People/retail Unappreciation Vol: :|

@ BoTz LuVz 23z

Haha reminds me of the situations I was in. I can't see how people don't understand that if we don't have the size, we don't have that size!

 

[heartofthacity]

A lot of you guys are complete douches
..Like you have a problem when people ask if you work there..maybe they want to know if you were available to help them and not doing something
Your job is to help people..it's not that serious, if anything the "dumb people" should be easy to deal with, just tell them whats up.
I've worked at Wal Mart and Dunkin Donuts..Just assist people like you would like to be assisted, if someone gives you an attitude, deal with it
at the end of the day you walk out with a check...

 

[in the line for viis]

I still don't understand what's wrong with the shoe trace? Some of you complain that the parents of children don't know their child's size andthen expect all X year olds to wear the same size. But then when you get parents that actually took an extra step its dumb?

If I was working at a shoe store, I would take the trace to the shoe sizing gadget and come up with an approximation. Then tell lady "Ma'am, based onthe trace, I'd say your son/daughter is a size X, feel free to pick out a shoe, and I'll let you know if we have it in that size." Lady picks outshoe, you bring it out and then try to put the trace in it, if it goes in, ring her up, if it ends up not fitting, she's SOL, at least you tried.

This is all assuming that its a cutout and just not a piece of paper. If it is a piece of paper, I'd hand the parent a pair of scissors.

I have the worst stories though, but makes it even more unbearable is that half of them are %@!+#*% coworkers and not customers that I see every day

Why are you so quick to jump to conclusions? You know me? I'm at manager at DC ny. I damn well know alot more about retail than you do. And the first rule they should have thought you wherever you work is that the customers come first. Even if they are wrong. The customers always right

thats the rule, but how often is it really followed? for the customers who come in with good attitudes and act respectfully, they get fullyserviced but for those who come in with stanky attitudes, i just tell them straight forwardly that if there going to have an attitude with me then they can getsomeone else to help them or they can shop elsewhere. we have the right to refuse service signs ftw.

really though people are stupid. if you come in with a good attitude and treat people the way you want to be treated, 95% of the time you'll get goodservice, and sometimes you'll even get discounts your looking for if you know how to talk and approach people.

i can tolerate the stupid questions if the customer doesn't have a bad attitude or if its not their fault their uninformed, but rude people who can'tpick up after themselves and don't know how to talk and act in public need to be gone its as simple as that.

and for the record, my store gets alot of complaints made to corporate about our service and attitudes but at the same time we get twice as many good callsabout our service, and our corporate knows wusup most of the time, that most of the complainers are just telling half of the story and bs'ing. i train myemployees to have some balls and not let people walk over them or disrespect them and apperantly what i do works, because my store puts up good numbers, wealways make our sales goals, and stuff rarely ever gets stolen.

lmao @ the shoe stories. i myself work at wholefoods and its just as bad as some of the stories posted above. just the other day some woman comes to myregister with an empty container from the hot food bar. i look at her then look in the container and see crumbs and her chewing so i say "what isthis?" she begins to tell me what was in it before she ate it. so i ask her how does she want me to weigh her food if she already ate it? she tells me tojust charge her whatever so had i sat my butt on the scale and weighed my self and charged her "whatever" for it she would have been paying a niceamount of money for her empty container. thats just one of the many idiot stories i have.

 

[ericescobar]

some of these stories aren't real STORIES. some of you guys need to step your game up

I never said i had a problem with stupid questions my problem i said, "people that you deal with that make things harder than it shouldbe." those are people that try to haggle and are just out right rude to you. My store has probably the best customer service in our mall, but all imsaying that there are alot of difficult people out there that makes thing harder than it should be.

 

[bbrroowwnnssuuggaarr]

The customers always right
Nope and I have no problem letting them know. Ive worked in retail from Nike to Macys to Smart N Final to Lowes. Ive dealtwith and seen it all. I have no patience for people with no common sense and cant read signs. Ive gone off on atleast one customer every job ive had. I alwayshelp the customer and do go out of my way to answer their ?s with the best of my abilities but theres always someone who is just flat out ******ed and rude. Ialways talk calm and stay cool but if someone catches an attitude and starts disrespecting me I return them the same courtesy.

QFT.

i wanted to yank shoeforms out of many little kids' hands...running around the store clappin them things like it was recess...

 

[shuhbonkboo]

Oh here's another one:
When a customer puts a shoe he/she was looking at back on the wall in the WRONG direction. I mean come on. All of the shoes are like this:
> > >* > > >

* indicating the shoe in reference

And he/she (kids and adults do it) puts it back like this:
> > < > > >

That always makes me go

dude i worked at target too, and i know all about that. Not only at christmas time man, people did that all year round to me

If you are a person of long-term thinking then retail jobs are gold. Just think of the skills and not the bills.
