  • Mondays Melt My Brain

    I think I have had my weeks worth of suck in one long day...

    ---You Are My Product List---

    We have a massive TV range, no one in their right mind knows every TV at every price and its exact location, do not come up to me and ask me for a TV that is 37-42" SMART enabled and costs around £400 and that's a "good brand" - I will not be able to help you. You find out which ones you want and I will tell you info about them.

    I can't pick and choose your TV for you and decide what is a good brand, but if you want me to do that, don't reject every TV I give you asking if I have anything else.

    ---Let me finish my spiel first---
    I get you don't want to take out our extended warranty even though it's actually quite good on TV's and I actually DO have it myself, if you still want to leave it that's perfectly fine. At least let me finish my spiel that I am REQUIRED to do before you boldly go "Don't want it" - because you know what you just earned a free 10 minute lesson on how slow I can go explaining all the features that it has and how they benefit you.

    If you'd of just shut your cakewhole I could have got through it in 30 seconds and you could of said "No thanks" and that would be that. But no. Still, I get paid for that 10 mins so yeah.


    ---Sexism---
    I actually don't care if you don't like the female who served you last time, she is the only one free to help so if you are going to come over to me to complain there is no one to help you then take her, if you don't want her, don't complain. Beggars can't be choosers. Oh and tell your wife she STINKS of pee. To the point where when she left the air around here still smells of it...Ugh.

    ---Iono---
    If you want to buy something and no one is there to help you have two options.

    1) Take the arduous journey across the store, all 60 odd foot of it, and find a sales person - then walk back to show them which you want - meaning you need to take the arduous journey twice.

    2) Bring the ticket to the sales person and only make one trip and say "I'd like one of these" (Please (optional, but often preferred))

    Do not just hand me the ticket like it fell from the sky and stare at me.

    Do not, when I ask you "Yes?" respond with "Yup" - I will not judge you. If you want to buy it. TELL ME!

    ---Discount---
    You want discount on a £50 cable? How much? A free one!? Oh OK then just show me the £2000 TV set you purchasing then so I can consider phoning up the GM for a auth code...oh you want a £100 sound system. Well no, no see that's not going to happen.

    You came back and saw a cable for £3 over the road at another shop. Yeah, there's a reason that cable is only £3.....

    Maybe she is that lady from My Strange Addiction that is addicted to drinking her own urine, bathing in it, brushing her teeth with it, washing her eyeballs out with it and using it as perfume! Gross!

    When I worked in the art store, we used to have two regulars were like that. This one guy, slightly on the larger side, pit stained white t shirts, messy hair, unshaven beard and an awful stench mix of urine, bo and old stale cigarettes. Whenever he came in, he was always returning and his stuff, even tho never used, had this awful smell mixture too. Even the bag stank of rank. It got to the point where we were not to return anything of his.

    The other guy, we called him foul airbrush guy, reeked of stale beer and pee. He also sported pit stained white wife beaters and swore up a storm that would make a sailor blush. I do recall one time when he said the F word. Another customer in the store with her young daughter says: "There are kids in here, watch your language please!" He says, "No, I wont. she is going to F@#$#@G learn the F$#$#@G words anyway! We couldn't say anything because he left right after.

    Sorry, didn't mean to thread jack.

      Eww, pee stink That's awful. That smell lingers like mad.

      For the first story, I've gotten similar people like that. I don't get it. I understand that you're browsing (I browse, too), but don't you know anything at all before coming in? *sigh*

      For extended warranties, I do admit that I hate hearing the spiel. I don't want or need to hear all of it. I've never had sometime that had to continue on me, though. It usually ends when I say "no, thank you". Sucks that you have to get through it all. Though if you can make 30 seconds last 10 minutes, I'd have walked away by the second time I said no thanks

      We're not supposed to take the tags off the shelves here. At tickets the same thing?

        I'm guessing it's a ticket that you take to the cashier to buy the item and then you pull your car over to a pickup area to have it loaded.

          I also hate the SPIEL we're required to do. Now, in my case, it's to ask if the customer wants to donate candy to the troops. Not buy an extended warranty, not sign up for some godawful mailing list, just purchase a candy bar that gets sent to the actual troops.

          First one:

          (what I'm supposed to say) - "would you like to donate some candy to the troops today?"
          Me; "Would you like"
          SC: grunts NO

          Second one:
          Me: "Would you like to donate some candy to the troops today?"
          SC - " No I don't believe in that"
          Me: "okay your total is $XX.XX"
          <customer behind the SC, after SC leaves> "WOW did he really say that?"

            Talk about taking recycling to the extreme!

            I can't stand those that come in to the store in tattered rags and being generally unkempt, yet they spend thousands of dollars and aren't dressed to it. I know some stores emphasize to treat everyone the same and they use the unkempt customers as example, but the jokes on them. Sorry person, but the world does judge people based on appearances, and your example won't change me or anyone else in the world. Does that mean if I curse at you and put you down that you'll realize that I'm really a nice guy after all?

              But don't expect for the item to FIT in the SC'S car.

                Tickets are the price of the item and the information. It's double annoying because I then have to walk back and place it back on the display item.

                    There's actually a car called the Fit. What do you bet that it won't, despite the name?

                    (And aren't there parts of the world where "fit" is a synonym for seizure? I hope they call it something else in those markets.)

                        Southern U.S. for one, at least back a few decades. I remember an aunt who had epilepsy having her seizures referred to that way. Haven't heard it used that way anytime lately, but still common in lots of places to say a person "had a fit" , meaning they got upset or angry, verbally.

                        Madness takes it's toll....
                        Please have exact change ready.

                          Add to that 100+ degree weather outside and you have the guy I had to suffer with yesterday morning on the baking aisle while conditioning the spices and tea.

                          Even after I'd gotten 2 aisles away I could still smell him . . .

                          Don't get me wrong, I adore perfume and cologne . . . but this was simply way too much of a good thing, mixed in with sweat. Not a turn on by any means, unless I want an empty stomach . . .

                            Yeah, it's called the entire world.

                              And some people buy scents that simply do not work with their body chemistry. Emeraude makes my Mom smell like soured laundry. She always had me go perfume shopping with her, she has no sense of smell.

                              Also, Axe and any associated product advertisers can die in a fire. They encourage people with no sense at all to hose themselves down with stink, and their main target is adolescent boys who frequently have showering issues anyway. Strong scents in confined places are a great migraine trigger for me
