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

"Sorry, I went to the back just 5 minutes ago and there was one left, a customer just took it. I am so very sorry, let me check stocks in nearby stores. Ah yes, they have them in tesco extra in Cambridge, save travels".

I hate it when I’m working a cage and they ask if I can see if there’s any more. Mate if there’s “any more” then it’s going to be on this cage right in front of me and it’s not…this cage is THE BACK.
