    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. :|

    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 .
    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.

    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.

    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)

    - 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

    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.
