I work in a shop for a few months and when i left i i was sooo glad to be away from all the customers. most of them are ok, will talk and it was great. but then there are those who think they can treat u like their *****. i asked someone for I.D when they wanted to buy cigarettes but they didnt have any so i wouldnt sell them any. they said 'you're such a twat and walked off in an huff. i pissed off so many people doing that. on my last day i was really hoping someone would say something so i could be really sarcastic back (what are the company gona do, fire me?) but unfortunatley they didnt. i was really disappointed.
A friend of a friend had a dog with that problem once. Let me tell you, the solution is not pleasant.The Rogue Wolf post=18.70218.729586 said:

Not at all. Take the phrase 'walk the dog' and replace 1 consonant in the 1st word.Cyclomega post=18.70218.730053 said:
Ugh. If I ever went shopping with my "Ex-Friend" she'd always scream the cash register person who was serving me when I bought something; "NO SHE DOESN'T NEED A BAG! SHe has plenty already." It was an embarrasment.The_root_of_all_evil post=18.70218.721007 said:
Then she did it in Superdrug one day when I didn't even have any other bags and I just screamed at her "I'm having a fecking bag." I honestly think she thought she was saving the world by showing me up all over a bloody placcy bag. I even had to chuck out about 70 quids worth of cosmetics because she'd used it all and contaminated it all with her cold-sore/herpes filth. ¬_¬
Anyroad. I used to work in Clinton Cards. (Joy.) Our first two feet of cards for overseas went out at the end of October-ish. Then some strange wifey would come in asking for this one specific christmas card. One from the dog to the wifeys niece that just happened to be a money wallet card.
Then there would be this one old granny that'd come in, complain about the price of the cards, complain they weren't like they used to be, complain we didn't have one for her cat's belated birthday, then try paying for 30 quids worth of cards in 2 pence pieces and buttons. ¬_¬
Yes, he had the dog surgically altered to look like Columbo (its probably spelt with an 'e', but who cares, its just too amusing a picture to pass up).TheGhostOfSin post=18.70218.730079 said:
I had a guy spit on me for telling him to leave the store after he verbally abused this confused old lady....hit me right in the middle of the forehead
Next thing i know the guys laying outside the front door of the store as i had according to CCTV rushed round the tills caught up with him 3 ft from the door shoulder barged him so hard he flew outside and started whinging about assault, to which the manager responded "you spat on him you commited the assault first, now fuck off before i phone the police"
I loved that job

"I AM AWAKENED BY WANTING."
Now some wit changed the T to a K.
I had a customer explode on me, because I didn't know what type of ciggarettes he wanted... I got so pissed, that I told him to "fuck off" and "get the hell out". He then comes back the next day, to tell my co-worker, he was going to file harassment!! Hahaha, he then comes back a next day, and asks for his cigarettes(specifying the kind this time) and acts like nothing happens. He later tells my co-worker that I wasn't the one to yell at him, but some other male worker at the store... Yet me and my co-worker, are the only two guys there...
I'm still amazed by that...

I used to work at Waitrose (for those that don't know it's a quite expensive Supermarket) on the checkout and all the time I would get people coming in and asking for Discounts because it was more expensive than some other store and we should operate a matching policy or something.
But this one time a guy about mind-20s walks up to my till thinking the world owes him something and mouths off about how the store is expensive or whatever so I just told him to piss off to the Sainsburys down the street. That made me feel better.

I know, I'm about 8 pages late. Sue me, but I have an answer, and it's amazing in it's sheer dorkiness.cleverlymadeup post=18.70218.687175 said:
As you can probably guess from my usename, I'm a clarinetist. Now when you play the clarinet for a long time, spit starts to build up inside it, and gets into the keypads. Guess what the best thing for getting the spit out is? That's right, cigarette paper!
Going home from my carpet cleaning job (more stories for later) I stopped at a Tim Horton(')s for an icecap. When I got in the building there was a line of about 5 people and it was moving slowly. Reason for the slow line, there were only 3 employees in the place; 1 for the drive through, 1 for preparing the food and another for the till inside. The girl behind the till looked exhausted. Another person lines up behind me shortly after my arrival, then another after him. After about 30 seconds of waiting the guy in the back sighes then asks "What's taking so long?" I turn to the guy directly behind me an start a convrsation like this.
Me: It seems like everybody is looking for help these days
Random Dude: Yeah, the service more then any other.
Me: Like here, where there are ONLY 3 PEOPLE WORKING TONIGHT.
RD: That's the Alberta Advantage for you.
The J.A. that made the comment gave me a dirty look, then look around realized there were only 3 workers and hung his head in shame. He even apologized to the girl behind the till before he ordered.

3.) The customer is always an arsehole.
Try bar work, now THAT is frustrating. I worked in this slightly middle-class swanky bar a while back. Now that place was full of idiots. Not only that but they were the kind of idiots that you really wanted to slap. One guy come up to me one evening demanding I let him use our office fax machine, because he needed to recieve some important documents from a friend of his who had just him a hotel in Norway for his damn birthday!
Needless to say, he got two waves of grief; Once from me and again from my manager.
That place was full of yuppies with more money than sense. We used to have to wipe down the chrome shelves behind the lavvy's because the punters used to snort coke off them. ¬_¬
It's quite simple really, don't be an ass, on either side of the counter, or you'll probably get it back double.
Most people in retail didn't choose it to be the end of their career path and don't need any extra grief during their day, it bugs me when I've tried all I can to help, but can't get what they wanted, so despite me trying, its my fault.
Not funny but true, be nice to others! Saves everyone time and stress and keeps the additives out of your meal.
