Sucktomer Random Thoughts Thread

Do you see a logo on anything I'm wearing? No? Okay then. I am NOT the opening cashier (the only reason I acknowledged your existence is because you tried to follow me up to the office). That is all. SCO is the only thing open right now and I'm going home.

Look, I know you think it's ridiculous to be carded for canned air. I don't mind if you say that; I agree. But why go on and on about it? You talked about all the stuff you did as a kid that wasn't substance abuse. OK, fine, I could stand there and listen to your diatribe. But then you pulled out this gem: "I had a good life. I didn't need to do that stuff." Well, some of us didn't have good childhoods. And some made bad choices. But I think compassion is better than judgement. And that's why I said "that's good for you" and informed you that I didn't do drugs, but that I abused food. I felt you needed a measure of reality pushed into your bubble. In short, just give me the ID and spare me the lecture.

So at the end of me cutting fabric for a lady I say "have a nice day." She replies with "good idea!"

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you.

I don't normally swear, but this kind of petty sarcastic bullshit really pisses me off. And based on the way she said it, I did NOT misinterpret her. Maybe she was mad because earlier I didn't agree with something she was complaining about. She was complaining that another woman bought all of a bolt that SHE wanted and that was "greedy." Her word. And I just made a non-committal "uh-huh" because she was sounding like a brat, and I just wanted her to stop talking. So maybe that irritated her. More likely she was just a horrible person.

Okay, I overheard these next lovely specimens who were being helped by my CW. They got offered a remnant for 50% off. But they have a coupon for 60% off, and those discounts can't be combined. So they were bitching about how they won't take the remnant because we're "screwing them." Then they were like "oh, was that one cashier here today? We won't go to her, she was horrible, she gave us the most trouble last time!" Then I couldn't hear, but I guess they got asked to show something (not sure what?) and they were pissed because "she didn't ask anyone else, but she made me show her!" You know what? Maybe you are the problem, not us.

Yes, there's a bit of condensation on the counter. It's the same substance that will touch your clothes in the washer. In fact, it's so humid today that moisture is touching them right now. Handing a bunch of them to me in the air is not productive. I can't scan them and take off the hangers like that. I need both hands. Besides, you should be more concerned about the chemicals on the clothes and the dirt on the counter than some drops of water.

[WishfulSpirit]

I sort of understand the water thing after encountering drops on counters that weren't water. Nothing gross but I don't want to drag a customer's new clothing through sticky clear soda (which is what it turned out to be thanks to a sucktomer who couldn't control her kid). Icky.

"This is a credit card." No it's not. It gave you the option for cash back and asked for a PIN.

[Dreamstalker]

No, you're not getting cash back. Why not? Because you didn't select cash back on the pinpad. Telling me you want cash back is well and good, but YOU have to make the actual selection.

By all means, go to the service desk and try to tell them I didn't give you your cash. Your purchase was $3.99, your receipt says "DEBIT $3.99" There is no cash to give here.

Well, the broken bathroom saga ended today. It lasted much longer than it needed too, and by the end I got a kind of mean satisfaction by reiterating that the bathroom was, indeed, out of order.

*women reads out of order sign, sees me* "Your bathroom is out of order???"

Did they think I'd answer different? OH WAIT. Today after it was fixed, the sign was left up. So a lady comes and asks me and I say my usual "if it's locked someone is using it" since it's a one person bathroom. And she's like "the door is open, but there's an out of order sign..." Over the radio I ask if the bathroom is really and truly fixed. In return I get a slightly snotty "yes, it's fixed!" I reply "okay, the sign just got left up." Response? "Well the door is unlocked!"

Okay? I'm just explaining why I asked if it was fixed, no need to get snippy. This is why we need our new SM to get here pronto. The person who was talking is the ASM, and I'm tired of this sort of snarky non helpful replies.

OMG lady, I told you three hours ago it was too late for Sunday's paper! And what do you do? Send me your ad & billing info at 4:30 PM!! Which was what, three days past deadline? And you ask me to "Pull some strings"?

Like I have any strings to pull! AHAHAHA! Strings! Me!!

[Monterey Jack]

And you ask me to "Pull some strings"?

Like I have any strings to pull! AHAHAHA! Strings! Me!!

Maybe it was Bela Lugosi...

"Pool the strink! Pool the strink!"

You didn't have to give me a dirty look. My light was off and there was a hand basket on my counter. Plus, I let you know I was closing right away instead of making you wait and then telling you.

[BrenDAnn]

Yeah, sure, buddy, the ATM just so happened to not dispense your money, when no one else had a problem last night. Oh, and you didn't get a receipt, because you didn't think you'd need one. Well, then. Hey, fuck you, too, asshole. Manager gave you a perfectly reasonable solution, offering the number for the ATM company, since we have fuck all to do with it aside from it being inside our store. No, she can't call them for you. It's YOUR account they'll be asking about. Yeah...glad we could help you, too, sunshine. Go darken someone else's damn day!

[MoonCat]

Dear Idiot: No, WE cannot call your bank to find why your credit card declined! No bank is going to divulge any info on your account to anyone but YOU!

Dear Twit: Yes, we DID return your calls! TWICE. I left voicemails identifying myself both times. It's not my fault you didn't listen to your voicemail and ended up calling back more than 30 minutes past deadline. Your ad was supposed to start yesterday - why did you wait until late afternoon today to call and ask why it didn't run? P.S. We don't have your ad in our system, so, like 99% of the people who call with this problem, I'm guessing you chose "online only" when you placed your ad via the online system. Not my fault you don't read, either.

Dear idiot who attempted to complain about me,

Why did you think that whinging to my manager about me telling you off for using your phone while pumping fuel would ever fly? It may come as a surprise to you, but the manager always has our back in cases of sticking to policy. Throwing a childish tantrum and whining about being told off is not going to get you anywhere save being a laughing stock.

First, you came to the express line with 20 items. Second, I have no problem with your daughter wanting to help unload the cart but at some point you should've noticed it was taking a long time and helped her instead of looking at your phone. Third, you handing me the items one-by-one did not help make it faster. I don't need you to show me the tags. Just put your crap on the counter. The people behind you will appreciate it.
