Customer service will make you extremely cynical and antisocial if you let it. The trick is to pretend all the customers are children so you don't get as angry at how dumb they can be

>>6584541
This story was actually from when I was back in high school so yeah now that I've had more part time jobs I definitely understand what you mean. You can't let some people get under your skin who treat you like trash, because they can.

>>6584546
The fastest way to piss them off is to just be nice as fuck while putting across the fact that you don't give a fuck about their situation. Some guy tried to start a fight with me after I did that. A 40 year old man had less self control than a 19 year old kid. People are weird

I used to work at Walmart as my first job. This is one of my favorite things

>started working there july a few years ago
>in my first month, some guy comes up and asks me "hey dude, where is the taco sauce?"
>I tell him isle 5
>"It's not there."
>go and ask another employee where is the taco sauce
>"Taco sauce? Man that's like some white taco bell shit"
>Shows me where, exactly where I told him
>Go and find the guy and show him where it is
>He looks at it for a few seconds
>"nah man, I mean the taco bell sauce."
>At this point I'm fucking dying but I go and check the back anyways
>tell him we are out
>Oh............................hey do you know any good guacamole recipes?

I think he was blazed out of his mind, but it was gr8

>>6584625
>having small landmasses surrounded by water inside your grocery stores
How terribly inconvenient.

>>6584612
Some people will try to tell you that with age comes wisdom. Those people are stupid.

>about 15/16 years old
>go out to the theater to see some play
>I'm in my Hot Topic phase so I'm wearing jeans and an Invader Zim t-shirt
>pair of middle-aged women sitting behind me
>they keep talking in the middle of the play
>have to turn around multiple times to glare at them, hoping they get the message
>they keep talking
>mfw even my dumbass teenage self was better-behaved than those women

people are pigs, plain and simple. i used to bag groceries when i was a kid and the holidays were the absolute worst, i felt more like a zookeeper than a grocery store worker. i also bagged groceries like i had extreme ocd and separated everything into neat little groups and people at that shit up and tipped me like a hooters girl.

>>6584642
>I'm in my Hot Topic phase so I'm wearing jeans and an Invader Zim t-shirt
why was this in your story?

>>6584691
To show how immature he was, but still behaved better than the cuts behind him

So is /ck/ just "shitty service jobs general" now?

>be kitchen porter
>African chef keeps trying to say he'll get me a cheap prostitute
>genuinely just no, even if I haven't had sex in like five years

I have a meeting with my supervisor and the house "organisational coach" about him over lunch on Friday.

was in a&p many years ago by the dairy aisle
rocking out with my headphones on
not really paying attention
crowd of about 6 people blocking what i need at the dairy section
waiting....waiting.....waiting....
they dont buy anything, not one of them picks out a single item from dairy section after like 7 or 8 minutes of just standing there
they finally walk away & i say too loudly because i have my headphones on, "fucking retards!"
turns out they were all actually retarded & were on some kind of field trip to the supermarket

>>6584694
jeans are immature?

>>6584707
>trip to the supermarket
Even if they are retarded, why to a supermarket?

>in america, you can get a job bagging people's groceries

what the fuck

>>6584715
Bagging is often only part of the most low level job you can hold in a grocery store. In Mexico, this job is often reserved for pre and very young teens

>>6584711
There's some cunty white woman who hosts trips to the Asian store by my apartment. She seems to get the most clueless Midwestern fucks possible to take up the maximal amount of space in a small store. Trips to the store are dumb, but not unheard of.

>>6584717
Odd

Cashier in supermarket here is also pretty much as low-level as you get but everyone bags their own groceries

>>6584637

>>6584719
Self bagging is usually reserved for discount stores like Food 4 Less and Winco

>>6584715
OP here, funny thing is anon I started as a "courtesy clerk" at the same grocery store before becoming a cashier. Basically, your main responsibility is bagging groceries but other than that you're everyone's bitch. You do what anyone tells you. It sucks.

>>6584709
They are if you bought them at hot topic

>>6584612
This is what I do. As they get angrier, I get politer and sweeter to the point where I sound like a preschool teacher. I also work way, way more sloooooooooowly. They can't do anything. What can they do? Complain that I was too nice? It's hilarious because they either don't know what to do or my niceness makes them even angrier (trying to get a reaction out of me).

The other thing I do is act oblivious. "I don't know" or "Oh, I didn't see that" works great.

Age doesn't mean anything. I've seen older guys through a hissy fit like a toddler over the most insignificant stuff. Grow up, it's not a life-or-death decision here. Oh no, we are out of A product. Boo-hoo.

>>6584711
>>trip to the supermarket
>Even if they are retarded, why to a supermarket?
its behavioral training to try and get a few of them to be self sufficient. I used to run into this whenever I would shop on thursdays at my usual place

>>6584746
I didn't know hissy fits were transparent.

>>6584711
The old grocery store I worked at had a group of retards come in a couple times a week to clean stuff.
Me and my friends called them the dream team.

