    I'll Pull One Out Of My Arse Just For You

    This may not be as good as some of the other stories but it's my first sc since returning to work last week so i thought i'd share.

    I worked a split shift on tuesday started at 7.30am til 3pm then came back at 5.30pm and worked til 9.30pm so it was a very long day and by 8pm i was getting tired and cranky.

    I was coming back from my break when this lovely (cough cough) lady comes up to me.

    SC "You're out of continential cucumbers, i need them"
    ME " I'm sorry but we won't be getting any more until the next load which is tomorrow morning"

    SC "Well what am i supposed to do? I need them tonight to make a salad for tomorrow"
    ME "I can't give you what i don't have, you can try (Supermarket) down the road"
    SC "I don't want to waist fuel going there"

    Mind you the other supermarket is 300 meters down the road and if she needed the cucumber that badly its not far to drive.

    ME "I'm sorry but there's nothing until tomorrow, we open at 8am if you want to come back then"
    SC "This is rediculas, don't you have any out the back"

    (Damn you got me, of course i have plenty out the back, i was just hiding them from unsuspecting customers like yourself

    ME "No we don't, not til tomorrow" (Sounding like a broken record now)
    SC " You have horrible customer service"

    Bye bye don't let the door hit you on the way out, i didn't say that but i so wanted to.

    And that's how my first week went.

    No offense, but the mental image of you pulling something shaped like a cucumber out of your arse has caused me to lose all interest in what I was eating.

          I think that pickle I was going to have with lunch will sit in the fridge for a while longer.

            Oh yeah, I used to deal with those customers working in retail. They never used to leave me alone, keep insisting that we must have some. Then I would go in the back....dance a little, drink a soft drink, talk to a co-worker back there and come out and go, "Nope, nothing there ma'am"

              I worked as one of those "Samplers" in Wal-mart a few times.... and sometimes they DID have stuff in the back.... of course no one knew how to go in the back and look though - it was amazing. I'd go through 3-4 people before someone would figure out WHO it was I needed to ask to see if they had the product I was supposed to be sampling that day.....

              it was the craziest thing - I never understood why there was such a lack of communication between the sampling co. and the stores.... everytime I went to Wal-mart to sample they were almost out or completely out of the product.... so there I am sampling a product that they don't have for sale..... the other stupid thing is they wouldn't let us hand out coupons - yet we were supposed to hand out "promotional material" like brochures & crap.... nobody wants that crap........

              But still it always surprised me How many different workers I had to go through to get to one that could go into the back room and help me look for the product..... and then when it was there I was always surprised that they hadn't put it out on the shelf - the shelf was almost completely empty........ maybe it's b/c I never worked at Wal-mart before that I can't grasp their hiearchy.....

                When I was younger, we would buy bottled water from the local Luckys (grocery chain). They would regularly fail to restock the shelves with wate. Just about every other time I went I had to get a clerk to go back and get some for me. And they still wouldn't restock the shelves.

                  I used to do that all the time when I worked at the grocery store.

                  "Do you have X?"
                  -Nope, we're all out.
                  "Do you have any in back."
                  -Nope.
                  "Can you check?"
                  -OK.
                  *goes into the back*
                  *grabs a snack*
                  *sits on a box for a couple minutes munching on snack*
                  *finally goes back out*
                  -Nope, sorry, nothing back there.

                  Of course, there was always plenty of stuff in back. Probably not what wasn't stocked out front, but in theory it could be in there. But I wasn't going to take an hour to dig through the mountain of pallets looking for something that probably isn't there anyways.
