"Khakis stained bright red like a savage business casual warlord"
That's a beautiful description 👏
If they are stained red they are no longer khaki.
I work in a DIY store, once had a person returning a petrol powered chainsaw that was faulty. We're not allowed to have fuel in power tools in our shop, so I tell the customer that he needs to leave and empty it out into a fuel can off site. The next thing I see is said customer emptying said chainsaw into a paper cup that was balanced precariously on top of the cigarette bin we have at the front of the store. I have never screamed at a customer before but I think that my "Stop! Stop! For the love of God, Stop!" Was justified.
LMAO I saw this one on reddit, Was that you who posted it?
@@jamiexavier1546 no, but I did post it on Not always right.com, I suspect it may of been transferred to Redit from there.
@@locutus155 A channel called "Fun with Failure" Read it on a video and i think he said he got it from Not quite right
@@jamiexavier1546 Hey, Fun with Failure! I’m subscribed to him.
I stock shelves for Walmart and I’ve only been their for about a month and I feel like I’ve already seen the worst in humanity. I works nights because I am a college student and need my day free for classes and I’ve been witness to 3 code browns ( acts of violence ) 1 code Adam ( the kid never came in with his mom and stayed in the car) 4 different people losing their keys and filing a police report, and 1 of my co workers got her car set on fire while she was working because a guy tried to break into the car and when the alarm went of he poured gasoline on in and burned it to a crisp. It’s only my first month at here and every time I ask why are people like this I have to remind myself I work at freaking Walmart.
Shelves*
I worked 3rd shift at Hellmart for 9 long years. Imagine what I saw.
WalMart is Earths Mos Eisley......
Was there any reimbursement for the one that got her car set on fire?
You have my condolences
I work at petsmart and the other day an ild lady said she wanted to make sure she didn’t buy any homosexual fish
Malcolm Hodnett I’m guessing they watch a lot of Alex Jones?
You should have told her that you were, in fact, a homosexual fish.
@@KnakuanaRka apparently we had left the posts about masks in the dressing rooms, and just last night I found out (because of sober customer who was loudly telling her friends about it) that somebody stupidly wrote on it "vax=poison, Alex Jones was right."
I'm just glad it was on the paper and not written on the wall, it's easier to throw trash away than to scrub off stupidity.
That was a straight move.
Damn chemicals in the water making all the fish gay
I once had a man yelling at me when I was filling shelves at the grocery store I worked at because the cart I had the products on was blocking his path and then he yelled at me to keep my distance because off Covid as he didn’t want to be killed. Next, I saw him going to the cash registers and he began yelling at a lady for skipping the line when she didn’t and just got in earlier. I complained to the manager and he said that atleast 10 other customers were annoyed by him and next time they saw him they told him to keep his mouth shut about the employees and customers otherwise they would throw him out. He did and I never heard from him again.
Another story that happened when I wasn’t there at work, but is creepy but also wholesome at the end. One evening and old guy accidentally tripped and fell in a glass door for the fridge with dairy products. The glass shattered and he hit his head on the edge off an iron shelf. Blood gushed out of his head like a fountain. Customers and employees were terrified and we couldn’t even move him to the back so they just laid some blankets and towels on the floor so he could rest his head. The store was even temporarily closed until the ambulance came. After a few minutes both the police and ambulance arrived and took him away.
It was a creepy sight, shattered glass and blood everywhere. Like I said, the manager closed the store to clean it up.
Luckily the man was able to recover in hospital, but suffered a concussion, fractured skull and severe blood loss. But he made it and recovered.
A week later we got some flowers, a bag off sweets and a big thank you card from his family for helping him out that day.
The collagen story pissed me off the most. I dont understand people that cant go further than a single word description of an item they are looking for. And also dont speak up when they aren't even in the ballpark of what they are looking for. For the love of whatever deity these idiots so foolishly venerate, it isnt difficult to just say, "for cooking" right up front.
Bofore employee could ask, if they are confused
That usually dosent help. If you can believe it.
Yeah, you’d think this guy would have figured out that there was a misunderstanding when they went into the pharmaceutical section and add “broth” or something. 🙄 Some people are just completely oblivious.
I was a customer but one time I saw a lady washing her hair in the Target bathroom. She was super friendly lol she said hi and everything she was just...washing her hair in a Target bathroom.
Probably homeless :( which is a sad thing to be.
