    Yes we are closed(sandy)

    On Monday my store closed at 3 pm. A few of SCs from that.

    2pm we put signs up and had people posted at the door telling people we will be closed at 3 due to the weather.

    About 230pm I was working at Customer service desk. I answered the phone
    Me-opening
    SC-What Do you mean you are closing.
    Me-Sir due to weather we are closing at 3. So everyone can be home,
    SC-WELL WELL WELL that is bad bad bad
    Me-sorry sir
    SC FUCK YOU and your bad customer service
    Me-click

    About 10 mins later
    People Greeter(PG)- Mam just so you know we will be closing at 3
    SC-We will see about that. I will leave when I am good and ready.

    Right at 3pm
    Me-(as I was closing the door) Sorry guys we are closing due to the weather
    SCW(woman)- BUT BUT store never closes. We need to get shit
    SCM(man)-This is bullshit
    Me-Sorry we are closed
    SCM-This place sucks. since when do they close.
    SCW-Yea we all know "store" doesn't care about the workers.
    SCM-or customers now.
    ME- Try and stay safe .

    As I was standing out side waiting for my friend do give her a ride
    SC-(pulls up) You bitch you be open
    Me-No we closed
    SC-FUCK YOU

    Ah, nothing like a fucking natural DISASTER to bring out the best in people.

    "I hope you stay safe!" (The best way to do that is to walk around with an open parachute on!)
    If only we were empowered to tell them off...

      These are people who will be more worried about their cart full of crap when a fire drill is taking place. I swear it, in any other species on Earth they'd be dead.

        It figures.

        I suppose there will be people in the worst-hit areas complaining because their power's not back on yet, too.

          And then people wonder why Christie refuses to send first-responders to people such as this (I bet they're just the types!) who refuse to move when there is a storm.

            So when did she finally leave? Bet she bitched "you didn't have X, Y or Z!!!" stuff that would have sold out first. Next time don't go for essentials the last min.
            Time! Time! Time is what turns kittens into cats.

            Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.

              That's not BAD custy service, it's EXCELLENT custy service -- after all, you warned this twit that your store would be closing...

                It's excellent customer service: gives the customers plenty of time to get home or to an evacuation centre before the storm hits.

                It also - quite incidentally, I'm sure - gives staff time to do so.
                Seshat's self-help guide:
                1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
                2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
                3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
                4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

                  A similar thing happened at a convenience store I use to work at. A customer told the policeman standing by "You make them open back up!"
                  "But I'm the one who told them to close! There isn't suppose to be anyone out on the streets!"

                    Well that's an ironic statement... coming from someone who's trying to put her shopping above worker welfare.

                    seriously some people are just dumb.

                        Well, yeah. Otherwise, there would be little need for us to come to a site like this and vent. Can you imagine what a wasteland this place would be without dum@$$es on parade?

                        As for disregard of worker welfare: We've had plenty of stories around here about SC's who honestly do seem to think that either (a) we're not human, and/or (b) our lives/health are less important than whatever product they're jonesing for at the moment.

                            Well, in this case, it really does. Each minute spent dealing with an SC is one less minute you can spend with your own preparations or evacuations.
