The idiots are out today....
I don't know what it is about today, but i ran into three of the biggest dumbasses i've ever met while at work today (and one of them was my coworker.)
Idiot #1:
I'm ringing up this guy for some toilet paper holder replacement, and the total comes out to $12.71. The genius plonks down 3 rolls of DIMES onto my counter. Well, being that they're home-packed rolls, and my boss is standing over my shoulder, i tell him that i have to count them. All of them. He tells me "Oh no, they're fine." Well, i have to count them anyway, so i dump them out onto the counter and count away..and guess what!! ALL THREE ROLLS WERE WRONG. Bet you didn't see that coming. So i count out $12.80 in dimes and slide the rest back to him, drop them in the register and give him his $.09 in change. He proceeds to ask to speak to my manager because i "refused" to take his payment as he gave it to me. My manager asks me if i counted the dimes and were the rolls right...i say yes and that they were wrong, and manager says "well then i need to count them too"He stormed out
Idiot #2:
A woman came in looking for lisence plate holders, so i direct her to automotive. She shows back up a few minutes later with a pack, i ring her out, all is normal. Ten minutes later she's back at my counter telling me "My husband said not to get plastic"....so she heads off to the nuts and bolts isle and returns a few minutes later with different sized screws than the ones she just returned.I ring her out. Two hours later, she's back again! And this time she wants my manager! Apparently, she "attached" her lisence plate with screws that were WAY too small and now the plate has fallen off. She wants her money back and the store to pay whatever fees she incurs from getting a new tag. *sigh* And of course my manager caved.
Idiot #3:
We have a store policy that when you pay on a card, even if it's a debit card, and you return the merchandice, your money will only be returned to a card (doesn't have to be the same card) or store credit. A guy came in wanting a good $50 or so in cash from a sale he paid for on a debit card. I tell him I can't do it. He tells me "But i paid in cash!" "No," i say, "it says on your receipt you paid on a card." "oh," he says, "It was a debit, it's the same thing"....I tell him i can't give him cash back. he leaves. An hour later i answer the phone and ITS THE SAME GUY asking if i can give him cash for a debit card return. I give the same answer. One hour later he does it AGAIN. I continue to give him the same answer then and for the next TWO HOURS after that when he calls back. At what point do you get the damn message??
Idiot #4, my coworker:
My coworker shows up a few minutes early this morning and sticks his head into the store to ask if i want anything from the bagel place down the street. I tell him sure, toss him my keys, and tell him there's a $5 in my cup holder. He returns with my bagel, keys, and change. All is good. Then about an hour and a half later he walks outside, comes back in and says "Hey, i think i didn't close your door all the way, your dome light is on." I can't leave the register, so i toss him my keys and ask him to go close the door right, and to start the car just to make sure the battery is ok (i figure after only an hour i should be fine.) Well, he reappears and tells me the car won't start. He's totally panicked. I'm a bit freaked too, because there's no way that battery should be dead. I tell my manager it's an emergency and i need to go to my car, i run outside...and the car starts fine. Nothing wrong at all. My coworker is stunned. Has no idea why it wouldn't start for him but he swears up and down it wouldn't turn over.
Reps (for what mine are worth) if you can guess why it would start for me, but not him
So am i the only one being flocked with morons today??