When apartheid finished in South Africa ,a friend who was living there then said that the black South African women would go into the washrooms of the Department stores just to wash their feet!
Some years ago my mom was a nurse at a small doctors office. One of her jobs was to answer the phone when the receptionist was at lunch. Shortly after taking over the phone duties, she received a phone call with a woman asking "Do you have a Sexhour there? Now mom had had a particularly hard day and was so flustered by the question she just responded with the first thought that came to mind. She said, " A Sexhour? Lady we don't even get a coffee break here." As it turned out, there was ANOTHER doctors office that had almost the same phone number and there was indeed a Dr.
Sexhour working there.
Poor guy; imagine being named Sexhour.
LMFAO
I've been in retail for like 17 years and I've seen some crazy shit but 2 stories stick out to me. I worked at target and suddenly over our walkie talkies a person starts saying they need a clean up at the food court because someone pooped on the floor. I happened to be working the fitting roim at the time and just happened to have the 1 walkie that wouldn't turn off and was constantly stuck at the loudest volume. There's a guy waiting for his daughter when suddenly like 2 seconds after whoever had called for a clean up starts screaming that and I quote "There's fucking shit everywhere and the guests are starting to eat it CODE BROWN! CODE BROWN!" I ended up pulling the battery out and profusely apologize to the guy and his daughter. The second craziest thing was at my current job at claires. A group of people come in shop around for about 10 minutes and leave. As I'm walking through the store I notice the stroller they had come in with I then go to roll it to the front and notice their BABY is in the stroller. I run out trying to see if I could spot them. I then flag down security. As I'm talking to security I spot the family thinking they're comming back for their baby they forgot but they were heading toward the exit. I then get their attention and asked them if they were missing something they say no and I then point at the stroller and I said I think you left your baby in our store. The security guard lights into them. They legit hadn't notice they left their baby in our store smdh.
One of my stepfather's classic stories from Lowe's: a customer asks him "can you put flat paint on a round pole?" (Flat means the paint isn't shiny, nothing to do with the surface you are putting it on. More likely ignorance and no prior experience than stupidity)
But then...
There was someone who came in asking for help making a frame to put his diploma in, as he just graduated from university.
"What did you major in?"
"Mechanical engineering."
Now that is sad....
Not much makes me "stop in my tracks" but __can you put flat paint on a round pole__ sure did. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Everyone knows that there is gonna be a Karen in one of these stories.
the weirdest story i’ve experienced was when some dude ran in after closing (somehow he got in?) in a bad cosplay of some sort and tried to rob us at gunpoint with what looked like a toy gun. he also said he had a bomb and was holding a clearly handmade prop made of tinfoil and like glued on beads. the thing is that the other people thought it was all real, which i don’t blame them for especially in the heat of the moment, so he escaped with like $5k and still hasn’t been caught by police. the guy is unskilled at robbing and he still succeeded.
Basically worked at a high end Japanese supermarket for a while, this lady basically asked me for a couple hundred grams of shabu shabu, so I took it. Was convinced it was not fresh even though literally minutes before she came we just cut and displayed. She almost got mad at me because she doesn't trust me and wanted a 'reliable source', so I had to run back into the kitchen and asked the butcher, he went out and had to talk to the customer...
5 minutes later I hear him and the entire kitchen cursing lmao...
Woman smelled like death in every sense of the word. She was morbidly obese. Her hair was a matted mess. Crazy cat lady pajamas on. She looked so sick I didn’t know how she was able to walk. Took forever to check out. My manager and a coworker was behind her when she came up to the till. Coworker was kneeling over to take something out of a box. He suddenly stood up spun around and got “What the...” out of his mouth before the manager just covered his mouth and dragged him away so he wouldn’t cause a scene. Customer literally took 5 min to check out, all while I’m dying to breathe. She finally leaves with the few things she was so indecisive about buying. My manager comes up to me and just says “Go!” I make a B line to the bathroom and vomit for 10 min. How can someone not know they smell like that.
I know that smell. It was a man and it was all I could do not to throw up. How do they stand it themselves? I want to gag now just thinking about it.
I've wondered too but I guess some people either get used to it or have weaker noses?
I can usually handle it, from old mothball smell to animal smell. But I remember this one guy who came in every now and again at nights and he smelled so bad, I couldn't be around. I'd go to the back or try to find something that smells good to sniff like scented candles or dryer sheets.
