people on their phones that pay with card, and when i've to ask them to put their card in to the machine/take it out (cos usually they're too distracted on the phone to notice) they act as if i'm one huge inconvenience ergisrthiosryhjsioyjsryi

[j0rd]

when you try to explain to a polish person that its a fire exit, but they don't speak a word of english

[Samantha]

I work in retail, in fact the best story I have to tell happened yesterday. I worked in Bradford so it's a rarity I get someone of an English nature. Anyway, she paid, I gave her the changed and she left. I was serving another customer, she came back, put a 50p I'd given her on the counter and she's going 'change, change' in her odd accent (I thought she meant change to like 2 20ps and a 10p etc) anyway, I said what to her as I didn't understand her.

This other person was there and he said 'oh she's telling you to change it because she doesn't like that one...' it's like wtf... the man even told her it was real and she went 'no, no, change change.' Anyway I changed it and the man goes, well she was rude didn't even say please or thank you.

Another thing is those who want a price check then don't understand that we're not allowed to do it on our till so we have to get someone to check. Then there's those who go away when we just checked a price so I have to get a manager for a void.

Those who say they don't have change when they give me £20 for a £1 thing when I've just started so I have no notes so need to give them like £19 coins.

Finally, those who can't understand when I say my tills closed and start putting stuff on.

[Matt]

ohmygod @Samanfa (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=68263); i've had that a few times lol. Where i give them like a 50 cents piece and they come back and want it changed because it isn't shiny enough or has a stupid little mark on the coin itself.. In my eyes its still money and i couldn't care less because ill probably go spend it elsewhere?!?! Why people are sometimes so rude but so damn stupid when it comes to going to the shops is beyond me!! Drives me mad!

And when I'm unsure and I'm scanning the lotto through the machine (going slower than flying through it like normal) and then the person is standing at the other side of the till telling me what to do .. its like, yeah although I'm slow, i know what im doing. Please bugger off and let me do the job im paid for..

[The Don]

people cracking jokes about the price of the cinema "i'll have to re mortgage my house" LOL HAHA not like i've never heard that one before
people complaining about not having a good seat in the cinema when they come late, get here on time/early if you want good seats
pikeys that come in every sunday from their camp and cause MAYHEM

[Sian]

gotta ask, what's so bad about a customer wanting to keep a hanger? Isn't it just as easy to put the hanger in the bag rather than throwing it in the bin thing they have? But anyway.

Because of my job, the night staff leaving they're stacks of stuff in the way and glaring at us when we move them, customers not saying thanks when I move out of the way in the middle of looking for an item, and my manager not telling me I'm not actually entitled to all my god damn holiday yet and ******* up my christmas holiday which I already booked flights for.

[Cerys]

to all you complaining; i'd happily have any of your jobs.
atleast you have/had one kty.

[Alkaz]

when the machine declines their card it becomes my fault and you have a go at me?
when the vending machine swallows their money and they want me to take money out of our till to compensate them for the machine we don't own.
when someone asks for a drink and you do it then they swear blind they asked for something totally different :l
when someone charged them a wrong, cheaper price then i charge them the right price next time they get angry and stressy with me.
when its really busy at their are loads of tickets in the kitchen and you're moaning you meal is taking longer than 5 minutes and want a refund. sorry no.
when im serving a customer and you rudely interupt telling me your drinks order when you can clearly see me serving :l

i hate rude people. i also hate it when people expect me to open up an hour earlier at this time of year for their own convenience. the opening times are the opening times.

[Futz]

to all you complaining; i'd happily have any of your jobs.
atleast you have/had one kty.

give it a week and you'd be straight back in this thread with a 6,000 word essay on why you hate your job

[Alkaz]

when your manager uncorrects your mistake twice and the till is down £250 and makes it sound like your mistake.

