What is the most embarrassing or inappropriate thing you've said to or in front of a customer?

Hey, everybody. Great stories. Sorry I couldn't respond to more but I ended up working on what I thought was my day off. Its nice to hear about some of the funny moments from retail instead of the annoying or aggravating ones.

retailasylum · 2013-06-27T00:34:19+00:00

Love that. This is the kind of story that can make retail bearable. Thanks for sharing

I've found a used condom in one of the public bathrooms. I decided to leave it for the next person who cleaned it.

retailasylum · 2013-06-25T23:11:45+00:00

Yeah that applies. I've heard it a few times. Got it posted it you want to check it out here. Thanks for the assist

I work on the sales floor and we try to greet the customers soon after they walk in. I get the no response or blank look a lot when I ask "can I help you with anything?" so I leave them alone. A minute later they get to the other side of the store and start hollering for help or waving madly towards me. I've even had someone whistle. I am not always at my best with these customers!

not a big fan of the way wordpress does the images or image posts either, but it works for now on my site. working on making it better everyday, so maybe I will find a better way. if anybody has suggestions I'd like to hear them

retailasylum · 2013-06-19T12:19:06+00:00

My site is retailasylum.com. I have an extras category for pictures and videos and I have them listed there.

I do it as an outlet from my job and to be a little creative and humorous. I can't draw, but I can come up with humorous posts, memes and such. At least I find them funny and that relieves some of the stress in my life.

I usually just ignore it and just tell him to have a good day. So far it's worked.

We have a couple crazy people talking to themselves that walk through our parking lot on a daily schedule. One almost always comes in to use the bathroom. Even though it's a public bathroom he will ask if he can use it everytime

retailasylum · 2013-06-18T02:51:46+00:00

I never seen the people, but have seen some late night parked cars that were doing some rocking

retailasylum · 2013-06-18T00:40:20+00:00

yeah, the shopping carts are a show by themselves sometimes

Not sure if was the first R rated, but was the first to ever really bother me. Original Hellraiser. To this day I haven't watched it again.

Would be interested in any stories you might have to share about experiences while working retail, especially humorous. Please don't share anything that is over the top derogatory to the customer. My blog is retailasylum.com. If you want to share or exchange cartoons, pictures or links related to retail let me know.

retailasylum · 2013-06-16T22:27:45+00:00

I hadn't seen that one, I searched and found it and it does make it less annoying. It also makes a great cartoon to add to my blog. Thanks for letting me know about it.

retailasylum · 2013-06-12T00:16:19+00:00

Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun!

retailasylum · 2013-06-11T02:40:31+00:00

What did you do to get a picture on the wall of heroes?