Not a grocery store story but

>work at Pizza Hut
>Go into store on my day off to drop off my key b/c that nights manager needs to borrow it
>Store is slammed full dining room full carry out area and phones ringing off the hook
>There is this bitch standing at the counter screaming at my fellow manager about how we don't have any plastic silverware for her to take
>She wants to take our real silverware for the dining room and says she'll call corprate and get all the workers fired b/c her kids cannot eat their food.
>I step in and ask her to please come down and that I understand that it would be very difficult for her hungry children to eat pasta without a fork
>Bitch screams I didn't order and fucking pasta how the fuck are my kids going to eat pizza with out a fork and knife
>Whole store is dead silent except for the sound of the oven and phones ringing
>I give her an are you fucking kidding my type stair and politely ask her to leave
>she goes to open her mouth again and another customer cuts in and says "lady you should leave this guy can call the cops and get you dragged away infornt of your kids"
>I just pick of the phone and pretend to dial a number
>Bitch puts on this Oh fuck look and runs out the door with her food
> I go home and wonder how some adults can act so childish
>Oh I was also 19 years old at the time

>front end manager at walmart
>hear a customer giving one of my cashiers shit
>walk over "Hey there, whats going on?"
>customer freaking out over the price of a dog sweater that rang up $10 too much
>No problem ma'am, let me run back and re-check that price for you
>go back to pets
>there it is, exactly the price it rang up
>take out my phone, snap a picture just in case
>back to the front
>Actually ma'am, it was indeed the price it rang up, i'm sorry.
>she puffs up like a fucking peacock
>ARE YOU CALLING ME A FUCKING LIAR
>Not at all, ma'am.
>show her and her husband the picture I took on my phone
>she's not impressed
>YOU OBVIOUSLY CHANGED THE PRICE BEFORE YOU TOOK THE PICTURE. FUCK THIS GODDAMN STORE ect..
>she grabs her shit and storms out
>mfw
I don't even know why I took this job.

>>6584783
That's an interesting story and all, but are you drunk or retarded? Just curious.

>>6584793
neither I just type way to fast and don't really care about spelling or grammatical errors on an image board

>used to work as a cashier at Target
>summer time
>everyone is sweaty
>woman comes into my line wearing a low-cut tank top and short shorts
>no purse
>I ring up her items and tell her the cost
>she pulls a twenty out of her sweaty cleavage and hands it to me

I left after two weeks.

>>6584612
Hah. I love this shit.
The more polite and quiet you get with them, the louder and more pissed off they get. Its like they just 'want' you to get into an argument with them, and I refuse to give them the satisfaction.

Don't get me wrong, I love my customers. I'll bend over fucking backwards to help you out as much as can. Thats my job.
But as soon as you start getting rude and nasty? Nah. Fuck that shit. We're done here. Heres the corporate number. Enjoy your gift card. Get out.
I don't enjoy doing it, but I don't get paid near enough to stand there while some cunt bellows at me.

>>6584790
A cashier refused to sell me booze at Walmart because she overheard me say, "My friend will like the beer I picked." She said she doesn't know how old my friend is, so no sale. I'll never be back.

>>6584637

Wait, what the fuck are isles called in Britland? Is there a different term? Are you fucking with me?

WHAT DO YOU KNOW THAT I DON'T

>>6584793
Well he was a "manager" at Pizza Hut. Of course he's retarded.

>>6584830
While isles are isles and aisles are aisles, isles and aisles are different. ;^)

>>6584805
At first I thought this was going to be a clever retelling of John Updike's "A&P."

>>6584827
Sucks, but she was just protecting her job.
For all she knew, you could be an undercover guy trying to bust her ass, and she was just trying to avoid the fine/possible prison time/unemployment that it would've brought.

>>6584830
aisles are called aisles everywhere

>>6584827
Meanwhile, at Hy-Vee:

>buying a six-pack of beer and a giant bottle of tequila
>look like I'm twelve, people always ask me what grade I'm in (I'm 27)
>go to check out
>there are three people standing behind the counter, one of them a manager
>not one of them asks to see my ID

This has happened multiple times. It seriously pisses me off. We have a big problem out here with kids dying in drunk-driving accidents.

>>6584844
>>6584858

Haha, turns out I'm retarded!

>>6584842
Fuck you bud
I am most certainly not retarded.
I am very sorry that my green text story did not utilize proper spelling and grammar.
I have brought shame upon myself for not watching what I type like a hawk because this shit really matters to faggots like you.

>>6584871
lol it's fine bb

>>6584874
jfc why are you so buttmad bb

>>6584874
Looks like he hit a sore spot. You're a real tard.

>>6584864
In my early 20's I used to smoke, and i'd always have my ID out and ready for the cashier.
Sometimes they'd ask for it, but other times they wouldn't, and i'd be yelling at them internally.
>IF I WAS A COP YOU'D BE LOSING YOUR SHIT. ID ME, BITCH.
When I was a cashier, i'd ID everyone, every time, no exceptions. Better safe than fired.

>>6584808
I worked with a waiter that was a master of baiting assholes into full rage mode. His best line was "whatever I can do to make your dining experience pleasurable" but would do so in a very sarcastic way.

>I demand to see the manager
>yes ma'am can I help you
>I want that waiter fired etc etc etc
>now what did he say?

