In the middle of an extra fscking busy Monday, cashier J up and quit and left me in the lurch. I don't know if it was SM's doing by not scheduling him enough or Manager A driving him over the edge finally by denying diabetic him his lunch at the time he wanted (yet I'm allowed to go at whatever time I want, which is utterly NOT FAIR), but he up and quit. 
The entire day annoyed me, I had some annoying customers but not quite as annoying as this guy.
Fun fact: At my Aid of Rite, we don't have a bike rack. However, customers are allowed to park their bikes in the lobby and inform us of the bike being parked there so we can keep an eye on it; or walk the bike through the aisles with them. Either way, not a problem. However, most people have enough common sense to not park their bike ON the lobby's sales flyer rack.
You guessed it-as a customer is going by, TOPPLE CRASH PAPERS EVERYWHERE. Bike caught her in the heel and she glared at me like I was personally responsible for that bike. I'm off duty for the night, but in the aftermath of J quitting and the rush, I figured I can put the rack upright and fix it. I didn't pick up the bike, I kicked it aside and cursed whoever owned it to many firey deaths. :P
Guy comes rushing by and I tell him, "Please don't park your bike there".
HE LOST IT. "WELL YOU DON'T HAVE INSURANCE IT'S $400 A MONTH AND YOU'RE TOO CHEAP FOR A BIKE RACK AND IF IT GETS STOLEN IN 7 SECONDS ALL YOU'RE GONNA DO IS APOLOGIZE AND YOU ALL SUCK AND I HATE THIS AND I WILL PARK MY BIKE WHERE YOU WANT AND RAGE RAGE RAGE".
I wanted to tell him that he was an idiot, but I didn't because I got written up for the last time I snapped at a customer, even off duty.
Bonus: More "Healthiness +" Suck.
Reason # 16 why I hate the "Healthiness+" card: How on earth do you explain the concept of the card to someone who doesn't speak your language? Better, how do you explain the concept of the coupon rewards that print out after you buy the item at the regular price so you can get the next item for the sale price to someone who doesn't speak your language?
It took me 15 minutes during one of the afternoon rushes to try to explain it to an Eastern European lady that she needs a card to get the sale price of "Smivea" lip balm and she won't get the sale until she buys the "Smivea" at the sale price and then buys another one and then uses that coupon reward to get the final price. She didn't get it, even after I tried tapping the brochure and circling the price and trying to say, "This is 'Healthiness+', that is for 'Healthiness+', you need this card." Finally she said, "Ok, I get family help." I never saw her for the rest of the shift.
Not a suck on her part, but more frustration for me.
