I work at kohls and now I have a burning hatred for indians and vietnamese. They are trash. The worst kind of trash. The gooks take advantage of coupons constantly and the indians make you put anything over 4 dollars back and make sure to buy the uggliest shitty clothes off the clearance racks. They also smell and leave messes everywhere they go. And I even hate the way the men walk about with their hands clasped behind their backs while slouching. And their children run amok Fuck indians. At least the gooks are polite.

I hope to god I get a job at a better store at the mall where they won't come anymore.

They get like 30 sunday papers and use the 10 dollar off coupons 30 times in the same day with 30% off then demand you give them kohls cash back even though it was limit one per customer per day. If you say no they go to another cashier in a different department and keep trying. They also used to sign up tons of emails when we gave 10 dollars off for signing up and only buy off clearance though slightly better than the indians.

I liked what that guy said about Kohls. We don't have that in my country but we have "Coles." My sister works there and it has given her a hatred for... Vietnamese and Indian people.
She hates, among other things, when the Vietnamese people take what she considers to be unfair advantage of specials and buy everything.
Personally, I don't see why that one should get anyone mad. Shits there to be sold, right? It ain't a charity.

I agree. Sure, it's frustrating, but if your company didn't want people to use the coupons, they wouldn't mail them out. It's just part of your job and being professional, even in an entry-level job, means doing what needs to be done.

If I may ask, how did you get a job in retail? I'm assuming you don't work in a Macy's from what I've seen. Did you have previous jobs in retail before? Was it because of your education?

As with most folks, you have to start small and do your best to be quiet, work hard, and learn as much as you can. I met the Western US buyer for Nordstrom at a career fair/panel thing and she recommended me for just a summer retail job in women's denim, which is where I got my first start. Outside of the retail aspect, I asked a lot of questions of my managers and merchandisers to try to learn as much as I could about the operations side of things during my short time.

Afterwards, I continued school and as my course load lightened, I decided I wanted to work again, so I applied for another basic retail job at a entry-/mid-price men's boutique. It was my first experience at a small business and my boss was kind enough to give me opportunities to grow, like learning how to handle purchase orders, budgets, SKU database, e-commerce, etc. Just a little bit of everything. I got my break when he couldn't attend a tradeshow and he sent me in his place for a few days, which was a pretty big deal to me at the time. That was when it really clicked and I figured out that I had a certain affinity for sorting through large amounts of product to pinpoint certain ideas, themes, and so on. I wound up being his assistant full time for a while after I finished school, but he was moving on, so I needed to, as well.

To pay the bills while I figured out my next move, I took a job at Bloomingdale's, which was my first direct interaction with men's and women's ready-to-wear, along with plenty of contemporary, bridge, and premium denim stuff. But I was assigned to work the designer floor, so that was when a lot of what I'd spent my free time reading about Margiela, Junya, Prorsum, etc. began translating into actual work. In the meantime, I was approached by Hugo Boss and they gave me contract work as a sort of liaison; basically a pair of eyes on the ground to monitor their business within the store and to ensure that their demands about stock and sell-through were met...

Used to work at JCP. Customers were the worst, literally nothing but cheap immigrant soccer moms who would fight to their very last breath just to get a dollar off their total price.

Blacks: Honestly they weren't too bad I'd say about 30% of them were assholes, sure there were a lot of them that would cop a bunch of clearance items that were 1.99 and if it were over 5.99 they would make me put it back, but most of the time they were nice so it's cool.

Indians: Literally the worst of them all, I'm talking wouldn't leave even after we closed down, they would make a mess and let their kids go wild, I remember one time a kid just ran up to the shoe department and knocked the displays while their parents didn't do shit. These guys would argue if their coupon didn't work or if it already expired, just horrible.

Asians: Not too bad as far as I remember, slightly better customers than black people.

White: most of them were nice, a few of them really cheap but at least they didn't make a big deal out of coupons, they still tried to get additional discounts but they weren't dicks about it. A few would make scenes, but that was like once every two weeks.

