The Things Guests Do/Pet Peeves Thread

[Coqui]

To all the TMs who think that Starbucks is open before the rest of the store...news flash we aren't. That TM you see working behind the counter isn't there to just serve coffee and pastries to the rest of the store. They are busy preparing everything before the store opens so stop pestering them because "all you want is a latte and a muffin." BYE!

Always said they should plaster the bathroom stall walls with all the red card perks because, captive audience.

My store did it with the "We're hiring" flyers.

Hmmm I have so many but main one is when u get cart if there is trash in it throw it away just don't t leave it

 

[masterofalltrades]

Right now biggest one is the gstl screaming for backup. Everyone is already on backup.
Second biggest one is the lod bitching on the walkie about missed call buttons, because everyone is on a lane.
Of course we can't interrupt their starbucks break.

This.
I've seen guests pull out a cart, see a scrap of paper or some small wad of something & leave the cart where it is while getting ANOTHER cart.

It's even worse when the LOD shrieks at me over the walkie to get a call button all the way across the store and then when I get there she's standing right fucking next to it

We have a GSA who will hop on a register but won't send overflow to service desk, even if I'm empty.
He'll holler out at me "hey are you busy? Do you want to get someone?"
I'm like, motherfucker, you could have sent someone up instead of me coming out to grab a guest which took longer for the guest.

He's weird. Really weird. Seems stoned all the time.

Most of the cashiers won't send guests to SD. I don't mind running out there but when we're busy af it's kind of counter productive to leave SD when they could send me 1+1.

Oh, and he sends me gigantic carts full of 500 tiny little items and it takes 30 minutes to ring them up because it's an extreme couponer. OMG extreme couponers should NOT be allowed to check out as SD.

</rant>

We always sent people to SD at our store we are training the whole front end at SD

Does anyone else feel annoyed at people who tell you to go to 2 for EVERYTHING? This dude at my store does that all the time, even if what he's again would be perfectly okay on channel 1 and wouldn't clog it up.

 

[Slipknot33]

Ya we have a bunch they use all 4 channels

I dont mind them using it for private conversations but one of our TMs will ask his ETL to go to 3 then tell him hes going on break. Just say you are going to break!

This guy legit told me to switch to 2 just so he could ask me to cover electronics for him. I shit you not. Him constantly asking everyone to go to 2 has become sort of a meme at our store

*when I'm cleaning shelves and base decks* "Wow you should come over and clean MY house!"

When a guest wants an item from the back and you ask "how many" and they say "whatever you have"

 

[NKG]

Putting abandoned items on the shelves in front of me.

And when you bring a cart-load out, they pick out one or two & leave the rest

Yeah, pulling 20 bottles of body wash in 6 locations isn't fun.

Especially endcaps at the price scanners

I posted posted this at 9:30 during my break.

At 11:15, the same guests asked for 24 bottles of shampoo.

They had coupons and cartwheel.

I smell scammers.

TMs on break or lunch that leave their walkie on. And ignore everyone else's increasingly unsubtle hints to the turn the damn thing off.

Subtlety is not my strong suit. I simply ask them to turn them off.

I have gone so far as to grab if off the table and shut it off. You are off the clock, you are off the radio.

There have been times we have had newbies so I left it on through my lunch in case they needed something but that is rare, very rare.

 

[lovecats]

We used to have a sign up on our breakroom door that it was a walkie-free zone. Worked most of the time. I notice when they redid the breakroom that the sign was gone.

 

[TTGOz]

I forgot what it was but I came to complain about something a guy did today but I forgot what he did. lol

 

[StargazerOmega]

Other TMs that are visiting as guests and then tell you how to sell a Redcard to the guest in front of them.... Didn't really annoy me per se, just weird.
