So, I worked the day before Halloween, and Halloween itself. People were so RUDE it was unbelievable. The shop was absolutely trashed, and I was in tears at the end of yesterday because it was so bad.
I Can See You!
I was on my till, looked up and saw a boy trying to break open a pack of lighters and steal one! I stared at him until he looked up, and when he saw me he ran out of the door, minus the lighter
Guy Fawkes
There were a gang of boys sat outside the shop basically begging for money off customers (people may know it as "Penny For The Guy") and generally causing problems. We asked them no less than four times to move, and had to call the police in the end because they were setting fire to bits of rubbish.
ID Again!
A boy came up with some age-restricted items, and he wasn't old enough to buy them so he called his friend over to buy them for him. 2nd/3rd party sales are illegal in this country, so I refused to sell them to his friend. Then it began...
SC: This is ridiculous, it's just deodorant and lighters!
SC: They're just razors what's the problem!
SC: This is stupid come on you're a right twat!
Yes, she basically kept saying things over and over in a really goading voice, and I was ignoring her. Then she started trying to get other customers to start with me as well.
SC: Don't you think this is ridiculous love? It's stupid that they won't sell us stuff isn't it?
I lost my patience. She was talking to me like I was something she'd stepped in.
Me: LOOK! If you do not STOP this I won't sell you anything at all, I don't have to serve you you know! It's company policy, it is not my fault, and what's more it's the LAW. What's it to be?
SC: Erm...erm...that's fine thank you. *takes bag of legally obtainable items and leaves*
I'm A Miserable Cow Apparently...
...because I have a headache and asked your child to stop kicking its feet on the windowsill. Yes, that is what a woman said to me. We're supposed to ask the child to stop kicking its feet because it is annoying, distracting, and what's more it damages the windowsill. When I asked this child to stop it the mother went "Oh come on we're going! Miserable cow!"
I hate people
Would It Kill You To Put Stuff Back?
This is just a general rant of people messing the store up really badly. People really are lazy.
Manners Cost Nothing
I worked 11 hours on Saturday, and out of all the customers I served, ONE out of them all helped me to pack their bag, and 99% of the customers I dealt with over the weekend didn't say please or thank you
The majority of them also talked to me like I was a servant, stupid, or both.
For The Love Of Christ Make Sure You Have Enough Money!
This happened TWICE on Sunday - people would fetch something to the till, I would scan it, then they wouldn't have enough money or a card to pay on. Then (on the busiest day of the year!) I had to hold the queue up to get a supervisor to void the order off!
So, it was long as always, and they were just the incidents I remember!
