I'm rude?

[Android Kaeli]

This happened tonight, not long before we closed.

So I'm doing my cleaning of one side of the store, first time I could do it all day since it was mad busy all day today [didn't clock out until 7:40 pm when normally the closers get out at no later then 7:10]. I hear my name paged to come up front to ring, I grab my buggy of returns and other such things, and head past these two ladies. I politely say 'Excuse me' to them, like I always say to customers when I need to get past them, and then proceeded to get this gem:

"You're unremarkably rude. You're supposed to be helping the customers, that's your job!"

I was stunned for a few seconds but ignored it and went to the front to get on my register for a bit. I told the closing MOD later about it when we were finishing up cleaning and she had a WTF look on her face.

Really? I mean, really? I'm rude for saying excuse me? Yea, okay.

Well you didn't stop what you were doing to help them! How rude, even if you are off the clock!
*rolls eyes* I hate customers that do that. It's not really that difficult to wait your turn LOL

But, seeing as you have a trolley in your control, you must be shopping instead of working, how dare you?! Don't you know your time at the job is not for your own interests, but instead for helping old bags with their problems?

maybe she wanted you to physically pick her up and move her because she is a customer and shouldnt have to walk to move out of your way.

[LillFilly]

Well! I never. You were not REMARKABLY rude to them! You must do better!

PS. I hope they weren't English Teachers!

Please tell me they asked for something at a volume too low for you to hear, and thought you were just ignoring a request. You WERE helping customers. (Moving to where you can help is helping, right?)

[bainsidhe]

Did they think that unless you were actively engaged in assisting a customer, then you weren't doing your job? Stores don't clean themselves, you know. Though that would be pretty cool if they did.

I think they may have asked for something, I don't know -- with my hearing [I'm deaf in one ear], the volume of the store music, and pages, I may not have heard any requests from them. Maybe that's why they thought I was rude to them, or maybe they were annoyed that every other person in the store was either on a register or already helping four people each. O.o

Some want to us to pick them up from the moment they walk into the store, they don't want to walk five feet to where they need things.

[Cashier]

I get customers that expect me to help them even when I've got my coat on and am heading out the door. I get called rude all the time when I keep walking, while saying goodbye to them on my way out. I always tell them that someone else will help them inside.

[chainedbarista]

you're rude? well, at least if that were actually true, you can learn manners, while stupid lasts FOREVER.

[Stryker One]

Try harder next time.

Well! I never. You were not REMARKABLY rude to them! You must do better!

PS. I hope they weren't English Teachers!

So, not only were you rude, but you were boring and unimaginative in your rudeness.

Rude, Madam? Rude?
