  • I don't like your attitude

    This was a really rude SC, who practically took my breath away with her nastiness. The only good thing about her is that she chose to be rude to me in front of my manager, so if she tries to complain about my "attitude", I have back up.

    At first, she just seemed snobby and up her own arse, so I didn't bother chatting to her, just tried to get the transaction over and done with as soon as possible. Then the SC put the card in the machine too early. I asked her politely to take her card out, then put it back in; the SC yanked the card out then stood there glaring at me resentfully. Since she obviously didn't hear the second part of what I said, I again said to put the card in. The SC replied by saying,

    "I don't like your attitude. You're very rude."

    It wasn't so much what she said, but the voice in which she said it. It was really spiteful, and in a tone that suggested that she thought of me as nothing more than a worthless slave. She put her card in, paid and took off. I was trying to hold back the tears; I should be used to SCs by now, but sometimes having someone speak to you in that way just gets to you. The customer I served after the SC deserves a mention in the SC class as she ignored the fact that the cashier was in tears and just carried on. Personally, had I been in that situation, I would at least have asked if the cashier was alright. As soon as I could, I went out back.

    All I can hope for is that karma bites the SC in the butt one day; perhaps her obviously rich husband will leave her, and she'll end up working in retail and finally realise just how it feels when someone speaks to you like you're worthless.

    I get the feeling that a lot of the really nasty SCs like the one you mentioned have never worked in retail, fast food, etc., and they all have a certain "self-importance" about themselves.

    And too many SCs have become scammers and tried the whole "Customer is always right" thing.

    Well, I have a newsflash for those SCs: No, the customer is not always right.

      times like that i mentally wish a case of hemorrhoids on them.

      Cos it's not fatal... but hopefully they'll have a pain in their ass that's close to how much of a pain in the ass they were.

        I'm so glad that I've just kinda sealed off every emotion I've ever had as soon as I get into my work. Almost five years at my job and I've never cried. *knock on wood*

        I have a college degree and I'm smarter than 95% of the people who walk into my gas station. So when people treat me like shit I just put on this really stoic face and then attempt in the most passive way possible to make them feel like they're stupid. Usually it works. Sometimes you get the ones who will probably feel stupid while they're driving home.

        As for the ones who never feel sorry or stupid or anything: They'll be arrested someday for child abuse/neglect, spousal abuse, or assault and battery outside a bar. Their lives are much worse than yours so just take comfort the fact that they will probably NEVER be as happy as you are.

          I've had to do pretty much the same thing at my job, though I don't work retail.

          I work with so many man/woman infants, that whine and cry over any little stupid thing.....it's just not worth it to give them any fuel. Lately, we've had so many catfights and people trying to one up one another...it's ricockulous.

            You're not being spiteful enough.

            I hope that woman steps on a Lego barefoot.

            THAT'S RIGHT, I SAID IT.

              I would have sworn that was my future sister-in-law but she's in Canada.

              Speaking as a former CSR, I completely understand. Hope you're doing better now.

                  I had a bitchtomer much like this one at a c-store AND she was a regular AND a good friend of the owner of the store. She thought her shit was perfumed nectar and everyone, including her hubby, worshiped at her feet---until she walked in on him in bed with someone else. I got to be there the day she came to the store to talk to my boss/her buddy about being devastated that he cheated on her.

                  The only good thing she could find in the situation was that she had him over a barrel and he was going to have to really suck up to her to 'win' her trust back. As it turns out though, she was just as nasty to him as she was everyone else and he didn't want to win her back; he wanted a divorce and he wanted to be with the woman he was cheating with. He cut her off financially and she ended up working the cash register in a tanning salon.

                  I hope your bitchtomer gets a similar awakening and I wish her the most horrible sc's on the planet. Someone so bad they make the cashier cry and they remain unapologetic is really the worst kind of sucky in my opinion.
                  I'm sorry, but I've reached my maximum allowable exposure to stupidity limit for the day. I'll have to get back to you tomorrow.

                    2nd one may not have deliberately been being an sc. She may have thought that if she mentioned the tears, it would embarrass you. I know some nice people like that. You can break down and cry in front of them, and if you don't mention it, they won't either. something to do with the way they were raised.
                    If course if she was just being an sc, hope she gets her comeuppance.

                        Thanks everyone; I admit to have thought the Lego stepping. Only I thought going down the stairs, stepping on a Lego with every step. XD

                          Yes, it does. And they know it, too. I'd bet many of them were the Mean Girls in high school and never outgrew it. They're still looking for someone to pick on, to demean, to make themselves look big by making someone else feel small. Lace, I'm sorry you had to deal with that, you're much better than she is (the fact that you don't engage in that nonsense proves that.)

                          Worse are the ones that make the cashier cry and they look triumphant, even gleeful. sociopaths. Just send them through the as there's no way to teach them to be better.