Last Christmas season I was shopping at Meijer (a supermarket in Ohio, Michigan, and I don’t know where else) when someone came in smelling absolutely vile. It was near the entrance, so I thought for a minute that a skunk had somehow wandered into the parking lot and gotten run over by a car. I went to a different section, but after a few minutes the person came to that section too. I had to go at least three aisles away before I could breathe easily. What’s even sadder is that Halloween there was a group of trick-or-treaters with a guardian who stunk like that. Imagine being the child whose parent/guardian stinks. Some people have no pride or thought for other people. Note: It would be one thing if it were a situation beyond the person’s control (like they had no running water because they were so poor they had to choose between paying utilities and having food/medicine/heat); I’m talking about people who reek because they just don’t give a flip.
I knew one older gentleman (60 to 70 years old) who smelled so bad that we could smell him 10 feet away; he would always leave a stinky waft behind. He was a nice guy and he probably needed help, but Jesus Christ on a bicycle, it was so hard to hide it that I would gag when he wasn't looking.
@@karaoconnoraliasraidra There are medical conditions that provoke this .
Lady asks if the live lobsters are fresh.
Ma'am they are alive.
Yes, I know but are they fresh!
That made me have a flashback to Kitchen Nightmares. “That lobster was fresh! Even though it died, it was fresh!” 🦞
@@karaoconnoraliasraidra Oh Heavens I am laughing. Recently commented this elsewhere and had a rockin good time in the comments. Thanks so much for commenting.
@@anniekinsmishkamouse7575 :-D
I had a customer call the corporate offices and complained because I gave her a discount I wasnt technically aloud to give her because halfway through checking out the store lost power just long enough for the registers to restart and she waited 20 minutes for them to come back on / ring up all her stuff
Wait, she complained about getting a discount?
@@jasondyrkacz8270 some people just want to complain.
I've worked in retail for nearly 15 years.
The stories I can tell.
I work in a retail store specialising on drinks in Germany.
Yesterday while I had shift, a man comes in giving back 8 empty bottles of beer. And when he saw the receipt he was like "But I had 9 bottles, not 8". I counted the bottles. 8. Not 9.
Then he got furious and said "I'll talk to the manager bye." The lady behind him shook her head while I did the same. My boss is chill about such stuff cuz everyday something like that somehow happens. He said "yeah I'll take a look on the CCTV and then we'll see".
So I was left at my counter, being terrified and furious about that man. When he talked to my boss I could hear him and he said rude things about me. I dunno how my boss then negotiated with him.
The dislikes are just Karen’s who think that all this is reasonable
Oh wait, it isn't?
or people who hate the oversaturated reddit reading market that requires very little effort
Dear Karen
come on it’s entertaining and I don’t have to do anything
P.s the reason their is an over saturation is because people like it Karen
Updoot Everything, I demand you get me your manager! I’ll have your job for this!
This is offensive! Delete this now or I'll speak to your MANAGER!!!!!!
Today was really hard.
It's my second day on the job (I've done retail before so not completely new to the degeneracy) and a lovely disabled lady came to pay.
This lady wanted a home delivery (we take her shopping and put them into crates to ship out the same day). She had a lot of things, so it took a while, but I didn't mind.
Meanwhile, the que begins to build up to a lot of people and we couldn't open another till as there were staff shortages.
Other customers then start making rude comments at the disabled lady and myself for not being fast enough (little do they know I have autism and asthma and am also disabled).
I really had to bite my tongue today. They joked about her being homeless and to address the delivery to "no fixed abode". I was disgusted, but tried to be fast as to not hold up the que much longer.
I'm sorry. That sucks.
As an autistic person, those people suck. I've learned to handle my meltdowns pretty well, with a little help from my friends, and kinda just mock them and give them the middle finger when they don't look or have nice customers come to my aid. A lot of the people love me there.
I’ve been in retail 10 years now. My soul is so numb that last week i stood next to two drug addled lunatics having a throw down at the local aldi. I watched the whole thing with detached interest, waited for them to roll out of the way and casually grabbed the cereal i wanted before strolling to the cash register while police stormed in to, I presume, arrest them. I shared a look with the girl at the cash register and shrugged. “Saturday nights, huh.”
One time I got written up because a customer complained that I was not acknowledging her toddler while I was ringing her up. Still not sure which is worse, that the woman lodged the complaint or that management actually wrote me up for it.
