My Life And Thoughts

[justasinglepanda]

A customer brought me coffee today. There’s still good people out there going out of their way to make the world a better place.

Had a lady come in today who wanted to know if she could get Facebook on her computer instead of it just being on her iPad

[justasinglepanda]

I’m standing close to the entrance at work with three other coworkers (2 males and 2 females in total) and an old man comes in and says

“Gentlemen, are these two women molesting you?”

Really? That’s how you’re going to start an interaction in 2019. Okie dokie.

My manager gets on my case because I don’t wear a name tag.

I don’t wear a name tag because customers find me on social media.

Today, a customer found me on social media within 5 minutes of leaving the store, even without my name tag, and messaged me.

I need to get out of retail...

This guy gets mad at me because I don’t remember his name from when I helped him a month ago.

He berated me for 5 minutes about how I’m bad at my job and I have poor customer service skills because I don’t remember him (let alone his name) from a month ago.

I remember customers either because they were amazing or because I hate them. He just made one of those lists.

[justasinglepanda]

Ah yes, let’s get mad at me for not knowing anything about this department when you DRAGGED me from MY department to help you while I’m telling you that I don’t know anything.

Could’ve just talked to one of the FIVE available associates in this department, but nooooo.

Let’s drag me from mine and get livid when I don’t know things.

That seems reasonable.

Dear customers,

Please don’t ask female employees if they’ve “been a good girl.”

This is considered sexually harassment.

I don’t get paid enough for that.

Sincerely,

Female employee who will stab you in the throat if you try to touch me again

[justasinglepanda]

I’m sorry sir, we don’t have the speaker that you wanted to buy last year.

Of course the rational response would be to yell at me. This makes sense.

We have the next generation of it, which lasts longer and has better, overall sound

But no, of course the better one isn’t good enough for you because it’s not exactly the same.

I’m sorry sir, you’re ridiculous.

So my store prides ourselves on our customer service.

We had a lady come in looking at some stuff, and one associate contacted her, and she said she was just looking. Then about 10 minutes later, another coworker double checks on her and she starts yelling at my coworker about how she “ain’t stealing” and we shouldn’t be profiling her.

After that, we told the rest of the associates not to contact her, so we go to our departments and do our jobs.

THEN she comes over and asks to speak to a store manager! She yelled at my manager for 20 MINUTES. All about how contacting customers drives people away and how we’re losing business.

Moral of the Story: if you don’t want helped by associates, shop at Walmart. Don’t go to a store where that’s literally the associate’s job.

Also, just don’t be a complete tool. It’s free to be nice to retail associates.

A customer told one of my favorite coworkers that he hopes she gets hit by a car.

Joke’s on him because he has an account and I know where he lives.

Time to mail Bibles to him every month because this boy need Jesus.

Clocked in 7 minutes ago and I’ve already had a guy cuss me out because of installation pricing. Happy New Year guys..

[justasinglepanda]

My first customer of the day was about 55 and had two broken ribs.

And HAD to show me by pulling up his entire shirt.

My eyes are forever scarred.

[justasinglepanda]

I’m SO sorry that you feel so entitled that you expect me to leave a customer I am currently helping to purchase $2,000 in product to help you find a charging cord that costs $13.99

My work day doesn’t revolve around you, ma’am.

[justasinglepanda]

I had a customer ask me today if I was wearing my work jacket because I’m a [NFL team] fan.

I just looked at him and pointed at the company logo on my shirt.

[justasinglepanda]

I just had a 65 year old man tell me he wanted to give me to his grandson because he wants another great-grandkid.

This was after he came up and the first thing out of his mouth was asking if I was married.

Do people think this is a normal way to interact with retail employees??

[justasinglepanda]

Had a guy come in and actually asked me this:

“How long did it take you to learn all this? You know, since women aren’t good with technology.”

Could’ve lost my job today.
