what was funny was when customers asked me if i worked there,  i would just be like na  i just wear this shirt and come in here to help people because im bored and have nothing else to do.

Used to work at a bank. A customer is trying to cash his son's check because he was a minor. I told them to do the whole " Pay to the order of ..." blah blah BS. His son said what's next dad, is he going to make us write an essay? With a straight face I said yes. Mad awkward but I was dying inside, and they ended up trying to be nice at the end of the transaction. People these days, straight idiots

Me-

"Sorry Ma'm whatever we have out on the floor is all we have"
Customer- "But why? You guys have those machines and wear houses back there i'm sure it wouldn't take long to make"
Me- "Ma'm again sorry but whats on the floor is all we have at the moment"
Customer-"Wow is everyone who works here lazy and inconsiderate!? I'm gunna file a complaint with your managers!"
Me- "Go for it

2) Dudes walk in and i say,

Me- "Hey welcome to FTL"
Dudes- "Oh hey, whats up" (they were all being loud and obnoxious and one takes a look at my DMPs i had on at the time and says)"Dam man those are fly but you ain't got these huh? Where these at?" Dude points down at clear cardinal 7s

I'd done it plenty of times, but when they found out I rolled with it, I got offers to do it in the stock room on our shifts (Nordstrom, btw). I never did it at work, but it was kind of a ridiculous situation. Also, we had customers who would go into a room with a couple pairs of jeans, ask you to come in and check it out, and they'd have lines cut for you on glass....it was insane. They'd buy $1,000 worth of denim, and give you lines to blow on top of it. I never did that either.

When I worked at Wherehouse Music in like 1998/1999

i'm not even gonna go over the %%!%#$$ questions/responses i get from people at the zoo...

but last week at my bar job some *@@%%%+ Euro came in and asked what cocktails we have. my coworker hit em with the

i was

we're a BAR. what do you mean what cocktails do we have???

real talk, Euros are the WORST. people talk about how much Americans are hated in foreign countries, but if you dealt with Euros on a regular basis like i do, you'd realize there's NO WAY Americans are worse over there. i cannot stand Euros. they don't tip. ask %%!%#$$ questions, are rude. all of it.

 

[sundizzle]

Euros ARE the worst! Seriously. I was in Thailand and was sick of listening to chicks that couldn't speak normal English (it gets annoying after a while, i appreciated their efforts). We decided to hit this 'foreigner' place up and it was a bunch of Russians, French and some other trash Euro's and no one could speak any English. I've never felt soooo off in my life. Being in a place surrounded by white people that couldn't speak English. Frustrating as all hell.

 

[superuntouchable]

I had one of our British customers (he seemed pretty drunk too) ask me over the phone "Are you of the darker persuasion?"....
Me: "Are you asking me if I'm black?"
Him: "Why, yes. Yes I am"
Me: "Yes. I am black" Followed by 5 mins of uncontrollable laughter.
The guy then tells me he is a jazz musician and asked me to perform a rap on his next project when he comes to the states.
By this time it's pretty clear he is Tony Stark drunk so I laugh a little more and disconnect the call.

 

[mzblue2u]

I work in a small department at the casino... So I work with the same people basically every day...we have all gotten pretty close over the years....so the one white guy that I work with pulled me to the side...and whispered in my ear... "Is it really true what they say about black guys and their you know what"...I dont think I had ever laughed that hard before....
