4. I've dropped plenty of laptops on the floor and act like nothing happen.
5. I expect any Asian customer that walks in, will never buy any kind of warranty. I Even made a bet with my co-workers if they can sell a warranty to any Asian customer i'll give them $20 its been 2 months no one hasn't won yet.
6. When someone ask me for a discount, I repeat what they say in a louder tone. Every one looks at the guy. Making him look like a cheap bastard.
7. I look at your shoes to see you got money.
8. I'm honest when i want to be honest, i lie when i want to lie.
9. Best Buy doesn't care about customer service, they only care about they can get to your money so they can capitalize and profit.

Overnight Stock @ Safeway:
Not all Safeways are 24/7 and I understand you didn't know that BUT PLEASE after I say that we are closed, DO NOT BEG ME to come in the store to buy 1 item, use the bathroom or use the ATM. Unless you can guarantee that you will personally get me a new job and not rob me that door will not OPEN.
If you come into the store when it first opens (5am), Do not pay with a $100 bill if you just bought $20 worth of groceries. We just opened and the register doesn't have enough cash.
WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THE SAFE IS OR THE COMBINATION!!!

Don't be afraid to ask me where something is. More than likely, I will walk you to it and probably tell you which one is better.
Fresh Bread usually comes in on Tuesdays and Thursday around 6am-9am
If you want to come pass me, Just say excuse me and I'll glad step back or around. Sometimes I do not notice you. (I've been hit by an old lady with a cart before. She tried to squeeze thru a little space)
Please check the dates on your milk. The Afternoon and Evening Clerks are super lazy and will just throw anything up
If you pick something up and change your mind, please try to put back as close to where you found it. (I've found a bag of fresh potatoes in the freeze more than once)
If you see a price tag up on the shelf and the register rings up differently, tell the cashier the tag said different, go get said tag, show him and he HAS to ring it up at that price.
The freezers are extra cold, don't make me search for your favorite ice cream in the back when it isn't on the shelf.
If its not on the shelf, more than likely its not in the back but it might be on the sky shelf.
No the soda machine doesn't work, buyer beware.
Sales usually last a week. Starting Wednesday and end the following Tuesday.
If something you want in the store isn't there, go to Customer Service, ask can they order said item...AND WE WILL ACTUALLY TRY TO!
Stop stealing. You think it doesn't hurt us but it does. They cut back our hours when it we really start losing profits and after while they will close the store.
they put me on night crew too and manager expected me to get 2 1/2 aisles done and check. from 12am - 2am a lot of people come in buying random crap and liquor and the mad rush at 1:55. sucks even worse since i had to come up and for every single customer til someone came in at 4am. needless to say, i was off it after a month
and if you don't know where the safe is. it's at the booth.
and i agree with you that all they need to say is "excuse me" and i'll move out the way. i got people reaching over and around me and all they really need is to say two words. what's even worse is when i'm stacking something and they grab it right out of my hands acting like my hands are part of the shelf.

Remember in Superbad how the cops turned the sirens on just to run those red lights? Yup, I do that every day. Matter of fact, it was 9:50 last night and the closest McDonalds was exactly 10 minutes away and it just so happened to close at 10:00. Better believe I turned on those sirens and ran every light just to get my Milkshake.
99% of the time, If a cop pulls you over for speeding or any other type of traffic violation and you give us a sob story, we will let you off the hook. Throw in some tears just for good measure though.
No matter what you heard, there is no quota that a police officer need's to reach at the end of the month. I know Officers in my station that haven't given a ticket out in 5 years.
Gamestop - You dont ever have to reserve any game. We ALWAYS get way more then the actual pre-ordered amount.

I saw no use in using the hotel's valet service as that was an extra $20 plus the tip AND the parking lot was literally 50ft from the hotel entrance. I only had ONE small suitcase that ole dude at the front wanted to carry up to the room and I was like "Nah I'm good homie, I got it." I mean I don't know how to respond to all this extra service, I always feel like I can just do it myself. I don't need no nother man tryna open my car door for me soon as I pull up to the hotel.Originally Posted by rafsjaysI have the same problem with bathroom men at the club.
Help me gain a better understanding of tipping at luxury hotels. Should I just LET everybody do their job just for the sake of tipping? I'll gladly tip but I just feel like letting the bellman carry up a 5 pound rolling suitcase to the room is LAZY. AND letting him do it just for the sake of tipping him is kinda crazy. Ya'll school me on this so I don't look like the cheapo the next time I stay somewhere nice. Should I just budget tips into the stay next time?
- Preciate it.
-Stop aiming at the range cart when I'm picking the range, you're wasting your money and it scares the living daylights out of me.
Dude I swear I buzzed the range cart with a LASER beam one day... dude ducked down and it went over the cart by about a foot.
Only really did it once

But in your situation a polite no thank you is fine.
If a bellmen does help you with your bags $2 per bag is a decent tip. If you have more than 5 bags $10 is enough unless you have a ridiculous amount of stuff.
I would say my average tip is anywhere from $5-10.
For a valet its not necessary to tip them when they park the car (most people dont). But its always nice because the person who is parking your car is probably not the same person who will pull your car out. My average tips as a valet were $3-5.
No tips is not the only means of income for employees, but it is a gesture of appreciation for good service. If the service is bad, dont tip. If I screw up, I am not expecting a tip and will probably even refuse one if offered. So, no tipping is not mandatory, but if you tip well, they will make sure that you are well taken care of. A few bucks can go along way.
Just last night I checked in a couple on their anniversary, they were very nice and tipped well, so I decided to take care of them. I brought them up a tray of chocolate covered strawberries on me (normally $40).
Also for those of you who stay at Ritz Carltons. Each and every single Ritz Carlton employee is empowered to spend up to $2000 per guest to make sure that their stay is absolutely perfect.
Again, tipping goes a long way.
