs she said “No, thank god”

Thirdly, the oh so important thing your child said to me was “I like slime”.

PSA: I don’t talk to children and you’re honestly very lucky that I don’t.

and to please stop arguing with me.

Customer: Here’s 7 *hands me $7* do you have the .02 or... *starts slowly reaching for his wallet*

And I couldn’t have been happier 😂

The other night, my cashier comes back to get me (I was on break) because she’s having problems with the pinpad. So I go and help her and while that customer is paying he asks if he can also get a cigar on a different transaction. I turn to get so they can finish the transaction and go right into the next one because their are 4 people waiting.

Then this manchild yells, “hey hun how about you open another register”. So I go “I’m not currently on the clock but...” and naturally he interrupts me before I can say “give me a minute to clock in” and he starts,

“Well who else is here to help?”.

“It’s just me and her but...”

“This is ridiculous. You leave her out her every night on her own. There should be more people here”

So I walk over to my register, clock in, and yell “I’ll take anyone but that guy”

Corporate to corporate: now increase the size of their truck

Which also means it’s that time of year where the financial year is coming to a close for most companies.

This is like 2 tangents in one so bare with me if you’re reading this.

I work for a store that does $2 million in sales yearly, and corporate has decided to cut out hours so badly that people are alone in the store from time.

Now I am someone that thinks no matter how small the business is no one should be alone but realistically I know it happens a lot.

But how can you allow a store that does that much business, is less than a minute from 2 highways, and sits between 2 areas that you have deemed “bad areas” ( one of which is under 5 mins) to have employees be alone? Not only is it stupid and unsafe, but it pisses customers off because no one else can help them and I lie and say “of course I’m not alone” but I’m not a fucking dumbass.

Tangent #2

My boss is an asshole to put it politely. She was planning on taken her vacation starting 12-29 but that’s against policy. So for 2 weeks I was like “did you check with the DM? Is he gonna let you start it early?” And she didn’t it wasn’t till a week ago that he saw the schedule for this week and was like you can’t go on vacation till the 1st.

So she changed the schedule and put me on New Year’s Eve (one of the 2 holidays I take off every year) but luckily for her my plans had been cancelled. So I let it go and kept New Year’s Day off and was gonna be able to spend the rest of New Year’s Eve with family then New Year’s Day running errands with my mom.

Well she tells me on the 29th that she needs someone to cover opening New Years because she has a (non-medical) appointment and that we can play it by ear as to whether or not she comes in after or takes a vacation day. Awfully fishy since most companies are closed on New Years.
