Customer: "I'm not being a bitch, I'm just saying that's Bullshit"
ME: "OK...So did you want the member card or not, because it doesn't matter at all to me."
Customer: Yeah that's fine.
ME:"I can't take a check for that high of an amount"
Cust: That's ridiculous that shouldn't be a problem!
ME: "Even if i could, there's no information on this check to actually confirm it being tied to your account. No name. No address. No routing#. NOTHING."
Cust: ๐ถ๐ถ
New guy is mad because he thought he'd be in the other department. Well, you're LATE every day and wanna leave EARLY every single day, Oh and won't work weekends or more than 20 hours..
That department already told me they don't want you either
New guy: "I forgot to punch back in from my break..so it looks like I was gone for an hour, but it was really 30 minutes"
"So the security camera and everyone else actually working would say the same thing right..?"
SPOILER: It Did NOT!
When you finally are getting some decent sleep and then you get a call from a coworker over some insignificant thing that can be dealt with any other day/or time.

*called in because of the stupid store alarm going off*
*sees a couple of cops crouched down waving their flashlights on the ground*
Me: "..did you find something?"
Cop: "Sorry that's just a really big beetle, we've never seen one that big before. The store looks good though!"
@15Means15 At my previous job, I walked in the breakroom where this random guy without a uniform was just eating a meaty sandwich. I walked out to ask a coworker wtf is happening. Apparently the baby daddy finally came to talk and decided to have lunch with his ex gf (my coworker).
I barely know newbie's gf and now he brings her up all the time
"Becca would probably like that"
"Becca would be sad that we're throwing that out"
"Becca would kill me if she knew we weren't recycling the plastic"
IDGAF ABOUT HER OPINION! DOES SHE OWN U? WILL SHE ACTUALLY KILL U?
@SWilliamBrown33 or when you get to be the opening AND closing manager on the last day of a sale and they have the audacity to go on and on about not getting enough sleep and asking to go home early.
#DearCustomer: When you have a reputation for being an asshole to retail employees bc you're angry about a returned order from years ago, dont be surprised if we don't bother being nice. Some of us tried & got an attitude from you anyway so we'll save the manners for someone else
@9_of_Swords i made the mistake of saying we'd go home early if they got everything done. Obviously that didn't happen/ was half-assed
"y'know how i said we could possibly leave early? that's because i assumed you guys were actually going to do what i asked"
u forgot to fill the paper towels
"i know i forgot"
u said the bathroom got cleaned but it's filthy
"i forgot"
u said u straightened the whole store, but u missed this aisle and nearly this whole half of the store.
"I know i forgot"
THEN FUCKING DO IT AND QUIT SAYING U R DONE
When you throw a random name like Linda around as the term for "a bitchy customer"..but now you hired somebody with that name so now it's just too awkward.
@MeganTriumphant They were probably trying to be "relateable" but new people should realize you need to ease your way into being able to make those jokes. otherwise you look stupid and or lazy..
Newbie: *brags about things they got away with at old job*
Me: oh really... is that anything i should worry about here haha
Newbie: *continues to dig themself a hole*
(later)*pages for a manager*
Me: *fixes problem*
Newbie: how did you get the manager codes?
Me: I'm a manager.
Manager:The secret shopper said the store seemed busy and there wasnโt a lot of help around.
Me:Do you ever leave this office and go on the sales floor?
