"Customers"

I work in Safeway

I pack shelves, check dates and err that about sums it up. But I get lots of annoying customers and I am just not the best person to deal with the moronic public.

They expect you to know absolutely everything in a superstore with employes about 400 people or something.

I work in Dairy which is at one end of the store. People ask me for things that actually take minutes to walk to, they're that far away. W

Where's youre deoderant?
Where's your toilet roll?
Where's your peanuts?

Now I'm usually standing there with 10 pints of milk or somehting in my hand. All you can see is milk and butter but NOOOOOOOO they can't be bothered just looking a bit so they walk up to the milk aisle and ask me. And I can tell when they suck and I don't know the answer. I've work a month there but only work in about 6 ailses and have as much idea as anyone else where the rest of the stuff is kept. I suppose I can't blame them too much but it still really annoys me, especially people who treat you like dirt just because you don't know the price of Safeway's own Potato and Coleslaw twin tub (1kg) is. Or if that is on offer? Or how much 'THAT' is... what that thing 40m metres away... why don't you tell me the product you moron?

" I'll just go check in the back "
" I'm not sure when we'll have more mixed vegetables in sir, that's not in my department "
" Yes, I will tell my boss that sir "

Have a nice day.

Can I take your trolley that you so desperately need?
How about I mess up the cream you spent 20 minutes 'dressing' just so I can get one that expires a day later?
How about I steal your pen?
How about I switch the reduced labels?

Oh sorry I droped the eggs
Member of Dairy to checkout 5 please... this coleslaw is rancid can you get me a new one?

And the best...

" Do you think my cat will like this milk? "

that sounds wicked. I think I might have just realised my dream job.

all the tranquility, and the water and the dark blue hue of all the rooms.

anof course then there's the fish

I work in an aquarium, about half of the customers that come in know ten times more about fish than me!

You have the two extremes -

The one's which know it all and quiz you for humour on just about any fish disease etc

And the one's which would quite happily hold bubbles the goldfish in their hands while there partner cleans the tank!

The customers that irritate me are the ones which pick a single neon out of an entire schole of fish! literally hundreds of the lil buggers and they say that one!

Also the ones that wave a tener in your face for you to serve them...when you are on the phone or serving someone else!! The ones which click for service or yell 'you ..woman...come here' Don't get served

Simliar thing with a gal I work with.
This woman asked the same question and she replied "Which type were you looking for?"

The woman pulled one out of her bag and says "This one"

Lord knows how long it had been in there.
Customers are weird, annoying and stupid. They shouldn't be allowed out. Specially' when I'm working.

I did five days work experience in Top Man. Worst. Time. Ever. The staff used us as slaves. They'd tell us what to do, then as soon as their superiors were away they'd stop and just talk to each other, only pausing to shout at us to keep working. They threatened to fire me, then I walked out. Didn't deal with the public much, but I knew shop work wasn't for ol' MoJo. Did the rest of my work experience at the DSS, sat in front of a computer. Ironically, I ended up working there about four years later. Boo ya.

The ones that come in just to take the p*ss are the worst.

'cheer up'.
'I get paid more than you'
'you punch like a girl'

etc etc.

One of my friends works in a supermarket, I have aswell. The customers are the worst bit of the job.

just politely tell them you don't work there.

'This shirt...? I stole it from someone who actually works here. This milk I'm packing? erm... I'm secretly stealing that as well. Don't tell!'

And If they get a policeman, you just calmly explain that you work here, and are not stealing the milk.

'You see this shirt? It means I work at S-A-I-N-S-B-U-R-Y-S.'
