  • I think I need a hug.

    I love Donkey but that's not the point. Since moving from my hometown to the other square state the annoyance that is our customers has increased tenfold. Back home I maybe got one, two at max, customers who would joke that an item is free if it didn't ring up immediately. Now I get like 20 a day. i know it happens to the majority of you and it only gets more annoying. At least twice today the item that didn't ring up immediately was flour and I so desperately wanted to give them the flour free...over their heads. GAAAAAH!!!!

    Also, I've been getting alot of customers who, when paying by check, are prompted by the register to show ID and give their phone numbers and want to argue about it. WHY?!?! I just do what the evil computer tells me and if I don't you don't get your stuff. Fighting with me isn't gonna make it go away. Telling me you spend thousands of $$ in here isn't gonna make it stop. I spend thousands in that store too and I'm not bitchy about it when I sadly have to use the method of payment preferred by the ancients(I luvs me debit card. it's mah friend). Do they really think I'm gonna remember their ID info? Or their phone number? I have waaaay more important things to do than to remember the phone number of people I dislike in the first 30 seconds of meeting them. Like watching Spongebob or Dora the Explorer. That would be way more fun. Sigh...

    *offers hugs*

    People stink. Why get so worked up over showing your ID?

        There ya go, 1 big hug!
        The best thing to do in this situation is keep on saying to yourself, "This customer is an idiot." Hey if they aren't worried about identity theft, that's their problem. I have to put up with contractors who come in all the time and they act like their gods or something, all because they "Spend thousands of dollars every day at our store". They want their precious 10% discount too when they make a freakin $20 purchase, even though our policy states that contractors must spend at least $500 on a single purchase to get that 10% off. I hate people like this too.

            Lots of hugs to you. If those same SC's had their checks stolen, and someone bought 300 blow-up dolls with them without showing ID, they'd be the first to explode.

              I am in Colorado. I like both the squares of this land. Thankfully today, no gripes but I have gotten a "do i get a discount for being ugly". yeah weird but I told him "no because you're being mean to yourself". Thanks all for the hugs. i just needed to vent.

              Somedays, I just wanna follow the directions on a Snapple and shake well(them not me). But I just have to tell myself that I have a good happy life and they are miserable and I will not join them.

Sorry, I don't buy it. Real customers here get a few bucks worth of food once in their lives and never eat or spend money again."
