I deserve things for free
>Every customer ever
I gotta get out
No retail bros on r9k anymore?
>>27617834
You're forgetting good threads get ignored on r9k. I don't work in retail but this looks like it has potential

it's not coming out of my paycheck, i'm not fighting that hard.

I'm a vendor for retail stores

>>27616860
>tfw saved up enough wagecuckbux last year to be a NEET for the next few months
>>27616860
My favourite part is when they complain when the prices increase or different items are in stock when I have nothing to do with it. I'm just a wagecuck trying to make a living.
>"OH I DIDN'T BOTHER READING THE COUPON TO REALIZE IT'S EXPIRED AND/OR INVALID ON WHAT I'M PURCHASING? WELL I'LL JUST GO SHOP SOMEWHERE ELSE THEN!"
Why in the name of fuck would any normie believe that I actually care where they shop? Normies are so stupid that they think cashiers own the goddamn stores they work at.
I left fast food a couple months ago and I'm gonna start working at a toys r us soon.
Hopefully all the white moms will fake enough niceness to me and the kids will not be little shitters enough for me to not hate it.
>>27616860
where i work we mostly just give people whatever they ask for(within reason). it actually makes things easier because you dont have to argue or care really. i work in food service
>>27616860
Fast food cashier here. The only thing working there has done is made me realize I want to work with people as little as possible
>>27617953
Trust me you're going to see the people that don't deserve to be parents have kids that are little, screaming monsters.

Since it's a newish thread, explain your ideal customer and your examples of worst
Retail drones who are your least favorite customers?
My vote goes for lotto niggers.
They want 20 individual tickets. All different types of tickets, all different custom numbers.
Proceed to spend forever punching them in with autistic precision as the line grows.
When the powerball jackpot hit record high a few months ago omfg.
I just wanted to fucking end it right there.
>>27618024
>ideal customer
One that knows exactly what they want, is polite and gets that you're a simple worker making a living, and is out of there quickly. Small talk and friendliness is a nice plus too.
>worst customer
OMG I can't believe you won't do blah blah blah for me let me see your manager I'm gonna try to get you fired :^)
>>27618072
I have experienced both customers btw
>>27618072
>Small talk and friendliness is a nice plus too.
To what degree? i do what you said before but can't talk to the person behind the counter most times

>not too busy, but not dead either
>i feel like i work too hard making peanuts
>>27617914
they grab the part of the company that they can reach, man. i think the truth that the store and company is so far beyond their reach that their issues don't matter at all is too sobering a realization for them to really have.
>>27618098
That's also fine. I just find it a nice bonus when someone treats me like a human being and not a machine.
I was in food service and had some regular customers that would do this and we built a nice rapport with each other.
>>27617943
>I'll be taking my business elsewhere!
The emptiest fucking threat ever. Half the time I see these people the next week and they just pretend nothing ever happened.
>>27618098
Like if you're buying an unusual snack you could say "Have you had these before? They're pretty good." It doesn't have to be much. It doesn't even have to be anything. You shouldn't worry about it.
>>27617953
>Hopefully all the white moms will fake enough niceness to me
White middle class mothers as the most entitled customers in the world. You will hate them with every fiber of your being.
>>27618069
I think everyone has those certain products or customers that just take way too long. I always comfort myself with the thought that the people in line are probably hating the person in front of me and not me.
My worst customer is ones that are trying to dump all their small change on you. It just takes forever for them to count out their money.
>>27616860
I don't understand what retail workers mean by this. In what situations would complete fucking retards think they deserve free things?
>>27618159
This is true. If they don't have to work, they get too isolated from the real world to be decent people.
>>27618136
>>27618158
Thanks for the info senpaitachi, but i'm starting to think my local coop workers are just expecting me to not say anything and it's making me paranoid, i went to buy some milk the other day and the guy behind the counter's smile seemed to drop as i approached the till, fuck sake i want to give him some small talk but i know i would spaghetti and then id have to walk an extra 5 minutes to goto the next closest store
>>27618024
>Ideal
Knows what they want, polite, very little chit chat
>Worst
Clueless, rude, stupid, entitled, full of pointless questions, makes leading remarks about the problems in their life expecting you to ask following questions, debates over which item to buy for 10 minutes before settling on the cheaper one regardless of any advice you've offered
>>27618138
I'm the vendor guy
Some fat bitch actually said this to me, but I still saw her buy 10 2L bottles of soda
>>27618198
Trust me, 9/10 times the cashier doesn't care overly much about regulars like you. If you talked about the weather they would talk back and it would break the ice.
I also got out of my autistic sperg stage by small talking with cashiers and random people too.
>>27618161
Small change used to bother me when I worked fast food, but that's because at Taco Bell we're supposed to get every customer out of the drive thru in less than 70 seconds. Never mind the fact that this is physical impossible on some orders, but simple orders that shouldn't take 30 seconds were dragged out by morons counting change. Then upper management bitch out our managers for not meeting time who then bitch us out for not meeting time.
Now that I'm working retail though I'm super chill about change.

