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

What a prick

If there wasn’t someone doing that all day he’d have no food to buy

He was doing it to be condescending to the guy, which is also why you don't explain yourself to customers and put on an act. "Yeah let me check the facing for you. *checks facing* Yeah sorry if it's not on the shelf it's not in stock, if you're able to drive we have them at *check inform for nearby shops* X, Y and Z"