Spics: Depends, most of them just didn't understand the coupons too well and made a mistake with their items. Some were really cheap but they were dicks about it.

Overall most of the customers were really demanding, honestly it wasn't too much trouble since it was a retail job and I expected that much, but the ones that really got to me were the ones that made an unbelievable mess and would just overreact and make a scene if the coupons didn't work or expired, the ones that tried to take advantage of the employees completely pissed me off and I absolutely hated the customers that came in the store at the last minute and started asking for a bunch of shoes.

>Asian people
They're some of the most annoying customers to deal with since they're really cheap and they try to argue with you about prices. They try to lie and say they found something somewhere else because they want it cheaper
>White people
White dudes are alright, they're usually very nice, understanding if you don't have what they're looking for. Middle-aged white women/white moms are fucking awful though, I hate dealing with them the most. They get pissy and passive-aggressive if there aren't any fitting rooms available or if they've had to wait for one for more than a few minutes (if they have to wait for anything they get salty). And they take a shit load of items in there as well. If they're fat, they will make you walk them around the store looking for their goliath size while they complain at you and insinuate it's is your fault. Also they want you to change what the stores carry/what the clothing designers make
>Black people
Generally polite. I'm pretty sure they beat their kids so they're well-behaved in the store. The straight-up Africans (esp the Muslim Africans) are terrible. They do literally all their shopping (not just for work-out clothes) on the clearance rounders and make messes everywhere they go. They let their kids run around barefoot screaming all over the store and press the customer service buttons
>Hispanics
I don't have any qualms with them. But they smell terrible most of the time and the fat moms bring their army of kids into the store who yell and cry and get lost in the racks

"Got" is perfectly acceptable in this case. You're just parsing the sentence incorrectly. You're perceiving "I got" as a slang form of "I have" (in the present tense, which would clearly be a gaffe), but I believe he meant to use it in the correct sense and in the past tense, to mean "I obtained".

I think it's funny that so many other retail workers view customer demographics primarily through race. Personally, I see age and whether or not they're tourists.

Usually, customers (Americans) between the ages of 20-30 are just fine. They're patient, cooperative, and understanding when I can't find what they're looking for. I assume it's because they're old enough to understand that retail sucks, but young enough to avoid incontinence.

40+ women tend to be more demanding and will bitch at you if they have to wait, or you slip up.

Also, teens. I hate them. They create massive messes, try on way too many things, and don't buy anything.

Of course, the applies to American customers. Tourists and other visiting people are, by and far, the worst, regardless of age. No matter who they are, despite not speaking a word of English, they will look at you like you're the dumbass, even if they're the ones holding up the line with their complete misunderstanding of how transactions work. Asian, European, Hispanic, it doesn't matter. They're all high-risk for obnoxiousness.

Of course, there are exceptions to every rule.

>Japanese: the most /fa/, sometimes are a little arrogant but often cool as fuck, not as picky
>Brazilian: women are very sweet, men can be assholes, although they're generally very nice and easy to please though
>Mexicans: pretty much like white American people but usually pretty cheap
>British: one of the best, usually funny and polite
>Australians: basically british people but tan
>German: also one of the best, best sense of humor
>French, Italian, Spain: more rare because shopping is good there, but they're alright
>Indians: by far the meanest, I've had some good Indian customers before but many treat all retail workers like shit, whether you're commission based and you're really selling shit or you're just folding tee shirts, they are always angry, I just can't understand it
>Nigerian: also mean, and arrogant, some are cool
>White Americans: probably the most random of all of them, but they're usually just average

my second job was a grocery store pushing carts and i fucking hated old white ladies. personality-wise, they ran the gamut from nice to indifferent to foul cavebitches, but universally, none of them throw trash into trash cans. they throw them into the nearest object, which was usually a shopping cart that i'd have to clean out in front of them with a big shiteating fake smile. they are also the most likely to toss their carts into peoples' cars or leave them out in the parking lot when it's windy. they'd also get snippy as fuck if you weren't bagging fast enough, regardless of how fast the transaction itself was going.
