So, short story: apparently, bitch from hell decided to schedule me as a greeter this week (I imagine as a very thinly veiled attempt to punish me for trying to change my availability so I can't work Sunday or Thursday, and am available roughly 24 hours a week)... no biggie, how bad could it be?
...
Ooops...
Jabber Jabber Jabber Jaws!
Two ladies decided to stand in the middle of the entry room facing two opposite directions, just yammering away with their carts, blocking most of the flow of traffic.
"Katie had her baby..."
"Well, you know, I can't go back to school cause of my kids..."
Yap, yap, YAP!
Meanwhile, other customers are TRYING to get in and out of the store, and can they be bothered to move?
A-Dur?
I am ever so sad
Seriously, I set out one of both of the kinds of carts we have, just in front of our display of Proctor & Gamble sale items, and I swear, they hardly ever got moved. People would walk around to the stacks of carts and take them from there. Even with me pointing at the readied carts, they'd be ignored. I'm sorry, poor carts, no one loves you, apparently.
Managers, pay attention
Went on my break, and heard no less than four calls for Jeff and George (not their names)... and blurted to the room in general, "Jeff and George are outside, getting carts, like you f---ing told them to."
More cart madness
So, we have special carts that have televisions in them for the kiddies to ride in, to keep them entertained while mom or dad shops... two of them had problems that made it so their batteries wouldn't charge today, and I kept telling people this, but "No problem, they just want the cart..." Sure.
Not even a minute later, Mom or dad comes back to grab a different cart because, "They're whining about it."
Yeah, told you.
Another?
So many people brought back carts that were, quote, "Too squeaky", "Funky", or just "Not right"... none of which really tells me anything.
Finally!
I did notice a customer trying to bring a propane tank into the store to do an exchange and headed him off, saying he could just "Leave the tank out by the cage of tanks while he shopped."
"I'd always wondered..."
Charmander uses Confusion ray
J&C *simultaneously*: "Have a great day"
C: "Shop at *store* again..." as I try to figure out what the HELL made him think that was funny, or appropriate, or whatever. Dipshit.
You... habba... WHU?
Saw a customer leaving the store, chugging from one of our portable wine boxes... alone... and watch him go to his car, and then notice the cart collector is at the corral next to his car, so I talk to her when she comes back in.
J: "Did you notice the guy chugging wine?"
W: "Yeah, he started talking to me, too..."
J *blurting* : "Hey, baybeh, whassha wearin?"
W: *bursts out laughing* "Had he said that, I would've just walked away and come right back in."