Retail is a special industry
Management especially. Don't have enough brainpower to strike a match.
Spineless managers are the worst
15:08 got something similar. I worked at JCPenney in highschool, and my shoe dept also sold purses, scarves etc. positioned across the aisle from my registers. I was ringing out this couple when a lady in a motorized wheelchair accidentally hit the leg of the display table of purses, broke the leg and down came a glass shelf with about 12 purses on it. I ran to go help the lady and the other woman’s husband ran from the counter to help me lift the table up. I called my boss $ 3 other coworkers to assist me and the wheelchair lady told me she was ok and was sorry. I sent her on her way, and the other couple went downstairs and complained to the other manager that I “refused to ring their stuff up”. I told the boss to go watch the cameras bc I had a lady in a wheelchair BURIED under purses and glass shelves. They duct taped the leg of the table and guess who got a write up.
Worked in a shoe store and on two separate occasions while I was straightening boxes in the Converse aisle I had someone ask me where the Converse were. It's surprisingly hard to point out the obvious without looking like a sarcastic bitch in the process, but fortunately they were nice and just laughed at themselves.
When a self checkout machine was booting up, one customer pressed the ‘setup’ prompt. Took 3 days before we could get it fixed.
0:33 “the BAG is dirty” even the narrator is in disbelief
Lmao one time a lady said I accused her of stealing an extra plastic bag when I accidentally added another 5 pence plastic bag onto her receipt. Oh, and one time when I was working behind the bakery counter in the same store I was yelled at and called lazy by a woman when I asked her to please stop touching all the pastries with her bare hands and putting them back down.
Tj Maxx worker here. One that stood out to me the most was a customer that had a pair of pajamas and asked me what the “strange pattern” on the side was. It was the different phases of the moon. It was regular pictures of the moon. So I said “that would be the moon”. She asked me what that was so I told if she’s lucky she might see it in an hour in the sky. She bought the pants and thanked me. I genuinely can’t tell if she was joking or not…
Man , I knew this subject would be brutal. Retail is the most horrible experience anyone can have.......
1:55 - My mother was actually accused of stealing at a Macy's because she had been near the entrance/exit with a shirt when she *actually had been looking for the bathrooms*
This particular Macy's had situated the bathrooms right next to the Entrance/Exits, like, down long hallways right next to the exits.
She, an older lady and a long time customer of several years with a Macy's account, loyalty card, and absolutely no history of theft or misbehavior, everything, was told to stay in place until the police came while she literally needed to go to the bathroom - also which did not have any side exits, etc, ended up nearly having an incident, had to go to court where even the court lawyer was staring at us in disbelief and just told her to do some token community service.
12:55 - Take it up with corporate, every damn day there's some "Sale", there never *isn't* a sale, and everyone is handed 20-40% coupons which can be slapped on top of the "Sale". JCPenny tried to cut that shit out, "Real Prices" and it cost them their customer base.
Omg that fruit raisins story reminds me of this girl I had to deal with who wanted fresh potatoes. I took her to the veg where all our potato's are. Nope. She wants fresh potatoes. Cold potato's. I say we dont store them in the chillers, but she is free to put a potato in her fridge if she wants. After a long time of trying to figure out what kind of fresh potato this frustrating girl wanted, we found that she wanted a freaking jacket potato ready meal with cheese......
14:08 thats some solidarity man
lady was pissed at me for giving her a dirty quarter as change once
I work at a grocery store. The other day, it was 9am, the store was oddly busy, and a woman calls me over on the self-checkout. She tells me that her note cards are ringing up the wrong price and they were marked $1.99 (they showed $2.49). So, as a kind human, I call another person to ask them to check the price for me, and even check online myself. The $2.50 price was correct. The $1.99 was for the store brand, which she didn't buy. When I told her, she instantly lost her crap and goes, "Well that shouldn't happen. You need to fix this." To which I reply, "I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do, but if you'd like you can buy the other brand. Or I can just take them off for you." And she gets, "OH YOU LOOK REALLL SORRY. YOU WORK HERE THIS IS YOUR FAULT AND YOU NEED TO FIX THIS." I was like ummm I have no control over every other employee, but okay. So again, I apologized and took them off and she was straight screaming at me lol. Like other customers asked if I was okay after. I was chillin, im so used to it anymore.
