    Short but rude

    OK, I have posted many times about the idiocy and smarminess that comes about when I ask people if they have coupons. I only ask because I'll have to hear about it from the bosses if I don't. At this point, I either want the customer to say "yes," "no," or to just ignore the question. I've even started going to the trouble of asking, "Do you have any gift cards or coupons to use?" because that will put gift cards in there minds and I can avoid the stupid, not-funny remarks or fault-finding ("Why would I have a coupon on THIS thing??")


    So today I get a totally new rude answer: "No, I don't. If I had any I'd show them to you." Was that really necessary? Don't treat me like I'm stupid 'cause I do my job. So I decided to call her out with this: "Feel free to ignore the question. You're going to get asked because we're required to, so be prepared."

    Sadly sometimes the bosses either have not dealt too much with the public, or have forgotten what it is like. So they make rules like that. Sorry you have to put up with such.

      Yeeupp. I remember idiots like that from my Malmart days. It's been two weeks and I am not missing it...a bit...

      At least the women who have $50+ worth of coupons tend to be nicer. Why is it when you are trying to save them money they feel free to act like an asshole?

      EDIT: Unrelated note, but I noticed that I was the 42nd view...can I EVER get away from this number???
