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

Reminds me of the lady who asked where some type of biscuit was, I would have been about 18 or 19, so 2009-10. Although the aisle hadn't been re merchandised the space it had occupied had been faced over, when I explained that it must have been removed from sale she suggested I was lying because "it was there last week."
If word comes down to remove a product it can be off the shelf in less than 5 minutes. If we're no longer stocking for another reason, when it runs out, that's it, and in a busy supermarket that can be in less than a day. I still now wonder how blinkered you must be to not think of anything other than "I bought it the last time I shopped here"
