To that one guest

[3LetterDevil]

To that one guest: No, we DON'T have the medicine your doctor prescribed for you in. We SPECIFICALLY said on the message that we didn't have it and needed you to call us BEFORE we ordered it because MOST of our guests aren't willing to pay $160.

To that other guest: I seriously hate you. You TOLD us to order the medicine (which was going to cost you over $400) so we did. We told you it had to be picked up within 48 hours and you assured us that wouldn't be a problem. Of course, you waited until that time had passed to tell us you changed your mind so now we're stuck with it. :dash2:

Too bad you can't make 'em pay a deposit on hi-priced meds.

I WISH!!! It's bad enough that BP says if we give them a "partial fill", we're not supposed to charge them until they pick up the balance....I can't count how many times we've been "stuck" with the "balance" of stuff because people don't bother to come pick it up and pay for it. If it's something they HAVE to have (i.e. blood pressure med, cholesterol med, etc.), they almost always do, but if it's something else like cough syrup, anti-viral/fungal/biotic cream/ointment, if what they get takes care of the problem, I'd say about 1/2 of them never come pick up the balance and pay for it all (especially when it's something expensive)....Sometimes, if it's an expensive med, we DO go against BP and make them pay up front for all of it....shhhhh!!!

I saw the terror family today. Classic situation of an oblivious mother and kids who are running at least 10-15 feet ahead of her, grabbing crap and screaming. She actually told me once that she can't control them. As a father, I came real close to saying, "sure you can control them. take away their soda and beat the hell out of them when they act this way!"

To the guest who thinks shes going to Cancer, yes Cancer from the hand scanner. "Scan it away from me, its cancerous." Also to the same guest who wants a "Fresh" bag. Wtf is a fresh bag? Let me make one for you real quick. Hand tossed just for you. And to the same guest who calls a Taxi at 6 PM everyday, grabs a Chair from FA and places it right at the front doors and waits for her Cab, in everyones way. You suck!!!!!

To the guest yesterday who shielded the card reader with her hand and the sleeve for her ATM card: do you honestly think I'm watching you put your PIN in? The odds of me remembering YOUR PIN out of the umpteen I see on a daily basis would do me no good without your ATM card (not that I was even paying attention anyway). And when you did it again for the RxRewards? I already HAVE that information....it's in the computer you nitwit!!!

I always made a point out of looking away when guests put in their pins. But a lot of them still shielded the thing. And like you I always wanted to say that I'm lucky to be able to remember my own, do you honestly think I can remember yours and the hundreds of others I see. And, actually, without the card the pin's useless anyway.

I do too. I was actually changing the bags when she was putting it in so I wasn't even in a position where I COULD see it if I wanted to....I feel like saying "Look, if you're THAT paranoid, run it as a damn credit!"

 

[wageslave1138]

I look away too, but usually I have to end up reading the instructions to the customers anyway...

 

[canibedreamin]

To that crazy lady who came in with her kid to complain about porn popping up on her computer when she searched for little boys underwear.. asking if Target is in 'that business' and threatening to take her business elsewhere.. demanding my STL to find out who was responsible (an angry worker?) and then report it back to her... LADY YOU ARE ****ING NUTS. Take your weirdo ass somewhere else... oh and download better ant-virus software. Target isn't your problem.

 

[dutifulTM]

I apologize for the fact that it got busy and I didn't notice right away that it was getting backed up - but as soon as I did, I called for additional cashiers.

You, however, could of done without your overly passive-aggressive BS that made you seem even more of an a**.

How you can act the way you did and say the things you said with such a condescending smile disgusts me. I hope I never have to help you again, but the good thing is that even if you came through my line, chances are I won't even recognize you. In the end, that's how little you mean to me.