:l just happened

[Andeeh]

not fixing the dishwasher for 2 weeks meaning I'm handwashing everyones cups/saucers/other kitchen equipment all morning after serving breakfast and lunch to the residents/holiday makers.

go get a job then, yeah there's hardly any out there but with persistency you'll get one
be thankful that you get to enjoy all your free time/don't have to worry about your own finances


okay i've a huge update

-when i have to work 7-10 days in a row with no break, kill me now
- gypos that come in and stuff their pockets with ****
-just general scumbags coming in with hoods up that i know there's gonna be trouble
-when people forget their pin, like ******* what write it down in your phone if you're that stupid
-people that don't hang the pump back up correctly meaning i've to go out and do it before i can deal with the transaction
-people that get like 40 quid fuel come in and say they forgot their card/pin and they'll be back to pay later... YOU WOULDN'T DO THAT ANYWHERE ELSE SO WHY DO IT IN A PETROL STATION
-people that talk about me while i'm right infront of them
-people that feel since i'm a person serving them they have a right to comment freely on my appearance...positively OR negatively

[Cerys]

I would get a job if I could but not many places, if any, take on 14yr olds around here.. xD

I actually can't wait to grow up and create my own wage and manage it how I want etc.

[Futz]

Enjoy your youth Cery's! life was simpler when my only income was not eating for a week so I could save up the money my mom would give me for food :(

[Sharon]

i can't really think of any because i had it easy (though obviously i didn't 'appreciate' my job and got fired FROM MY OWN FAMILY BUSINESS)

- right no this is the most annoying. if you're over 9 you have to pay full price for your meal and if you're under it's half price so you ALWAYS get those ***** with kids who are like 13 and they're like NO THE KIDS ARE ALL 9 like come on really stop being an idiot but then we have to let them off with it anyway because it's not like we can go and prove it. pisses me off though, scroungers
- errrr once we had someone ordering a delivery when we about to close so we're like no sorry then they're like NO WHY NOT so i got bored and hung up and they kept ringing back to annoy me being horrible on the phone
- when people drink half their drink then they're like "my drink is flat i want a new one" oh it took you that long to notice
- KIDS who beg/demand a lollipop like we give EVERY kid a lollipop there is no need to walk over and scream at me for one
- people to take like a massive handful of the complimentary mints, it looks ridiculous and they're more expensive than you think
- MASSIVE parties of like 30 who don't leave a tip afterwards, i'm not gonna demand one but it's actually so ******* annoying to handle massive tables because they're extremely messy and getting them drinks is x10 the hassle of a table of four
- people who come in to use the toilet honestly
- anyone who stands in front of you when you're holding loads of drinks go away

[Meanies]

i work in a party/costume shop so people are fairly annoying.

- people opening costume packets even though there are a million signs saying to ask someone to do it for you
- same as tara with people giving you their card to put in the machine for them..
- people putting things back in the wrong places
- people ringing up asking the opening times. LOOK ONLINE PLS
- the amount of fluff and stuff that sticks to the carpet around the fitting rooms
- the way they bring up too much stock and it's all falling off the hooks constantly
- how they changed the angle of the cameras so its harder for me to look at my phone now
- travellers coming in and having to follow them everywhere they go
- the tiny kitchen which is barely big enough for one person
- people asking if there's something in another size because it isnt on the shelf
- little kids running around with balloons and getting the strings all tied up

[GommeInc]

So many complaints :P I can't imagine moaning so much (despite what seems obvious on here :P) I'm far too relaxed when doing voluntary work and when I was an audio/visual technician that was stressful but lovely, mainly because the elderly are amazing :P

I guess I'll have to take the step to actual paid work, then I'll have something to complain about. Heaven forbid.

work a day in retail and you'll understand.
people treat you as if you're not even human

omg literally everyone I knew did this
me and my friend always did it at lunch at school, but then would go to sainsburys after school so it was pointless



I don't really hate anything about my job (well babysitting...), I'm lucky yay

[GommeInc]

I can imagine that :P I've studied Retail and all I got from the module was that retail employees are treated worse than those dealing with the bins in the High Street outside :P

[efq]

i have to tell this person off who keeps going on facebook hrough the pc-based tills (as im the only one in-charge of the ICT and software etc) and now i will be hated.

yeah it sucks. take today, some woman asked for change of a 50 note but it's sunday meaning were low on change as we've not been to the bank since friday AND its a bank holiday weekend, so i told her im sorry I couldn't change it unless she bought something and she went INSANE. my manager came to my rescue by coming over (she was shouting) and saying to her 'this is not a bank'

I LOVE MY MANAGER
so i should probably get back to work

Customers are stupid, it's a shame they pay the wages :P Do you get a good mix of nice customers?

