Worst job I've ever had was working at a grocery store when I was 16-17, I don't know how the fuk people can work there for more then a few months and not want to go postal
Would have people come up to me and complain about prices(like I set them), coupons that were from 2 years go, etc etc
wouldn't wish that job on my worst enemy

I used to work in a store that sold clothes, home decor, and shoes
well one day they made me organize the whole shoe area and it was a mighty mess...
So I finished the whole area in two hrs and I was in one of those fists on my hip triumphant stand while doing that slowly up and down motion with my head with a slight smile on my well done job...
as I'm enjoying my stance and my job some asian lady walks up to a shoe that's at her exact standing height picks it up, checks it and it's not her size, she then just lets it drop on the floor and keeps on looking,
I slowly put my arms down and i had an OMG WTF I'm going to murder you ho3 kinda face, and just bounced to the bathroom for a good five min

I'll contribute some of my own.
Customers that misread the sign (you literally have to have some form of intellectual disability to do so) start getting aggressive and rude. I remain firm with the mentality that the sign clearly states the offer/promotion and that no one is forcing the customer to buy the item.. soon after they always call for a manager.
Manager is beta and always caves in. He apologizes to the customer and gets me to give the promotion and I end up looking like I have no idea what I'm talking about and don't understand the sale.
Customers try to return shoes and claim manufacturing faults after several months when it is obvious that they have damaged the shoes by stepping on sharp objects or treating the shoes like chit.
People that ask for discounts on clothing garments when there is a loose thread... brb asking for 10-20% off the price... uwotm8?-Team Manlet-

I also remember this black woman who said keep smiling child i love your smile..felt really good man even now
And i helped some black religious man who said god bless you and he said it with such conviction..even though im not religious i felt dahh lawd shine down on me.
Was talking with a 10/10 blonde big titted milf and how she does car work..i said "i could see you doing that" she said "i wouldve preferred if you said i was a model" went beta because it was completely unexpected and i honestly dont remember if i said anything i blanked out.
I actually miss the job I got to help so many people with little things like bringing items to their car because their too old..felt good manI'm gonna make it brahs.

Parents own a medical supply business that has contracts with hospitals all around town. I help out there a few days out of the week during the summers, and I manage the online store, order invoices, and e-mail between clients during the school year as well. My parents don't pay me, but I have a company credit card I use for living expenses while I'm in college. It's boring as fuark but I'm really good with customers, who are mainly nurses, doctors, and hospital management.
Anyway, one day I'm in the store helping out a few customers when some woman calls the store asking about an order she had placed the previous week. I stop what I'm doing and check inventory and see that we are still waiting to receive it from the distributor. I relay this to customer and immediately she starts yelling. The b_tch starts dropping my dad's name, saying how the "owner" promised it would be in that day, and how she wouldn't pay for it. I try to calm her down by not raising my voice and and simply stated that there is nothing that I can do, and that we will give her a call as soon as her order comes in. I tell her if she wants a refund I would be happy to give her one....But the b_tch wouldn't have it. She asked to speak to the manager and I tell her that I'm the manager (I'm the only employee in the store lol) but then she called me a liar...Eventually I say something to the effect of, "ma'am, I'm sorry, there is nothing that I can do and I'm currently helping other customers, have a good day." *click*
Unfortunately, the woman called back again...and again, and again. The customer I was helping decided to leave as she noticed the constant phone ringing...which pissed me off as this b_tch caused me to lose a potential sale. I think on the second or third phone call she started getting personal, calling me an idiot and a liar for the fact that I wouldn't give the owner (my dads) cell # to her. Finally she then said "I bet they pay you peanuts", to which I just started laughing and answering every thing she said with "Yup". I think that threw her off, as she finally hung up the phone after yelling a few more curse words at me.
Fast forward to the next day, my dad is at the store and the woman comes in. Her order arrived, and she picks it up...however, not before telling my dad that he should fire the "incompetent worker, who cursed and threatened me on the phone yesterday." My dad just laughed and said "I'll let my son know." Even after realizing that she had f_cked up, the b_tch still didn't have the nerve to apologize...but instead she told my dad he should forgive me LOL.
Yeah, I lucked out because it's a family business, but I can see how a rare c_nt like her can cause someone to lose their job...I've dealt with probably a thousand customers since then and have NEVER had a problem, but be wary, people like that do exist.Last edited by jmoh; 05-30-2013 at 01:06 AM.