To be fair that's kind of a bullshit system. Not everyone has a driver's license.
>>27618198
As a cashier I would say that I personally enjoy any type of small talk (especially if it's from a regular). Anything to break up the monotony of the day and to take my mind off the pain in my feet is awesome. You could talk about the wind for all I care
>is that debit or credit?
"yes"
>how many lemons in this bag?
"3 dollars"
I SAID HOW MANY LEMONS IN THIS BAG NOT WHAT JEW PRICE YOU WANT EM AT

>>27618198
Seriously if you have a quick, simple transaction with your cash prepared and in hand when you get to the register you are a cashier's dream. People that spend all day deciding what they want and fumbling with cash while the line grows behind them, or that unnecessarily complicate the transaction are what cause irritation. Not to say that you should never ever do these things but at least be polite and apologetic when you do. It shows awareness that cashing takes two and that you're trying to do your part as the customer to make sure things go smoothly.
People that come in acting like they own the place and like they know best are much more irritating. Like, it's my store. I maintain this business, I spend 8 hours a day here as a professional worker, I know how shit works around here. You don't get to tell me how to do my job.
>>27618138
The thing is that, for most of the businesses that the people in this thread work for, it wouldn't matter even if they did keep their word. It's one customer among thousands, it won't even be noticed.

I've heard this a lot about Home Depot and Lowe's. People who work there have told me people bring in items with the other store's logo on it and they still refunded it.
>>27618515
Here in Michigan we have laws about that sort of thing. Of course, it's still America, so we get shit on in terms of consumer protections.

This is a retail thread, so I posted wrong like an idiot.
When you work in cable, old people LOVE YOU when you fix their problem.
Their TVs are SO IMPORTANT TO THEM. They don't care about internet usually. Phone is sometimes a thing, but man, that TV...
And it's usually an easy fix, too. Like they've got something wrong with their TV settings or remote.
Often, they're super grateful toward you or offer you a tip.
The impoverished and the elderly are the most understanding people and they are appreciative when you do a good job.
Honestly, sometimes I wish my service area was more in the ghetto.

yeah, I work fast food now, and middle class white Stacies are the worst customers. I actually prefer baseball game days to our usual lunch rushes, because at least the drunk sports fans don't ask for stupid shit like lettuce wraps, hot dogs on kale salad, gluten free buns, etc and get really pissy when even a small part of their autistically specific order is wrong
>>27618578
I just recently had my orientation with home depot and it was an assistant store manager that was teaching the class. All day long he was talking shit about lowes. It was a little depressing that he is shilling so hard for home depot when the company doesn't give a single fuck about him. Most of the day was spent wondering if this guy believes the bullshit he is spewing or is it just because they pay him

Lol, got fired from my job a few weeks ago but got severance pay. I actually feel happier now that I have more time. I can't believe I'm saying this, but maybe being NEET ain't so bad, at least not as bad as doing retail.
>work at Publix
>cashier on 10 items or less line
>get in trouble for denying people with over 10
>get in trouble for taking people over 10
I fucking hate the 10 items or less line. Especially at Publix when you're not allowed to tell someone to get out of your line and of course the manager is always on the customers side regardless of items they have.
last year..or maybe 2 years ago now
go grocery shopping at safeway
see the planks of cheese on sale for 4$, usually 12$
when im paying it comes up as 8$ say its labeled as 4$
we disagree and we then go to check the price
she points out the big bolded price(4$) is how much you save
admit defeat and mention that that is a really stupid way of posting a sale price, she agrees and says they are doing it the way sobeys is now.
decide not to get the 8$ cheese
a week or 2 later they no longer post prices like that anymore, either i made a good point and it was brought up to corporate or there was enough other people who also ended up being confused as fuck and they realized the fuckup.
now when they have sale prices the big bolded price is the price you are gonna be paying, but i now lean in to check any small print incase they fuck up again.
>>27618939

Clearly something ain't right with him, yet he's by himself with no tard wrangler, I hope to god he doesn't drive. Last time he needed help I was about to go on break with a nice fish dinner and he had me in the same damn aisle if we had any more of a certain toy car pack.
>"This is cheaper at CVS/Walmart/other store"
Umm okay? Go shop there then.
>"Do you have any more of these in the back?"
No
>"Can you check to make sure?"
WTF? Do you think you're the only person who wanted this specific item that's been on sale all week today? We've been out since Wednesday, have the cashier write you a rain check and fuck off.