 

[babytrees]

to all of my regulars....bless you for making my day. You all make me happy. I do have regulars that bug the heck out of me but they don't realize I am there...so I give them my "regular" work attitude...the other regulars I engage in small talk with. For ex.: "are you all here all the time or just when I am here?" I went on to tell them I was flattered they learned my schedule to shop when I was around.

to that one customer at my other job (just so you know the nut jobs aren't just at Target) I gladly gave up just over 3 hours of pay just so I don't have to hear, see or talk to your idiocy anymore.

To that one guest who made it painfully obvious that she was trying to humiliate her daughter for being overweight, acne problems, and apathy at shopping for clothes: ****ing **** you. I've never seen a mother be that spiteful and disgusting toward her daughter, forcing her to come out into the main area of the store outside the fitting room (when she could've went in) to supposedly see the shirt your daughter said wouldn't fit and then mockingly saying (loud enough for all to hear), "You're right, it doesn't fit, I told you it wouldn't fit. I can't believe you can't even fit into an large anymore." I felt so bad for your daughter. All she did was silently take it with a glossed over look in her eyes which makes me believe you do this to her all the time and she's just gotten used to it. I was so infuriated it took all of my will power to not tell you the hell off.

This one experience alone ruined my whole day.

 

[redeye58]

We had a cashier like that, always the kicked-puppy look whenever she was in with her mom.
When she said she wasn't doing anything for her birthday several of us girls got together, took her to lunch & gave her a tote of goodies we all pitched in for.
For that day, she sparkled.

People like that don't deserve to be parents.

To those guests who come in with their thick Southern accents and ask me for a "me'jum" sized "Co-cola" and some "chick-in fangers" just stop. Being in Alabama, I have to deal with people that say this every single day. I also get complaints that I, in my infinite Food Avenue wisdom and power, have not persuaded Target to stock sweet tea (pronounced soowait tae, by the rednecks).

To these guests, PLEASE, Please go learn how to pronounce words before you go out in public ever again.

 

[babytrees]

I do believe I was called a naughty word in a third language last shift...so thank you guests for that language lesson...and remember I am just doing my job.

 

[mxrbook]

Just so you know, it's you who is the odd one out. You do know the difference between a Yankee and a damned Yankee, don't you?

Yes. I am a born and raised Alabamian, it's just a HUGE pet peeve of mine. I've got a bad Southern drawl but it irritates me to no end when people don't pronounce words correctly.

I break 2 major grammar rules when speaking: "ain't" and "y'all", but I try to use "y'all" sparingly (ex. is where it's too awkward for me to refer to a group of people as 'you all' or 'you guys', etc.; I over analyze it in my head).

I just get bothered because it furthers the stereotype that people from the South are a bunch of uneducated hicks. It's hard to break the stereotype when over half the people here talk like that.

My list of irritating words are:
- me'jum (medium)
- 'Co-cola' or 'Coke' (to mean any kind of soda)
- geetar (guitar)
- fanger (finger)

My mom is a big offender of the last 2 on my list.

There are a lot more, but those are just my big pet peeve words.

 

[sigma7]

It's just regional dialect for the coke = any soda thing. I'm a big offender with y'all. It's slang I guess, but who actually says "you all?" I guess I could say that, but it's so pretentious lol. We have a lot of double modals around here (might could, used to could might've used to could, etc). I'm guilty of it at times, buts no one thinks anything of it. I'm from a major city in the south/southwest. The accents get worse as you get away from the metropolitan areas, but almost everyone I know slips into a southern/hick accent at times. I make fun of myself for it lol.

 

[commiecorvus]

My aunt and uncle live in the deep south and whenever my aunt is about to start cutting someone up she always starts with "G-d bless 'em, but ya know ..."
Like some how that is going to mitigate every mean thing she is going to say after that.

"Bless your heart" works also.

And now to the Dad that made his kid come and pay for stolen merchandise, along with an explanation and an apology.

Parents in a retail setting (yes you, trying to talk to me with the child screaming bloody murder and throwing a tantrum) usually make me want to pull my hair out, but there are some really cool ones too!
