retail workers rant page anybody else on here ever work retail? i swear, some people are just f'ing morons. aside from asking the ultimate dummy question "do you work here" (oblivious to the name badge, me standing on a ladder holding a telxon gun)...
i swear people leave their brains at home when they go out to shop. anybody else have these problems? you look better on your facebook page than you do in person | |

ooo i suck at retail. i tried it while i was in school but apparently i am lacking the degree of tact necessary to make a good salesperson. | |

i hate it when people who were supposedly taught some manners just act ignorant when they come out and shop. you know...just leave piles of stuff in the middle of the floor...open packages to see if it's their size, and then buy the next one still in the package... you look better on your facebook page than you do in person | |

thank god, i'm only going to have to work retail for a few more weeks.
the most annoying things: 1) if you're buying something w/o a price tag on it, DO NOT chortle "It must be free then!" at me. i'm already grumpy that i have to run off & find another item for you, so don't make it worse. 2) if you/your brat spills soda or whatever all over the carpet, DO NOT fucking walk off without so much as an apology and leave me to clean it up. it's extra annoying when you're looking at clothes about a rack away while i'm scrubbing the floor. | |

I don't even play this crap anymore, I stay completely serious, "was there a sign? I could call the department and have them check if there was a 'free if not labled sign'". When they then explaine they were kiding I still play stupid and make them explaine why it was funny. Hopefully they won't do it again :OjitheFanKeybumpersticker: | |

i hate when people say really retarded things like:
"you should smile"--do THEY smile at work all day? "you know what i'm looking for?.."--duh, no. "i pay your salary"--uhmm...no. my company mad 12 billion dollars last year...your $32.25 purchase ain't gonna put me in the next tax bracket, hon. you look better on your facebook page than you do in person | |

My last day in retail, I told a consumer "why don't you go fuck yourself"
she said, let me talk to the manager, to which I replied..... "that would be me honey" | |

"that would be me honey" i always love when they tell you that they're gonna get you fired. one lady told me that and i told her that she'd be looking over her shoulder every day in the rest of her life if that happened. you look better on your facebook page than you do in person | |

LOL, it was so liberating. For some reason, most consumers believe they can treat you like dog shit just because they are paying for your product. HELLO You still need to abide by the rules of common decency. | |

I hate when people pick up an item for a second, look at it, and then put back on the wrong shelf. | |

Yes!! There are definitely some thingz dat really annoy me. Like when a customer decidez 2 buy something then 5 minutez later decidez they want an exchange! Usually when i have abourt 10 other customerz 2 serve and noone else is on da floor!!! AND THEN da freaking phone ringz...and then da customer who wantz an exchange ALSO wantz you 2 wrap for them!! How many freaking handz do i look like i have for gawdz sake.
Also customerz (usually touristz) who POINT i want THAT. WHAT? WHAT do you WANT? WHAT is it CALLED? AM i Merlin da magician, am i suppose 2 read your mind? Also smartarse customerz who fink they know more than you. Like perfume 'oh i'll put it on my skin NOT the card- because itz supposed 2 change on your skin.' Uh hello,i'm trained in this shit, I already KNOW that. Why are YOU telling me this.(ass hole). No hablo espanol,no!
Pero hablo ingles..ssii muy muy bien... "Come into my world..." Missy Quote of da Month: "yeah, sure, that's cool...wait WHAT?! " | |
