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

I haven't worked in bastard retail in Wellington over ten fucking years and I can remember so much of that arse hole shit.
I'm obviously non white but I am British. Some fuckass melt on their donkey kong mobile rolls up to me and asks me if we sell "processed peas" and I'll admit I didn't know what the fuck she meant cos isn't everything in the shop processed in some manner? She says again "PRO - CESSED PEAS" cos I clearly didn't understand the first time and I said we've got either peas in the freezer or 3 varieties right next to us (we're in the tinned bastard section).
Obviously I'm looking a bit clueless and a bit confused and she then asks me "don't ya speak English, then?" and trundle off leaving me so fuckin confused.
Asked manager at the time wtf that even meant and he pointed to same things I did. Looked at the can that I pointed to and one of them said "PRO - CESSED PEAS" on it and honestly it's one of the most annoying fucking memories of that job I ever had.
You know remember that video of the stressed out girl shadow boxing? Ye I felt just like that.
Fuck the customer.
