  • Psych-O's: The Breakfast of EVERYONE!!!

    Today in <warehouse store>, we were busy. I mean really busy. I personally sold over $3000 in merchandise. From open to close, we were packed. People were everywhere, wanting TV's.
    And desktops.
    And laptops.
    And printers.
    And sound bars.
    Etc.
    Anyway, in addition to people being everywhere, most were downright rude. I ask if they need help, as is necessary and they would look pointed at me and walk off. Others would just scream "TABLE!!!" like I'm a vending machine that out merchandise. Most of those got upset when I directed them out of my department. As I can't leave my section, I could only give instructions where to find it or call another worker to meet them.

    I even had two customers get into an argument in my section. That was fun. I was worried I'd need to get a manager involved (the surly one was on a forklift and the other was in the back trying to help direct inventory). Thankfully, the argument ended and I didn't see either combatant again.

    I also had to set up three displays of TV's today so most of this was going on when the parts were all over the damn aisle because I was told it would be "quick and easy." That would have been true except every five seconds, I got another customer screeching about 70" TVs or the 50 gallon drum of pickles or something.

    Oh, and I was the only representative in my department for most of the day. Glee.

    By the end of the day, I was singing "Days like these are made for Kavorkian..." to the tune of the old Taster's Choice jingle to a coworker. He didn't get it.

    *Sigh*
    I have a...thing. Wanna see it?

        Somebody should let that farmer know, so he can unload the truck next time.

            Hehe, it's been forever since I watched Ill Will Press

            I honestly think the company I'm with fuels the whole "you have more in the back" mentality. We keep stock in the rafters and some we hold in receiving in the back of the store. It gets annoying when I tell people that we don't have something and they immediately bring up an anecdote about how they proved one of us wrong before.

              ... We keep stock in the rafters...
              Like a local store? "Two pharmacy employees were injured Monday after a suspended ceiling fell on them."

              They were storing stuff up there.

                "Rafters" is the wrong word. More like giant shelves. Some get as high as the rafters, though.

                I really, REALLY hope those employees get a fat check AND medical expenses paid. That's insane.

                  I love you for this. It's always a pleasure to find another of Foamy's fans minions! Pilz-ee always makes me laugh, too! (ETA: I missed panda and Nurian's posts! More Foamy minions! Yay! Haha!)

                  As for the OP...gods, I hate it when you get assigned to do something, and can't do it because customers keep interrupting. It's one of the most annoying things ever! I feel your pain. Really, I do!