[wixard]

oh yeah of course, there are some genuinely lovely people out there who ask how i am/how's my day or to have a nice day. little things like that make a huge difference. I'd say it's about 60% normal/don't say anything customers then 40% just plain rude or don't say a word

[Smurfed-]

I work in a old people's home, making their drinks for them in the evening.

I give a resident a biscuit and they bite me if I don't move my hand away quickly. :|

[Samantha]

Those people who say 'alright' does that mean hi or how are you pick one!
Like I said I did work in Bradford but I thought that was bad with customers, my new store is so bad with the Manager.
I was new yesterday and I was in at 7am, I had a sore throat, cough the works but went in for an 11 hour shift.
I was put on 'Fill Shift' when I'd never done it before.
Then I had to spend 6 HOURS COLLAPSING AND STACKING CARDBOARD, I MEAN THE BRADFORD SHOP WAS BUSIER THAN THIS WHY DO YOU NEED SOMEONE TO DO THAT?
The fact Floor Staff aren't allowed to get prices for their items, why the hell not? Are the managers stupid.
Getting told that the managers are doing my job, are you ****, stop thinking you're the big I am you're like 20 you're still learning and you're so annoying. I was told I had to hurry up, sorry don't make pointless jobs then; even got accused of lying. I told a manager I can do 'barker's these long tickets for prices, I'm not incapable of putting them in the plastic things but how was I meant to know? Yeah manager 'ask and I'll explain anything' **** no you won't you explained nothing. He doesn't put it right until I've done the job, stacked loads of cardboard got told I was doing it wrong.
I'm 5 foot tall and 7 stone, I can't collapse cages, I can't carry alcohol with about 12 bottles in and you expect me to do 7 hours of that crap? Yeah my back is killing, I can't stand properly or manage to pull myself up out of bed. My arms are aching if I move them upwards (like when you have a jab). Urgh. However, today was great ngl I enjoyed it as that manager wasn't in.
Another thing, it's Sunday, at the Bradford store (like I said it's so much busier, we can't get off on a weekend on the till due to about 10 people queuing for each, at this store you can go off so many times) why the hell do you need over £200 in change? Bradford manage on £90. Show offs.
The fact I don't get a discount at this McDonald's :(.
Yeah your card should work, no it doesn't.
The customers aren't as bad as the Bradford store, they're nice and friendly because I know some of them.
The store entrance and exit, why have two separate ones, if we're doing baskets do you want us to wait until someone goes out of the exit door or walk half way round the shop.
Having tills the opposite way round and having those buttons turning your till on and off in front of you instead of at the side so I'm randomly moving my hand to my right to find no buttons and people thinking I'm odd.
I'll give this job a chance though don't worry :D.
Oh, yesterday, working from 7am as I said, didn't get a break until 12:15pm and that was it, in 11 hours I'm sure that's not on.

[Lee]

We were changing from breakfast to main menu the other day so some guy comes in and orders something I warn him he will be waiting up to five minutes he says ok. <-START HIS SNOTTY ATTITUDE HERE-> so five minutes later hes giving me the devils as I get his food together and as I hand it to him he says "I tell you now I wont be coming here again..." I thought to myself:

A) I did tell you it would be five minutes you cheeky ****.

B) Why are you telling me i'm paid £4.90p/h I don't give a **** if you come back or not you little horror.

[wixard]

this made me laugh a little too much

[Firehorse]

Not complaining about the job so much because I love my job, but yes some customers are definitely a pain. There's always that one customer who disregards the fact there's 10 people behind them waiting to be served and don't believe you when you tell them the seat they want has already been purchased by someone else. The queue often ends up trailing right out onto the pavement because of it.

(sorry for bump, woops)

[scott]

- When big groups come in and want to pay individually...had 48 people paying £8 seperately last night and cause of our system if you press one button wrong it would **** up the whole till cause you cant undo

- When people crack the same old jokes that everyone else does, heard them all before find something better to say. Guys: "haha I only wear my high heels on the weekend" great......

- When you tell customers there is a waiting time and they will have to wait and that's my fault because they decided just to show up on a Saturday night when it's really busy without considering booking - no it's your fault.

- lack of communication between staff and managers and then managers amke it out to be the staffs fault

"you must hate working here picking up all those clothes off the floor..." WELL I CAN'T SAY I DO IT FOR THE FUN OF IT!

