To that one guest. I am responsible for doing the restroom check up when I am the GSA. This takes approximately 5 seconds for me to walk in and clear the button. It takes another 5 seconds for me to check off the sheet and go on my merry way. But in that first five seconds, after I checked to make sure the men's room was clear, you managed to follow me in and start using the urinal.

Seriously.

Next time leave it in your trousers until the female employee leaves the restroom.
This is AMERICA, if there is a female in the male restroom I am going to use the urinal whether i have to go or not.

2 RG you are my hero!
3 Still wish you worked at my store!
 
Oh, weekly guest. You still don't have a receipt for that Keurig? And you always pay cash? And you admit that I didn't allow you to exchange the broken Keurig last week or the week before or the week before? Why did you think that I would allow you to get a new coffee maker this week? Some things never change.

Get huffy and walk out...again. See you next Wednesday!

Perhaps you should try to find a different appliance at Good Will or in the trash? Maybe I'll change my mind next week. Or not.
 
A guest stole one of the MyDevices from another Spot in the area.
They returned it when they figured out they couldn't do anything with it. :p

So to that one guest: HAHAHA. I wish I could have seen your walk of shame and the look on your face when you came back, you filthy crook. :D
 
To all the guests who wouldn't take their screaming children outside:

Fuck you. I'd be more understanding if it was clothes or food for what you're buying but toys? Wrapping paper? Magazines? TAKE YOUR KID OUTSIDE. Instead it was 6 solid hours of kids and babies screaming because they heard other kids and babies screaming and ugh. Six hours. Of screaming.

The only one I'll forgive is the kid who literally forgot he was screaming when I showed him the blinky PDA light. Went from full screams to a hiccup and "oooh" and then a good mood and waved goodbye. Ok, kid. You obviously just needed a nap.
 
Unfortunately, I've been the kid in this situation, and it angered even me and I felt bad for the poor cashier who had to wait as well as the other customers in line behind me, and I've seen this done at my local Safeway and Target alike:

When some parent says "Hey (Kid's Name), hold the spot, I need to go get milk and I'll be back" after putting their items on the belt, leaves with the payment method, and the cashier has no choice but to ring up all the items and the parent isn't back yet with the money, so the kid is just standing there awkwardly while the cashier is (I'm sure of this) silently fuming whilst a line forms.
TO THAT GUEST: If you insist on running off, at least give your kid (presuming they're old enough) the cash to pay for what's on the belt!


Edit: You don't up an item, you ring up an item.

"WAIT!

I'm sorry ma'am but I am not legally allowed to watch your children. I can suspend the transaction and you can bring them with you."

I've had people try and leave newborns sitting in the cart while they go get things. Nope. I am not a babysitter. Children freak me out a little and their parents freak me out a lot. I'm not taking an ounce of responsibility for someone's precious, demented, germ-carrying lawsuit waiting to happen.
 
That's definitely what I will use should I get hired. Retail employees aren't paid enough to play babysitter to other people's spawn. I may go as far as calling the GSTL/AP if the guest leaves their kid anyways just to prevent the kid doing something or messing with my nice, organized checklane and the guest saying "WHY THE F**K DIDN'T YOU WATCH MY KID?! I'M CALLING CORPORATE!"

Seriously, NEWBORNS?
Faith in humanity has dropped 12 points, new level is -12.
 
Was passing by the restroom once & a lady wanted me to watch her baby (& cart) because she didn't want to take the baby in the restroom & risk 'losing her stuff'.
Yeh, I may LOOK like someone's granny but I'm anything but....
 
We once had a guest wander off to use the restroom, and was going to leave her child sitting in the seat in her cart. The cashier next to the cart told the guest she needed to take her child with her, because she couldn't watch her. The guest's response? A snippy "I didn't ask you to watch her. She's three, and would be fine on her own." Right.
 
Yet I'm sure if she came back and found her three year old climbed out of the cart and cracked her skull on the floor she'd have been throwing a fit about negligent cashiers.
 
Had one guest yell at me cause her "precious little gem from the spawning pits of whatever hole she crawled out of" was climbing on the carts inside the cart well and running on top of them while she was talking to someone, and I asked the kid quite nicely to please not do that as they could get hurt. oh and im sure that calling over the GSA to complain about me "parenting" her child and how unprofessional it was, was a great idea. then you turn back to me and say that ill never know the joys of parenthood if I keep this up was a great thing to say to me. my response Ma'am I was only trying to make sure your child didn't get hurt, also I hate kids so I don't plan on knowing the joys of parenthood anytime soon. yeah see ya later and don't forget your demon spawn.

There was a kid starting to stand up on the seat of a cart and one of our techs asked her to sit down. The mom (who was 5' away with her back turned, yapping away on her phone) turned around and WENT OFF on her. The tech gave it right back and told her "Sorry, I'm not going to just stand here and watch your daughter crack her head open because she's standing up in the cart!" The mom turned beet red and walked away, still yapping away on her phone....I'm sure if her "little angel" had fallen out of the cart and hurt herself, mom would've been on the phone to her attorney....
 
Best instance of "right back atcha" was when one of my cashiers was telling a child to be careful because she was leaning so far over the edge of the cart she was in danger of falling head-first.
Girl's mother went off on the cashier & the guest behind her went off on the mother, threatening to call Child Protective Services.
Most fun ever.

I love when some guests basically channel the crushed spirits of retail employees and go off on stupid guests.
 
To that one mom: I'm sure you thought you were an uber-multitasker, checking your facebook status while breastfeeding as your other street urchins ran amok around the café but you merely looked like an inattentive parent instead.
Get a life & a clue.
 
TTOG: Why did you want until AFTER you'd swiped your card to ask for a gift receipt? I only wish that our registers couldn't print gift receipts after the fact, just to teach you a lesson.
 
TTOG who keeps giving us crappy scores on the survey, please stop. If you hate us THAT much, why do you keep coming back? At least change the wording on your comments so it's not blatantly obvious it's the same person screwing us week after week. :mad:
 
To that one guest complete whackadoodle: Why would you complain about feeling like you're overheating when it's in the 60s outside and you left the house with a thick hoodie and heavy coat on? Also, it would be much appreciated if you would stop creeping on my co-workers.

To that one considerably less awkward guest: I'm sorry we didn't have what you were looking for, but you were so nice about everything. I wish I could've been more help.
 
TTOG: Why did you use almost ALL of the TP in the family bathroom and not say anything! Thank god there was JUST enough for me.
 
To that one guest...seriously...you were a complete pain in my butt!

I hopped on to back up cashier, and the guest unloaded her cart, and proceeded to watch the bags pile up on the counter. She finally looked at me, and told me the milk could go in the child seat. So I handed her the milk. After staring at it for a few seconds, she finally took it from my hands. I finished ringing up her order, and she looked at her bags on the counter and said, "I need room to write my check." Umm...

So I smiled, and asked, "would you like some assistance putting the bags in your cart?"
Guest: No, I want the bags put in my cart.
Me (gritting my teeth): Would you like some help with that?
Guest: Put the stuff in my cart.

It took everything in me not to put the bag with her three bags of chips on the bottom.
 
TTOG: Really, you had time to take every single one of only one kind of sports team shirt off of the hanger and put it back on the hanger backwards? I know none of those shirts were like that earlier because I was the one who zoned that rack earlier in the day.
 
TTOG: Why did you want until AFTER you'd swiped your card to ask for a gift receipt? I only wish that our registers couldn't print gift receipts after the fact, just to teach you a lesson.

You don't really wish that, that'd mean you had to return everything, ring it back up, and then print the gift receipt.

Why? Because, vibe.
