Child vs. Bathing Suits

The cringe is real.

I. WILL. USE. THIS.

*An item won’t scan*

EVERY. SINGLE. CUSTOMER. EVER: Well, I guess it’s free. ^-^

I wish

I used to be a fan of “screwing with customers in a way that irritates them but isn’t really going over the top” lines when they said dumb shit.

My favorite was after getting the dumb “Is it free then hahaha” line after something wouldn’t scan, I would say “It is, but that joke adds a $45 surcharge to your total” in a deadpan manner, and that would usually shut them up.

ya know one thing that bugs me more than anything is when I ask a customer “do you have a rewards card” and they say “yeah but forget it I don’t remember the number” and literally as I’m collecting their change they are like “I think I remember the number “602-18...” like wtf dude it’s too late, take your change and leave. And then a few times they’ve asked me “well can’t you scan the receipt and add my card?” Smh

Okay, so, this is kind of Petty, but I feel successful. I was working the drive-thru window, and I had a guy specifically order a small drink, which is about $1.80. Well, when he got up to the window, he saw the drink (after he had paid, of course) and said that he wanted a medium. Now, I had already had enough of stupid customers for the day, so I went ahead and got him a medium drink. Unbeknownst to the customer, we were in our happy hour, which meant that medium drinks were only a dollar. So, when I filled up his drink, I laughed to myself, because he had paid extra for a drink he could have gotten for a dollar. Is this petty? Yes. Did I really do all this over 80 cents? Yes. But you know what? It felt good to do this in my soul, and my coworker absolutely loved it.

I work in a drugstore in the center of a tourist town so we're always busy, especially on weekends. Cue a woman coming to my register Saturday afternoon while the line is stretching halfway across the store: "Do you sell dish soap? I couldn't find any." "Yes, it's in housewares." "I didn't see it." My mind starts racing. You didn't see it? Housewares is literally half an aisle, and 70% of that is dish soap. How the fuck can you miss it. "Can you go grab it for me?" So I did. Jesus.

Feets vs Retail

Say goodbye to your soft feet. Because once you go into retail you're standing + walking for 8+ hours with only a 15-30 minute break to sit.

To all the customers who try to put shit back. Please don't. You don't know where that shit goes.

Customer Service

I know that the rules for customer service is "The customer is always right" but boi. Some customers are sooo wrong. It hurts.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner

So we came out with a Kendall and Kylie Jenner clothes line. Great! I love the clothes~

The thing is. It's EXPENSIVE AF. Like jeans are 59.99, it's crazy.

But apparently this customer didn't understand the signs. The signs says "New Collection!" And its a black sign with bolded yellow words. The other section of the store is PINK. Whole lot of pink signs with bold white words telling you what's for sale, and how much.

IN NO SIGN. DOES IT SAY. "WHOLE STORE DISCOUNT. 50% OFF." She goes. And gets like 4 Kendall and Kylie Jenner clothes. Comes to the cash and it comes up to like.. 200 some dollars. And she has the nerve to say about the NEW. DROPPED. COLLECTION.

"Your whole store is on discount. It's 50% off on all the items I got." I had to explain to her that, because it a new collaboration. And it JUST dropped. There's no discount on the Kendall and Kylie Jenner clothes line. She makes a huge fuss about how i'm wrong and who the hell i thought i was and i was just thinking the whole time "I'm a cashier listening to an idiot who can't read obvious signs or have any common sense."

She ends up paying the ammount and stomping out of the store with her Kendall and Kylie Jenner clothes. But damn. Customers are so stupid at times it hurts.

Thank you for coming to my line :)

And then saying "Oh one second!" And LEAVING to go get another t-shirt! While my line GETS LONGER and people start to get impatient! And angry! Just so you can come back with nothing saying "Nevermind, i don't like it, here's cash"

AND GIVING ME $100 FOR A $25.65 ITEM!!

Have a nice day :) and thank you for the long line of angry customers :)
