I can relate to those stories. I hate my work because of people who come in and eat.
Especially when they ask me where the soup spoons and butter are. And then they assume that I am some lazy teenager who won't do anything for them.
But there are the very rare nice comments that make my day and I think for one tiny nanosecond, hey I like this job.

I now love that site. It's one of the ones I visit everytime I go online. It makes me feel good, knowing that I am not the only person who deals with idiots everytime I work.

haha when I worked as an asst mgr at a grocery store I caught a woman who tried to change the price tag on a hair brush. It's because of people like her that most stores don't bother putting the tags on the items any more.

I worked in a Blockbuster Video for two years and in a grocery store for two years before that... And a lot of people were perfectly lovely but isn't it funny how it's the insane ones that stick in your mind?

I remember, at the grocery store, this one woman came in once demanding a refund for her one litre of homogenized milk because, and I quote, "I left it three weeks on the counter and it went bad. So she demanded a refund.

Despite the preposterous claim, I very politely asked her if she had her receipt. Because, as it clearly stated on said receipt, "No receipt, no refund." You would have thought I had asked her for a kidney. How dare I ask for a receipt? She didn't have no stinking receipt. I tried to explain that a receipt was the only way I could prove to my managers (who were black-soul demon-people) that she had indeed bought the product in our store. And again. Was I an imbecile? She only did her groceries at this store. Of course, she bought it here!!!

So then the lights finally came on in that brain of mine and I noticed that we didn't carry one litre homogenized milk in the particular brand she had brought in front of me. Well, said I, here's what I could do. If she could but go in our milk aisle and bring me another, identical, one-litre homogenized milk container, I'd give her a refund out of my very own pocket...

And then she left, swearing she'd complain. She never did.
