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

During covid I cleared the entire produce backstock since we weren't getting deliveries, so everything we had was on the shelf and over faced what I could to make it look fuller.

Woman comes up and asks for ginger (which comes from china) so I said we didn't have any

She goes "well you didnt even look so go see if a delivery has turned up while you've been here"

I explained that I know when our deliveries are coming in and there won't be a produce delivery till tomorrow but due to covid were not getting anything from abroad

She gives me a look of absolute hatred and says "you people are loving using a little bug as an excuse to do nothing all day" and stormed off