It always ended there, and they knew they had been beat. He was a good eat waiter and made it up from his other tables in sympathy money alone.

>>6584854
I don't think that's illegal, against store policy perhaps. Either way, it's none of their business what I do.

>>6584889
>master of baiting
heh

>>6584864

You're mad about this? Every time I go into to a local Hy-Vee to buy booze, I get carded no matter what. Even if it's cashiers who have seen me buy beer before. I'm 25 and still get carded for cigarettes.

>>6584880
I am pretty butt mad about this because I just got laid off from that pizza hut due to our rent increasing over 300%
And I've been getting too much shit from fucking rich snooty restaurant owners telling me that I belong at McDonalds.
I had one guy tell me that I should never lie on a job application because pizza hut is not considered experience apparently

>>6584889
Sometimes it pays to be an overly nice person at work.
Once you get so many customers saying how nice and polite you are, and what great customer service you provide ect.. you're pretty much immune to corporate/manager backlash from the shittier customers.
One of the best complaints I ever received, and I shit you not, was that
>He smiles too fucking much.
A customer honestly, seriously complained that I smile too much.
>mfw my boss told me that
Excuse the fuck outta me for enjoying my job. Not everyone needs to be miserable just because your life is shit.

>>6584912
I would laugh so hard.

>he said he will do whatever possible to make me happy
>and what's the problem again?
>well it's how he said it
>I'm so sorry ma'am, can I offer you a free dessert?

The impotent rage at the end is the best, we would go out drinking afterwards and make customer service jokes all night.

>>6584890
Its called a '3rd party sale'. If you know (or suspect) that the alcohol being purchased is for someone else who could even possibly be underage, you gotta deny it.
Its none of thier business at all what you do outside the store, but if your 'possibly' underaged friend had gotten drunk and something happened to them, the cashier would've been completely, legally liable for it.
Its all kinds of fucked up

>Come in store at 6am
>Open at 8:30
>Run shitload of stock
>Always cleaning, re running stock throughout the day, on and off registers depending on how many customers
>Manage to get off registers, a hundred things to do.
>Three feet from back door into stock room(which also contains cleaning supplies)
>Woman stops me, tells me there's a spill.
>"Okay, I'll get to it"
>Guess I could have used politely language or talked slower or thanks her for telling me (on a side note, customers getting irrational if they slip or even see a spill, when they don't even consider that firstly spills are always caused by customers and that if nobody tells us they're present we can't know of their existence. Its literally the most irrational response like how the fuck could I have cleaned a mess I'm not aware of. People usually calm down when you explain basic logic to them, but its sad that people thinking through their buttflustered complains before they open their mouths is too much to ask) but I just really fucking NAD as million things to do in a short time and I was heading towards mops any way so the quicker I get out of the conversation, the better.
>"Wow, he was so rude!" She says to a customer because I didn't personally thank her or stop to talk.
>Customer she was talking to was my mother

>>6584949
You are bad at telling stories. Would have been better if the second customer was a velociraptor.

>Customer hands in car keys
>"Oh, okay. Well they won't get far without them, I'm sure they'll be back, haha"
>"YOU COULD AT LEAST SAY THANK YOU!"
>"But... They're not my keys?"
She didn't even respond. She just pulled this horrible face.

What did I do wrong, bros? Did she only do the good deed to be rewarded and make herself feel better. I mean, I'd been working all day. If someone leaves their keys behind, I don't want them to be sad and upset, but it's their problem. Like I don't want bad things to happen to people, I just kind of don't care one way or the other so it didn't even occur to me to say thank you to this woman for solving the problems of someone I don't even know. To be honest, I thought informing her that stuff like this has happened before and that due to the nature of car keys, her good deed would make the person happy and that had been enough. Should I have done more?

>>6584846
It pretty much is. Great story. Good taste, Anon.

I used to work at a lasertag arena and it worked in a way that people book a time slot and usually play for 90 minutes then get food and do birthday cakes.

>Party arrives on time
>Brief kids, give out kit etc etc
>Go out and play for 90 minutes, all goes smooth
Parents have a choice to come out and watch or stay in their party room these parents stayed in
>Im bringing in the kids after 90mins
>Get to the room and she rushes up to me and tells me to hurry up and get the kids their food because parents are arriving to collect them
>Im confused and ask why they are so early as we gave her the timings that kids would be completely finished by
>She tells me that she told the parents the pickup time was half an hour before the actual finish time
>We end up with a load of parents standing around waiting
>The main parent then keeps complaing to us that we were to slow to bring food out and breif the kids at the start
>Shes red faced and sweaty by the time the party leaves
>Ends up leaving a 1* trip advisor review blaming us for being slow when she told parents to come to early

Upside of this job is that everyone gets along and we get to muck around with paintball, laser tag and airsoft guns

>>6584535
It's not arrogance that made her double down on her retardation.

She truly believes that it was broken. You could have taken her there and had her do it herself and it would have just magically fixed itself. She truly believes it's broken. And nothing anyone can say or do will change that.

