The Customer is Not Always Right

More often than not the customer is NEVER right because the customer is a moron.

Customers are arrogant and snotty. It drives me bonkers.


Customer: How many pieces of chicken are in that Colonel's Dozen?
Me: ...a dozen.
Customer: Oh.

Yeah. THAT stupid.
 
And all this general stupidity? Expect it to multiply in a few weeks for the holdiay rush.

Ugh yeah at times like this it REALLY makes me glad I'm not part of the sales team

BUt it gets irratating repating "Oh, I'm not in this department." Or "Oh I'm not a sales person"

What I hate is, just because I'm in uniform the customer will expect me to know EVERYTHING

I was doing some pricing in the blank CD Isle, when a custmer walks up to me and asks "Are you also in the music section?"

I was also walking back to the warehouse one time, with a cart that was full of games. The back of our warehouse is in the computer department, so a customer stops and asks for help.

I have a cart full of games SURE I'll know a thing or two about computers
 
All of you seems to say that MOST customers are dumb. But have any of you thought that, as customers yourselves, you end up asking dumb questions as well? I mean, not to criticize, but all of you can't tell me you didn't feel dumb asking a moronic question with a simple response.
 
Here's one that didn't happen to me but to one of my co-workers

Customer: "Where is this movie at?"
Him: "Sci-Fi."
Customer: "Where is isle 5?"
Him: "Sci-Fi."
Customer: "Where is isle 5?"

I used to think the customer was always right......then I started working.

Well, to be fair, I've done that before. If you're lost, and there isn't anybody around, the best thing to do is just try someone in a uniform and see if it works. Sometimes the stock people know the store better than the sales guys anyway. :)
 
I work in a library and my customers are idiots.

I think customers are generally filled with an unearned sense of entitlement. They think they can speak however they want and act however they want, regardless of lines or the dozens of signs we put up telling you no, and if you tell them to step back because you're helping another customer register, you run it like the militatry. One old bitch had the audacity to tell me that today. Mind you, she's trying to cut in from the side while the man is filling out the paperwork, and library policy states that I finish him before helping her
 
Awesome website. This reminds me off something that happened at the post office two weeks ago.

We always close at 5:00. We have a sign outside that tells how long we're open. It was about a minute before it was time for us to close. We emptied the registers, shut off the computers, and put some supplies up. And then.....

Customer: *walks in* Can I buy a stamp?

Me:.......Are you fuckin serious? O_o

And the chick didn't even have exact change.
