  • I'm sorry I helped you

    Last week I was walking through the tools department on my way to the office. You have two ways to go to the office--you can go through all the stockrooms or you can go through the tools/lawn and garden department. I chose the salesfloor that day because they were receiving a truck in the back.

    So, I'm walking on through and I see this man standing in the middle of the main aisle and he looks really confused and very lost.

    Me: Sir, can I help you?
    SC: Yeah, I need to find *random, weird tool*
    Me: Oh. Oooh, I'm not sure. Let me--
    SC: THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE?!
    Me: Er. I was walking through--
    SC: You shouldn't be here if you don't work in this department.
    Me: Ah. Let me find you a salesperson...
    SC: Yeah and then you should go back to your own department so you don't confuse people!
    Me: Yes, sir. Certainly.

    I am still so confused. I think it's the last time I offer help to a customer, if...heaven forbid, I am not in my department.

    Note: I used to work tools so I *do* know where the majority of things are. I just had no idea what the guy was needing, sadly.

    Well, you were in the tool department. And that guy was definately a tool.

      I'm guessing he thinks that employees spontaneously generate from the ground they work on.

        I know that one well... To get to the bathroom, or to the break room, from the front registers... I HAVE to go through lighting and fashion bath. I get so many people asking things... "Um.... I actually don't know... Here, let me go find you a department employee, they should know more than I do!" So far I've gotten the patient people...
        Look, a signature!

        If every cashier in the world went on strike, retail would come to a screeching halt, even if for a couple hours.

          Dang! Tools would be insulted by this guy!

            The worst bit is that had you said right off the bat you didn't work in that department and would have to find someone who did you'd likely had been labeled incompetent.
            We're damned if we do, damned if we don't.

            But when I'm Queen of The World the customers... oh how they will pray for mercy.
            Muahahahahahaha *coughgaghack*
            I... *patting down hair* I'm sorry... as you were.
