People who let you go through their entire transaction, hear the total you tell them, hand you their card so they can pay, and then afterward complain about the price of something they bought, then demand to return it. I mean, we can do it, but it's a PITA (more for the customer than it is for us) and a hassle that could have been easily avoided by people paying attention.

Being asked if I have (or had) to work on a Friday.....the library I work at has been closed on Fridays for several years, and there's no talk of this changing anytime soon.
Mostly this comes from family members, and while I don't expect them to have my work schedule memorized, I do have to remind them of this more often than I would like.Comment

Sounds like the sort of creep who leaves packages of bacon in the Kosher food section. Of course, in the "dry" Kosher aisle, that means EVERYTHING (including the bacon, because it has warmed up to an unsafe temperature before it's found) is ruined.Quoth retailsweetie View PostAny fool can piss on the floor.

When somebody at UPS slaps one of their little tracking labels on the box over the 128 barcode that I scan to check in its contents.
And peeling it off usually removes vital bits and pieces of the barcode, as well as the little numbers above it, which I can type into the scanner if the barcode is unreadable.
Then I have to get on the computer and look up the ASN for the box so I can get the correct numbers for check-in.Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Study hard. Be evil.

Don't know what that bar code is but when they slap it over the delivery confirmation code and we can't get it off to scan that it came into our office or that it got delivered. I usually will make sure to please let the sender know that they got the package because we couldn't do the scans. Makes us look downright laughable.Quoth Irving Patrick Freleigh View PostComment

Just replying to put in what is fast becoming a hatred for me. Scenario: I'm at work, most likely bored out of my mind. Sucktomer walks in.
SC: Workin' hard or hardly workin? Hyukhyukhyuk!
ME: *pointed look; I despise this question beyond any other*
which leads to...
SC: Smile! It's not that bad!
Don't tell me to fucking smile. No, it wasn't that bad, until you walked in. It's usually the ones that I can't stand that come in and do this shit, too. Oh, and don't tell me to smile because it's Friday, either, because I usually work every other weekend. No, don't tell me think of all the money I'll be making when I say that, either. You know what?

"Sorry you have to work today!" -- when said on a 'holiday.'
FUCK YOU AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON. If you were really "sorry," you wouldn't be out shopping on a holiday, because if people weren't shopping on those days, then the businesses wouldn't open, and the workers could have the day off too!PWNADE(TM) - Serve up a glass today! | PWNZER - An act of pwnage so awesome, it's like the victim got hit by a tank.

I'm so freaking tired of complete strangers calling me "Hon."
And customers who think their loan documents are going to be done instantaneously."I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon. "We are all star stuff." I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

I get called Honey all the time. I'd say half of it is people that tend to call females that and the rest are people that didn't quite catch my name and just registered that it started with an H and has an long E at the end. Either way it doesn't really bother me. In fact, back when I worked in fast food and had to wear a name tag*, it would bug the hell out of me when people would read my name tag and then act like they were somebody I knew.Quoth Ghel View Post
*if/when I was allowed, I would put my middle name (or my sister's name) on the tag, I'd still answer to the name automatically but would know the person was just reading off the tag and didn't actually know me.Comment

Ooh, the Comedian. Can't stand them. They have a repertoire of about ten or twelve jokes, all of which suck, all of which you've heard far too many times before. And of course, it's all your fault if you don't laugh uproariously at their oh-so-clever jokes, you "must not have a sense of humor".Quoth BrenDAnn View Post
I really want to tell the Comedian, "you need a new writer," but then he'd get butthurt and complain to the higher-ups...
Precisely. I never shop on holidays for that very reason. The company I work for is probably one of the last companies not open on Easter, Thanksgiving or Christmas and I hope they stay that way.Quoth Jay 2K Winger View PostI don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

More from self-scam:
--People who scan an item, then fling it frisbee-style so that it misses the sensors on the front belt. Don't yell at me when I have to come over, rescan the item and set it on the belt correctly.
--Keying in the PLU for one (cheap) produce item, and placing a (usually much more expensive) different item on the belt. Yes, I saw that. Do you really think the machine announcing "BANANAS" is going to override the fact that the item on the belt is vine tomatoes?
--Paying with a check when check payment is not an option. Just....why?"I am quite confident that I do exist."
