  • That's NOT where that goes!

    What the hell is it with customers at my store, pulling things out of their cart, they'll pull out an item or two they decide right then and there they don't want, and stick it on the fucking candy display? Hello? I'm standing right here in front of you. Say, "I don't want this" and hand it the fuck to ME! I have a return basket on the floor. Like the counter isn't small enough already?

    When shopping, I often find odd items that people decided not to buy, and then just left wherever.

    Last week, is was a box of 6 ice cream cones, left in the display with Lay's chips... I lifted to box to see if it was still frozen, but it was already completely melted, so I notified a person who worked there so they could clean it up.

    People are stupid. If you have to get rid of random stuff, at least give the frozen/refrigerated items to an employee or put it back! If you HAVE to leave items where they don't belong, please only to this to non-food stuff

      Whenever I pick up something, then decide I don't want it, I make a conscious effort to go put the item back in it's proper place. I can't stand it when people leave things like frozen dinners in the Pantine Pro-V section of the store. Besides, doing this just makes the lives of you folks in retail a bit easier. Then again, I'm not the average dumb shopper. I've been in retail before so I kind of feel for those who are in the position now.

        Wow, how'd I end up down here? This looks suspiciously like the gutter.

            SC's can't put things back where they belong ever. We have a card rack. SC's will remove a card, and put it above, below, left, or right, but they will not be able to put back the card back in the correct slot. They're not wandering around, they haven't moved 1 step away from the card rack. 1 SC equals 15 min. of fixing cards for me.

              We just got the christmas logs over here.
              Soon, we'll also get the ice cream logs.
              Soon, I'll have to mop up the mess some retarded douche left when he/she dumped an ice cream log into my normal logs.

              Also, when dumping a full LITER of ice cream on my pie table, why is it NEVER the cheap no name brand?

                Now that is just WRONG!!! (I <heart> Breyer's ice cream!)

                Juwl, I was in a craft store once with my mom and while we were waiting on line I collected a whole armload of stuff from the candy rack - everything from wood-filler pencils to frames to spray glue... When I gave it to the cashier and told her it was stuff that was left in the candy rack she looked somewhat shocked that I would do that.

                  You mean your job doesn't include serving as personal assistant and/or slave for every lazy SC you encounter?

                  I have to admit that this was a personal pet peeve of mine when I worked at a small video games store in a mall. Every single freaking day we would try and organize our titles by system and then alphabetically, both to make it easier for the customers to find what they were looking and to make returning items to the shelves easier for us.

                  Invariably we'd get numerous variations of the "Where's this - I looked ALL OVER and couldn't find it" question, as well as SCs (especially whiney, loud annoying children) returning stock to pretty much any place in the store except where it belonged.

                    I haven't given up on organising things yet. I will still rigorously order the kid's books according to author surname, series and book number, even though I know that within ten minutes of completing the task some mother will let her child loose on the store and reduce it to a pile of rubble.

                    It's a thankless task.

                    Lately, though, I have been finding that customers seem to think my shop is a great big rubbish bin, particularly Starbucks customers, what with the abundance of coffee cups, sweet wrappers and pastry crumbs I keep finding tucked away with the books and DVD's....

                        Reminds me of when I used to do the Travel section. I'd get it all nice and neat, organized alphabetically by city within each country and by the next day it looked like no had touched it for a month. At some point I gave up...as long as all the books belonged to the country/state that the shelf label said, I was happy.
