Customer: "How much is this if it is 40% off the marked price?"
Me: "ummm... I don't know, I need a calculator...[then I type it into the calculator]... would you believe I have a college education and I still can't do this?"
Customer: "You do?"
Me: "Do what? Have a college education?"
Customer: "Yeah"
Me: "Why yes, I do have a degree from a prestigious liberal arts college."
Customer: "No you don't."
Me: "YES I do."

jokes thread, i may get a job at waitrose, im waiting for a 3rd interview and then i may be able to tell some tales.
I worked in a Canadian Tire store, which is a Canadian store that sells auto stuff, hardware, sporting goods, all that stuff.
So this woman comes in looking for a bike 5 minutes before the store closes. We all wait around for 20 minutes while she decides on what bike she wants. We have to keep a till open late so she can pay. Everybody is pissed off because we all want to go home.
Part of my job was to carry heavy things out for customers, so I got the privilege of carrying this woman's bike to her car. She mentions to me that she came late on purpose so she would get better service. That right there pissed me off. But it gets worse.
We get to the car and its obviously too small to fit the bike inside.
Her: Don't you have bungee cords or something?
Me: Well we're a store, we SELL them, we don't give them out. You didn't bring anything to strap the bike down?
Her: No, go get me some bungee cords.
I go inside tell the manager this woman is demanding bungee cords. He gives me a spool of twine. Good enough.
I go outside, and I start strapping the bike to the stupid woman's trunk.
Her: You didn't bring out scissors to cut the string? I hope you have fun chewing it off.
I finish strapping down the bike, took the out the boxcutter I kept in my pocket and cut the twine. I walked away, and muttered 'fuck off'. She yelled back "PARDON?" and I didn't say anything else and went inside. I never thought I'd tell a customer off, but that woman was a real bitch.
See, that's why I choose not work any retail at all because of asshole people.
I used to work at a rockyard back in Alberta and I had to put up with some pretty prickish people. One time a guy came in looking for landscaping edging and I had been there about 2 days. I pointed him out where to go to this building where they were, but, I pointed him to the wrong side. Common mistake, no big deal, and he starts going off like "don't you know anything? I'll get in shit from my boss for being late for your fuck up blah blah" going on and on like a little girl. Finally I said, "you need a diaper or..." He took his shit and left.
Another time I was loading a full pallet of landscape rocks and I mean, this is a 3000-4000lb load of rock products, not light shit. I had to use this tractor forklift, which is quite large, and he wanted me to fit sideways in this tiny space so his men didn't have to lift the top layer (unsteady) from ground up. I tried and tried again, like 10 fuckin times, the whole time he's like "move this way, that way, do this" you know like, just let me do my thing and stop barking at me. Finally I just said this is as good as it will get. Your men will have to reach out a bit, but they can grab it. He was clearly annoyed because I was clearly pissed off. Then I hear him say in the office when he's paying, "who's that new guy you got? He's not very bright, is he" I was in the back and I heard him, so I quit that very day. :p
Lol a couple monthers ago I worked at a fresh produce stand. Not bad money at all actually. But I remember it was a Sunday, our buisiest day.
I had about 2-3 customers lined up and I was goin as fast as I can to bag what they got, tally up what they got etc. Then it was this Asian ladies turn and you could tell she was frustrated that she hada wait behind everyone. She got some crazy asian thing that knowone EVER buys there.
I had no idea of the price and asked the other kid workin there if he knew the price. Right as I said that she was like "JESUS CHRIST ILL LOOK MYSELF" Ran over to the table and looked at the price. My friend didnt even have time to say the price. Which he knew lol.
She ran back and I was bagging her stuff up she's like "I DIDNT ASK FOR A BAG" so I handed her all her stuff back. And as I gave her change back and whatnot she went back to her car and DROPPED half the shit she had carrying. Me and another frequent customer that I sorta knew just almost died laughing.
I know she cracked her watermelon and didnt even ask for another one. Which I would of done since thats what we do. And its fun to destroy it =). I guess she was to embarrased. Its ALWAYS the foreign people for some reason.
You should have gone up and said, excuse me, I didnt tell you how much of a prick i think you are so why dont you have the decency to return the favour?Quote:

well.. 3hr wait.. its a busy saturday, this old heavy set gent wants 2 new tires, and he has his wife with, and her car, which is getting a flat repair.
not even an hour goes by, and the guy complains on the waiting time.
over, and over
and over...
finally got his car done and pull his wife's in.. now, being two different cars, they are on two different tickets... and the guy thinks they are both done, even tho his wifes car is up on the lift.
he pays his ticket thinking he paid for both, bitches about how his wifes car is up on the lift, tire not even off.
I grab my manager, a real pro at this stuff.. he lowers the car, and drives it out of the bay, with the tire still flat. one of the workers took out the small portable compresser and filled it the tire to the usual 30-32 psi.
my manager tells the guy straight up, the sign says how long it will be, the contract you signed.. ours and your copy says when its expected to be done (about another 20 minutes from now, which a flat repair is 5-10 minutes if that). the contract also states that by signing you agreed to our services and the payment, etc. and being that you didnt pay for this car yet and if you want to go off in a hurry, we can cancel that order and let you drive it off.
that guy got furious and left cursing and shit.
I see how some customers can get on your nerves, but when theres legal binding papers signed and dated by the cashier and the customer, they really have no say unless we breach the contract. (if we go over the time expected, blah blah 30% off, etc.)
I just wish I was able to clock out, change clothes and fucking hock a wad of snot at the fuckers car as he left tho. it'd of been much better.
