    Awe Come on! I have been trying to go to lunch for the last hour now!

    I haven't really had any real stories of interest from my PT job at OfficeMax, until today.

    I wasn't scheduled to work, but I volunteered to take a co-worker's shift because I need the extra hours. So I did an 8a-4p shift today.

    Around 1 or so, I decided that I would take my lunch. It was a little busy, but it had slowed from how it had been the past hour. Anyhow, every time I started heading back to the break room to grab my coat and purse, I would get grabbed by an incompetent customer looking for something that they could find themselves since they were standing right in front of it, or a customer asking me to grab a chair from the back room, and then saying they changed their mind and want a different one, or maybe not believing me even the 5th time I tell her that the chair she wants does NOT come in any other colors, and customers asking me to help them find everything on their list, even though our aisles are clearly labeled and most of our stock is visible from the front of the store, and that apparently, I am now your personal shopper because I have nothing better to do and I don't have to eat today... no, of course not.

    so, I finally get to go to lunch at 2:15pm... my shift ended at 4 and I hadn't eaten since 7:30am.

    On black friday my managers forgot about me and I had lunch a half hour before I left. I liked it that way though.

      That remind me of our CSRs where I work. It seems that the minute they are supposed to go to lunch, 20 people come in and demand that they want to see them. Most of the time the CSRs are quick and are able to sneak to the back undetected, but some of them will not give up. We even have some who will sit and wait the entire 30 minutes they get just to speak with them. And usually their gripe is something so simple that a teller can help them out with it, be it finding out how much they spent at the grocery store or checking to see if a certain check had cleared the bank yet.

      I always want to tell these customers that the CSRs are people too and require sustenance therefore they are at lunch. But remember, all customer service people are robots and do not require food to function.

        The SC rule: Just because I get lunches and coffee breaks doesn't mean you retail slaves get one. I am too important.
