  • Random Acts of Stupidity

    None of these customers were sucky, per se, merely annoying, but I've had a (glorious) lack of really sucky customers lately (knock on wood) so here we go.


    Thank You Captain Obvious

    Stupid Woman [from four aisles away]: EXCUSE ME! HEY!

    Me: Yes, ma'am?

    SW: Are these for music?

    *Hold up a 10 pack of CD-Rs that are quite clearly labeled "CD-R MUSIC*

    Me: Yes.

    SW: So I can use these to make a CD in iTunes and play it in my car?

    Me: Absolutely. Or you could use them to burn a data CD, a picture CD, or anything else that fits on a CD.

    SW: You mean I can put pictures on them too!!!!

    Me: Yep.

    SW: Wow! I didn't know that!

    Me: A CD-R is a CD-R. The "music" part is basically meaningless.

    SW: Wow! That saves me from having to buy more! Thanks!

    Me: No problem. *stupid git.....*


    Let me defecate one for you.....

    *walking up to a husband and wife. Wife is pregnant*

    Me: What can I help you find today?

    Sucky Wife: I need a footrest to go under my desk.

    Me: Well, we do carry those, but only one model, and I believe it's out of stock. *walks over to that area*

    Me: Yeah, iit's still out of stock. But I can see if any of our other locations have one, or I can order one for you.

    SW: No, that's OK.

    Me: OK, is there is anything else you need today?

    SW: Yeah......A FOOT REST!!!!!! Do you have any others out back.

    *You know, I understand that you are pregnant and that your feet must hurt because of it, but that doesn't grant me the magical power to footrests for you.*

    Me: No ma'am. They are out of stock *points to OUT OF STOCK* tag* but as I said, I can try and see if another store has one, or I can order one for you.

    SW: Ok, cna you see if another store has one?

    Me: Sure. *jots down SKU*

    So I went over to the inventory system and checked the three closest stores. All of them had the footrest in stock. I went back over to where the customers were, and they had left! WTF! They were no where in sight, so I just went about my business.

    Maybe fifteen minutes later

    Sucky Husband: EXCUSE ME!!!!!

    Me: Yes?

    SH: Do you have this in stock? *points to cheap-ass crapp plastic computer desk*

    Me: I dont' know off hand, but I'll check. By the way, all the area store have the footrest in stock. Were you heading north or south?

    SH: Huh? We're live in Massachusetts.

    *that would be SOUTH, numbnuts!*

    Me: OK, [location] has them in stock.

    SH: OK, did you have this desk?



    Me: I don't know, I haven't checked yet. I'll be right back.

    *heads into back room; finds desk; resists urge to scream; brings out desk*

    Me: Yep, got one right here.

    *Sucky Husband eyes box suspiciously*

    SH: Was this returned????

    Me: Nope. It's unopened.

    SH: Are you sure?????

    Me: Yes sir. The box is just dirty.

    SH: Fine. We'll take it.

    Me: Would you be interested in an all-inclusive protec---

    SH: NO. Thank you.

    Me: Fine. I'll leave this at the registers for you.


    Are you colorblind or something? I DO NOT WORK HERE!!!!!!

    Stopped in at Shaw's after work to exchange a bad box of crackers I'd purchased there before my shift (the inner bag wasn't sealed right). Had some woman SCREAM for me to help her at the meat counter!

    SW: Hey! HEY! HEY!!!!!!! HEY!!!! YOU THERE!!!!!!

    Me: I don't work here.

    SW: I need help here!

    ME: I DO NOT WORK HERE!!!!!!! The employees here wear GREEN!!!

    I walked away in my RED shirt.

    Ha, it's fun being mistaken for a Shaw's employee; except mine was understandable since I was out getting carts for our store and was wearing the glowy-orange-like-this-is-really-going-to-protect-me-in-broad-daylight vest. Had a customer roll a Shaw's cart towards me saying, "Here you go." I told her I didn't want it. She replies "Yes you do."

    ...hmm, I wonder if she complained to the Shaw's manager about me? ^_^

      Betcha she filed a complaint with the manager about "poor customer service" after that and wanted to see you fired.

        You know what I've found works for having people not bug you and thinking you work somewhere. Walk around clutching a small item. I usually go for dvds. Or a small stuffed animal. I don't know why it works, but since I started, nothing. Either that or I've lost my customer service vibe.

          I tried losing mine, but it keeps coming back.
