Generally stupid things customers do ... add you own

[Anakah]

I also hate it when they insist on talking on the phone or to their friends while I am trying to count them out. I'll give them like 5 secs to shut up before I'll count reguardless if they are watching or not.

One lady was looking right at the money and when I finished she was like: "Oh, I wasn't paying attention can you count it again?" GRRR. NOOO. Count your own damn money! --- I counted it again... lol

What is the worry with addresses? You can find out anything about anyone on the web or in the freaking phone book!

Maybe I'm just getting old and bitter people seem to seriously have their priorities screwed up. Instant gratification is not a frikken guarentee.

This is great. That "The Customer is Always Right" BS has poisened everyone's mind. The customer CAN be wrong. I'd love to be able to call the bank and gripe until my student loans are erased but that just ain't so. And i see no difference between student loans, DVD players, hotel rooms or Tickle-Me Elmo.

People have to start taking responsibility for their own actions and quit blaming someone else when they screw up. That is the one thing that gets me the most.

I'm not sure which of these 2 people annoyed me more, but they are part of the same story......
The woman who came in yesterday with a feeding dish, and wanted to know if i had one the same (and this is only sucky cos she asked me the same thing on Saturday, and i spent ages with her showing her the types we did sell which were bigger than the one she had), or the man who butted in, talking over the top of me telling her any feed dish will fit on any cage (not true!) So she listened to him! (and me in the middle, commenting loudly that i was sure I worked here)

I love it when people are in a rush and tell me to hurry up, as their bus was just arriving as they came in (it makes me a little slower depending how nasty they are about it )

There was the woman who came up and wanted me to go and talk to her about budgies, waits till I start answering her questions, whips out her mobile (I HATE people answering their phones when I'm serving them) and she CALLS someone!!!
I walk off, as i don't want to be accused of ear-wigging, she finishes her sooo important call, comes to the desk and bawls at me for leaving her as I hadn't finished serving her!

The box shows you how big it is, and there's a picture on the side, but the customer just HAS to pull it out of the packaging, rip up the manual and discard it -- un-repacked -- before deciding he doesn't want it.

I hate when SC's go "Don't you know who I AM???"

I always want to say "No, should I?"

Or when they ask you "Do you work Here?"

No you idiot. I just have the uniform and nametag for fun!

Or when they let Little Pwecious make a huge mess in your dept. and you have to clean it up....

The list goes on!

[shoegirl]

One of my biggest pet peeves is the SC who's at the checkout counter and they're not done shopping!
I scan the order and give them their total just to be told, "Oh, my husband just went to get one more thing. He should be back any second." Yeah, right! Usually I try to suggest paying for the items they have now, and take any additional items to another register. But almost without fail their reply is the same. "But we only brought one check!" Whine, whine. (Hey, ever heard of a bank card?) And without fail, five minutes later here comes hubby, casually moseying down the aisle, face full of demos and no merchandise. UUUGHHH! The only thing you can do is loudly apologize to the next customer in line before the offending SCs are out of earshot. Maybe that'll make them feel like the inconsiderate jerks that they are!

Note: Prison ID is not an acceptable form of ID (neither are Graduated Drivers Licenses) for smokes or alcohol per corporation policy.

Not to mention per Arizona State Law as well, incidentally.

I hate when SC's go "Don't you know who I AM???"

One thing I have always wanted to do, but have never had the opportunity, is something I have heard of being done but never seen done. I live for this moment.

SC: “Do you know who I am?”
JESTER: “Do you know I am?”
SC: “Um, no…”
JESTER: “Good. Fuck off!”

OK, I live and work in North Dakota on the border of Minnesota. Hunting regulations are writen by the state. Thus what is legal in one state may not be legal in another. Now lets carry this further, if I am in North Dakota what makes people think that our store would sell Minnesota hunting licences? I get them all the time, mainly because we are the only retail place open after 9PM where I live that has a sporting goods section.

This would be like comming to our store at 11 AM on a Sunday and asking why the store is not open since stores are open in Minnesota. The laws of that state cease to be valid at the border with another state unless the two states agree to some form of reciprocity. Thus, any hunting licences are useless outside of that state. (You would be surprised at how many people think they can fish in ND with a MN Fishing licence.)

I really wish people would think about this stuff before they come to bug me and INSIST that I MUST sell them a Minnesota licence because their friend said we did. If you don't like my answer and go to management, they are going to give you a dumb look and tell you the exact same thing.

/Sorry, had to vent a bit.

I got past one group of people blocking the entrance. I said excuse me several times until they told me ot shut the fuck up and wait.

At that point I drew myself up to my full height and plowed through them.

[pbmods]

SC: "Do you work here?"
Me: *Looks suspiciously at my name tag and uniform. Shrugs and gets back to work.*

Never fails.

I HATE people blocking places people need to walk. I'm slim enough now that I can usually maneuver my way around with a series of yoga and tai chi moves. But I still have a problem in school, where some rooms and halls are simply too thin for a group of a clique to just be standing around.
I'm a senior in high school, this year. I'll admit, I can be a little mean and we all rag on the freshmen. One day, I was in the choir room practicing an audition piece in the morning. Some freshmen, who have freshmen choir first period, were gathered by the door. I went to leave and they were all blocking that little space there is between the chairs and some boxes (we're moving to a new high school after this week).
So I, being the least likely to put up with general stupidity, loudly proclaimed 'No, really!' and other such things as I almost rudely pushed passed the group. Seriously, I would do this to anyone, even a senior group. It makes me mad when they do it, but luckily in the new school, they can't.

Carts, carts, carts

Yes, no matter how many times it is said I still can't believe how many people won't go the extra "mile" and push their cart back into the stack instead of leaving it next to their car- or, as I saw yesterday, pushing it INTO someone else's car so she could back out.

[RailroadMonster]

Hahah... I throw freshmen out oft he way, too.

[powerboy]

What I do, when there are a group talking right by the entrance/exits, is say loudly, Wonder what would happen if there is a fire, and all there (insert bad words) in the way, we would all die.
