I just got off from work from a frustrating day. and all I can say is I'm glad that it's over with!
I work in Retail. and I been doing it for the past 3 years and honestly I need a change, anyways here are the things that grind my gears when it comes to customers.
1. When I'm pushing a cart near a narrow aisle/lane that I cant put off to the side because pallets are in my way and I see a couple walking next to each other. will one of you please stop and just go behind each other for just a sec till I'm out of your way? these type of customers act as if it'll kill em if they not standing side by side for just a moment.. it wouldn't make any difference if I was to stop because there is no space on my side for me to pull off on and then you give me this ugly look but yet clearly there is plenty of space and gaps on your side. 😑
2.Customers that see something empty of the shelf and ask you to go to the back room. I'll have to scan the item and check and see if we have it in the back or not, because I just cant go back there and pull something off from there especially if we have hundreds or items in the back,(I also have to find the correct bin too) ( sometimes the bins be empty. or if I do not work in a certain department I'll have to find the correct bin for that area) that you need this from or whatever. also please keep in mind every time I go to the back to get something it stops me from what I'm doing, slowing me down and putting me on pause on stocking merchandise on the shelf. also more than likely you're not the only one that asks me to go to the back. If we don't have a item on the shelf we just don't have it. you just have to wait till the items arrives and that can take days..months..weeks it's hard to say because I use a telxon I don't have those fancy mc40's plus that's something a department manager or some member of management that will have to fix when it comes to empty spots and that's out of my control.
3. Kids... Please watch and monitor your kids.. nuff said. they are your responsibility. not mine..
4. Say Thank you.. it wouldn't hurt to say thanks.. I know I'm just doing my job to the best of my ability but come on.
5. We are human so we have to learn some parts of a store. some of us are new some of us aren't So please keep in mind some of us are assign to certain departments,( just because you see me in this uniform doesn't mean I work in the area so I'll try to help you the best way I can.. if I can't I'll try to get someone.) some of us are still learning.. heck even I am!
6. Just because you see it online.. doest fricking mean we have it in the store! EVERY STORE IS DIFFERENT. Some things you'll have to just order.. sorry not sorry.
*I may add more to this later so check back for updates! :)