Read the fucking sign you colossal ducking retard. I cannot stand you idiots. You don't read - you associate a string of numbers with the nearest item or, God fucking forbid, whichever item you want then waste the front desk, cashiers, and sales floor folks' time with your utter inability to FUCKING READ.
Kill yourself.

>>27619062
you do realise they changed it from what it used to be
bolded price was what you paid
they change it to copy another grocery store, people get confused and it causes problems
they go back to the way it was, no more problems

Literally how? If you used Google to find our store's phone number then our hours would have popped up too. Not only that, but you have to listen to a robot voice drone on before you can talk to an employee and the option before "Customer Service" is fucking "Store Hours".

It's something to do that is entertaining. They're not accustomed to new technology and so it's something they can enjoy.

Most of them don't actually unless you're a "full time" employee which nobody is because they intentionally keep you at 38 hours a week so they can deny you benefits.
The whole system is rigged against the poor and unfortunate so that they can scam you out of what little money you have.

I have a number of elderly regulars who come in solely to talk to me for hours on end. Some don't even let me talk, they interrupt me or speak over me if I say something. They literally just want someone to listen to their shit. Fuck their kids, they should be the one enduring that. It's a fucking downer.

Our collective delusion defies conventional categorization. We believe we are number one, therefore we are number one. We used to be number one, but then we became content to simply call ourselves so.
>>27619753
Tell your manager to grow a fucking spine. I respect my managers so much because they don't take shit from customers.
Working at Walmart can be especially ironic when our subhuman customers and their cum-goblins come in and pick up and leave items literally wherever and complain that no one is ever around (severely understaffed), and then turn around and get mad when I don't give a shit that they think they won the lottery because they found something under a cheaper price tag.
They can't comprehend how no one works in our store to be able to straighten their mess so things aren't in the wrong spot.

I am a recently-graduated Pharmacist making $60/hr. I thought money would be enough for happiness. Still depressed as fuck. Customers treat you like a fucking glorified cashier. Don't even know the difference between you and the techs. And of course, still a kissless handholdless virgin.

I feel like you're seriously underestimating normal cashier work and overestimating the difficulty of your own job.

I worked as a cashier throughout high school. I know what it entails. It's not hard. Just mind-numbingly boring.

I do order new stock and I have to keep very good track of all stock. Always have to ensure pharmacy is in compliance with Board policies.
You have people forging prescriptions, shouting at you for their "pain" meds. Of course, I ID people if I feel like they might be lying.
No actual breaks. Literally on my feet for eight hours a day.
People have all sorts of drug therapy problems you have to deal with. And they ask all sorts of questions which you are forced to answer politely.
Don't even get me started on the flu shot/vaccination BS. Waste of time.

not really. the store was making more money back then, because we had hundreds of customers. Now with the low oil prices a lot of people is leaving the town. The old boss left because of his waifu. Not because he was doing a bad job.

>>27620785
>What part of giving a shot is hard?
You can't multitask while doing it. Have to sit down with them and do it. Also doesn't pay very much. Bad because then patients complain about why their prescription is taking so long.
>>27620743
you literally make more than 100k a year. you can pay off your debt in ONE YEAR and make insane money forever after. for the exact same effort as someone that can't even afford the cheapest shitbox apartment. i would literally murder you in cold blood and spend 5 years in prison if i could have your job after.
>>27620743
>college for eight years and >100K in student loans.
At $60/hr you'd be making over $124k before taxes if you worked full time. If you don't spend money like a retard those student loans will go away super quickly.
>>27620829
>>27620854
but money is pointless. All I use it for paying for my loan, tiny apartment and cheap food. I can live on $25000 an year very well I think with my lifestyle. That's why I wanna save up and retire as soon as possible.
>>27620796
they call a lot here complaining about " this is not what i ordered, can i get muuh money back or a discount for my next order?"
>>27620868
it's probably worth paying of your student loans asap, that 100k is going to be ~150-300k by the time it's paid off (depending on length)
you're probably also paying 1k+ a month on them already, which is obnoxious

>>27620785
Most pharmacies only have one pharmacist working at a time and they are pretty much necessary to do anything because they have to validate all prescriptions before they are sold and also before the sale of pseudo drugs. Consequently any breaks they do get are super limited. I'm glad I didn't continue on that career path

No actually, the register does that for you. It's easy for the customer to mental math their single transaction but when you're juggling hundreds in a shift with a bunch of other things just no. Anyway your example IS one of those other things, an irregular situation of making a typo of which there will be MANY. Although if they're clever they may realize they can just give correct change regardless of typos and the register will come out even.