Im sure there's a word for it but i don't know

>>6584805
faggot. I wouldve took that $20 bill to the bathroom and fapped to it.

>>6584890
this >>6584928

in many places it is 100% illegal to put a sale through if the customer has given you reason to believe they will be sharing with someone whose id you can't check. sucks for everyone involved, but c'est la vie.

>>6584864

>>6584949
>>Guess I could have used politely language or talked slower or thanks her for telling me (on a side note, customers getting irrational if they slip or even see a spill, when they don't even consider that firstly spills are always caused by customers and that if nobody tells us they're present we can't know of their existence.

Some people are only motivated by selfish desires, the worst of that bunch will lie, cheat and steal to make themselves feel better, the honest ones will seek out affirmations from others.

>>6585134
Even if it's their mom?

Why can't it just be "given you reason to believe they will be sharing with someone underage"?

To keep it somewhat food related, I work in a deli and it's fucking awful.
I'd say 7 times out of 10 whenever you go to a deli, they're either disgustingly understaffed or there's just one person there. I'm supposed to be working part-time, but I'm getting up to 40 hours. Normally that'd be pretty good, but I HATE anything customer service related. Especially when we're expected to do up to four things in between customers.

Also, if you EVER come up to a deli five minutes before they close, I hate you. You are worse than Hitler.

>>6584704
Sounds like a bro, why you being a cunt to him. Just say "no thank man not for me!" If you get bro African chef fired he's just gonna go out and nig his way over town

>>6585294
Yeah? Literally every supermarket deli in my area that isn't Pathmark (because they're shit), Superfresh (because they're also shit/same company as Pathmark) or Food Basic$ (also shit/same company) are heavily staffed, especially Shoprites. One Shoprite in my area seems like it has no fewer than a dozen people working the deli at any given time.

>>6585316
We have both a food service section and a deli section that are connected, and we only have about 10 people on the schedule for both sections. Plus, one employee only works on Sundays, and another we only give one day because they kept calling out so much we got fed up with it. It's fucking ridiculous since stuff that should be getting done never gets done. Sometimes the food service person disappears and when you're all alone in deli and someone comes up to food service for a sub, you are beyond fucked. I've made people wait 20 minutes for subs because of how busy it gets. Closed up alone, customers steady until 9PM, being alone in a deli is hell.

>>6584928
This. Not only is it illegal in many places to sell alcohol if you have any reason to suspect it might be resold/given to someone underage, but often the person who sold it is completely responsible for anything that happens as a result. Can lead to huge fines or prison time.

>"Ma'am, do you have anything smaller?"
>'Well, that's f'd up, it's currency, why can't you take it, it's money, fuck you, it's money"
>"Ma'am, I don't have change."
>>>Pays with a $5

I worked at a grocery store for like 3 years during high school, and then went back after college until I found a "real" job. Most fucking fun I've ever had working.

>oops, this is damaged, guess we can eat it
>routinely fire off jars of baby food at the brick wall in the back
>be nice to all deli/bakery bitches and get free wings/donuts whenever
>always help the alcohol distributors and get free shit
>end up being friends with store manager and basically do nothing all shift except bullshit with him and the cashiers
>be promoted to "dairy manager" so all I do is hang out in the cooler and use the ordering machine

I fucking wish I still worked there. Yeah, it wasn't the best paying job, but I made alot of friends and had a shit ton of fun.

>>6584715
>>6584719
>>6584734
Besides putting in 20 hours a week at my high school's bookstore, I did 30-40 hours at my Safeway as a courtesy clerk. Basically, our duties go something like

>Bag
>Escort customers to their car.
>Get the carts from the parking lot. Yes, they're fucking 50 meters out, go get them.
>Take out the trash.
>Put the shit back that the customers no longer want.
>Clean up the shit that customers spill.
>Direct customers to their products.
>Sweep the store twice an hour, clocking in that you checked the entire store for spills so customers can't sue.
>Zone the store, make sure all the products face forward.
>Get price checks, get shit from the aisles the customers want to exchange.
>Stock freezers
>Stock in general

I quit after they notified HR that I was eating banana cream pie that was thrown in the back room, set to be taken to the dumpster. Then I worked at a Walmart on Campus for dumbfuck uni kids by ASU, and that sucked, despite it being relatively small and the size of a gas station. It was only 7 of us and we all did everything, zone, inventory, picks, drops, receive pallets, ship pallets, etc.

My worst experience was at Safeway when I worked Christmas. So many customers complimented me on my checking skills. I fucking plowed through like 20 items in no more than a minute, it was wild.

My manager was a bitch, as most grocery store managers are for whatever reason.

>>6584541
But I beat my kids when they say stupid things

>>6585292
because then everyone buying for someone else would be buying for their "mom". like i said, the law sucks for everyone involved, but not much to do but write your congressional representative/senator/governor/mayor.

>>6585549
Then you're a bad parent

>>6585568
Sounds like you're looking for a beating

>>6584827
Oh, it's you again, whining about a cashier following the law and doing her job.

mfw every single time someone challenged me on a price at the line I just gave them the price they wanted because who cares

>>6584928
Which would make sense if there was any cause for suspicion at all. Most people's friends are around their own age.

