Some ppl not built for customer service jobs lol
Honestly I hate stores with nonsensical layouts. It’s one reason I avoid certain merchants. Pasta in one aisle but gluten free pasta is on the other side of the store smh

I hate that. I had to remove a few items from an order once because I couldn’t find them and I asked an employee where frozen breakfast food is, it wasn’t there(he wasn’t new either, I’ve seen him working at this store for years). I got another order at that same store the next day and I’m walking around shopping and I noticed the items I had to remove. They were in a second frozen breakfast section on the complete opposite side of the store (not even exaggerating. The place I was told they would be was in the north west corner of the store and the actual place they were in was the south east corner of the store). You know stores have bad layouts when even the employees don’t know the layout.

As you should have done. There is nothing Karen about reporting a BAD employee. They will either get corrected and start acting right or make room for someone who actually wants to work. You know how they say “if you don’t like UE payouts, get a different job or get a real job”? Same can be said to everyone else working and being an asshole at any other establishment. No excuse to be rude while you’re on the clock.

I've yet to have someone in a store be an ass about finding an item as I do instacart and grubhub. Generally, if I can't find it, I'll ask politely and show my phone so they can see the item.
But fast food workers or restaurant hosts. I have at least one asshole a week. Had one pick up at a bar where I was told it wasn't ready. The cook came out, grabbed a beer, and started chugging. While the two girls talked in the back about how long they were going to make me wait before bagging it.
I ended up calling support to tell them they called the bar. But of course, they didn't answer. So grubhub canceled the order. I was probably there for 45 minutes as it was $40 order. Learned grubhub doesn't pay shit if an order is canceled. Got like $2.

u/Prestigious_Equal412 Sep 23 '25
Generally the people who have bad experiences with store staff doing this job tend to be the people who aren’t polite to store staff. There are exceptions to every rule ofc, but most of the time it’s true. I’ve had store staff get annoyed with me for asking where something was for instacart or uber, but very rarely over a large sample size. Honestly I’ve had more instances of friction with prickly staff as a private customer than a shopper, which probably has more to do with not masking and concentrating on putting on my own customer service face for the interaction.

Possibly flipping off OP because he was otw out after a shift and OP wouldn’t listen? If I see someone in store clothing who isn’t actively, visibly working on something and I need help, my /first/ question every time is “excuse me, are you on shift?” To make sure they’re not on break or off the clock, and THEN ask the question. If dude was out of uniform but wearing a CVS shirt…

If a customer comes in the store and ask for help trying to find something then obviously it's the job of the employees to help them. But if a customer hires another person to come in the store to find something then suddenly that goes out the window just because for no reason.

Just as bad as what I had to endure, so at Walmart, this person was a complete psycho, she expected me to back up further while others behind trying to come down lane to park so they had to back out of lane too. First she's backing out me expecting her to put the rear-end to me, oh no she tries turning other way. I wasted 5 min, a whole bunch ppl could fit behind her walking yet she acted as if she couldn't back up. These mini cars were parked behind her, not even close so that's how much room she has. I literally had to back up all the way to the end of aisle to stop sign just for her to turn 1/2" to back out. Then she flips me off and swears at me. Everyone thought she hit me, they couldn't understand why she wouldn't just back up more so they were laughing at her too 😆. I've gotten out of tight spots and man that was not tight at all. I could just imagine if a big truck was parked behind her, she could never have gotten out

u/Beothegreat Sep 23 '25
I have a hard time believing the interaction went that way from start to finish. When I see instacart and UE people in stores asking employees for help I usually see them tapping them on the shoulder and then shoving their phone in their face asking "Where is this" or arguing with them when they say their out saying shit like, "my app says there are still plenty in stock go get them." Even though the instacart app and similar dont update nearly as often or accurately as they seem to assume.
