This Job Would Be Great If It Weren't For The Customers
    #5360180 - 03/03/06 12:08 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I work retail.  For now.  I usually don't get the asshole customers because my attitude usually gives off the impression that I care so little about your affairs that you can yell at me all you want, you won't get the response you're looking for.  I get them now and again, but nothing special...until tonite.

I was checking some customers out when this lady comes up to the counter and gives me the items she's buying.  I ask her if she found everything alright, blah blah.  Everything's going fine when all of a sudden she says to me "You know, you should work on your social skills." 
And I say "What?" and immediatley think to myself "uh oh, here we go, this is gonna be fun."  She just had the look...5'2", 200lbs, a 2nd chin so big it almost dwarfed her real one, sweat stains forming at the sides of her armpits....

She says "You need to work on your social skills." 

I reply "oh yeah? why's that?" 
"Because you were really rude to me." 
"How does my being rude have anything to do with my social skills?"
"I'm a professional relations expert."  She told me. 
"Ma'am did you hear the question that I asked?" 
"Yes, I heard you." 
"Did you know I asked you a question?" 
She says "You obviously have no skills." 
"No skills in what?"  I ask. 
She responds, "You need to work on your personality."

At this point I'm completely shocked, I'm really not sure if this lady is hearing me or if she's on drugs or deaf and just reading my lips or what.  I reply back to her "Ma'am, if you're really in public relations, I'm really shocked you make a living doing it, you haven't even responded to any of my questions."  She then got this weird look on her face and she grabs the bag, huffing and puffing, muttering under her breath something about the president.

This really happened today.  I couldn't make this up.  I'm really not sure what to think, other than to laugh.  :lol:

It was just the weirdest thing I've experienced in a long time.

You should have told her you don't sell products to fat people.

i love ripping into the random customer i work at a pizza place. you know when ya call and they say its gonna be 30 mins for a carry out its mostly due to their own laziness it only takes about 3 mins to put the toppings on at the most and thats if its like a combo or something annoying like that and our oven takes 6 minutes lol I'm stoned and rambling lol but yeah people get pissed at me sometimes like when we run outta some shit like ranch they act like its the fucking end of the world. one thing that annoys me is when they bring me the empty bread stick thing from the salad bar and expect me to have this big bucket of bread sticks that i can just take some more from lol i tell em ill have them out there in 15-20 minutes lol

Yeah, I hear ya. The weirdest customer I've ever had was a Japanese guy that could barely speak english. He came up to me and asked "Do you have a pen that's half pen, half broom?" I didn't answer for a second or two...."Did you say 'half pen, half broom?" He says "yeah, half pen, half broom." I said "I'm not sure, let me ask my co-worker over here." I walk over to my buddy and tell him that he needs to deal with it. 5 minutes later my buddy comes back and was like "half pen, half broom?" I said "Oh, you didn't help him either?"

Fucking People.

He was probably talking about those feather pen things.

I work in retail also :thumbdown:. I hate getting foreigners that I have to ask to repeat what they said multiple times because I can't understand a word they're saying. It fuckin sucks.
