official retail/customer service horror stories and ranting

[Motife43]

Hands down...its mainly white people. And we arent justn saying that as an excuse to hate whitey but its true. Especially older white men when they see your black.

White people. Jesus. bytch, i hate that.

Aite, so I ain't off with that observation. I was in the middle of nowhere Indiana, and the cashier was actually white too lol

bytches that feel like it's okay to try on 800 pairs of the same pants but only end up taking 1 pair out of the dress room and throwing that same pair somewhere random.....
I hate asking people if they want to sign up for our credit card.
i hate "adding on" to the outfit so they can spend more.

Female customers seem to think that the market is a circus for their entertainment and seem to forget its our jobs. They come from their day jobs where they deal with bullshyt and instead of saying I will be on guard to make sure im on my best behavior they instead act like a fat boy at a a Chocolate factory. What kind of retarded shyt is "I like to use my card at the end so I can see the ptices come down...it makes me feel like im on a game show or I won the lotto"? ive lost track hpw many times I heard this ..annoying as fukk and they look to u to laugh in your reaction.


Its up there with "dont worry I made it this morning" when you check a 50 or 100 dollar bill to see if its real... good one sir I never heard that before

Or the "if it doesnt scan 3 times its free"

Or " are you looking for me" " you look bored...let me give u work" "looking for work?" Bullshyt when your line is empty as if you dont work hard at your job.

Let me go to your office job or wheere you are an assistant nurse and say some shyt like that as a young man and have people give me dirty looks..

I rarely work the register to have enough research on race and putting cash on counter. I've seen people from all background do it. It's very diverse here. But usually they just put the bills down then go back to look for coins. By then I'll have the cash picked up and they hand me the coins. If it's straight bill then I'll put my hand out to make the transaction quicker or take the cash as I'm ringing the item up. I also get the, I just made that bill myself line. Hit them with the, yeah we just made these bills we giving you for change too.

I find it how different customers behave in different locations. Like you can spot where customers usually shop at based on their attitudes. When I worked at a department store at a mall on the north side of town, I dealt with so much shyt from rude customers. From starting shyt for no reason, to trying to find ANYTHING to get over on you. Whether its an extra discount on something that's already marked down more than 75% off on sale, to starting a scene on the salesfloor in order to get their way.

I love my new gig Downtown but every once in a while , I come across those same folks I used to deal with on a regular basis . I'll literally guess in my mind sometimes where they're from and sure enough, they are. Based on their receipts

Breh some of these customers need to get a life. Did you read that thread in TLR about that lady who has not had sex with her husband in 3 years? I bet there are alot of types like that. They spend more time in the market than with their spouses.

Its funny they dont have the same angry passion about coupons and discounts that they do about tutoring their children early on so high school and college is not difficult for them.

I said this in the official customer service thread on the1st page of TLR many times....it absolutely amazes me how people half your age act like your nephew or neice. Like bytch...you 33 years older than me...are you not embarassed by how you act? And alot of them seem like they are gonna bust a nut when they say some dumb shyt like this is like a game show to them. Yeah giving workers a million things to return for you daily and not being polite is liberating huh?

The most hilarious thing is when they say "im not gonna get this" and if its something cold like ice cream or cold juice...they get suprised when you walk some fert up front to put it back in the fridge

Like I have lost track how many times I see through my peripheral vision these womeb have a shocked look on their face as if they expected me to be one of those pushover cashiers who just leaves under my register a mess . They seem to think they are the only person returning stuff and dont rationalize people do it all day...and look at how small your space undereath is...thinking its some magical closet that goes to the Land of Narnia



Bytch you realky expected me to stop for your follow up question or price check after you gave me a big ass pack of toilet paper/papertowels...or a gallon of milk? You better wait a minute for me to return the shyt. Generally I only keep small things like a notebook or something....

Anyone who works in this field will tell you they constantly do shyt like leave ice cream or frozen meat around...alot of times right in front of your face.