Or are you saying it's illegal to sell alcohol that might possibly be ever given to a third party? Sales must be pretty shit around Christmas.

>>6585594
I love you

>Waiting in line at store.

>Extreme couponer.
>Slow as fuck.
>Haggles over every coupon.
>She takes 10 minutes.
>Stench is so bad it HURTS.
>Finally get my things checked out and get the fuck out of there.

I saw that as soon as I was leaving the store they straight up threw the cat lady out.

I can't properly describe that stench to do it justice. Imagine just dumping out four full litterboxes onto the floor and then ROLLING in the clay, urine and feces.

I really wanted to snap that fucking couponer's neck more though for trapping me.

>checking out at the grocery store

Seriously, though, kids cannot identify vegetables for shit. One time I was buying some jalapenos and the checker rang them up as green beans.

>Working at store

>moved it back and explained

>"but i'm blind"
How the fuck did this nigger move the sign, even know what it said? even make it around the store? I am confident he was blind after he mentioned it, but sheet my reaction was abort mission before my manager fired me for laughing at a blind guy

Dear Safeway employee(s) last week,

I am sorry for projectile vomitting in the aisle,on part of the shelf, and again in front of the exit not long after eating a full lunch.

I got a stomach flu that came immediately without warning.

-anon

>One time I was buying some jalapenos and the checker rang them up as green beans.

>>6585637
>Seriously, though, kids cannot identify vegetables for shit
Holy fuck, this. I worked at a grocery store in high school and as soon as people found out that I knew what vegetable was what I was just fucking bombarded with requests to identify shit.

Ah yes good ol americans...

Always behind the rest of us, just like an inferior being the fat cunt will first turn to violence when faced with any issue.
This happens because of their lack of complex problem solving skills and lower intelligence.

Yeah, I was gonna fucking say. Hy-Vee around here is strict as shit. They kept denying me booze because my ID was a few weeks expired. Only grocery store with a good beer selection around here, so I had to slum it at the Paki shop by the freeway while my new license was coming in the mail.

I once got some garlic at the store. The stoner kid at the register knew what garlic was, but then he started ruminating out loud "where does garlic even come from, mann?"

I work at a casino now. One of my biggest peeves is all the rick fuckers complaining(/bragging) about all the money they've blown here like my poorfag ass is even remotely capable of empathizing with someone who just threw away the equivalent of my entire life's savings in an hour.

>food service is separate from deli
You mean the area with like dinner plates and shit like that is separate from the area that cuts meat for sandwiches, yeah?
At the Shoprite nearest me, they most certainly are separated. That's the one with the dozen workers at any given time. It has the two areas separate. And I do mean separate. With a wall and everything.
There's another Shoprite only a little further away (mile and a half in the opposite direction v a mile and a quarter in the first; people around here call this other Shoprite the "good" Shoprite, though I like the "bad" one in about equal measure) where the two areas are combined as you describe, and seems goddamned hellacious to customer and worker alike. It comes across as really rather disorganised and anarchical.
There are about sixty kajillion independent delis around the corner from me in any given direction, and they never seem anywhere near as chaotic as the "good" Shoprite.

First off, you weren't. I was here 15 minutes ago. Second, I was called 15 minutes before that. So even if I believe you, it just means you were in the room, and too stupid to notice it was flooding.

Fuck.

My boss later told me that the repairmen hadn't even come yet, so some asshole just went "Huh, this machine is unplugged. Rather than ask the maintenance guy, or the on-site guy, I'll just plug it back in."

I had a strange experience once while shopping with my dad in Phoenix, AZ.

>small grocery store

>dad is like WTF?

>line of people behind us getting mad
>he takes me with him and tells me to touch as much beer as possible
>i walk down the aisle and touch every can, bottle and case of beer
>dad informs cashier of what I did as we leave

I know they probably sold it anyway, but my dad just wanted to make a point about their asinine law/policy. Anyone ever heard of this?

>>6586779
>Anyone ever heard of this?

No, it sounds stupid as hell. I'm guessing it was probably a misunderstanding by the clerk.

>>6584707

>retard speaks, "do you need this?" offers the used paper towel to me

>say no thank you, don't dry hands, just escape bathroom quickly

Why do they let these things in public? Every time I see one i lose my appetite and just want to gtfo the store as quickly as possible. They should be put down like the defects they are.

>>6586779
i was buying beer with 2 underage cousins and was refused because they rightfully thought i would share . so they waited out in the car and i went to a different cashier

>>6586779
I've actually had something similar to this happen. My husband and I went to a convenience store down the street and I carried the alcohol up to the register (He had a few 2ltrs in his hands) He got ready to pay but they asked for my ID. I didn't have it so they wouldn't sell it to us even though he showed them his ID and said we were married it was so stupid.

some people are so awful at handling their emotions it's truly sad. Idk what set this guy off or if he carried some baggage into the store, but he was looking for an argument and I just wasn't going to give him one.

>There are people openly smoking pot like ten feet away, but you won't take my $7 because I don't look like an old man?

Random people smoking pot won't get them in trouble. Selling to potentially underaged drinkers will.

