The thread in which I will document my daily troubles at an un-named supermarket that definitely isn't anything to do with my username. I hope to document the sh*te that I tolerate but after every day, post one silver lining.
-=Thursday 5th December=-
I work at the music, games and video department. I have to check the IDs of people I believe to be under 25 when they're buying age restricted products. Three main characters here:
M: Me
SBM: Stupid Bitch Mum
SS: Stupid Bitch's Brat
M: Hello, how are you today?
*scans age restricted product*
SS: *grunt*
M: I'm going to have to ask you for proof of ID, sir.
SBM: It's for me.
M: There's nothing I can do, I'm afraid.
SBM: I've given him the money and he's buying it for me.
M: Even if that is the case, I can't do it I'm afraid.
SBM: Oh, for fuck's sake.
M: Please don't swear at me madam. It's against the law and I could lose my job.
SBM: You're a nasty, tight fucker.
*SBM proceeds to storm off*
I'd kept my cool until now. I couldn't help but snap because it was in the last hour of a twelve hour shift. I entered sarcasm mode.
M: I hope you have a fantastic day and a very merry Christmas madam! *beaming smile*
SBM: And you, you sick, twisted cunt.
Horrible woman. She then went to customer services who called the manager-on-duty. He backed me up - it's store policy to back your decision, even if it does turn out to be the wrong one. She stormed out swearing.
Silver Lining
A woman came up to the desk and asked for advice about phones. We all specialise in different things.
Me: Phones
A: Games Consoles
JK: DVDs
S: CDs
JG: TVs
C: CDs
So I was speaking to her and it turned out she was buying a gift for her son. He had an Android and he didn't like how slow it was. I recommended a Windows phone. It turned out her father had died recently and as someone who has lost one myself I ended up staying on after my shift to speak to her. I recommended a Huawei W1 which she purchased, and it turned out that it was priced on the shelf £30 more than it scanned for. I hope I helped her out and made her a little happier.
Work tomorrow. (Today - it's 1AM!)
I'll update this when I get back.