When i say would you like a (bigger) bag and they say yes if you've got one... I wouldn't ask if I didn't have any.

Worst is when people just randomly ask for a bag, we're not allowed to give them out for security reasons and they take a proper strop!

Why would anyone want a Primark bag anyway? Got one in Blackpool after buying stuff, it was raining heavy and it broke all over the place so yeah. Plastic woo!

Also those who put their basket on the conveyor belt, you weren't lazy to put the shopping in so don't be lazy taking it out.

cos say like they had just been 2 the tills but then decided they wanted 2 double bag it incase it rips (thats usually the case) but we still aint allowed to give out more than needed lmao. oh and your ur 11 hour shift the other day, how much break did we get? If I work 6 hours I get an hour if I work a full day I get 15 mins then an hour then another 15 mins but it varies from company to company.

First 11 hour shift I got 30 mins (illegal I believe).
Second 11 hour shift I got 3 x 15 minute breaks.

Worst thing that's happened:

I transferred store 3 week ago, on that weekend I had an 11 hour shift then a 4 hour one - Friday on next week when I should be paid, nothing went in my bank, told Assistant Manager and she said I'll get put on system.
Next Friday I get one payment, thinking it was from one weekend I did - wrong, it was holiday pay from my old store. Turns out my old Manager hasn't sent my contract off so it's like I don't even work for the company, but got holiday pay and I didn't know I was down for that much.
Anyway, might have to have an induction again.

Overall if this weeks doesn't go in I'll be losing over £200.

[Cassiieee]

I work in a restaurant and it really ****s me off, when people go, Can I have a can of coke or something, when they see I have my hands full of plates! or,They'll say something like, Can I have a beer? I'll go get it, Can we also have a bottle of water, I'll go take it, then it's like can we have this also, I mean OMFG. Order it all at the same bloody time!!sdcqFQEFGVQWERG!

i'm a warden for my uni accommodation, where do i start?

- when people tell me their taps have broken and expect me to fix it there and then - i'm not a plumber!

- when your colleagues grass you up to your boss via email and don't delete the email...

- when people dismantle their fire alarms which sets the alarm off automatically and expect you to fix the issue, yeah that **** costs money to fix as you've damaged your flat



i could go on

[Metric1]

i hate people who don't return phone calls, don't answer their phones, don't answer e-mails, or answer them late. I also hate unprofessional emails, when people text me for work, ask me for my bbm to contact me. i also hate being on the road now because i have to eat such **** food it makes me fat, makes my car smell and makes me smell so i have to douse my self in cologne to cover the smell up. it's ******* ****. MY NUMBER ONE PET PEEVE IS WHEN PEOPLE GO TO ANSWER PHONE AND HANG UP.....

omg has anyone ever used complaints.co.uk? got so many funny ones about where I work (primark)

This one is my fav LMAO


discusted - Posted 19.03.2012i am not happy with how slow people work in the shop, the que last for hours! also the staff that work there are always unhappy and so rude. NEVER shopping there again.

Discusted? LMAO!!!! Isn't even true for me :(

[Camy]

working in retail really has heightened my hatred of people. more so when i worked on checkouts, loads of little things just add up. (the amount of people that treat you like you're stupid because you work in a shop is unreal.) although, working in the cafe part is equally as bad. alot of people seem to enjoy making your life difficult, and i don't know why people expect us to just make what they want, there's a menu for a reason, and it's only a supermarket cafe ffs.

[Recursion]

The backpack they gave me with my laptop has too many straps :(

[Luke]

