I had to call a manager over and explain to her that I might have a few complaints tonight.
We are busy because school is out, lots of vacations and end of the school year stuff, so lots of photos. So my manger decides to take a month long vacation leaving us short. We have one person in our dept. begging for a transfer out of our store do to her getting harassing phone calls which the policed have traced TO WITHIN THE BUILDING, and another who is trying to get fired (through she doesn't seem to know she is trying) by doing custom photo work on the clock during business hours for herself and family and ignoring customers, and 9 times out of ten stealing the photos she prints rather than paying for them.
All and all this makes me a frustrated lab rat this week as I am doing the paper work for the lab and the girl who is hoping to transfer is doing the orders for chemicals and supplies.
So, I am alone in the lab, trying to print a few orders for the one hour service in-between customers at the counter, a roll takes less than a minute so I ask nicely to the customers if I can go and print a few frames and get back to them while they typically find their claim tickets and get their money together.
I have a line of 4 to five folks, all have been really understanding. I ask the lady at the counter her information so I can try and find her prints, name, service used, day sent out, because understandably she lost the ticket in the few days since she dropped her film off, that sort of thing when a SC SHOVES this tiny little nurse out of his way in the middle of her answers and SCREAMS at me "What the F*ck do I have to do to get a God Damn camera"
Now, he has not been in the area shopping, he just walked in from the front doors, and whatever baggage he is carrying is not my fault and CERTAINLY not the fault of the woman who was just trying to pick up her film.
I walk over to the lady and make sure she is okay then turn to the guy and say,"wait in line like a human being, like all these other nice folks have done for the past 10 minutes and then I will TRY and help you."
I walk away get the lady's film and come back and charge her, collect payment, walk back to my machine and print a roll really fast, return to the counter and say next, ignoring the big huffing mass of anger standing at the counter. I go through my spiel and get the next lady, then the next guy, and for those counting I still have 1-2 customers left.
the SC screams "I am not f*cking waiting help me NOW"
I turn and say no.
go back to helping the man who waited in line.
he stalks off to the dept. next to mine and grabs T who works in the gaming area. I hear the works C*nt and B*tch and whore, tossed around as he shows T the ad for the camera he wants. T calmingly helps him by telling him we don't carry the camera and since I would be the one he would need to talk to about finding it at another location, he never will.
The SC son walked up and said he was sorry his dad was such an a**hole to me.
The manager of the day said not to worry, they can always pull the tapes, just make a note of when the guy was in and what he looked like.
there was more but that was the most dramatic.