Idk why the fruit story made me laugh my ass off
IM NOT SCARED PANCAKE MAN, GO AWAY!!!
O there we go now he's gone. I was pretty scared back there.
PTSD man
This just happened lastnight…I was doing inventory And this middle eastern man with his kid comes up to me asking me a question but I couldn’t understand him clearly due to his heavy accent…luckily my middle eastern coworker was right near us so I called her to us and I asked her if she can help him…once she started speaking to him in Arabic, this dude went from 0 to 100…literally threw his water bottle across the room almost hitting us and started to yell at both of us saying that we probably think he is stupid or something and that he is fluent in English…ok surely he wasn’t fluent in English because I clearly couldn’t understand him well and he also couldn’t understand me when he first came up to me…all he had to do was nicely say “”I don’t need translation assistance thank you”” but he just decided to act a fool of himself and make a big scene in front of other customers and in front of 5 managers that had come to see what was happening…poor kid of his looked scared. Pretty much the next day all of the entire managers and all of the employees had heard about him saying what a psycho he was…he literally became the store’s employees laughingstock. Obviously me and my coworker didn’t get in trouble because we did nothing wrong and all the 5 managers that were there near us that had witnessed the whole thing, they were on our side
Business casual warlord may be the greatest phrase I've ever heard.
Man I work with sells windows. Couple comes in and wants to cash and carry replacement windows (NOT new construction). He says “I’ll need the opening measurements.” They respond, “Why are you being so hostile?!”
I'm not scared!
But that be a good idea for scaring toddlers
Not me, but my friend, (while I was working at Walmart) a man came up to her register demanding that the medium size tortillas be discounted to the price amount of the small size tortillas.
She declined and the man began to throw a raging fit, cussing and screaming at her that he demands it, she refused and called management, the man then took management to the area where the tortillas were--in hope of--persisting them to give him a two dollar discount.
They refused.
In return, he started cussing at them, as well, declaring he is 'paying customer' and demands to be respected. Starting to pull things off the shelf.
He was taken out in handcuffs and banned from ever shopping at that Walmart again.
HEY! GIVE ME MORE FOOD FOR THE PRICE OF LESS! NO?! HOW DARE YOU F***ING BI*** I WANT TO SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER! THEY AGREE! HOW DARE THEY!
“He was taken out in handcuffs and banned.” This is how these stories about abusive customers should end. Managers need to learn catering to abusive people and con artists hurts everyone.
Spam man was strangely wholesome
I work at Wal-Mart. No need to say anything else we all know it's horrible.
did she really expect her hubby Jeff to be straight out of the Terminator lifting coffin caskets with one arm haha
🤣💀
I once had a woman complain cus her clothes were coming out the drier creased😶
As an Australian can someone pls explain to me what being “Australia on the world map of Target” means
Ethan Low Some people look at Australia as a strange and/or dangerous place because of all the unusual and/or poisonous animals that live there. I guess they meant you're likely to see things you don't see in other places.
Kara O'Connor Yeah, I can’t believe other countries don’t ride their Kangaroo to work everyday??
yeah lol australia is the only place where i would actually be cautious around spiders and snakes, i live in the northwest united states where most spiders and snakes are harmless, besides hobo spiders and black widows and stuff. but those aren't everywhere. they just feel weird to touch, but in australia spiders are kind of a nightmare to me.
@@ceasinghornet40d40 Yeah, I'd be more concerned around the schools there

Here in Sweden we have a specific store for alcohol above 3.5%. When tourists come here for vacation they always look confused over the lack of the stronger stuff. One day while is was shopping for food a large German lady in a grocery store asked me about an expensive bottle of wine. I told her to go to the liquor store across the street since they don't sell them here. Well apparently that was the wrong thing to say. She scoffed and went over to an employee and told me that is was rude to not fetch her a wine bottle. When the employee said the exact same thing as i did she repeated her demand without accepting her mistake. Idiot.
I work in a kitchen store and it was my first shift working alone, I had a guy ask me what I recommended (like in the whole store) and I showed him some popular mugs because they’re great gift ideas and there’s lots of designs to choose from
And he asks what my favorite is, so I tell him.
He asks how long I’ve been working there for and when I work
This dude then UNPROVOKED looked me in the eyes and said «three of my girlfriends had sex with my brother and I just feel so betrayed»
And I couldn’t not laugh
He then said my eyes were like pearls and they reminded him of the ocean, and asked me out
To which I said «I’m sorry but I don’t like boys»
He goes «you’re a.. lesbian?»