Honestly, I can't grasp how normies can talk all day. It seems like everyone understands that the average person is lame as hell. My only assumptions are that they either like the sound of their own voices, or they're uncomfortable with the thoughts they conjure in silence.

>>27621444
In my country they got rid of food stamps because it was "demeaning". People should be able to pay with money and spent it on whatever they want.
Welfare in my country is: Free housing and 450 bucks to spent on whatever you want to.
The average full time worker has less than that to spent after housing costs. That's why 95% of all immigrants leech off welfare.
I wanted to ride the train too but they said parents too rich, you are white and able to work, so they'd cut the money. Only trash like subhumans can leech off welfare. Everyone white ends up as a wagecuck.
>>27621498
Who knows, you want to know something else too? soon they will be giving us MORE money and paying for a rented place for doing literally nothing, ain't the UK great?

But they can't do anything if you don't break company policy, so don't break company policy. Try to diffuse the situation as best as possible so that the customer doesn't bitch to your manager.

>every day multiple times a day some family with at least 3 kids let their shithead children have free reign within the store
>knocking things off shelves
>moving things around
>running around getting in people's way
WATCH YOUR FUCKING KIDS OR KEEP THEM AT HOME. BE A GOD DAMN PARENT
>grocery store
>go to the bathroom before break
>enter
>smell shit
>go to last stall
>customer left shitty underwear on the floor.
I just...why?...how?
>>27621764
It was, I felt on another level for those few seconds.
>>27621793
I do this
>hold shit for too long
>wear tight undies
>crap self
>leave undies in restroom floor or try to flush them with large amounts of TP
At my old job a lot of the employee's would always complain about how shitty it is and how the place is garbage, and to me, it was mediocre sure, but it was mostly ok. Are they spoiled or am I just used to shit?

Someone who worked in back nearly got murdered at our store how's that for excitement cunt?
>"youths" come into the store fighting with each other
>our company generously had scrapped the security guards we used to have at our store who had batons and pepper spray the week prior
>they start going crazy when staff try to confront them, two of them attack the staff, one runs off into the back area where we prep fruit and veg
>apparently surprised one of the dudes who works produce
>grabs one of the big knives we have and starts fucking hacking at him then flees out the back door
>produce guy is literally bleeding to death in the back room with his arm almost cut off
They got him an ambulance and he lived but has a permanently crippled arm now, the guy who tried to murder him was 17 and didn't even get a prison sentence, got community service because the legal system in Australia literally favors criminals.
Dude from my work was going to be an animal trainer he'd done a course and everything but now he can't even work minimum wage retail

Even in America, there is always a convenience store/bodega in the ghetto that gives cash for spending EBT cards there. Usually by overcharging for and then refunding some cash, with a percentage deducted for the service.
Example:
>Buy $20 bottle of soda with EBT card
>get $18 cash back
>>27619460
This must be an American thing I've done retail for like 9 years through school and uni and never heard this from even the most enraged cuckstomers
>shitjob at at&t
>old lady comes in
>"can you tell why i'm spending so much?"
>of course miss, what's your number?
>she takes her VODAFONE phone to check
>why
>>27621867
That sounds illegal as shit. If I have to refund a transaction that used EBT the money goes back onto the EBT card.

The fuck kind of pharmacy sells cigarettes
>>27621921
All of them except CVS?
>Expected to try to enforce rules that I know the store has no intention of backing me up on.
>The manager will come up and give them what they want
>I'll look like a stubborn jerk
I've been out of retail for 5 years and I still haven't really recovered from it. Fathers, get your sons in landscaping, security, warehouse stuff... anything but retail. The peon mentality permeates into other areas of your life.

Our deli closes after the store manager leaves and thr duty is too busy to care kek I don't work the deli but I love telling fucks who come in at like 10:30 (deli closes at 9pm) no you can't have sliced meats now

Heh, me too. Live it up.

