  • The SC who had trouble sucking

    SC came into the store saying the vacuum didn't work. My co-worker gave her a $1 coin and said to try another vacuum. SC went out to the vacuums and came back claiming the other one doesn't work. So I took a couple of $1 coins and went out to take a look...

    Me: "Which vacuum did you have the problem with?"
    SC: "I don't care, just one that works!"
    Me: (trying again) "Which vacuums aren't working?"
    SC: "I don't care! Just make one work!"
    Me: "Which ones did you have trouble with?"
    SC: "I don't care! Are you going to help me or not?"
    Me: "I can't fix the problem if I don't know which one isn't working."
    SC: "I don't care about that! Fix the vacuums!"
    Me: "Which one is broken?"
    SC: "I don't care!"

    Repeat with variations until I get the SC to finally choose a vacuum. I put a coin in, press start, and she picks up the hose on the vacuum next to it and says "See! It doesn't work!"

    As tactfully as I could, I picked up the correct hose and handed it to her. She handed it back and refused to believe it was working until I used it to pick up a chocolate bar wrapper that was on the ground.

                At first I was sure she was scamming you out of the coins.

                ...but I see now that would have required more brain-power than she has.

                    I would have just said "I can't help you" and turned it over to a manager. I won't waste my time like that anymore.

                      Well, at least now we know why she was so frustrated by the question of "which vacuum isn't working". She'd have to be using one properly to find out.

                              Unfortunately there was no manager available.