This. I've been accused so many times of enjoying my job too much/loving my job, which is true. I also had 'too many' compliments, apparently, that my boss asked my if I was telling customers to go out of their way and call them because they just HAD to inform him about how great I am. Psh, he's just used to shitty employees is all, but it seems to be fine now.

>>6584541
This fucking anon right here. You are a Zen Master.

>>6584711
Worked at a store where a handler or two would come in with 4-8 of them a couple times a week.
They would each buy something.

>FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

This is a sports bar so the kitchen is a huge ass walk and we happened to be shortstaffed so I was running food while doing this, god bless customer service

>>6584962
Some people just expect you to say that to them, once I had a woman freak out on me because I nodded and "mm-hhhmd" instead of saying "you're welcome" in response to her. It's like when people ask how you're doing but couldn't give less of a shit.

>>6587539
That must be a pretty scarely enforced rule, because I've never heard of it

I remember being a wee babby at the beer store with my dad carrying all his beer for him whenever we went there

>>6586132
That probably means they didn't feel comfortable giving a reference because you were shit

>>6587549
>I also had 'too many' compliments, apparently
I got that when I worked at a library. I literally just worked hard and was nice to customers, it was a part time job yo help pay for school so it's not like it's my passion in life or anything.

>>6584541
..What do you do if you let it do that to you already?

>>6584912
>Sometimes it pays to be an overly nice person at work.

I work as a busser and I've had multiple servers stop me and just throw me $5 or $10 on the side because "I don't give them bullshit and I get it done".

Hell looking at the tipouts I'm either getting the largest portion of the tips or I'm tied with the highest, I don't even try that hard, everyone else is just that fucking bad apparently.

>I also had 'too many' compliments, apparently, that my boss asked my if I was telling customers to go out of their way and call them because they just HAD to inform him about how great I am.

There's just so much mediocrity in the world that people have come to expect it. So when someone comes along who's actually good at something, they get suspicious. It happened to me all the time in school. I had several teachers tell me that I was using big words just to show off, and one time a teacher accused me of plagiarism because my essay on Hamlet "sounded familiar". If you're even slightly above average at something, stupid people are going to assume that you're somehow cheating.

You are an idiot for not putting a sign out to say the room is out of bounds as it flooded. Also you should of had a sign on the unplugged machine to say do not use if unplugged.

Seriously how stupid can you be ?

>>6587775
My favorite is when a customer acts like a complete cunt to you because of some bullshit, and then tries to strike up a pleasant conversation with you like nothing happened. Probably just some tactic so they can feel even more butthurt that I'm suddenly not in the mood for pleasant conversation.

>>6587921
>I had several teachers tell me that I was using big words just to show off
God I'm fucking raging. Teachers that encourage mediocrity should be ashamed of themselves.

My favourite thing to hear when doing customer service was "I wanna speak to the manager"

I was a polite, reserved kid who always felt shitty even when I was in the right. My manager would cuss them out for being useless fucking deadbeats, humiliate them in front of the entire store and call the cops as soon as there was any hint of belligerence

Are you being retarded on purpose?

>>6586132
My work had this retarded policy where they aren't allowed to give references in the traditional sense. You can put them down on the resume, but when they are called they can literally only confirm that yes, you worked there once upon a time. fucking useless. I was a model employee for three years but not like anyone will back it up for me when I start looking for a new job.

>>6586138
>not having generators in the store

>>6586679
we had 17 where I worked, but we had to bag the items as well. I think the highest I ever got was 25.

>>6587126
most likely because they figure you could pass it off to someone else to use once your new ID came in. Girls at my uni would do something similar all the time; if they had an underage friend that looked similar enough to them they'd lend them their spare ID (one would get in the bar with a health card and the other with a driver's license for example).

Completely off topic but I just had to respond that you are a retard. Bachelors degrees are increasingly necessary to anything but the lowest grunt work. If you go to an excellent school you can major in anything and ppl will hire you, if not then study what that school teaches well.

Here in Florida it only matters if there's other people with you on the property (e.g. in your car). If you're going to be sharing with someone somewhere else the store has no obligation to refuse the sale (assuming you haven't specifically told them you're gonna share with someone underaged).

That being said, a lot of cashiers are uptight, paranoid assholes about this shit and will refuse the sale if they even think you have friends.

In college, both I and my roommate waited tables at Waffle House. We both frequently worked night shifts (at different Waffle Houses, there's 2 in our town), so we got a shitton of drunk people. 90% of them were awesome, funny, and tipped great.
10%...not so much.
>be 1am, the place is hopping and full up cause we're one of the few places still open with the bars starting to close up for the night soon. It's me, the cook, and one other waitress. So we're busy as fuck. Some dude comes in and orders something to go - something not on the menu. So I have to go look at the ala cart menu taped to our breakroom door to add up all the shit he wanted. We didn't have a fancy register...we had to write down prices and calculate by hand. Anyway, it took me a minute cause I had to find the prices...no one ever orders a bunch of random shit ala cart so I didn't have the prices memorized. I guess I took too long for his liking and he started screaming and cussing. Then he went silent for a moment, looks me dead in the eyes and says "I'm sorry, I am highly intoxicated"....ooook.

