The Customer is Not Always Right

Its good to get a chance to vent ^^

My favorite:

"Do you work here?"

No, I'm walking around a store called Petsmart, wearing a nametag and a shirt that says Petsmart just to confuse people.

God I'm so glad I got out of retail.

I have a little thing from work tonight that might be more appropriate for one of the politics threads but it relates here to. I passed by a guy who asked me what section he was in. I told him it was Fiction from there on back to the end of the row. So then he follows it with "Is this where I'll find Obama's plan for America?"

Now keep in mind I didn't know this guy and no conversation political or otherwise had even occured. In other words i didn't ask for his political viewpoint or give him mine. He sure as hell had no idea about how I voted. I don't know if this guy had been saving this up all night or what.

I said "No, that would be in Current Affairs and Bestsellers." (which is technically true because any political books we have are shelved under that subject heading and Audacity of Hope is still on paperback bestsellers.):thumbs:

Good work sending him to the Bestsellers section.:thumbs:

He probably could've found McCain's biography and Palin's qualifications where he was, though.

Touché.

Here's one pet peeve I had when working at Target. When the customer, hell not even a customer because they don't buy anything, comes up to you and wants to chit chat about stuff like you were their long time friend while you are working. When restocking the games, music, and movies there would always be these couple of 14 year olds that tried to talk to me about what game, band, or movie they like while I was restocking. I have a job to do, I honestly don't give a **** about how many Madden games you've played, either buy something or go make friends and stop bugging me. They would always leave whenever their mom called them or whatever.

"Is this where I'll find Obama's plan for America?"

What a prick! Good comeback thought!:thumbs:

I work the circulation desk, and yet people walk over to me almost every time, asking where something is. I am not reference, ask the librarian. Then again, I can see why they would think that, seeing as I dress better than the library, sound smarter since I don't have an accent, and I'm there, which the librarians rarely do.

It pisses me off to no end when I point to the desk and the librarian has magically vanished to go meander around the library. You're doing reference now shithead, you aren't allowed to wander unless you're looking for a book. Get back there and deal with the customer questions, so I can handle the customer books
