I have read all 9 pages just then, and i think i laughed at every single post. I think i have about a thousand stories floating around in my head, of all the stupid shit customers have said to me.
i was working at the family business the other day, and a customer stood to were the vegs where and started to order there, were he was kindly told, you order over there where the sign says "order here" anyway, he is standing around and my dad says to him twice " what can i get for you" what would you like" so dad and i are standing there. and then i the guy decides to tell me that i look blank. and then says.. dont you want to make money. blah blah. ( normaly if i am out of line, dad will kick me under the bench to tell me to shut up and he didnt do that.. so i thought perfect
) So i piped up and said, my dad asked you two times already what you wanted, and you just stood there and now your being rude to be telling me i am blank looking, thats because you cant read a sign, can you read that sign there it says, "order here" not over there. so anyway he ordered something and then he kept going on to tell me i looked blank. im like what ever buddy, waved my hand at him and walked off.
I stared work that day at 5. and by 5.10 i was already having a fight with a stupid customer.
but i must addmit, all the customers that come through at woolies are just stupid, i mean you get treated like a second class citzen, people dont listen, they dont look, they dont read.
with the new swipe or insert your card. i told this guy 3 times to insert your card, cos the mechine was beeping at him.. and he is like why isnt this working. i just stood there and sigh'd and i said i told you 3 times already to insert your card, and then he says.. you dont need to be so rude about it.
i mean if you cant read or listen.. dont come in, but ive never seen him before.. so hopefully i wont see him again.
i would have to say its probley my personal that *may* be the issue.. but i always to have fights with people. and maybe that why i have people threatening to kill me
the joys of working for Woolies