I’m like yeah
He then asks for a hug and I say no because I don’t know him
He gives me a fistbump instead and walks away
But as he’s almost out of the store he turns around and says
«You won’t report me for sexual harrasment right?»

Had a guy ask me about frozen meat for making sandwiches one day when I was stocking the freezer section at a grocery store...I show him the steak-umms and he takes one look at it and says , " oh I don't want a frozen sandwich,I want to make my own!" I then explained that it is only sliced frozen beef in the box...not a whole sandwich.
I guess he couldn't reason that a whole big ass sandwich like the picture on the box couldn't fit into a package not much thicker than a deck of playing cards.
Tried to use the staff bathroom and found a homeless man washing himself in the toilet. This was after he took a shit in the toilet so when i interrupted he threw the log of shit at me. We had to call the police to get him out. Nobody knows how he got to the staff bathroom since you have to have a code to get in the back and then a key to get into the bathroom. He didnt have the key.
here because i just started in retail (first job ever, second day) and just had a panic attack because of a customer so now im here to cope
Hoo boy. So I used to work at a large regional grocery store chain, and there was this guy who would follow certain people around and leave those little religious comics everywhere, the ones that talk about being gay and drag queens and stuff and about how if you like any of those things you're going to Hell. I was one of the people he tended to follow (I'm very androgynous-looking, and have colored hair and piercings), and one day one of my managers got on his case about it. He started screaming at her and calling her a "devil woman" (she also had colored hair, and had tons of tattoos) until the store manager came down and told him to get out. He's now permanently banned from that store.
I work at a dollar store (cheap things, not all a dollar.) I'm usually at the counter. Behind the counter in plain view is the large cigarette cabinet and our wall of helium balloons with helium tank. More than six times I have had people look straight at me and ask if we have cigarettes or balloons.
Another two times I had separate people bring up a block of Philadelphia cream cheese and ask if it's the only butter we had in. These are just the irritating things.
Well... Some sheds need to be put together as they're sold in parts, so I'm guessing lady thought they'd be getting the parts that her epic hubby could carry, and was taken aback when she was presented with a fully built shed
Guy screamed, belittled me, insulted me and my freight forwarding company all because I didn't address him as Dr. X on the phone
It said nowhere on the contract that he was a Dr.
Once had a customer ask me if our sewing machines were manual or automatic
I got mad confused because they’re obviously all electronic so I asked what she meant
Ya know how sewing machines have that turn knob on the side ? To lift the needle when you want to pull the fabric out ?
She thought you were supposed to just continuously turn that to sew stuff with manual sewing machines
Ashen Voice As someone whose mother sewed, that story hurt.
I wonder if the smoothie shaver at Target was playing a prank or something wtf
3:54- I once had a doctor who seemed to view ham as a health food. She seriously wanted me to eat ham twice a day every day. She made other stupid and untrue comments as well, so needless to say, I don't go to that doctor anymore. I was about to say at least the woman in the story had more sense, but then I wondered what if she had a quack doctor like that and that's why she thought ham was healthy.
Not me, but my mom was waiting in customer services for hours to return a pair of pants. Why? Some dude came to return a USED for SEVEN years toilet seat... he had the receipt and the original boxing and everything and the poor woman had to take it back and allow him to get a new one for free... I think they upped their policy after that one...
Then, once, in Costco, during Corona, they were LOADED with toilet paper. Like, it was a KINGDOM. We had a pack in our cart and this woman came up and asked us where it was... My dad pointed to an aisle where you could clearly see it... woman tried to take ours... people are weird.
I thought spam guy was actually pretty polite though
I worked at Kmart for six years, I have tons of horror stories.
Customer: *Approaches me with a can of beer* "Can I take this out to the car and show my wife? I want to make sure it's the one she wants before I buy it."
Me: *Laughs because I think it's a joke*
Customer: *With a straight face* "Well can I?"
Me: "Wait, you're serious?"
Customer: "Yes."
Me: "How many times has this worked for you, I'm very curious right now."
Used to work at a restaurant.
An old woman ordered a crab salad.
After eating most of it she complained that it was cold.
It's supposed to be cold!
Kept putting her parts on that she shouldn't be charged full price for a meal that she didn't finish.
