I never said any of that

Now if this isn't proof that SC DO NOT listen I don't know what is.

Girl comes in and ask where the UPS store is...

Me--
Girl---


Girl- Where's the UPS store?
Me- Go through the doorway with the exit sign and through the glass door.Its the first store you come to...
Girl- Go through the doorway and up two levels.
Me-Repeat instructions
Girl-Go through the doorway and the next building over
By this point I'm thinking WTF when did I say anything about stairs or building next door?

Then this guy.....

Me-
Guy-

Guy-Can you can me where the bookstore is?
Me- Go up the stairs and to the right.
Guy- Go up two flights of stairs and over by starbucks.
ME-- repeat instructions
Guy--Go in the elevator and go up three levels?
Me--Go ask the front desk.

I mean really how do these people find their way home at night?

Guy--Go in the elevator and go up three levels?
Me--Go ask the front desk.

Oh, if that idiot was at Century III, or South Hills Village, it would have taken quite a bit for me *not* to tell him to go up 3 levels. C3 is only 2 levels (3 by the food court), and SHV is 2 levels. Either way, he'd be on the damn roof

Don't you know that when people ask you if you can tell them where something is that the proper answer is

Yes.
But I won't.



They need personal GPS systems.

My sister has one of those. We joke that if we put her in a paper bag and turned her around three times, she wouldn't be able to find her way out.

She agrees with this.

Me- Go up the stairs and to the right.
Guy- Go up two flights of stairs and over by starbucks.

How did they make "right" sound like "Starbucks?" lol

Here's what really sucks. They can't goto where one is pointing.

Yes of course. .. you're pointing left ... they try and go right ... or give you a blank stare ...


A customer asked to use our bathroom, in which I replied that we don't have public restrooms ... the nearest ones are:

Across the street at the Furniture Store (which is essentially, well, uh... across the street at the furniture store ...)

Down the street at Dairy Queen (which would be ... uhh... down the street ... at the Dairy Queen ..)


Both of these buildings are the same direction ... I point the direction of the buildings, which both can be very easily seen out the front door (both are straight out the front door). The furniture store is hard to miss because it's huge with large windows and FURNITURE in the windows. Why some people walk a little further to go to Dairy Queen, I don't know (maybe because it's a restaurant and they figure they could just walk right in and use the restroom).

What does the customer do? Goes through the front door, turns right and goes to a CAP Office which is EVEN FARTHER away than either the Dairy Queen or Furniture Store. And while he's doing this, he's grumbling, complaining, basically *bitching* about the fact that we don't have public restrooms.

I've encountered those folks more times than I can count. Here's a typical exchange at the Litter Box:

DG - me
DCP - Directionally Challenged Person

DCP: Where can I find the cream of wheat?

(We're standing on Aisle 6, aka the HBA aisle)

DG: Next aisle over on 7. Oatmeal and grits are on the very end of the aisle - Cream of Wheat would be on the very top shelf.

DCP: *pointing to Aisle 5* That way?

DG: *pointing to the direction of Aisle 7) This way.

DCP goes off aisle and turns OPPOSITE of aisle 7.