I was an AT&T sales rep for about two years. There were countless issues of purely retarded customers that I can go into:
-Being called an idiot for not being able to warranty replace a phone when we don't do warranty swaps
-Demanding to know why Apple or Samsung didn't make their phones a certain way
-Having people saying I'm trying to rip them off because iPhone 5 has a different cable
Honestly there's more ridiculousness than I can remember.
However, one rustling incident stands above it all. I've actually made a thread about it before but it was deleted and I was banned for a week and mod negged because I used a word that refers to inner city folks.
An obese, middle aged woman stomped into my store demanding "Alright, who gon' help me?!" All my coworkers scurried away. The beast walked up to my manager and said "Which one of yo people are free cause I ain't tryna wait." My boss assigned her to me and I asked how I could help her. "I'm tryna make a payment."
Now we have been instructed not to take payments at the registers, and they're only to be done at the kiosks. I tell her how to make the payment and that I'd be happy to help her with the kiosk if she needs it. She snaps "I ain't tryna use that thing. If I was trying to, I woulda walked myself over there now wouldn't I have?"
My jimmies rustle in the breeze.
"Well ma'am, that's how we do payments. I'm sorry. As I said, I'll help you with it if you need it." She turns away and says she needs change. She holds up a five dollar bill and says "Gimme some damn singles." I take the bill, admittedly with a bit of attitude, and start walking towards my register. She goes "You didn't hafta grab it from me like that!" I reply "I'm sorry, that's just how I grab things." She starts yelling "Don't play games with me! I ain't as ignorant as you think I am. Boy."
Jimmies are on overload. I'm seeing red and there's pulsing in my ears. I decide not to even touch her. I am going to put the money on the counter and walk away. It's perfect because as I'm walking towards her she says "And don't phucking touch me. Put the money on the counter." I comply.
As I walk away I hear "B*tch."
A jimmie fuse blows.
I whirl around and start stalking towards her and yelling. "What the phuck did you just say to me?! Waddle out of my store right now you phucking fat b*tch."
The whale is stunned. "Whatchu say?" She stammers.
I lean into her and hiss "You're a phucking kunt."
My boss tells me to go in the back. I notice my register caught on a wire so I go to close it. As I walk to the back, she comes back with the most base insult a cretin like herself can make "Yo mama's a phucking fat bitch!"
My mother is in amazing shape so I laugh "You look like you ate my mama, you phucking fat whore." I went in the back; my boss follows and stares at me. I tell her "Do what you gotta do. I regret nothing" She never documents the incident and nothing happened to me.

I'm a stocker at a small Mexican market in the middle of the ghetto. I have to clean up after people constantly. I put up with the gangsters and crackheads that go there or hang around outside.
There's also a local drunk everyone knows named Jimmy who always stands outside asking people for a beer or food. My boss tells me I have to go get rid of him and he yells all kinds of chit back at me calling me a wetback. (Jakes on him I'm probably the only person working there that was born here) I just laugh cause he gets pissed off but still leaves. I'm a real life Jimmy rustler MISC

I'm rude back because I don't care if I get fired or not.
I pointed out the aisle that had the lube in it to some posh, fat bish who implied that I would never amount to anything so that she could shove the plant she was yelling about not being able to return up her arse. Should have seen her face...

