These people are a constant annoyance that strains the sanity of clerks around the country on a daily basis. <br /><br />If you've never worked retail, you can't know the joy of a customer trying to return a competitor's store brand product, and screaming that they BOUGHT THEM HERE! Or of spoiled, half-drank gallons of milk being returned two weeks out of date, with bogus claims of I BOUGHT THIS YESTERDAY!. Or of being threatened with bodily harm over a rise in the price of gas, food, or other sundries like we have control over that. Or the knuckleheads who have to hold up your line for a half hour with four different orders because they're making a store run for half the town and can't be bothered to sort out who gets what change by using a receipt and calculator. Or the people on public assistance with expensive clothes, gold jewelry, and a car worth 20 times what you drove to work who get more in foodstamps per month than you make in three. Or having to deal with 5 customers, messes everywhere, a food service counter, ten gas pumps all blaring their alarms, and a lottery machine all at once by yourself, and any slight mistake gets you screamed at by a boss that sits in his office while all this is going on and risks your job.<br /><br />The only reasons why retail workers haven't gone on a rampage yet is becuase they're too poor to afford all of the guns, tar, and feathers that such an event would require, and because we're too burned out from work to do the social networking required to organize it.HSAStudentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-89580450642939666582011-07-19T14:34:55.644-04:002011-07-19T14:34:55.644-04:00almost as good as the customer who complained abou...almost as good as the customer who complained about her organic (!) peaches rotting the other day..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-69995245655578937862011-07-19T13:25:22.736-04:002011-07-19T13:25:22.736-04:00I assume this was Walmart.I assume this was Walmart.EDNurseasaurashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039072154469818990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-54615907070392103282011-07-19T13:16:13.611-04:002011-07-19T13:16:13.611-04:00As long as they believe she actually bought the se...As long as they believe she actually bought the set of pots and pans, I think she's right.

She had a receipt with her, but no pots and pans. "They are in the the trunk of my car. Do you REALLY expect me to drag them all the way in here, or are you just going to give me the cash difference between what I paid and the new sale price?" They gave her the cash.

I think she is special stupid. If returning something, you bring it back into to the store! Geez!<br /><br />I had a weird exchange experience yesterday. I went into a clothing store to exchange some flip flops my kid got as a gift. The clerk tells me I cannot exchange them. I have never heard of a policy like this so inquire why they cannot exchange flip flops. She tells me they don't have them. There is a rack with a myriad of flip flops behind me 7-8 feet away so I turn and look at it. She then states "well, we have flip flops but not this design". I tell her I don't care, I just need a bigger size of whatever I can find. To which she replies, "Oh, then yeah, you can exchange these!" Aaaaaggggghhhhh!!!! They are everywhere!PA Honeybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788465617178812326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-8637523805806931292011-07-19T10:13:02.708-04:002011-07-19T10:13:02.708-04:00In Spanish it means "table".In Spanish it means "table".Grumpy, M.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09858110332436246760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-19033067224716582672011-07-19T10:10:38.417-04:002011-07-19T10:10:38.417-04:00mesa in Lithuanian is meat.
