I'm on Break

....so my answers to "Do you have Pepsi products?" are as follows:

A) I'm standing here with chips in one hand and my purse in the other and

B) Why don't you take the 4 steps to the soda fountain and see?

One of the few upsides to my job is that I can't get hassled by customers on break or lunch!

The best part is when you tell them your on break or off the clock and they go "but it'll just take a moment."

Same here...one of the few perks of working in a call center

While our 15-minute breaks are paid, there's barely enough time to bolt down a coffee and some fruit after I've navigated the maze and paid for my food; I quickly discovered the wisdom of wearing another shirt under my store shirt.

I get that all the time at my work. "Can you help me with this?" while I'm on break. First of all, i'm not even trained in that department so I know as much as you do about where the stupid product is or how much something costs.

One time, a customer got really pissy with me when I said that I didn't work in that certain part of the store, and especially because I was on break.
SC: Well all employees should know where EVERYTHING in the store is! You know where this item is. You just don't want to tell me because you're on your BREAK.

He emphasized the last word, like it was the last thing us store employees deserved. So I gave him an understanding smile and said, "Sir, you're right. There is no excuse. The item you need is in *certain part of the store*. Sorry for the misunderstanding."

He huffed at me and stomped off. It was a good thing that I sent him to the WRONG side of the store! I was laughing about this with another employee who DOES work in that department and he said they were out of stock on that item anyway.
