. I've got so many stories on how dumb people are and i sometimes getscared for the human race at how many dumb fuc** there are out there.

I like being in the store and watch a customer asks an employee a dumb question. I usually laugh and the employees looks at me like "Can you get thisidiot away from me please?"

Toys R Us also sells bikes. Pretty cheap too I might add. The most expensive bike I recall seeing was about $150. Well every bike has a price tag on it withtwo prices on it. The big (font size and amount wise) price was the already assembled bike (which was on display), and the smaller price ($15 less), which wasin a smaller font was the price of the bike in a box. Of course people always asked for that price. I would have to check to see if it was in stock. It wouldoften be the case that we did not have the boxed bike in stock. A lot of times people would hit us with "can you take it apart in put it in a box forme?"

OMFG I hate people who always ask for a damn discount!/hook up!

Customer: So if I buy these glasses with cash do I get a discount?
Me: HELL NO.

Or

Customer: These are $189.95, what's the lowest you can do?
Me: $189.95...

Or

Cop: Hey I heard cops get a special discount
Me: You must be joking...

Just @%% I can't haggle with you.

 

[sorkoram]

Mannnnn I could go in for days on this topic


- People lining up at the gate deep for the store to open and bum rush the cashiers

- Pissed off people that want the shirt off the floor display
- Parents bringing they little bad **$ kids, thinking its cool to swing off mirrors and clothing stands, while running around the store

People not being able to read the return policies or not bothering to read them

I was having a talk with my professor the other day and most are encouraging people to stay in school right now.

Retail does have its advantages though

I think "nervousness" can be held accountable for the majority of "common sense" questions that are asked in retail stores

 

[lars metcalf]

My first job was working at Footaction. It was my only experience in retail and I do not miss it.

If I only had a dollar for every time I was asked if I worked there. There I am, hovering behind customers and watching them pick up shoes, with my uniformshirt and a pair of neck-breaking kicks on, and at least half the time a customer would turn around, look all over the store when I'm standing right there,and then finally look at me and ask, "Do you work here?" It drove me nuts at the time, but now it makes me laugh.....and shake my head.

Whenever I'm out at a retail store, I try to be as pleasant to work with as possible, because I've been there and I know how infuriating some peoplecan be for you guys.

 

[curious24]

try working at cvs or in a pharmacy for $8.15 then get back to me

 

[air max 87]

Customer is not always right, sorry, people are stupid and have no common sense, if I have a @!*@ uniform on, of course I work here. The best are the customersthat walk in, you ask them if they need help politely, they give you attitude, then 2 SECONDS later wanna give you attitude for not helpin them like +%@!?!?

STUUPIDDDDD MFERRR, SHOES ALL HAVE DIFFERENT SIZES

I don't get it, couldn't you just have used that meter that all shoe stores have and make an educated estimate based on the trace?

Hmm...all shoes have the size tags somewhere on or in the shoe.

Man I work at a golf course and I was working inside at a wedding one day and I was standing behind the bar, and dude walks up to me like "Is this thebar?"

It's a counter with shelves of booze and glasses behind it, $+$ do you think it is?

My other job is working beer cart and whenever people pay w credit card we have to get them to write their phone number on the slip because we don't havemachines on the cart obviously so we ring them in later and gotta be able to contact them if the payment bounces. The conversation usually goes like this

Me: Hey can I please get your number on the slip while you're signing it? Company policy
Him: Ahhh so you want my number eh? (usually accompanied by him leaning up against the wall with an arm on either side of me)
Me:

Dbags think they can hit on you just because you work there. Dudes got so persistent I started wearing a ring on my wedding finger just so they'd f off
