What hacks you off in shops?

[McMouse]

I joined the shortest checkout queue yesterday and when it was my turn the bloody till roll ran out and there wasn't a spare handy.

Having to ask for a chuffing carrier bag...I'm not a juggler..Then trying to open the fecker! Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Assistants multi tasking -ie speaking to their mate who has all but drawn up a seat and serving you at the same time-even managing to locate your hand with the change without swerving from their converstaion.
I hate shopping at the best of times though so that puts the tin lid on it for me.
B00 -bet you pass the time of day with your customers-even if it is just to while the hours away :)

.........moving on.........customers, same as B00, and who has the fess parker avatar?

[cupid04]

when you place your money in their hand yet they throw your change down on
the counter.

[dothawkes31]

actually the worst customers are those that return something over the 28 day discretionary return policy as 'unsuitable' yet demand their 'rights', which BTW don't exist lol

[Dris]

Or when the notes receipt and change are lashed into your hand and you have to hold the Q up as you count that you have the right change and then try whilst flustered to get it in the proper parts of your purse.

Ever wondered if youre in the wrong job Dot and B00.I just roll with the punches with my job -wouldnt dare criticise the people who pay my wages even on an off day.

*glares at Snaggles* behave yourself!

Dris, yes ok, i admit it ;-) There are a few customers i do actually like, and i'm quite chatty with the ones who are nice. It is however the one ar$ehole customer who pees you off for the entire day.

Examples of which are....

1- The customer who waits till you've done their shoppingt before pottering off to get something else, despite the queue building up behind them.

2- the customer who whinges when you have to give them shedloads of change, despite them being the 13th customer who's given you a £20.00 for a 20p newspaper.

3- Any customer who doesnt say please or thankyou.

4- the customer who asks for a carrier bag for a newspaper, despite their car also being outside the shop door.

5- The customer who doesn't fully understand the Meal Deal offers on the sandwiches, who argues with you.

6- the customer who spots the price difference between the shelf edge and the till, somehow this always ends up being my own personal fault.

7 The spotty oiks who look 12 yet expect me to serve them booze and or fags, then get ar$y when i refuse if they've no ID.

8- the drunk who also gets ar$y when i wont sell them any more booze.

9- the alcoholic who wants booze at 8am on a sunday morning and thinks im talking bo11ocks about the sunday training laws.

10- the customers who stink- can be anything from pee to B0 and other iffy things.

11- the customers on the phones- who wont even acknowledge you when you serve them.

12- the customers who watch you pack their shopping till the end and then say "oh, i brought my own bags"

I could go on, but im boring myself now.....

[Dris]

Its OK B00 -ive worked in shops as well I do get it :)
Im number 6 BTW -cant help myself lol-its like an OCD thing I just know if I didnt query it then I would only get as far as the door and have to come back :)

[B00]

No, i dont mind them querying the price difference Dris. I'd od it myself, and again if they're pleasent about it, im all apologetic. It's the ar$e you get who gets all shirty and starts ranting about it.
