I have been the person who asked an employee for something right in front of my face! I was cool about it, and we both had a laugh. :-/

One down!

Lets be honest... I work in customer service in one of the largest retailers in the world, and its RARE and i mean RARE the managers side with us employees, they almost always let the customer get their damned way, which is why they pull the same s**t over and over, because they can. On the rare occasions the managers DO side with employees... its almost frame worthy!

It gets on my nerves when people is everyday complaining about their laboral rights, but they go to the stores or restaurants 5 minutes before closing.

This probably gets him "employee of the month" for inventive spirit.

believe it or not, "the back" is not an infinite space of all the products we neglect to put in the front.

I used to love this! Gets you out of work for half an hour, and you get to act like a big shot who knows everything.

Corporate solution: "Send employees to other stores, demolish current store, build new one, move employees back. Same employees, same customers, same work, same, benefits, same pay, same same. But, shiny new building." President and VPs: "Oooo, ahhh..."

I had a job where I was salaried if the boss needed me to stay late, and hourly if I needed to leave early.

Ever since I worked at a place that was "open until the last customer leaves," I never go places near closing time anymore.

I got shouted at once, for a label sticking out in a display window. I was not even responsible for a display window. Apparently, we have to be Gods and see everything.

The customer is always... something...

OMG, I love this one, can't stop laughing! Reminds me of my old job. :))

Every single day on my way to work, I was hoping for a major catastrophe in the metro. I quit... that was the solution. Happy now!

I feel like turning this into a motivational poster.

Probably won't make it till Thursday.

My dad tells the story of a man who came in to buy a vacuum cleaner. He asked a manager if he could open the box and look at it to see if it was what he needed. When he was done and they closed the box up, the man asked to buy another one because "that one was opened".

Waiting for Prince Charming is probably not a good option either.

Pretty much how mine went... 1 measly % raise... I'm a freelancer now, working full time in pjs, no stupid fake personality boss and making more money...

i think this is caps abuse....

Now I know why the chicken crossed the road.

I don't understand why co-workers have to make small talk about your food.

LMFAO!

Cher blinks for ten minutes.. I almost need to Google that.

And...thank you for your concern

I couldn't get a job as a receptionist for my local paper because my degree is in business, despite the fact that I minored in English, had eight years' experience freelancing, and had already written and published one book. No journalism degree, no job. As a RECEPTIONIST.

If I see a stressed out CSR or wait person, I make sure I am sincere when I say "so, how's it goin?" I really want to give them a break for a minute. They usually take a big breath and tell me about it. I don't ever want to be someone's last straw.

I have seen this more times than I care to admit. Also people returning 7 year old vacuums, couches, outdoor furniture, and i guarantee you once winter is over, snow blowers will be returned in droves

It's been 12 years and I still remember that bananas are 4011.

Yay, I get to work from home on Friday. Agenda: roll out of bed at 08:50, stay in my pjs, try to connect my VPN at 9am, check emails and reply to some first thing, p**s about on the Internet or my phone or watch tv if nothing much is happening or I have no meetings, switch off and commute to the sofa.

or when it doesn't scan at all, and there's always that one person who says "it must be free" and after hearing it literally a million times, you cannot even force a smile anymore.

I've just tried to click "like" button...

I've never worked retail (really feel for the people who have) but that's gotta feel like victory.

Correct me if this is different in the US, but: if you are busy with work at clock-out time, you clock out once you are done and have the time registered as over-time. Depending on contract, you will get paid for that, or be able to get off-time at another day.

I feel that!!! One of the most annoying things ever :(

And proceed to make awkward pantry conversation while waiting.

Here, let me go get her for you!

And then you will see another list article, about hugely embarrassing little moments, with one of its entries being: "I was asked whether I wanted my receipt with me or in the bag. I said yes" accompained by a drammatical meme showing somebody ashamed swallowed by the ground. And nobody will notice the two entries are actually about the same moment but from different perspectives... O_o

Went back to work, after lunch, and the gates to the building were shut! Damn shame my car was shut in there too.

actually, this did happen. it charged like 3 or 4 times, because "it wasn't working"

or their card doesn't work, so they say "I'm just going to run to the atm"

"Because we don't have a back?"

Props for using a picture of Dean!

The display of concern is overwhelming!

same, sadly

This is me.

If you listen closely you can hear the weeping of the employees who try to have faith in humanity

Should have directed him across the street to BK.

😂😂😂

A teacher at my school does that. I mean, he might be telling the truth, but i doubt it

Friday is just another day, Christmas is just another day, New Years is just another day.....you get the idea

I have literally interrupted people taking their anger out on employees, with "The f**k's your problem?" And from there I improvise, either asking the person what the employee has done to them personally or following up with another snide remark.

We are mostly called thieves, cheaters when the price is higher. Usually our beloved customers can't read ;)

From now on, I'm introducing myself with #3's move

They make you phrase stuff like that. That’s why they say "today" over and over.

The thing that sucks about going "above and beyond" in CS is that you rarely get more than a 'thanks' for your effort. No raise, no promotion opps. There's no real incentive to do better.

I would never in a million years make it to two days.

SO RELATABLE! Omg
