...but they do them anyway and spoil what would have been a smooth couple of days.
Do NOT yell at me when we're out of stock.
Other people got to it before you did, miss. Don't stomp your feet and yell, "I have a rain check!"
Big whoop, you have a rain check, how is this going to help? Sure, you've been here before when the item was still out and it's out again now. Yelling at me won't make any of that item materialize in front of you.
Oh? Now you're lying that I didn't help you? Yeah, you caught me, I have a whole bunch of that item back in the warehouse and just don't want to give it to you! Ya caught me red handed!
Do NOT threaten my friends with violence.
Some of my co-workers are my friends. We hang out, drink, go to casinos and all that fun stuff. I tend to get a bit protective of my friends, thanks for raising me like that, dad.
While covering my buddy's break on the front register, a group of four punks walk in with their hoods on and mean mugging everyone, including me who just stared back at the biggest one.
A few minutes later, my buddy comes back and resumes his position. As I'm walking away, the punks come up with a few items to buy. They notice that we sell this certain type of improvised blunt wrap and request a few. My buddy, following the policy, requests ID from all four kids. Of course, the one asking for the wraps has forgotten his ID. Awww, too bad, can't sell them to you. After this was explained, one of the other kids puts his ID on the counter and says, "Fine, I'll buy them." My buddy then explained that he still couldn't do the sale because one person didn't produce his ID and wasn't going to risk selling to a minor and that people of age buying for minors is against the law.
This guy throws a fit, I couldn't do anything but look and watch since I was now back in my department handling a line. The kid screams bullshit and then I heard,
"I'm going to f***ing kick your ass when I come back!"
They all leave without buying anything, leaving all that product on the counter. My buddy walks to me and explains what happened and I told him that I heard it and that he would have to go through me first if he actually did come back.
Of course, he never did.
Do NOT cry and whine when you're clearly wrong.
I got upset with both the customer and my manager on this one.
A dude comes up to my counter and mentions a sale for batteries that he saw on our company website. It was a good sale, buy one pack of batteries and get THREE free!
Anyways, I'm not just going to take his word without looking it up, so I get onto our website and, sure enough, the ad was still there. One problem, it went off sale yesterday (Black Friday). I explain this to the man and he cuts me off with, "Well, it was still on the website! It's still being advertised!"
I replied, "Well, sir, that was a Black Friday only sale and it even says so at the top here-" I tried showing him the screen but he refused.
"No! It's still being shown on the website which means it's still on sale!"
He then tries to force me to give him the sale price still! To which I called over my manager. I walked away to do something else. When my manager showed up, the customer plead his case. It sounded as if this was life or death, as if he REALLY needed these batteries. Well, he succeeded. My manager caved and gave him the sale price.
Do NOT rip us off.
Midway through today's shift, I had to use the mens' room. I'm almost there when another co-worker walks out of the mens' room looking pissed. I ask what's wrong and I learn that we were just ripped off and that he was going to go inform the manager. I walk in there and see an empty condom box, an empty toothpaste box, an empty toothbrush case, and and empty box of bandages.
I guess he was going on a date?
