Stories from behind the counter

[Delislave]

I must say this whole 'working in retail' rubbish is just not quite working out... I suggest we build robots to fufill our duties! That is basically what we are anyway aren't we?


Lacking in the common sense Dept.

Ok, so you all realise that rotisserie chickens are hot? Therefore, the cabinet they are in is also hot.
Hot = NO TOUCHY

Please remember this in the future. And don't complain to the nearest slave that the chickens (which have several signs stating CAUTION:HOT) have burned your hands. Quite simply, we really REALLY don't care.


Also, coleslaw is messy. It may sometimes get on the container. DEAL WITH IT
Do not pull a face like I've just taken away Christmas from the orphans.
Look at the line! Do you really think I have time to grab 20 paper towels and dab down your container with utmost care??!!


Awkward Moment!

Awkward silence...
RF: Shit chicken!*paces up and down the counter with exaggerated hand gestures*
Me: I don't understand. We have sliced, shaved or shredded chicken?

RF: Shit chicken!!
Me: *grabs* this much?
RF: Yes
Me: There you go.

I always get fearful that, one day, I will say that when I end a call with a member. I say "love you" to several people in my life when hanging up the phone. I just know that someday, I will say it at work.

The other day, at my job waiting tables, I approached a table and started to go into my phone spiel from my dispatcher job. I stopped myself before they heard me tell them my department. I answer the phone here, "this is fojk, dispatch" I walked up to the table, "FOJK, ...." I mean..."Hi, I'm FOJK, I'll be your server today"

I did the last time I got a new job. It took me a bit to get in my head to use greeting X and to forget greeting Y

You gotta love people who don't speak whatever language, who think increased decibel level will aid in understanding...

Do not pull a face like I've just taken away Christmas from the orphans.

probably by partaking in some wine before shopping...

I did the last time I got a new job. It took me a bit to get in my head to use greeting X and to forget greeting Y

I've done that a few times...

Back when I was working 2 jobs - one at packard hell, the other at the local game store.

This happend on the same day:

At packard hell:
me: "Thank you for calling <local game store>..."
caller: "Uhhh...."
me: <realizes what I've said> "oops, sorry, I mean packard hell"

Then later at the game store:
me: "Thank you for calling packard hell.... damnit! I mean <local game company>..."
caller: <busts out laughing> "You have my sympathies!"
(other customers in the store started laughing at me too when they realized what I had said)

I do this every so often when talking to my girlfriend online and calling someone at the same time. Usually ends up funny.