Btw today is paycheck day ...but its also the day for the new sales....im sure ill have a story when I come baack after 4...since u cant go a day without having someone annoy you...especially a cac

Till I got fired recently I used to work in the video department of this shady ass second hand electronics n media chain CEX. Anyway, they price things weird due to supply and demand so sometimes really old or basura stuff is weirdly expensive. So I'm behind the till and this swivel eyed dude in an anorak comes to buy a DVD of "white chicks", I've never seen it but for some reason its priced £7 (apprx. 10 bucks)

Me to my supervisor: why is this second hand copy of White Chicks so expensive

Distracted supervisor: I dunno, maybe because Brittany Murphy died


Me: I didn't know Brittany Murphy was in this



Crazy eyes points to box: Which one's Brittany Murphy






















Me: Sir... Those are the Wayans brothers


Everyone in earshot:

 

[CASHAPP]

just share stories and vent


i got this little part time retail gig now while i while im getting my business off the ground......its a nightmare....i dread waking getting out of bed....and i though my old job was bad


thread was inspired by Black Reign btw

we need this to blow off steam

.

I know this was made for alot of us to vent through an outlet...but I am seething right now...day was going ok until this female my age gave that "u dont look happy" shyt that fukked my day up and made me thinof smacking her...

Basically she came on line with only about 7 or 8 things...and they were small items...

When im done with the lady in front she is telling me something about if I could give her cashback...but to separate each time(I guess causs she needs alot of $ and the limit to get is $50).

Anyway u know how you can listen to people and you have a stern look...that just meand your listening intently?

Well right after I say okay...this bytch says with a straight face while im doing the first transaction something about why do I looks so mad...your scaring me...you were making me scared to ask you(paraphrasing).

So the1st order is done and throughout the 2nd through 4th order . She asks me If I have been having a rough long day... to cut the story short basically at the end she did thank me and something how she hopes I have a better day....

The sheer bluntness of how she acted made me wonder if she was a secret shopper...

That or she just one of those annoying ass females who love asking the "why are u unhappy" shyt...I think it was in your other thread about sambos.. where someone mentioned generally speaking grown ass Brothers dont be telling nonsense like that to young men like us...

I guarantee this broad would have not said that to a a white male cashier...

But yeah I was pissed because after I say okay about helping you out with the multiple cashbacks( smart idea because most people dont try what she did when they see the limit is 50)...5 seconds later...u say somethIng as blunt as why are you so mad you are scaring me?

At least with the misguided religious or Jehovas witnesses if they say it to u it will be in a serene way where they TRY not to be disrespectful...

but man I wanted to smack this bytch...

The day after I told you about that funny story of the stuck up white women I overcharged on her bill...I have this happen to me...

@Black Reign breh, it doesn't sound like customer service is your forte.


You maybe thought of a back of house job like dish washing/catering type stuff?
It still sucks but if you're in college it's money, and your blood pressure gets to stay healthy

Breh...this may sound strange but for now I wanna stick it out because this is a HUGE learning experience to me...I know this sounds like a battered women type of shyt...but I cant put it into words..

I think I got to die before i go to heaven....

Like I told the OP im sure when shyt like that happens...subconsciously the women jist want a power trip.. and when they see skinny ass Black Reign seeming quiet....they jump.

I want to be around to witness how these fake people treat you different down the line when you better yourself physically and emotionally...

 

[SlowPaceThrillah]

@Black Reign Fair enuff, I'd take retail over catering because catering is str8 drudge work and I've got a high tolerance for fukkery.

That said you shouldn't need to do a job you hate to realise most of the general public will act like dikkheads if there's no consequences

i just quit my fill-in part time job at walgreens. since i already have a full time job i just wanted gas money, but these customers have u day dreaming about stabbing they ass

i had women who would come back and tell me they was overcharge 10 cents on a purchase talking about i need every last of my pennies

then u have nikkas wanting to steal by acting like they are on the phone talking to someone

then u have those fat black chicks with those big ass purses trying to steal pregnancy test and other shyt

u have black kids who can't buy a pack of gum or soda but they have $300 worth of tennis shoes in a bag they just bought

u have the white kids trying to steal cough medicine just to get high

i'm so glad i'm done with that shyt
