I was in the makeup aisle on the phone with a guy who wanted me to find some specific items for his wife. Another guy stood and waited for me to finish. I then went to him and he needed me to check in the back for something. Okay, I agree and then the phone rings. Service desk lady asks me if we have something in stock. It's in the same aisle we're in so I take a quick look. Yes, we have it. I'm obviously in a hurry to get off the phone to help this guy that's waited so long. Well, service desk lady asks me to wait a minute so she can send the customer over to see where the item is (even though I told her where.. *sigh*). The customer comes over and I show her the item. Okay, NOW I can look in the back for this poor guy, finally.
Nope, two women stop me.
They want to know if we have this very specific item in cosmetics. I'm not positive, and obviously don't have time to look. I get on my phone to page a worker (who doesn't have a phone because she's only doing returns or go-backs, whatever term you're familiar with). Suddenly my phone dies. The batteries our dept phones use have been fucked up lately, the phones will randomly die sometimes. Great timing! I'm visibly frustrated at this point, but tell the ladies I will need to get someone to come help them because I'm supposed to be helping someone else. Someone will be over, I tell them.
Guess what they did? Found the nearest manager and complained about me. Clearly what I need to do is clone myself so that I'm not so damned incompetent that I can't help ten people at once, right? I told my boss what happened, so I'm not in trouble or anything, just pissed about people....
