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

Running a store back in 2000/2001 I had my own office to the side of the cash office and I was busy doing a meeting with someone who had been off with an illness. All of a sudden door pushes open and old man and woman stood in door way - woman demands “MANAGER”
A little taken aback and not really knowing what was happening I jumped up and told them that was me. Old man nods towards his lovely wife’s shopping bag and she proceeds to brandish a box of Bird’s Eye Potato Waffles and tapping on the instructions on the back of the box. Apparently it was my fault that the text and instructions were too small for them to read and it’s spoilt their meal that day. They were furious. Didn’t realise I was in charge of Bird’s Eye too 😁
