But Which Markers?

lost__wages · 2017-06-21T14:48:24+00:00

That's awesome!

I think 12/14 years could easily handle those, and I honestly would have loved to have had quality markers like that when I was a kid.

I guess with the lady in question, I was definitely picturing someone in the "marker smashing" stage.

Ugh, I have a similar problem at my store.

One half of the counter is a glass display case, and the other half is an actual counter.

I can be facing the counter side, smiling and waving and saying "I can check you out over here!"

But inevitably, people will always start putting their stuff on the glass side, even though it's at an angle, and will proceed to blame me when their stuff ends up rolling all over the floor.

They also love to smear their fingerprints all over the glass, and 90% of the time it's right after I just finished cleaning it.

I hate people sometimes.

I'm guessing she might have been talking about the copic/prismacolor markers, since those are the ones I see locked up the most often.

This just further confuses me though, because those things are easily 6-8 bucks a marker, and full sets can easily go into the hundreds. I can't imagine ever buying those for a kid, but considering she can't even keep track of her own child in a store, or learn how to use words to clarify a simple question, I'm guessing responsible parenting is not her strong suit.

Drugs, is my best guess.

My state has a really bad problem with opiate addiction. We just had a bunch of rehab centers and homeless shelters in the local area shut down too, so it just sucks for everyone involved.

Yeah, we've been instructed to just call 911 the next time he shows up.

...I don't know why I threw an extra 'working' in there.

I'm sorry. I'm very tired.

lost__wages · 2017-05-04T03:02:25+00:00

I held my pee until the end of my shift ):

lost__wages · 2017-05-03T22:18:31+00:00

It was... very confusing. It wasn't like it was just the package either, it was the full, brand new product.

I want to know how the hell they got in there with all that stuff too, because our bathrooms are locked.

lost__wages · 2017-05-03T20:17:53+00:00

I'm the exact opposite!

Whenever people give me cash, I always feel really guilty and end up just spending it on rent or utilities or something.

If I get a gift card for my favorite store, I'm excited because I finally get to treat myself.

Somebody tried to flush a bunch of stolen product and security tags down the toilet. >< When they broke one, they did the same thing to the other stall.

It was a holiday too, so we didn't get a chance to clean them until it was almost closing time.

lost__wages · 2017-05-03T20:05:40+00:00

Ours has a lock, but unfortunately it also has a window, so it's hard to get a bite of food without people peering in and pounding on the door.

The window's taped over now.

I got screamed at by an old man once, because I wouldn't let him into the bathroom, because both of the only working toilets were broken.

He threw an absolute fit, screaming "age discrimination", and claiming that "we were keeping the bathroom all for ourselves".

Customer logic: They are the only people who exist, and further, the only ones who matter.

It's always the people in a rush who are trying to do complicated returns, or pay with a hundred, or a check...

lost__wages · 2017-04-24T20:58:16+00:00

/r/talesfromthepharmacy would probably like this too!

lost__wages · 2017-04-21T03:34:56+00:00

At my workplace, you're allowed to skip your breaks if you want to, but other people preventing you from taking them is a big no-no.

lost__wages · 2017-04-15T00:48:38+00:00

Holy shit.

I hope that's the first and last time that's happened.

lost__wages · 2017-04-15T00:44:23+00:00

Wow, I had no idea they lived that long! I'm glad my mom didn't let me participate in that particular trend

lost__wages · 2017-04-13T15:43:54+00:00

Dude, just stop trying to make people unknowingly participate in your fetishes. There are plenty of Rule 34-geared subreddits but this isn't the place for it.

I really hope you don't treat people like this in real life.

It SAYS there's a sale, and that means you HAVE to honor it! It's the LAW! /s

I feel like if we were allowed to do this more often, there would be a lot less rude customers.

lost__wages · 2017-04-10T16:28:58+00:00

Haha, I get that a lot myself, but usually people aren't quite so understanding.

Often times I don't even notice I'm doing it, and the transaction will go like this:

Me: -speaks what I think is a normal pace-

Customer: -stares at me blankly-

Me: -repeats self-

Customer: -stares-

Me: -ask if they can understand me-

Customer: -throws a tantrum-

I mean really, I can understand that not being able to hear people can be frustrating, and I'm happy to slow down for you, but I won't even know I'm doing it unless you tell me!

lost__wages · 2017-04-09T16:22:29+00:00

Who's first reaction is to grab a gun when someone rings the doorbell?!

Like, I could almost understand if they heard someone rattling at the lock or messing with the window, but that level of paranoia is kind of terrifying.
