anyone work in retail? i feel for you

i'll start

customers paying by card who hand me their card, even though the machines right in front of them. so i put the card in for them, and then they just stand there and don't enter there pin SO I HAVE TO TELL THEM...even though the machine says it, and they act as if it's a huge chore. LEARN TO USE A ******* CARD MACHINE ALREADY

people who say 'well done' instead of thank you when i hand them their receipt or change...

when people come in at ten to 11 at night just before we close to get a carton of milk and then have the cheek to say 'i could get this half the price in tesco' oH MY GOD GO TO TESCO THEN

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

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.

ohmygod @Samanfa; 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..

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.
