Work, Retail worker and Annoying: Chuds

Chuds

Today, at my retail job, I was trying to get a large amount of cardboard to the trash and had a short path to maneuver through displays and customers. As I'm coming down the aisle, a customer sees me and stops to look at a coffee cup display, directly in my path. FML

Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML

Today, while working at the coffee shop, I had to empty the garbage cans. One of the bags gave way, and all the half-finished cups of coffee spilled all over my uniform. Most customers' orders cost more than I make per hour. FML

Today, at work, a customer threatened to punch me in the face because the store I work at doesn't have shopping baskets, only carts. FML

Today, while working at Walmart, I was walking the sales floor and passed the end of an aisle. I saw a customer coming at me from the corner of my eye, so I jumped backwards. I hit a display case, and watched it topple over before turning to apologize to the customer. It was a ladder. FML

Today, I was walking into work holding a coffee and a bunch of other things. My employee saw me and held the door. I was almost there when I dropped my coffee, tried to catch it, tripped over the curb and fell flat on my face. I heard the door close while still lying there. FML

Weird old lady of the day

Today, I was at the supermarket when an elderly lady asked if I'd grab some coffee for her from a high shelf. The moment I took my hands off my almost-full shopping cart, she made off with it. I ended up getting thrown out by security after she claimed I was trying to steal it from her. FML

Today, as I turned to face the cashier at the supermarket, I managed to knock over an entire display of gift cards with my backpack. FML

Today, at work at a store, I was sitting on the floor stocking a bottom shelf. A woman in a motorized cart did not see me, and ran over my hand. When I alerted her about what she had done she laughed. FML

Today, I went to an over-crowded grocery store. As I reached the front of a long line, I noticed that a cart had been abandoned in everybody's way. Trying to be helpful, I moved it to the side. An enormous woman then shoved me and yelled at me for "pushing her property around." FML

First day

By notsogoodtrainee - 09/07/2015 17:02 - United States - Fargo

Today, at my first day of work, I was impressing my trainer with my skills by carrying many trays at once. Well, I could until I came around a corner and ran into a customer. With food all over his front, he introduced himself to me as the head manager. FML

'Take thy stare from out my heart, and excuse thy form from this floor!” Quoth the Customer “Nevermore.”' ...Just say "Excuse me." Sometimes people don't put two and two together, and have a one track mind.

You must work at a Walmart or similar style store. I was doing Christmas freight myself yesterday and all 3 times I had to do a cardboard run(putting it into the bailing machine) some jackoff would make a point to stop and just talk with other people right in the middle of the lanes. Way to many people in the country have a me and my life is all that is important mentality

And the customer selecting a coffee cup is why you have a job at all. You should patiently wait for the customer to go through the process uninterrupted.

Oh the joys of working retail! I did it for 2 years in high school and I don't miss it. Everybody should have to do it for at least a week so they can understand what customer service workers go through. Thanks for being on the front lines and keeping our society going!

Some customers feel like it’s their duty to be difficult and certainly take it upon themselves.

Ugh, that is one of my biggest pet peeves. A few weeks ago I literally had someone see me, stand in front of me looking at things, and when her husband saw me he told her she was in the way and her response was to say, "Bullshit, I'm not in anyone's f***ing way, I'm looking, not scratching my ass!" The only way around her was to back up with a loaded cart and go around two huge displays. People and their rudeness just infuriate me.
