What's with today today?

So what was in the air today? I normally don't have much in the way of annoying customers but Damn! They must have been saving it all for today! (btw...I have one heck of a sinus cold right now so that didn't help either)

My day included:

- 4 people within an hour asking me to check a price but not before throwing in the "Oh! No price? So it's free? Hyuk! Hyuk!"
- 3 people that felt the need to stand toe-to-toe with me while asking me for something. One guy had a bonus with serious beer breathe...at 10am. Blech!
- One guy busted through the doors to the backroom (which are right next to my section) to tell me that he needed me to "fetch" him something. When i asked what he needed he replied, "Do you know how to do your job? My name is "DICKHEAD" Get me my stuff!"
- 6 people came up to me with "I have a question" and when I responded "Okay.." they just blanked expecting me to answer without knowing. I've never had that happen before and now SIX times in one day?
- One guy proclaimed that I looked bored (apparently bored = me running back and forth in my section hauling and stocking boxes of wine ) and slapped down a mini bottle of champagne and said "There! I fixed that for you! Now clean that up like a good girl!" Luckily my Supervisor was standing right there and and made him pay for it and escorted him out. I needed a break after that.

Thank *deity* that I only had to deal with customers for half my shift! Who knows if I had been working my normal one!

But, we mustn't dwell. No! Not today! Not on Rex Manning Day!

(hehe..couldn't help myself..)

So sick of the "It must be free!" thing...SO...SICK...

And that bottle-slapping guy-WTF?! What was his problem?! I'm glad your supervisor made him pay for it, but he should've made him clean it up too! What a jerk. I can't imagine what was going through his head, except maybe a breeze.

Where's the money, Lucas?
It's gone, Joe.
Where's the money gone?
Atlantic City...
What's it doing in Atlantic City?
Recirculating...

[One of my top 10 movies ever. Imagine a pizza place that crazy and you'll have my old shop.]

- One guy proclaimed that I looked bored (apparently bored = me running back and forth in my section hauling and stocking boxes of wine ) and slapped down a mini bottle of champagne and said "There! I fixed that for you! Now clean that up like a good girl!" Luckily my Supervisor was standing right there and and made him pay for it and escorted him out. I needed a break after that.

First he deliberately breaks merchandise, then he talks to you like you're a dog ("good girl"?!). I'm glad your Supervisor made him pay for it and kicked him to the curb. Maybe it'll teach the asshat a lesson about how to treat other people (whether he retains the lesson is another story).

Even better would be, as Clover suggested, to make the asshat clean it up. Then just as he's nearly finished, take another bottle and :crash: "Whoops! You missed a spot! Guess you have to do it all over again, like a good boy!" People like him deserve a taste of their own medicine.

Sorry you had such a craptacular day. I hope your next shift is better.

Sounds like the end of my day yesterday and part of my afternoon. I had an SC towards the end of my shift yesterday that thinks clearance prices are subject to being changed just for her. one of the managers almost through her out of the store at closing time after Easter. I waited for her to ask me how much one item and then I paged for a back up cashier and a telezon. I price checked her entire cart of candy and told her how much each item was before I even rang anything up. The customer did not complain this time and was not allowed to hold up other customers. This was my last customer yesterday.

Today is warehouse day at work. I am working in the regular candy aisle. I ask a customer if I can help her find anything. At first she says no that she is just looking around. I go back to stocking the shelves and this idiot decides to start following me around the aisle asking me for prices on things that have regular shelf tags with prices. I finally just told her that I needed to grab a hand scanner. I spent 20 minutes scanning crap that had prices tags.

I told our cashier what happened and also mentioned it to a manager in case she started arguing at the register over prices. That still happened and the manager told her that everything was ringing up correctly. She shut up and paid for all of her stuff. My boss was glad I warned him. I was working floor this afternoon instead of the register.

Not the whole couch!

Sorry you had such a crappy day but thanks for making me smile with your Empire reference!
