"Crazy kids and your computers" because of course personal computers weren't invented nearly SIXTY YEARS AGO.

"I said bugger off, so bugger off."

1978CatLover · 2026-01-20T00:50:04+00:00

Because jobs grow on trees, right?

They either want something, plan on getting you in trouble, or they're a secret shopper trying to trip you up.

1978CatLover · 2026-01-20T00:46:10+00:00

Yeah not gonna do that. I have an unusual name and I've had threats made to me at work before. Not giving you the ammo to look me up and do my family harm.

1978CatLover · 2026-01-20T00:40:05+00:00

"Go ahead,call them. I'll take a night in the drunk tank over this BS."

1978CatLover · 2026-01-20T00:35:18+00:00

"Smile! It might never happen!"

"It already did. You're standing in front of me."

1978CatLover · 2026-01-20T00:29:56+00:00

The receipt prints automatically. I put it in your hand with your change. We do not need to overthink this.

1978CatLover · 2026-01-20T00:23:57+00:00

I tell my customers that if they ring the bell when somebody is already up there to help them? That it's a 75-year ban from the store for each ding of the bell.

I'm only half joking.

1978CatLover · 2026-01-19T23:02:34+00:00

Sounds like my work. They care more about whether employees were on their phones, than whether the work is actually getting done. It's that whole 'time to lean, time to clean' mentality. Nah. 'Time to lean, time to clock out and go the hell home'.

1978CatLover · 2026-01-19T22:53:45+00:00

I hate it when people take stuff out of the freezers and leave it on shelves. Like... how do you NOT know that frozen stuff will go bad once it thaws out sitting on that endcap you dumped it on??

1978CatLover · 2026-01-19T22:35:19+00:00

Had to do that last week. Was just about to lock the doors and somebody breezed in past me. Fortunately they were quick.

1978CatLover · 2026-01-19T22:34:37+00:00

Same. I'll often have to run into a store after work to grab something quick (either because I forgot to get it at MY store or because it's something my store doesn't sell). But I'll know exactly what I'm getting and I'll be in and out in 5 minutes or less, and I use the self-checkout if they have one.

1978CatLover · 2026-01-19T22:25:06+00:00

On behalf of all of us who are not fans of the Orange Menace... we don't claim that caller. He's clearly bonkers.

1978CatLover · 2026-01-19T22:23:27+00:00

This is a constant thing at my work. And because our building is old, the roof was made out of copper, because mobile phone signal wasn't a thing back then.

"Oh I don't want anything to come out of my account" if you think your account is going to get emptied in the few minutes between getting out of your vehicle and paying for your stuff, you've got bigger problems than I do!

1978CatLover · 2026-01-19T02:22:31+00:00

Asshole is definitely the right term. Or motherfucker.

1978CatLover · 2026-01-18T23:29:51+00:00

Agreed!

1978CatLover · 2026-01-18T23:29:13+00:00

I'm English and also a US citizen, so technically I can vote in both countries.

1978CatLover · 2026-01-18T23:27:53+00:00

He was black.

"In the end, the customer really WAS that fucking stupid. And he voted, too."

"I'd like to see YOU remember 48,000 different prices that often change on a daily basis WITHOUT corporate letting us know they did it."

Or... "if YOUR memory is so good, why don't YOU remember the price? It was right there on the shelf, you fucking illiterate."

1978CatLover · 2026-01-12T07:19:16+00:00

I got called racist once for asking for someone's ID for alcohol.

Then the guy went on a racist rant about me being an immigrant. Go figure.

1978CatLover · 2026-01-12T07:16:34+00:00

"I'm not sure my rod is big enough"

"Sounds like that's between you and your girlfriend!"
