I hate customers!

I know that everyone who reads this is a customer sometimes, even I am but I hate them! They can be so rude that they don't deserve good service. I was a to work yesterday and I was going a little job (which I would explain but it's too complicated and would be really boring) on the lingerie department and a man came up to me about to ask me a question:

Me: before you ask me anything I'm not part of this department, I'm from stock admin

Rude man: Oh well you'll probably still be able to help, I was wondering if you sell 'James vert'?

Me: ummm, sorry I don't know, I'll ask some one else

Rude man: well if you're from stock admin then you should know the bloody stock!

I know what you're thinking... that the man was right and I should know the stock, but he wasn't right...

  • First of all I only work on Saturdays usually so it would be extremely hard for me to be familiar with the stock of the whole shop.
  • Secondly, in my job you only become familiar with a couple of departments, so if he had asked whether we sold a Gossard Superboost bra then I would know! Arrrgggh, it makes me angry just thinking about him! He said it in a way that made me feel so stupid and small, gggrrrrrr!

Basically it was a bad work day all round. Later on, I started another little job and half way through was told that I wasn't doing something which I should of been doing. This was the second thing of the day which made me feel stupid- how was I meant to know if nobody had taught me!!!

The evening of yesterday was better than the afternoon, I went to see 'Fantastic 4'. I thought it was really good although I was a bit disappointed in the fighting, or rather lack of it. Lots of good jokes though which made up for that. I always find that when I go to see a film, if I'm expecting it to be rubbish it's usually really good because I didn't big it up before I saw it.

    Yeah that guy was out of order.

    You could've guided him to someone who may have known the answer to his question tho', Gem ;)

    When I worked in Sainsbury's, I had a customer come up to me and say..

    Customer: "Excuse me,"
    Tristan: "Yes?" (politely)
    C: "Could you tell me where the Safeways Savers Orange Juice is please?"
    T: "Uhm...Safeways?"

    Luckily, the customer just laughed and I then showed her where the OJ was.
