I can has cheezburger?

[SiobhanCecilia]

An SC came to my register today with a trolley stacked high with clothes, shoes, hair colour and vitamin water. As I was processing the items, she says:

SC: Where do you keep the frozen food?
Me: I'm sorry, we don't have a frozen food section.
SC: Why not? <F> has frozen food.
Me: Yes, but this is <S>. We don't stock frozen food.
SC: Do you have cheeseburgers?
Me: No, we don't really sell food here. There's a <F> just across the road.
SC: This is bullshit! Forget it, I don't want any of this!

The SC proceeds to walk out indignantly, then turns around and semi-shouts "I haven't eaten all day and I have diabetes!"

Whaaa?

First of all, welcome to CS.com.

Secondly, another Aussie <hugs>

Thirdly, even though this website is unfamiliar to most Australians, it is a VERY good idea not to reveal the name of the company you work for. Most people here just say <generic store> and get away with it.

And finally....whiskey tango foxtrot?

[SiobhanCecilia]

Hello, fellow Australian~! <hugs back>

Yes, whiskey tango foxtrot certainly sums up that scenario.

In fact, if I had whiskey at work it might be all more bearable. Alas.

p.s Thanks for the heads up, I stealthily edited my post. No one will ever know.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot=WTF in the phonetic alphabet

*shares the people hate*

Apparently the SC gets both bitchy and stupid when she hasn't eaten in a while. Sorry you had to deal with that! And welcome to the boards

thanyou for the welcome lol she was particularly stupid as we actually do sell confectionary, and she was free to buy some...oh well.

Having a disability or disorder is no excuse to be sucky. Unfortunately, expecting some people to be reasonable and responsible is asking too much.

Welcome to CS, SiobhanCecilia!

Not an Aussie, but definitely familiar with the notion that we are responsible for the dietary needs of everyone who walks into our store.

Welcome to the boards. Good to see some fresh blood.

Just to clear up some confusion since I know people have asked about it before, supermarkets in Australia will generally sell all the food stuff as well as health and beauty products, a limited range of homewares and manchester and an extremely limited range of lingerie. Some stores across the same brand will also sell a very limited range of electronics and generic home products i.e. kettles and toasters.

In reverse, most discount department stores also sell a limited supply of food. NONE of them have frozen food sections. Also, if the woman did have diabetes, there are jellybeans hat she can buy from the chemist that will deliver a glucose shot in case of emergency.

Bah. I'm diabetic, and it will be a cold day in Hell before I use it as an excuse to be an SC. Many a time I've found myself getting low blood sugar and having to stop and get something to eat in the middle of my normal routine. People like this make me see red.

[Can I Help Your A$$?]

Didn't you know? We diabetics can only eat FROZEN FOOD in a sugar emergency!

In fact, if I had whiskey at work it might be all more bearable.

I'm sure Whiskey will be perfectly happy to take that as a compliment... wherever she is this morning...

[Shalom]

Wait a minute. Something doesn't add up.

She was diabetic and she hadn't eaten all day...

so she wanted a frozen cheeseburger‽?!¿

What's she got, diamond teeth like Pterry's trolls?

There there, it's okay. You'll feel better when you stop expecting any form of logic or reason from a customer. Expecting them to make any sense at all will just confuse and upset you.