In high school, I worked in a gas station. Didn't have that many issues.

>The gas pumps are prepay...either slide your credit/debit card at the pump or come in and prepay cash. Simple enough.
>The register is ding, ding, dinging, signalling someone is trying to pump gas but has not prepaid, and thus is not getting any gas - say over speaker "Our pumps are pre-pay, you can use your card at the pump or prepay with cash inside. Thank You"
>Man gestures wildly at me. I ignore it.
>Man comes in, pissed as fuck, and DEMANDS I turn the pump on for him. We sometimes turn the pumps on for regulars, but this was some out of state dude, not a regular.
>I tell him I cannot, our pumps are prepay.
>He cussed and says "WELL FUCK YOU, I'LL GO SOMEWHERE ELSE."
>See him go down the street nextdoor to Pilot gas station....that is also prepay.

Then the one....
>Old lady in car pulls up at pump. It looked like there had been a fucking FIRE in her car, all the windows and stuff had black soot on it (not tinted windows).
>She comes in and says card wont scan. It's common, the pumps were old and card reader on this was shit. In these cases, we hold onto their card while they pumped gas.
>She pumps gas and promptly drives off
>Try to run card. Declined.
>Have to call police and file police report.
>Cop says "We'll keep an eye out and look for her....my guess is she's at Walmart" ....wut

I worked there for a year. When I quit cause I was going to college, my boss who had treated me like shit goes "You are one of the best employees I've ever had." ..I was like "Eh? Why?" .."Because you showed up on time and didn't steal" ...dem high standards. Then again, I opened the store some days (by myself), had the keys and codes to security system...and I was in fucking high school. Lol. Everyone else who worked there was not dependable or just fucking stupid, so she had me opening and closing by myself often enough,

>mfw I tell her I am the Duty Manager

>>6585479
>My manager was a bitch, as most grocery store managers are for whatever reason.
Yeah, why is this? Is it just because so many higher ups are breathing down their neck?

At my old safeway a guy punched a customer and later on got promoted to Deli Assistant Manager. He said it was out of self defense but he was well known for antagonizing customers all the time and literally chasing people out of the store.

Why the fuck do people hate taking their ID out of their wallet so much? I work at a casino and deal with this shit every day. We're going to need all your info if you want to cash a check either way; you might as well let me scan it the damn thing instead of making me try to slowly transcribe it through the your wallet's cloudy plastic. I only make exceptions for extremely arthritic old ladies any more.

>>6584827

i had to provide id along with my wife today at walmart when buying some liquor. asked what that was about and they said because they just got dinged for selling to minors.

he didnt laugh when i asked if they needed to see my newborn's id but i thought it was funny (along with him being a middle aged man working as a cashier).

>>6586779
went to a bottle shop here in aus with 4 mates. one of us (the oldest by about 3 years) forgot his id, so we left. me and him came back about 3 hours later with different people. same guy was working there, and wouldnt sell it to us because he didnt see the ID of the people we were there with previously. we never went back.

I worked at a grocery store (Publix, which goes above and beyond to make sure the customer is happy even if they're lying about returning shit just to get money) and towards the end of my tenure there, anything that rang up without a price would just end up being me going, "How much would you pay for this? $___? That sound okay?"

Most of the time the customer would reply, "Yeah, that's fine." I was usually in the ballpark when I back later and looked the price. There were, however, a few times where I was about $5-$10 off.

You win some, you lose some. I didn't really care at that point. I was five years into the job and wanted the fuck out of there.

Working at a store that emphasizes customer service makes the customer think that they can shit on your face and you're still somehow wrong if you don't smile and say, "My pleasure."

On the positive side, I met some pretty good people that I still keep in touch with to this day. The job was fucking shitty but the people I worked with were cool... except the dude in dairy. Fuck that guy.

>>6584790
I actually found taking pictures of price tags to be hugely effective. I was a customer service manager for the largest grocery store in town and once I showed them the price tag and/or compared the scanning numbers they were shut the fuck down.

Over the 3+ years I was a cashier, I never had any issue with my till. And we did checks after every shift.

I was more lamenting the fact that I was a) social awkward and, b) bad at math when given a number in front of me. I could do it in my head before I entered the final price to open the drawer. But, for some fucking reason, after I hit that button and a customer tried to give me change, my brain just completely melted. I don't know if that's just a me thing or what but I do know some of my coworkers also had that issue as well; even if only a few.

>>6594354
I really, really hated that shit when I was a cashier.
The math wasn't tough, but it was a pain in the ass because it broke your concentration and that 'zone' you get into when you've got a long line of people.
Also fuck those quick change artists who try to get you to break one bill, then another, then give you a few more for this one instead, knowing you're in a hurry and just trying to get them out of your fucking line.

The first and *only* time I've ever been asked for ID was when I was 24. I was buying booze with 4 girls (my GF and her friends) who were all 19 (legal here).

None of them got asked, but I did. We all thought this was hilarious and then I realised, actually, I don't have any ID on me. Laughed even harder at this. Guy behind the counter felt like total goose at this point and just let me buy my Jack D after all.

