Actually, it is a big deal.

A couple days ago I am working in the back room, getting some cleaning and organization done when i notice the door from the sales floor opens. I take a quick look, only to see a SC standing in the back room about three feet from the door.

M: Sir! Sir! *idiot looks at me* You can't be in here. Please step out on to the sales floor and I will be glad to help you.
SC: No. It's not a big deal.
M: Sir you CAN NOT be back here. Walk out to the sales floor NOW!
SC: Fine! But I will tell the manger yow rude to me on the *does air quotes* sales floor!
M: That's fine. I will be sure to let them know what happened and they can watch the video to see you were in the back room.
SC: I swear every one of you jerks is some smart alleck with your rules and video every time I try to do something at you store! How the F**k am I supposed to know where I can and can't go!!??? *starts to stomp off*
M: *yells* see the employees only sign? *as SC walks out*

I tell the SM, who thanks me and says the will check out hte video. They do, see the moron and wait. The SC never complains.

He might as well tell the SM "Hey guess how much of an idiot I am? Not only can I not read signs, but I think that a stock room is an appropriate place for customers to go!"

I've had to chase a few SC's out of our stockroom. They walk right through a door bearing a huge "EMPLOYEES ONLY" sign, and yet seem to feel that, somehow, it doesn't mean that THEY can't come in. Grrrr. Of course, they all think they're sooooo special and qualify as an exception to the rule.

Once someone uses "air quotes", everything said afterwards looses all credibility with me

[JustaCashier]

Am I evil for having this desire to have had Management/LP take this guy to the Store Office, sit him down in front of a monitor reviewing the tape, scrutinizing his every move on the tape, and pounding him with questions as to his intentions, much as if he'd blasted through a TSA checkpoint at the airport?

I've had them try to follow me through the door that leads up the stairs to where our offices and break room are.

I've just had people try and walk through the parcel pickup area at my old store, thinking that it's an exit.

[PepperElf]

unless you look like this, air-quotes are unauthorized.

[MoonCat]

How the F**k am I supposed to know where I can and can't go!!???

Right, because retail stores always have extended sales floors separated by doors that read "employees only."

Why do I get the feeling that his parents had to lock their bedroom door when they wanted to get romantic, so junior wouldn't come waltzing in whenever he felt like it?

[MaseMan]

Yeah, like he wasn't just looking for something to steal. At least that would be my guess.

I worked for a company that had a metal green door separating the sales floor from the back room. Unfortunately, the company refused to put any sort of sign on the door marking it "employees only." Every once in a while people would open it up and and be found wandering around in our break or stock areas. I guess they thought the racks upon racks of cardboard boxed items were pretty exciting. Wanted to see what was "behind the green door" I guess.

Classic SC.

When politely called on something that might have been an accident becuase he might not have noticed the sign, he arrogantly tells you what's OK and what isn't OK in your store.

Then when you have to be more blunt, he claims you're rude and the rules weren't clear. Never mind that you politely explained the rule to him when you first talked to him. But somehow that doesn't count in his arrogant little pea brain because he's the customer(!). Nobody can tell him what to do.

When I worked at the country park, we often found people wandering around our breakroom. -.- When called on, they'd always say, "I'm looking for the loos!" The loos were downstairs, next to the stables and clearly marked and signposted but obviously it was too hard for them to find.

Our breakroom was up a flight of stairs and behind a door with "No unauthorised personell" and "Employees Only" on the door, along with a couple of hazard stickers that one of my co-workers appropriated from his father. Didn't stop people from going thru that door; we really needed a forcefield or something along those lines. XD
