I hate you!

[CrazedClerkthe2nd]

...yes YOU...

That was directed at the douchewaffle who came into my store yesterday and paid for a FORTY plus dollar purchase with entirely UNWRAPPED Nickels AND dimes!!

That was a counting nightmare at the end of the night.

Now I wasn't the one who did this transaction, because I probably would have told the SC the coins had to be wrapped, but we were so slammed I never even knew what happen until I saw the huge BAGS filled with nickels and dimes later in the day.

I hate you too...

Yes YOU,

The guy that asked me "Why is it taking so long?" when you could clearly see we had all three registers open and lines to the back of the wall on each of them.

Look you impatient twit, we are BEYOND slammed here. We are working as hard as we can, you are just going to have to wait.

and you TOO!

And last but not least I hate you, yes you, the lady who got all bent out of shape with me when I told you we were sold out of Wii Fits. This at 5PM after we'd had well over 500 customers through the store.

We opened at 6 AM, we had THREE Wii Fits in stock. What in the name of holy hell made you think you would have any chance of getting one at FIVE in the afternoon. Even if we'd had 20 they would have been sold out by then.

Bonus rant

To the person who paid for one purchase with FIFTEEN gift cards:

While I don't hate you, I do hate all the people who gave you those $10 and $15 gift cards.

Every place that I have worked at has a policy that they will only accept a limited amount of change. After this amount (which is usually around 5-6 dollars) the change has to be rolled up. This is not only to speed up the process and provide faster checkout times, but also because we do not have coin rolls in our drop drawers and the banks near us will only accept rolled coin.

I checked with the manager on duty and that is our policy. I'm sorry that you had to count that one out. *hands you a beer*

Coins and Wii

Coins, is there not a legal limit in how much coinage you *MUST* take? I thought it was something like $25. Unwrapped (I prefer the transparent coin holders) that is a lot of change to count.

Three Christmases of Wii shortages and people still have not learnt to buy early.

Wouldn't you just LOVE to be able to tell someone like that to go fill out an application if they feel that you need more help? I can't tell you how many times I would have loved to have been able to say that back in my retail hell days!

[Calud]

Now, I get my change rid in the same way. Save it up, then spent a lot at once. But I'm just doing it to buy bread, so its more like 70cents with some 10s and 20s in there.

We used to tell them that back at WD . . . .with a smile at that.

SC: Youneedtoopenmoreregisters/bitchblatherwhinemoancry . . .

Me: "You know, we are taking applications if you or anyone you know would be interested."

SC: *turns CBF* I don't wanna work here.

Me: Then perhaps you know someone who would. *big fake grin*

SC: *opens trap then shuts it*

Hell, there was one Easter Sunday our Head Bookkeeper told a particularly whiny SC who was complaining about the lines to go to the HT store around the corner if he wanted to get waited on faster.

[Iris Kojiro]

Whiny person: "Why aren't the lines mooooooving??"

Me: (professional response)

WP: (something else)

Me: "Well, if you leave, the lines will move a bit faster"

Haven't actually said this...YET.

[malmalthekiller]

Me: "You know, we are taking applications if you or anyone you know would be interested."

That is quite possibly the best thing I've ever heard. I'm SO using that the next time I'm at the service desk by myself, with a huge line, and somebody bitches why there isn't someone else working here.

[Tito]

SC: *opens trap then shuts it*

Am I safe in assuming that the SC would stand there with quite a nasty case of CBF for the remainder of the transaction?

You rock, by the way! I bet some of the expressions you would get when you came back with that line were priceless!

At least in the states, there's no law that says a business MUST take unwrapped coins at all, or any other payment for that matter. If a store refused to take pennies, for example, that's their decision. It's quite common with large bills, like $50 and $100. Some places, mainly fast food restaurants, often have signs up saying they do not accept the above-mentioned bills.

If I had this much change, I would have paid a visit to the local Coinstar first. I usually keep the quarters since those are less hassle.

I don't even like counting my drawer when there is more loose coins than what would fit in a roll.

Most of the time, yes.

On the rare occasions where they still wanted to argue, a manager would be called. If our Head Cashier was available, she'd be the one called - she didn't put up with their nonsense either. She'd quickly tell them that there was a Harris Teeter store around the corner and they wouldn't have to wait (and believe me, it was. Every time I'd shop there, there'd be more employees than customers in the store, but I digress.)

[Tito]

I figured as much!

Too bad more businesses don't have supervisors like that head cashier who are not afraid to stand up to SCs. I think that if they did, SCs would not be as out of control as they are, because they know that they probably would not get away with it.

[Anakah]

Even if they wrap them aren't you worried that they may have stuck in other things to make them look full? I've had customers shove other coins into them or short them and try to blame me. Then I say sorry, that's what the machine said.

I think you guys should get jetsorts. It would be a billion times easier because then you could just throw all that crappy change into it and not have to count or touch it. But they're probably very expensive. Either way you should not have to take loose change like that.

Maybe I'm weird, but I LOVE getting change. It's a pain to count but I LOVE getting change. You should've sent them over to me!
