In the fall and winter, they would try on dozens of coats, leave them unbuttoned and in a pile on the floor and in the spring they would pull the padding out of all the bikinis and leave swimsuits all over the fitting rooms. <BR/><BR/>When I worked at a clothing store, I was folding sweaters and a classmate from law school came in and messed up all my piles. BITCH! I will never forget that. That might be why it gave me such great pleasure to learn she had to take the bar exam THREE f@cking times! HA HA HA HA<BR/><BR/>Retail blows. Unfortunately, I'll probably have to go back to it again someday if things keep going like they have been. :(Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547648198382116917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18574314.post-86058097488198550082008-04-27T16:39:00.000-05:002008-04-27T16:39:00.000-05:00The word "homicide" comes to mind.Suddenly the old...The word "homicide" comes to mind.<BR/>Suddenly the old folks look very beloved to me.<BR/>I bet you get some of those in there. My grandmother was one of them. Shopping with her made me want to hide my head in a bag. First it took forever. Then she'd get up to the counter and take an eternity writing her check and argue with them when they asked for ID. I was 19 and dense enough to try and argue with her in the car.<BR/>"They asked you for it last time too, Grandma. Couldn't you just give it to them?"<BR/>"It's an insult! I've been coming to that store since it was built in 1955..."<BR/>Never mind.<BR/>When I worked in the restaurant I loved the asshats who came in 10 minutes before closing wanting a meal. Now I love it when people page me 10 minutes before the end of my shift. Couldn't y'all wait till the shift change and tell my day shift co-worker that you've been farting all night?? I'm drooling on my desk by now and want to go home, not spend the next half hour explaining to your ass that beans will do that!

WTF?! I think I actually said that out loud. Sure enough this woman and her kids were in front of me in line about 15 min later (the cashier told me after they left) because the woman was out of control. She was so out of it and crazily running around from customer service, to end of her cart, throwing her purse on the next cashier's check thru counter, of course she had some issue about pricing on an item and a coupon she couldnt use. <BR/><BR/>She was trying to collecti her kids and then leaving her empty grocery cart in front of mine to where I had to push it out of the way so I could be next in line. She was a mess and all of us were trying to figure out why.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18574314.post-43736011026146201182008-04-27T11:20:00.000-05:002008-04-27T11:20:00.000-05:00jez:im good at customer service and most of the ti...jez:im good at customer service and most of the time i like it..but some people make it really hard..especially the unruly kids..<BR/>bigtex: there is one lady who will not speak to me or inky..she brings her stuff up pays for it and leaves..if you try and make conversation, she absolutely refuses to talk, so i just keep talking, about the weather , the prices, the stuff she's buying, just to make it obvious that i know she's not talking to me and i could give a shit..<BR/>kali:some of the elderly customers i absolutely love..they are sweet and so appreciative of our help, we carry stuff to the car for them, tell them about sales, special prices etc, and they are just lovely..<BR/>nan:oh you can complain...ha..it just wont do any good..<BR/>rox:most of the times i like them, it's just those special ones that when they come in the door, you mutter 'oh fuckity fuck fuck fuck'...<BR/><BR/>kulkuri:pendejo is asshole...and cabrone is a literal I think translation of 'old goat' that has been bastarized into your father fucks goats..or at least that's what julio rodarte told me..yellowdoggrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14906624317290990109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18574314.post-30165432624908141782008-04-27T10:13:00.000-05:002008-04-27T10:13:00.000-05:00What are those phrases in Spanish??

Don't work in retail anymore, but I get to do the customer service thing talking to people at the branches all day long, and I swear, dealing with those people is worse than dealing directly with the clients would be. Part of the problem is that they know they're higher on the corporate pecking order than we are, and talk to us like they're at a drive-thru at McDonald's ordering a fucking hamburger. People smacking their gum or eating food while they're talking, flying off in a rage when you tell them that something can't be done...ugh. Customer service sucks balls.Big Texhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743787597827689808noreply@blogger.com