- I don't care if the prices have increased
- no we don't sell chicken nuggets
- we got rid of cheesy BBQ rollers over 9 months ago. stop asking for them.
- if you want a bucket. tell me specifically - we sell 5 types of buckets, including different quantities
- I don't care if you want no ice, especially if you are 12 years old.
- no I will not bring your meal too your table unless you're really hot or old
- no you can not have ALL the chicken breasts
- I don't give a **** if the chicken is smaller than last week, blame Poland, that's where it comes from
- NO WE DON'T HAVE ANY HOTSHOTS AND I DON'T KMOW WHEN WE WILL
- no you can't have a refund after eating all 10 pieces of chicken and leaving the fries
- my cigarettes are more important than serving you
- no we don't have contactless payments, put your ******* card in.
- no we don't take American Express
- NO GROUP OF 20 kids, you may not sit in the restaurant if one of you buys a drink
- I don't care if you'll go to McDonald's instead, it means I never have to serve you again
- I DON'T CARE IF ITS 'FAST FOOD' THINGS STILL HAVE TO COOK. MORON.
- we do not do a strawberry Kreamball. the menu clearly states chocolate and caramel Kreamballs, and strawberry sundaes.
- I don't know what you want, a lot of the burgers have chicken in
- no we don't do skinny lattes
- yes the krushem isn't all the way to the top of the cup, there is a like printed on the side which we have to fill too
- no you may not have a filet burger without mayonnaise AFTER you've ordered it and paid cash. TELL ME BEFORE THEY MAKE IT.

I may add some more after my 9 hour shift tomorrow

Pensioners who insert their credit/debit card the wrong way round 50 times, enter their pin number wrong multiple times and block their card and then BLAME ME FOR THEIR CARD NOT WORKING

Pensioners who when I start packing for them yell at me for putting the frozen peas with their tinned foods

When they call me to checkouts (I hardly ever go on checkouts anymore because I have more important things to do), but when they do call me down its annoying

When staff make errors on the tills and I have to sort them out (being cash office staff)

When I burn myself in the bakery

When I have to do the stock count in the freezer for 30 minutes+

When we get short staffed and I have to run around like a headless chicken on multiple departments

When people invade my cash office early in the morning when I am still waking up

Idiots paying with 2ps and 1ps and holding the queue up

People dropping/spilling things

Back office computers being slow as ****

handheld PCs crashing on me

Customers turning into vultures when they see me with a reducing kit

Being put on chilled/frozen (ITS COLD)

Tills breaking and having to deal with all that crap

I have some more complaints as of today

- handheld ordering points losing wifi signal
- mops becoming frozen due to it being -2 outside
- customers trying to tell me that they got this for this price last week

ok so when you take a pump off it beeps at my till and I have to start your pump, unless you do something ******ed which makes the beep stop like try drag it over the roof of your car to fit in the other side. so I CAN'T turn the pump on because it's not registering.

so it's really busy and I see this guy do it the pump closest to me SO BEING NICE, I excuse myself from the customer im serving and go to the door at shout at him to put the pump back on then take it off and it wil work and he goes 'no' so I was like lol...ok

stupid ******* stood for about 30 seconds before doing as I said. was tempted not to turn it on

I work in retail. My only complaint is when people give me money, then in the meantime while I am getting their change they give me more money.

THIS! I hate it when I've already put the transaction through and they suddenly start bombarding me with little coins they want to get rid of.
Then you get people who refuse to pay in anything but fifties for something that costs £2 when you've just opened and don't have anywhere near enough change in your float; it's not a bank!

yeah my manager tells us to tell people who ask for change of their 50 to say 'sorry we're not a bank'
the worst are people who ask for change of a 50 and i say i can't, i've no change in the till or hardly any and then they pick up a pack of chewing gum and say 'here'

Those people who are just rude, today I was on the till where you shout managers and staff, so I had to shout down Max, my boyfriend (of course the customer didn't know he was my boyfriend). Anyway, I put something through twice accidentally so had to call him down, he comes down rather slow and customers are watching him walk down saying take your time, see you tomorrow etc. and I just thought it was unneeded, it's not his fault I did something wrong or his fault something scanned twice. Benefit of that is I get to tell him.

Another thing, I used to work in the Bradford store then transferred, I knew no one other than the workers at the first store, and I remember this customer who always used to buy Pepsi Max and ironically I was thinking about her and wondering if she still shopped there. Today I just look up and she's at another till buying loads of Pepsi Max, seriously? The first store was 45 minutes away from me and she's there? It was annoying as leaving that store meant I'd know more people but not the people who were at the first store :P.

Workers who have the same name or similar, at the shop I work at we have 3 Claires, 1 who works on the first aisle, one who works on till and fill shift and finally one who is a manager. We then have a Dan, Daniel and Danielle so we have to say so and so is Dan, you're Daniel and other is Danielle. Also 2 Lees, Toms, Chelseys and Adams too :rolleyes:.
