I was as nice as possible but they kept starin' at me totally creepin' me out. Eventually the bartender cut them off and I had to arrange to get them a cab so one guy came to the hostess stand and told me all the details i needed for the cab company. He was flirtin' with me and was really crude about it- I even saw him looking down my shirt. I reached down behind the counter to get the phone book and when i looked up he had moved to the side of the counter and had a full hard on. Needless to say I was floored. I excused myself and went to the bathroom to calm down so I didnt just slap the guy. I went back to tell him he was being inappropriate but he and him buds were leaving so i just thanked god it was over then on his way out he grabbed my ass and said "thanx for givin me somethin' to think about later tonight". I was stunned and couldn't even say anything. This is why i no longer work retail!

I'm just going to start posting in this thread after every shift I work.
This happened last night:
-Excuse me, do you have any more scentless Kitty Litter?
-Well, I know we don't have any in back, let me go check the top shelf where we keep inventory. *I walk all the way across the store from aisle 2 to aisle 21*
-No, I don't see any. They already wrote the order so I'm sure we'll get some in tomorrow.
*the lady throws a ****ing temper tantrum. Letting out huge sighs and letting herself lean all her weight on her cart, I thought she was having a seizure at first*
-Sorry, ma'am, is there anything else I can help you with?
*she just turns her back on me and walks away*Last edited by (o)./^\.(o); 06-09-2006 at 10:20 AM.

Let's see....
Well, I can't really complain much now, but when our company used to sell nearly everything with mail-in-rebates on a near daily basis I would have a customer screaming at me over the phone because they never recieved their rebate checks, and demanded that I mail them to you. It always boggled my mind that they can't put together after the buy a product in Pennsylvania, mail a reabate to Arizona, and think all of the work is done in Pennsylvania.
I can stand though how people assume when you work in a larger store that you are trained in every department, and know everything about every product in the store. I'm pretty good with technology, I sell computers and stuff, but TV's I don't really know anything about...so don't get mad at me when you personally pull me from my department and ask me for help on products I have no knowledge on.
And finally, people we try and get tech support from the store where they purchased the product. I have no idea why your printer says "PC Load Letter" but I bet if you call the manufacturer they could help you.--tk

While not exactly retail, I have to add my early working experience.
I was a paper boy for the NY Daily news. Not bad work 50 + customers and I cleared $40 a week (This was backin the 70's). Had some real bad customers.
Had 1 customer that kept asking why I gave them a ripped paper all the time. They had a yorshire terrier and every time I threw the paper on the porch, I would hear the dog attack the paper. One day I accidentaly nailed the dog with the Sunday edition..
Another customer when I would come to collect, I heard her tell her daughter, if thats the paper boy, tell him to come tomorrow and when he comes tomorrow, tell him Im not home. Suffice to say, after 2 weeks of nojn payment, I cut her off. She called my boss to complain, but I told him before about her and he told her pay up and you will get a paper again.
Had another customer pay me in pennies (no kidding). He did this for a month, thought he was pissing me off. I told him keep it up, Im a coin collector and some of the pennies were worth some bucks. He started to pay my by check after that.
My final customer from hell, was some older divorced woman. I broke some slat glass in her storm window with a Thursday edition. I left a note with my number. She called and told me later, dont bother replacing it as she was missing 5 pieces already. Later that month, she called my boss and told him I broke 2 windows and never said anything. I wound up replacing 2 pieces (it didnt matter, my cousin was in the glass business and had tons of this stuff in his backyard). I would have replaced all the glass just so he would be rid of it. As it was I replaced the 2 pieces.
I was a good paper boy, made sure the papers were delivered by 6:30 AM and if it rained, the paper were in plastic. One day, it rained at 2:00 in the afternoon. The same "glass lady" complained that her paper wasnt putin plastic. Well hello, the paper is a morning edition and is delivered at 6:30 AM. Its not my fault you didnt wake up until 5:00 PM. She even kept it in the sink to prove it was wet.
That showed me, never deal with the public directly.....Last edited by larrygreg; 06-09-2006 at 02:58 PM.

Today I was given a go ahead by the doctor to resume work again. Lady came into Publix and this is how she wanted everything bagged.
Plastic then paper then plastic. For a headsup the paper is more then two sizes the plastic bag.Hilarious. philhyp calls me fat, but has the same size waist at 30lbs lighter.

Theirs been a few times people have been absolute **** heads to me...mostly stemming from me being a little kid at the time (14-15) or just having an overblown sense of their own importance. For example, i got reported to my manager for not waitering for a table (we don't waiter where I work) and, after explaining why we don't waiter, she had the balls to say "but we're special and spend a lot of money here (lol, first time I seen them)". moron

He'd bitch at me for a few minutes about how the food sucked, then would order something. Every night.... Wtf were closing...There's a ton of fast food places around here....Stop coming here and bitching at me if oyu don't like the food.

Work at a gas station at the moment, and we can't sell wine on Sundays because of our liquor license or something, and some guy was almost ready to fight me over it a few weeks back. I pretty much snapped on him, told him to put it back and shut the hell up, and he got mad and left, LOL.

However, they pay well and have good benefits. That's why I'm there.
Costco is supposedly the industry leader in terms of benefits.
Anyone have any personal experience working for them?Last edited by Al Shades; 08-16-2007 at 07:57 PM.