I talk to my manager about it and he discounts her bill.
She would constantly keep coming back, and would always have a new complaint about every meal that she ever ordered so she could get money off!
I hate entitled people like that!
Even just saying "I used to work at Walmart" is something.
"Fruit?"
"Vegetables."
The guy who called raisins fruit is very concerning
“Madam, it is a building.” 😂
Would've expected the women stealing raw meat to put them down their shirt either inbetween their breasts or act like the extra push made by the raw meat on their shirt is the breasts.
3:52 that is my 94 your old mother in a nutshell. No food is any good anymore, nothing is made the right way!!!!
Some sheds come it parts, so it's kind of understandable
A story from Zach hazard, a guy came into a shop and asked for a "shotgun with a cheese grater on them"
Lol I’m here because I work at retail.🤣 I want to hear crazy stories and I can imagine these... unfortunately
I did Mardi Graw one year and when my grandmother did the dress she decided to stick the pins in the dress while it was on me, I have pins in a nice fluffy dress and they are stabbing me and I’m trying to not scream my head off because of it
Someone called my sister "unamerican" because she didn't like chocolate (she can't eat most chocolate because she's allergic to nuts)
omg i work at h&m and that first story better not happen to me
I worked at a store we'll call "Not-So-Small-Mart." It had taken over a store we'll call "J-Mart." Jmart moved to the local mall, and I was hired to Not-So-Small-Mart just before it opened. Since the store opened late winter-early spring, we only had summer stock.
A couple of months after the grand opening, I saw a man with a propane heater. I asked him if he needed some help. He cursed me up and down, saying that he KNOWS that he bought the heater here the previous fall and we don't know what we were doing, etc. I explained that that fall, J-mart was there, and they moved to the mall.
Nope, we were screwing with him, and we were all incompetent. I say I'm still considered new and I'm not familiar with the layout. Let's go back to the Customer service Desk and find out what's going on.
We nearly reach the front, and I let him go ahead of me, cursing all the way there. It was then I noticed a security sticker on the box.
"Sir," I said. "That sticker is for 'Sames' (a third department store in the same city that had been at that spot for years before either Not-So-Small-Mart or J-Mart opened).'"
He walked out of the store without another word.
I use to work at shoppers drug mart. I had this psycho Karen got into a fight with me because she did not want to pay $1.22 for her medication claiming that her insurance covered 100% costs of all medication, it didn't. I told her that's what the price came to after insurance and she had to pay it. It got so bad the pharmacist had to come over and she called him a racial slur when he refused to give her medication to her for free and that she had to pay the $1.22. He told her that this was a pharmacy not a charity and that if she could not pay $1.22 for her medication she should go to the parking lot and look for change on the ground. He then kicked her out of the store.
I'm not scared
Because I never encountered any Karens so far
Collagen story: And this is why I always ask a customer what they're doing with it. Well, that and so I can suggest related items they might not have thought about.
Used to cashier at Lowe's, forgive me.
He buys a lot of Spam! Spam Spam Spam! Eat a lot of Spam! He's going to eat nothing but Spam for the rest of his life! Spam!
That's funny!
What is with people and smearing shit in the store😂
Customers always asking me at marshalls about where sizes on blouses I don't speak spanish and asking where they carry sizes on such and such the size is on their look every here around the item . I work in fitting room tell them you have to check size and i do not do pricing of the clothing item.
Oh no, it's the pancake man. Let's put some syrup on him.
Collagen is in the vitamins section
At least spam guy was polite
IM NOT SCARED
i’m not scared
I mean, if Spam guy wants his Spam, that's his prerogative. But if OP was stocking Spam already the guy could have just asked for full cases of spam from OP's U-boat or pallet, without disrupting the shelves.
I'm not scared..of the pancake man! Begone PANCAKE!
Anybody else think the soil story just sounded like a bad dad joke?
I would have poured the milk in the bag 💀
People seem to be very interesting during sales for some reason.
Spam man was hosting a Viking party
I thought Spam Guy was going to steal a bunch of stuff or whip his dick out or something with the preemptive apology, but instead the apology was for the uncounted, restless hours NimbleWing would experience trying to figure out why anyone would need that much spam
guilt of clearing the aisle+weight appearance shame+letting himself go to spam addiction and obesity a common phenomenon in Walmarts
IM NOT SCARED! 😓😱😩😨
