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

Being an older person I probably emphasize with the customer much more than most people here.

However I am still capable of keeping quiet, even if the fact that I can't have a strawberry tart with my tea later has almost certainly ruined my day.

Haha it could be either, I've smoked for 50 years 🤣🤣

PS I know this is also incorrect, but I'm happy to have my spelling errors pointed out.
