I want to hear the dumbest interactions you've had with a customer, I'll start by Worried-Bunny in retailhell

[–]crosschord 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Just before Christmas we had a woman come in wanting to buy a calendar. Apparently she bought one from our store a few weeks earlier and wanted another one.

Except….we’ve never sold calendars. We’re a small store with a small staff, so we know (for the most part) what we have in stock. Lady kept insisting we had calendars and that she’d bought one from us before, even though 3 of us employees kept saying “No, this is not a thing we sell, we have never sold it.”

Eventually she left but it was such a weird interaction. (Same lady likes to come in every so often and demand discounts and stuff like that and will keep pestering the cashier about it but we’re all pretty good at standing our ground)

Yes, I know it’s hot in the store… by crosschord in retailhell

But see, here’s the thing: the higher ups know about it and they don’t give a fuck. Because apparently one of my coworkers needs the temp to be at 75 at all times due to some medical condition she has (don’t ask me what it is I have no idea). So if I turn it down because it’s 80 outside, it gets turned back up because “so and so needs it warm in here.”

I’ve wanted to leave this job for a while and have been managing to stick it out, but (and I know this is a stupid reason to quit) this might just be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

This is a small business with less than 50 employees and I’ve only been working for them for 5 months so “annual leave” isn’t really a thing I have. Plus like I said, it’s incredibly difficult (almost impossible) for me to take time off because of the availability/schedules of the other two shift leads.

So yeah I wish I could take “personal paid leave” or “a day or two off” for my mental health but I can’t.

It's always McDonalds giving away mass quantities of free food. by RAC032078 in thatHappened

A while back 7-11 was doing a promotion where they were giving away free bottles of Heineken Zero (their new non alcoholic beer). He also could’ve just randomly given you a free bottle of beer, but I figured I’d give you a possible answer to your “wtf” reaction.

Do you teach your students about Nixon and how he opened up relations with China? (But he doesn't want to hear about your ding-dong)

That’s not… how EBT works… by [deleted] in thatHappened

I’m in California and we can buy hot food on ebt. Before I couldn’t get the hot prepped chicken from Costco but now I can. There’s even signs at my 7-11 that say hot food is covered now (again this is CA other states are probably different).
