Talking Shit From Other Customers Out Of Work

[UK Worker]

I work for the Post Office and after work the other day I stopped off at ASDA to get some shopping on my way home. I took off my coat and placed it in my trolley, I was still wearing my uniform but forgot I still had my name badge on.

Not long after I entered, this woman walked up to me and asked where the Dog Meat was, I said something along the lines of "Haven't got a clue" and walked off.

Then I heard:

Woman: DON'T YOU DARE TURN YOUR BACK ON ME

Me: Excuse me

Woman: I'm the customer here, I pay your wages... Now I've asked you a simple question and I expect a straight answer.

Me: What are you talking about (still a little confused)

Woman: I want to speak to your manager and I want to speak to him right this second.

Me: (It clicked.... she thinks I work here) My manager... what do you want to speak to my manager for.

Woman: Because your customer service is awful and your attitue is dreadful, now get me your manager.

Just then a ASDA worker walked past and I stopped him.

Me: LOOK Will You.... THIS MAN >>>> pointing at the ASDA worker DRESSED In GREEN works for ASDA. Look how it says ASDA on his jacket and name badge, now look at my name badge it says Post Office. It's not F**king Rocket Science is it.

Woman: So you don't work here

Me: Does it look like I work here

Woman: Well it doesn't matter, I expect you to treat any customer the way you treat your own. Which Post Office do you work at because I'll be speaking to your manager over this.

Me: *I told her to get a life and walked off, pushing my shopping trolley*

Nice one!

Please tell me "dog meat" in your neck of the woods means "meat for dogs"...

What the heck is your manager going to do? Write you up for not helping someone in the grocery store?

[ditchdj]

I wish something like that would happen to me or my wife. I would tell the retard to do "something very disgusting and inappropriate" to their mother. Think something along the lines of "Full Metal Jacket".

In a word, yes.

Ace response UK Worker, good luck to entitled whore from hell traking you down to your PO.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

I wonder if you should have complained to HER boss? I mean, she works somewhere, most likely. Either that or lives on someone's largess, so maybe you should report her behavior to whoever owns her.

[Boozy]

Woman: Well it doesn't matter, I expect you to treat any customer the way you treat your own.

What?! Oh god, no! I'll never be able to leave my home again!

The SCs! They'll be everywhere!

*Boozy curls up in fetal position and begins rocking herself*

I had something similar to that happen to me, too, but not to that degree. I went to Wal-mart after work and was still wearing my work uniform. Now, everyone knows the Wal-mart uniform, which is whatever you feel like wearing that day with an ugly blue vest over it. Our uniform is a maroon polo shirt with the companies logo embroidered on the chest. I go to the electronics to peruse the game case. I find the game I'm looking for and I notice this guy staring at me like I'm about to do a trick.

Briefly I wonder if perhaps I forgot to leave my clown shoes and balloon animals at home but, considering the fact that that my balloon animal artistry is severely lacking and I don't actually own a pair of clown shoes, something else must be weighing on this young man's mind.

Me: Uuh, what's up?

Him: I want to buy a game

Me: yeah. me to. I'll go find someone.

I head off to find someone to open the game case and it dawns on me that he thought I worked there. I busted out laughing at the idea that someone could be so vacant as to mistake my cloths for a Wal-mart uniform.

US Postal Worker: I just did. Go f--- yourself.

Sadly, sometimes a manager will reprimand one for behaviour outside the store, when wearing the store's uniform. In some way it counts as letting the side down, bringing disrespect to the company.

As for myself, I disliked uniforms so much that I never wore mine outside the store - in fact, I even reduced the chances of interception by SCs between the door and the staff room - I always kept my uniform in the staff room, and put it on there.

oh hell no
this is where you laugh and say 'ma'am i have been truthful and rather curtisous to you, i have been nicer than necessary. You asre just a blazing idiot. I am walking away now and if you open your mouth again it had better be to appologise. If you cant read that isnt my problem."
Then you tell her to mind her own buisness and walk away

[Pezzle]

Sometimes if I just stand around in Wal Mart, people ask me for help. WTF I am talking to an ex co worker from a completely different store and we are dressed completely not like we work there!?

We counted 10 people in 15 minutes. The 11th person got a reaming, out of frustration.

"Hey where is the soap?"

In my tub. Where it should be.

Good for you, being I think she would have carried out her threat had you told her the location of your work place. I'll bet she's had this confrontation with other people before. There are those that hate any service, whether it's postal or the common utility. We have folks down here who confront those who wear a uniform for the phone company, the electric company, UPS, Fed-Ex, it doesn't matter. Because those people do customer service in another line of work, those same people are for some reason supposed to provide good customer service to asswipes like this woman in your story.

[Can I Help Your A$$?]

I'd want to ask her, "well, where do you work? Is this how you treat YOUR customers/clients? If so, I'm calling YOUR boss."

Happens to me all the time, too. Seems to happen at Bed Bath & Beyond most frequently, though I have no idea why. I wear jeans and a t-shirt most of the time. Sometimes a black leather jacket if it's cold out. And even when wearing the jacket, I still get asked, "Do you work here?"
