Retail Sucks.

[amberghini]

Why are people so rude to retail workers? What did we ever do to you?

I had a woman pratically screaming at me today because we didn't have her specific item in stock. And then I offered to order it for her, and when she asked "how gawddamn much it'd be", I told her, and that set her off on another tangent on how our items were so high and some other random Angry Southern Woman jibberish, and then she started attacking my person.

I looked her square in the eyes and told her to go to Fred's, they would have items of her caliber there.

What causes people to do this? It's not just women, I've had men do this to me too. But this is getting old.

I don't get paid enough for this bullshit.

It sucks but it seems as though this is the nature of the beast these days......Some people go out with the sole intent on being shitty to others......

[BlkCD5]

it sucks to deal with ignorant ass people, but you got to learn to accept it in the industry. I've had a customer get all pissed cus we didn't have the right flavor of kool aid in stock. Laugh it off :goodjob:

[amberghini]

[BobbyFresco]

I agree...I think that everyone should have to work retail or some kind of service industry related job at least once in their lifetime.....

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

with a name like Boobs McGee, the customer would get what they want, ALWAYS.. :lmao:

[amberghini]

true!

excuses, excuses, thats all i hear, atleast u can drive, im going :crazy:

LOL. Fine, how about this? I work retail and I have no money for gas.

[amberghini]

AMEN. :goodjob:

[amberghini]

Only if the pay is good. :D

[sullen]

its just cause they're old people. hopefully none of us age like that.

[hydroshutter]

Been there, done that.

Sucks, just wait until there's something better out there and go for it.

[amberghini]

Seriously.

I've just gotta make it two more semisters, and I've pretty much have a job through this college program where I'm at.

[Leadfoot_mf]

because most retail workers are kids=kids suck at working=customers are pissed at you.

[amberghini]

lol. I'm not a kid, thankfully, but our customers have the intelligence of kids.

Not true all the time.....You seriously have people that make it their mission to be shitty to who they are dealing with and or try to score shit for free......

I bartended and served tables all the way through college and I have come across a lot of different people......People that would complain about the food and whatever else they could find to get free shit.....

It's the fucked up mentality that the customer is always right that causes people to do some of the shit they do......

yeah but those people are minorities.

[BobbyFresco]

yeah but those people are minorities.




LMMFAO.....Some are.... A lot aren't.....You'd be surprised as to who does what.....

[BB6dohcvtec]

yea i am sales and service specialist at a bank and before that i was a supervisor at kroger and i have to say that only like 35% of the minorities were this rude combined at both but they are also out to to do a little more than double that percent i gave you and thats how many minorities have tried to steal from kroger or try to do fraudulent activity at the bank. and this observation is coming from a minority.

[amberghini]

yeah but those people are minorities.

This was an older white woman, who looked like she had money, or thought she did.

[Leadfoot_mf]

okay i have had enough why do u guys have to turn everything into race by minority i meant not very many customers are dicks. damn wtf is wrong with u people.

[BobbyFresco]

This was an older white woman, who looked like she had money, or thought she did.


LOL....There goes THAT theory!!!!:lmfao:

[BB6dohcvtec]

This was an older white woman, who looked like she had money, or thought she did.

that is usually the culprit tho older white people. when i say older over 55.

[BobbyFresco]

OK, so I'm confused now.......

Your original answer to my post implied, at least to me, that you were saying that mostly minorities are guilty of complaining and or trying to get free shit....Am I mistaken?

[amberghini]

that is usually the culprit tho older white people. when i say older over 55.

Yeah, she was much older than that. She was probably dead.

[OneSlow5pt0]

Yeah, she was much older than that. She was probably dead.


:eek:

[BobbyFresco]

[Crazy Asian]

thats why i quit.

[BlkCD5]

my bad, just throwing out the possibilites on why she got mad. People can be very envious.

[Humphrizzle]

Fuck, I work at Aeropostale and people dont get attitudes with me because I guess I'm intimidating. I'm the only non-gay looking person there.

They ask me a question and I give them an answer and they move along.

I really hate it when people ask me if something is on sale when it says so on the table in front of them.

Customer: "Hello, are these t-shirts all 2 for $15?"

Me: "The sign says 'All graphic t-shirts 2 for $15'"

Customer: "Oh, okay."

Then I die a little inside.

[amberghini]

I wasn't even wearing anything low cut either... :thinking:

[Crazy Asian]

AHAHH Im 6'5 sometimes they really dont want my help. They look at me and run sometimes. LOLOLOL!!!!AHAHHAHA I love that. Though I hate it when gay guys are near me. They think Im gay so they assume it's okay to hit on. WTF!!!!!

For serious.

[Spectic Tank]

I don't get paid enough for this bullshit.

These kind of people were my only entertainment while working in retail. I enjoyed watching them get pissed at me and would try to antagonize them as much as possible. It was great when they would make a complete ass of themselves in public.

Granted if customers were nice and respectful I would go out of my way to help them. But if they weren't, I would do everything I could to keep them from getting what they wanted...with a smile and positive attitude of course:goodjob:

[Shawna]

get a new job

[Humphrizzle]

you're full of good information..

i'll only be there for another 2 weeks.. they never schedule me so i'll only work for like 5 more days

[Shawna]

^^^ I wasnt directing that towards you hun... I've worked retail b4 and I loved it

[Humphrizzle]

i bet i'd like it if my boss wasnt from like lebanon and spoke correct english.

[Shawna]

I love cough syrup.... ok im weird I know this.... haha I had an hr + drive to work everyday and some days I worked from 8am to 11pm and got paid shit but for some reason i liked it

[Humphrizzle]

i feel wierd there.

[Shawna]

Aw. Well, keep trying until you find a better job. Something more suited to your likes? I'm going to assume you like cars, so why not a car part place?
