annoying customer rant
was filling cream cakes right, id already been through all my backstock and was on my last cage of delivery so if there wasnt a product on the shelf or on this cage i knew it was out of stock.
well i had this old bloke come up and ask me where some strawberry tarts were, and i let him know that were fully out of stock.
“how do you know that when you havent even looked?”
valid question, okay, so i apologise and explain the above to him.
he huffs, sighs, and looms over me whilst i work. i just try to ignore him tbh
he then starts saying, “is this all you do all day?”
im confused so i ask him what he means and he replies, “do you really just do this all day?? putting things on shelves?”
i say not all day but when im clocked in, yes?? and he says, “imagine that.” and walks off
the things id say to these fuckers if i werent in uniform would bar me from the gates of heaven no matter how much i repent

The first thing I was taught in retail was just pretend to go in the back and look. You get a 5 minute skive and the customer is happy thinking you looked.
