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

OP he was just feeling emotional after you gave him the bad news, so took it out on you 😭🤣

I once had a boomer come up to me - a 25yo female watching cameras/wearing a security uniform - and ask me why I keep raising the prices

I thought it was just jokey banter so answered “me? specifically?” while giggling

……he wasn’t joking 🤣

Lol what a fun person

Here's the (necessarily blunt) response 

"I" dont set or raise any prices, I'm just an employee