I have hearing problems and can't always hear unless a person is in front of me speaking clearly.
One time I was leaving work, at the checkout still in my uniform because I was buying a few groceries before I left, and this guy stormed past me saying "YOU JUST LOST A HUNDRED DOLLARS WORTH OF A SALE!" And I didn't know what he was on about so I ignored it.
A lady in the line behind me said, "he was walking behind you calling out to you earlier, but you didn't hear him."
Well fuck me right? Like I really care that some guy took his business to another store. I don't get a fucking commission on what my store sells. I get the same tiny paycheck regardless of how well they do. I hope that fucker NEVER comes back and takes all his hundreds of dollars elsewhere.
God I fucking hate some of our customers.
>>27621952
None in my country do that's fucking hilarious
>got my script for heart disease filled better grab muh ciggies
>>27619021
> he had me in the same damn aisle if we had any more of a certain toy car pack.
just do what I do, and tell him that you'll check the back, then just go on your break so he'll get tired of waiting and find someone else to bother.

>Landscaping
No anon, even us landscapers are not immune to the bullshit
>Doing any kind of tree cutting or hedging
>3 leaves fall onto someone's driveway
>Come out and start getting furious at us for making a mess of their garden
Alternatively
>You can't cut this tree down I've been living here X years blah blah blah
>Literally have to prove we have the council planning rights, this is a public hazard, and not hers to decide
And finally
>Those people who walk under our safety rope to shout at us as we're felling branches big enough to kill someone if they are crushed
>>27621952
Poor CVS. They're always making these moral stands like not selling smokes to be one of the cool companies but they're still sketchy somehow.
Even the best CVS stores in suburbs and the like it feels like Walgreens' retarded cousin.
>>27621888
No shit it's illegal, lots of illegal shit happens in the fucking ghetto.
If they were smart they'd issue "club cards" like sam's club or costco and spin the cash back as "reward points" or something like that.
>>27621857
Jesus christ that's awful. This is why I cringe when people whine about "rehabilitating" criminals in America.
Rehabilitation only works with people able to feel remorse, shame and able to reflect on their actions.
So it obviously won't work on niggs.

tales from ebay germany
>sparing you the member to member contacts, which believe me result in one trading partner "thinking" they are being tricked with their 3 Euros purchase/sale - then calling fraud - then accusing ebay of encouraging fraud if we don't suspend their trading partner for the item "smelling funny"/ the payment arriving after 4 days instead of his demanded 3
>the dumbest Untermensch are the retards calling us directly
>"I have sold an item, why do Ihave to pay final value fee? My app told me the LISTING was free - no, I don't have a kom-pju-tor, I only use the app released 3 months ago, because I hate the new design. You have hidden your terms of service I agree to with every listing, so your invoice is illegal!"
>"Why am I being banned for selling Nazi items/being n a private bankrupcty/having a 50% seller defect rate? You are denying my human right to free trade!"
>"I didn't purchase the item because I told my 3yr old daughter to click on the item/I mistook the "buy it now" button for a non-binding shopping cart icon - now I feel personally threatened by the seller who wants payment"
>"No, you can't talk to my father, he's been dead for 3 years. I just use his account"
>>27621857
>randomly attack someone with a knife
>not put in jail
I know that we gotta reform people, but fuck this.
Anyone here ever work at a thrift store?
>Had to wheel racks of clothing around and return the items to the shelf
>One of the managers would time me while I did it
>Cunts would always beeline for my rack when they had the whole fucking store to look at or could have waited 2 minutes to look at the items
Also, the fucking tag-swappers. Like, I know you're stealing but please don't insult my intelligence people by swapping the tag with something from a different department.
I have some nice memories of trying on weird outfits with coworkers on quiet nights though. And scoring rare books, retro vidya, and boardgames and then reselling them online.

One night it was so busy at my store and of course we have 4 call outs so we can't handle it. This guy begins to complain how he had to wait forever. I apologize to him but he still says it's unacceptable and we should have more registers and we should do "this" and that". I started to get tired of his shit and just simply said "it is what it is". Well this guy got so fumed up he waited up at customer service for an extra 20 mins just to tell the guy up there (who was my friend btw) that I'm the worst person ever etc... Then he writes a letter to corporate about how shitty I am and after that he actually goes to yelp to write a review about our store with a whole 3 paragraphs dedicated to me. Luckily I have I cool manager and he thought it was pretty funny so I didn't get written up.

>leave work in my uniform to go to the shopping center in another place
>on my way out stop in to another location of my company because I forgot to buy something at my store
>lady comes up to me "do you work here?"
>I'm literally in the company uniform
>"no" walk off leaving her standing there fuming
Kek I hope she flipped out at the front desk
