Retail Rants and Ramblings~

This is my life~ I can be a snarky little woman, but that's beside the point. Most of my posts are rants about work.... Obviously. However, I will post random stuff at times too! Write me if you have a work story! There will be language, so please don't get offended because I curse.

All he could do was laugh because I apparently made a silly face when I realized I was caught!

EVENINGS...

So the boss man moved his office!  Anyways, here is the story:

I'm so used to opening the store, and all of a sudden, I'm put on closing shift almost every shift, not that I mind, mind you, but I'm just not used to it.  The mornings here are ridiculous! They are super busy and you hardly have time to breath.  Well the evenings here are almost the total opposite.  They don't give you anything to do up at the front, but they don't want you to leave the front to work on anything.  For the past four shifts in two weeks, I have been sitting at the front on the computer and playing spider solitaire!  I don't know what else to do!  I get so bored!  Someone save me!

Department Store

CA

(At my store, when putting items on hold we typically write the customer’s name on a bit of receipt tape and attach it to the clothing. Items are held for 24 hours.)

Customer: Hi, I put some clothes on hold yesterday? My name is [unusual name].

Me: Sure, I can get that...

dont EVER call ur date honey in front of bees, they do NOT understand the concept of nicknames and will viciously attack your girlfriend in hope of getting back what was taken from them

being an introvert is really hard because there is no polite way to tell someone that you’re in a bad mood because you’re exhausted from socializing.

I said “have a nice day!” to this old dude and apparently that’s not fucking good enough because he retrieved his wallet and from like a stack of 30 of these things pulled one out and gave it to me and said something like “I hope you reconsider your choices next time”

Feed and Seed Store

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Because we sell feed and seed which is stored in a back warehouse, we have a book full of codes to punch in so we don’t have to scan the large bags. It can be confusing at first for new employees to learn where in the book different things are.

Customer: I want a *name of feed*

I look through the book and quickly find what she asked for and proceed to punch it in.

Customer: You know, last time I was in the young guy behind the counter had no idea what he was doing.

I realized she was talking about a new guy who had started the previous week.

Me: Oh, really?

Customer: Ya, he was taking forever to find what I wanted in that book. I just left. It was ridiculous.

Me: Oh, that must have been our new guy. He just started the other day and is still getting to know the code book. There are so many codes that it can be confusing.

Customer: Well he should have known how to find my feed!

Me: Well, he’s still learning. I’m sure that after a few days he will be able to look things up no problem. It took me a while, too.

Customer: Well you should have been here with him to show him where it is.

Me: Honestly, 99% of the time there is someone here to help him learn. You must have just caught us at a bad time.

Customer: Well its bad service!

I had the same guy carry out her feed and load it into her car for her. I haven’t seen her since.