Had a customer who wanted to make a return with no receipt.
Store policy was if no receipt we go by current selling price and put it on gift card/merchandise card.
Looked up the item and it had been discontinued THREE YEARS prior.
Told him his unused item, which retailed for like 15 bucks back then, was only worth $.12 now.
He proceeded to tell me how "moronic and unfair" that policy was because it was unused/still wrapped.
I told him I could give him store credit for the $.12 and he asked how I could sleep at night. (This is when I went from wanting to help to wanting to rustle jimmies)
He informed me that, "12 cents isn't much," and I should, "Just give it to him."
Told him if I gave him $.12 and the next customer $.13 and the next $.14 madness would ensure and before I knew it I'd be giving away thousands of dollars to customers because they felt slighted.
He asked to speak with manager, manager gave refund (12 pennies lolwut?)

Worked shoes in dept. store for 6 years, too many stories to post.
-Adults wanting their feet measured, not knowing their size or if a shoe fits.
-Returning obviously worn and old shoes and being mad at us.
-people treating the dept like a landfill. Throwing displays and boxes everywhere, leaving their garbage all over the place.
-Nobody ever reading ads, signs, or coupons properly. Every transaction resulting in a price dispute of some sort.
-People can't do basic math (50% off, etc.).
-Demanding random discounts, always want to speak with a manager.
-Much more that I'll post later.

I was working at ****ty Walmart at the time, I was a stocker for the Meat Department and this old black couple came up to me and asked if I had anymore of the Polish Sausage they came there specifically just to buy. So I begin walking to the department room to grab my inventory scanner when this while lady stops me and asks me for the location of the lunch meat, I try to tell her that I'm already helping other customers when the old black couple walks over to me and hollers out: "You racist mother****er!" (srs). They thought I was ignoring them to help the lady just because she was white, and they go on for a couple minutes all pissed and threatening to go get the manager.. I'm just sitting there in shock at what's happening. Feelsbadman when people accuse you of being racist and they don't know what's actually happening, but seniors.. what can you do?

worked retail 3 years, busy store - my favourite incident
-fat angry middle aged bish reads sign wrong
-buys like 20 cans of beans or some chit
-ask is she needs a hand packing, totally ignores me so I just scan and slide them to her
-looks at me in disgust: 'I aint gonna pack em myself am a? ken that's yur jobe' (typical uk fat council estate dweller)
-I think phuck you, and just start tossing her chit in, lol end up squashing her cakes by tossing tins on the top
-she gets mad and pulls her squashed up chit out the bag and starts to rage, i'm feeling cheeky now, she puts it in the bag herself
-other customers appear in the line behind her now
-I come out with 'mam, your cake IS sitting at the very top of the bag - look it's right there' (pointing at cake she put to the top herself)
-she rages, calls me a phucking monkey
-'Yet I'm still more evolved that you are'
bish throws a tin at my face, misses. Waddles to manager screaming about me, boss comes over, other customers tell her the customer was being a bish and I did nothing wrong.

Two stories that come to mind.
We lower our roller doors about 15 minutes prior to closing, was a pretty busy night and the last few customers were being served at around 9:00 (we close at 9:00) I was on registers going as quick as possible and saw a lady walking into the store, the girl on door let her know sorry we are already closed it's a few minutes after 9. Lady starts going on about how she needs to put a payment down on her lay by. Girl tells her sorry the Lay By office is completely closed and we're unable to process it at the registers. Lady starts going crazy and starts man handling the girl pulling her scarf and getting uncomfortably close to her face. Me and another worker come over to try calm her down, she starts yelling she wants a manager. Manager comes and apologises to customer and tells her she'll be able to do it over the phone (we don't do this normally) and told her she'd give her a discount next time she comes.
Next day manager tells everyone in meeting how much of a ****ing nut this lady was and how close she was to slapping her (manager is a woman) Strong wtf spineless beta female.
Apparently much worse/random shiet happens during the day, in the 2 or so years I've worked at given store we've had a person come and masturbate in the manchester section and some one take a poo on the floor also in the manchester section. Feel sorry for those poor full timers who deal with that kind of crap.
