To that one guest

[redeye58]

Even more fun is what people leave in the carts outside, like they're a trashcan on wheels: boxes from the car/booster seat they just purchased, half-eaten FA fare, trash cleaned out of their car, dirty diapers, bev cups, etc.

 

[lovecats]

My best story on that was I was zoning in plastics and someone had left a McDs cheeseburger, uneaten and still wrapped in the paper and very cold. I jokingly told another team member that I appreciated the guest thinking of me but would have appreciated it if it had still been warm.

a year or two ago we were walking the racetrack and one of the TL's noticed our senior had something stuck to his foot. So we stopped and he reached down to get it off and started retching. It was a feminine hygiene product that was definitely not sanitary. He had an interesting nickname for awhile after that.

Yeah, and that stuff becomes even more fun when it starts to rain...I'm sure it not much more sanitary dry, but it sure does gross me out a lot more to pick up a soaking wet, mushy, half-eaten pretzel.

Hold the phone. Last minute entry:
How 'bout working service desk when SL brings up clothes to be defected out, among the items is a swimsuit someone tried on during the "wrong time of the month"?
Sanitizer, thou art my vanguard & savior.

I can't believe this actually happens T_T

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

It does happen. We need the gross thread again.0

 

[Lady Fitting Room]

Ah, but have you ever cleaned up fecal material in the Men's bathroom...on the CEILING? I'm not even sure how it got there, and quite frankly, I'm not sure I want to know.

 

[redeye58]

Projectile pooping? Yeah, that's new...

 

[frontendwizard]

Projectile pooping? Yeah, that's new...

That happens at our store atleast once a month. The weird thing is for all the talking females do about the male restrooms being dirty theres alot more projectile poop going on in the female restroom than the mens.

Agreed: nine times out of ten, the women's restroom is waaaay worse than the men's, as is the women's fitting room.

 

[redeye58]

Yep, makes me embarrassed for my gender.

To that one guest.....

Please don't *TRY* and be in the way of the cart pusher. One of these days you will step in front of a newbie and get run over.

 

[ZoningMaster]

To that one guest shopping 5 minutes before we're closing. Thanks for being a jerk and having me answer a million and one questions about a camera. Then changing your mind and deciding to get your niece a couple video games. And then asking me which one is better. >_>

And then going into softlines with a list of clothes you wanted. What's even worse is you went up to the ETL-SL and said something about how great it is to shop at night. Yea neither of us didnt think so.

At my store, those late night shoppers ALWAYS have an overflowing cart of groceries. And more often than not, they have a huge stack of coupons that don't work.

AND they want help out to their car, where they then take FOREVER to unload all of their cr*p.

* I just ring and bag you up. Please don't stand there afterwards staring at me like an idiot for minutes before finally asking me why I haven't put your bags into the cart. Look around you, all other guests are putting their own bags away. This isn't a supermarket, go away. X(

* STOP REACHING OVER AND TEARING BAGS OFF.
Cripes people, that crap is just annoying AND rude.
Especially when it's a bag for your friggin' huge item with a handle.
Puh-leeze.
And then you wonder why plastic bags are being banned some places and why unless you use reusables you're being charged 10c per paper one. -eyeroll-
It's EXTREMELY irritating when random guests who you didn't even ring up come over and do it. -hiss-

* Some people just make me wish we could have a sign that says, "Please understand that while you dig for exact change or for your gift cards that you just KNOW you have (or for credit cards for that matter) or to help your son/daughter count out their money because they just HAVE to pay for it themselves, the cashier is being timed on checkout speed. "

* Mentioned it once and before - I just ring things up. I have nothing to do with pricing. I am under assumption that all sales are correctly registering.
So please don't get upset at ME when something's ringing up wrong and, if it's more than a few dollars, I have to double-check with supervisors and whatnot. (Though if you're a pissy guest in general, forgive me if I check on every single item you say is on sale )
And especially don't wait until after you've been rung up and handed your receipt to complain about a 'wrong price'.

* I lost track and accidentally rang up an item twice.
Usually I catch it right away, but that time I didn't.
But when I heard your daughter all pissily telling you about how I rang it up again after I already had once, I fixed it right away.
Human error.
So please cut the bullcrap where you patronise me and give me a hard time for a fricking mistake.
I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose to try and make more money for target or the other BS you were spewing.
So please get off your high horse and stop giving me a hard time.
Oh, wait, I forgot. You've neverrrr made a mistake before in your life.

* TO THE GUY WHO RAN OFF WITH 800$ WORTH OF STUFF OUT THE EMERGENCY EXIT:
You, sir, are an idiot.
You've hit many stores before us pulling that same crap?
I hope the tenth store you go for ends up being the one that lands you in jail.

At my store, those late night shoppers ALWAYS have an overflowing cart of groceries. And more often than not, they have a huge stack of coupons that don't work.

Or their coupons work but they give you a hard time because of the one mfg/one target policy - look, sorry your one coupon counts for all three since it SAYS, "buy three and get 1$ off!" (or something like that). No, I don't care if you're no longer going to get any of them because I can;t accept your last 50c or whatever off coupon.

For someone who acts so coupon savvy, maybe you should of brushed up on target's coupon policies. :')

And your wanting to use other store coupons and ad substituions? gtfo. Especially when you seem to think we MUST honour their deals like, "buy X cereals, get a milk free!"

Uh, no.

 

[lovecats]

I had a guest once make the comment that "if we're trying to be a grocery store we should have baggers". Heck, the grocery stores around here don't even have baggers half the time. Then there was the man with 1 small bag who made the comment, "Aren't you going to put this in the cart?". It wasn't even heavy!

I hate the people as I'm bagging will reach over and grab the bags off before I'm even finished. I will take the bags off and put them on the end when I'm finished filling them. Keep your hands off!

If that person who made the bagger comment came thru my line, I would be hardpressed not to be all, "Oh, you wish we had baggers? Well, then, let me stop bagging your items for you. " (Because really, person. To me, bagger = someone bagging your items. You must be blind if you can't see me bagging your crap. -_-)

Lol @ guy. Guess it would of broken his arms to pick up that teeny tiny bag all by his lonesome.

I mostly get guys who get hit by their wife/gf to pick up the heavy item (dog food, cat litter, packs of water...) that they just had to put on the belt even though I told them there was no need after I've rung it up. XD

 

[redeye58]

I'll walk around to put the stuff in the cart because a) it gets them out of my line that much sooner & b) no paid-n-left. If you didn't get it, you left it in the cart. Not my problem.

Wow I am surprised he has hit that many stores and I haven't seen it on the news. Although I don't watch too much TV so I may have missed it. I usually catch up on the news in the breakroom since there is nothing on early in the day when we work the market truck.

And to stay on topic:

*** To the guest at our store a couple days ago that was tried to return resealed games and then tried to trick me into giving you different games because I didn't know what was going on. Unluckily for you I followed protocol and went to bring the keys to the electonics TM(who was on the phone with guest services about the issue) so I could escort the games up to the front and the TM realized what you were doing and took the games from me. I hope you had a good time being escorted out by the police because you refused to leave without the games. You really set a good example for your son who was with you at the time.

Seriously! I get these idiots all the time in Food Ave: people who have to dig for their d*mn pennies because heaven forbid they just give me another dollar so that I can just process the transaction and give them change. If you want to use change, fine, but at least have it ready; if it takes you more than five seconds to find it, bite the bullet and just give me bills or use your card! I may not be timed on my transactions in Food Ave, but nine times out of ten there is a line forming behind the penny pincher and I have a mound of tasks that I need to get done because my opener slacked off and management is too stupid to properly train more people.