Seriously, it's weird as shit. We don't even have that as a thing next door in Canada (though we're a bit more "advanced"; we've been able to buy soda at a machine and pay with our phones for a few years now, and Americans still don't have chips widely used in their cards).

How do americans use their cards? just swiping/signing?

Does this mean they don't have contactless either?

>>6594657
>Does this mean they don't have contactless either?
We do, it's just not very common yet.

>>6594657
>Does this mean they don't have contactless either?

They honestly don't. My wife is American and every time we go to visit her parents it's like stepping back in time.

In Canada, my bank's phone app. nativelky supports NFC payments, which I can use virtually everywhere, because we've had tap-to-pay for...I can't even remember it's been so long.

In the States? I have to swipe - SWIPE - my fucking credit card, don't need to give any sort of PIN, and sign a piece of paper.

It's insane how back-asswards they are.

>>6584535

the banks would rather throw out fraudlent charges than upgrade equipment

>>6594695
See, this argument I've never understood.

People (Americans) keep telling me that if they start using chips and such in their country, then any fraud will be the responsibility of the cardholder, which makes no fucking sense. If you have chip, tap-to-pay, or whatever else, it's still on the bank. If you tell them something's a fraudulent charge, they refund it and investigate further.

Just because your card becomes more secure and convenient doesn't mean you lose all protection against theft. Why the Hell would it?

Good times

The media is on the side of all the people who are scared to even say the word knife. They dont want the shitstorm that you see in the Idependent, for selling kids a pumpkin carving set

>>6594739
*independent

>>6594739
That's what I'm saying.

They're going overboard on the interpretation because they don't want bad publicity from some liberal rag for selling disposable party cutlery to kids, not because they believe that's what the law means.

>"this is stupid, let me talk to your manager!"
What would happen if you told her to fuck off after that?

>>6594726
Yes. It's a service that is provided to consumers and falls under retail.

If the manager asks a customer to leave the store and they refuse then they are technically trespassing
And in my experience cops love arresting people for trespassing.
Once late night I was walking home and cut thru a park to save time. As I was exiting a cop rolled down the street stopped me and threatened to arrest me. The only I reason I got away was because I flashed him my PBA card.
But this might be because I live in a small town with too many cops so they jump at the opportunity to do anything no matter how trivial.

When someone asks for a manager, you give them the manager, as this makes them feel like they're getting progress and will calm them a bit.
Then the manager will either appease them, ending the situation, or rebuke them, causing them to either shut down or explode.

If they explode then they're going to jail, otherwise the situation has been resolved.

Generally refusing them the manager just makes them angrier and paints you as an agitator as far as your manager's view of the situation goes, making it more likely you'll be disciplined and the manager will bend policy to appease the customer.

How long ago were you in college

I've kinda assumed that by now any place that sells food and wants to have a serious business has a POS system

>I've never been to a Waffle House.

>>6594751
I would have probably gotten fired. We did not let people get they're way but we were never rude on them just for for the sake of it

>>6594793
This was about maybe 5 or 6 years ago. They have since upgraded a little...I think they still have to put in the price, though. Before, it was super old. Like, you had to even slide the slip you wrote up with prices into this slot where it printed a validation number on it. Was really weird and old.

Really? Money is your only measure of value to society?

Then I guess that professional athletes are among the most indispensable members of society. Without them who knows how long ago human civilization would have collapsed !!!!!!

>>6594852
how much society values you has no bearing on how much society needs you.

>>6594799
Tis true I have never been to a waffle house

>>6594858
Then I suppose society has a very fucked up way of determining someones value

>>6594869
Welcome to society.

>>6594577
care this much about semantics

For you.

I actually have a job where I go in stores and check to see if they will card me for buying age restricted products. It's amazing how lazy people are.

Maybe they can tell you're over 18?

absolutely no reading comprehension whatsoever
when did this become okay?

>>6594913
Yeah, I googled it afterwards. Just the first thing that comes up when I think of PBA.

>working at 7-11 over summer
>young looking guy comes in quickly to grab a lighter
>grab it for him, only find out that a lighter on its own is age restricted when I scan it
>he hurriedly takes his ID out and puts it on the counter in front of me
>check it and complete the transaction
>thought he picked his ID back up since I never touched it
>he runs out without his ID
>don't notice until he's long gone because it was a slow day and the counter was visually cluttered with scratch card options
>out of state license
>never found out if he got it back
I still feel bad about that, he wasn't even expecting to take it out.

>>6594916
Policy is they should ask for ID on people who look under 40, I am 24. Sometimes they try to short cut it, and ask for my birthday I lie and give them a under aged date, and then proceed to fail them. People get upset and I grow more powerful from their despair. It also pays alright for a part time gig.

>>6594759
Nope still not retail

Try again miss "barista"

>>6594693
if you're referring to something along the lines of pic related, yes, they exist in the states but are almost never used. i had to use one around 2001 when the electronic card machine was down, but that was the last time i've seen one used.

>>6595375
If it had his address on it you could have just mailed it back.
