Ask The Experts About Retail Coupons To Print

Mary asks…

Retail Employees… Do you like working in retail … what do you dislike about rude customers ?

Seriously, I am getting so close to just not giving a damn if i loose my job for punching a customer. Why do some customers have to be so damn rude ??? My husband is in the military as an enlisted and so close to becoming an officer but why do many wives wear their husband’s rank. Like only because your husband is an officer does not make you one… I really don’t have to check for a military ID and then they just ask ” do i have to show my ID ” ? And then i say it is not necessary anymore …. but still pull out their freaking ID shoving it on my face like saying look..look.. look at me my husband is an officer i get special treatment !!!

I also hated when they buy an item that is worth less than what they got on and still request to triple bag it just to make sure it does not brake, like we are responsible if it does not make it out of the store
IT IS NOT OUR FAULT IF YOUR ASS IS SO CLUMSY… in that case just purchase it online and it will be delivered to your house safely.

I hate when they are not pleased because we cannot accept printed coupons or we don’t carry the cigarettes they want … we only carry the Soft pack

First of all i really don’t care if you threatened me to shop elsewhere that would make my day because i still get my paycheck and i will never have to see your ass in the store again… do me that favor !!!

I hated when customers pay with cash and throw it on the counter not even close to your hand … it’s like saying come and get this money this is what you work for… also please it is almost 2009 why do you still pay with a freaking check ???

And Why is it when they get upset they say ” If it wasn’t for us shopping here you would not have a job “….

excuse me … I am not dying to have this job and this job is not the only job i can get …

I just wish that they can put themselves in our situation and see that dealing with customers on a daily basis is harder than cleaning shit…i would much rather do that then deal with customers all day…This is abuse that we have to endure everyday because they can curse you out, call you out of your name, and you are not even allowed to say ANYTHING back !!! That is considered verbal abuse… what do you think… i would like to know some of your experiences.

I like helping customers… i even go the extra mile to help them out… when i’m on brake people ask me about products or show them where to find them and on my brake i still do it. I also have deployed to kuwait with AAFES because I like helping our soldiers… i just dislike the lack of respect they have towards associates we also work very hard…i spent more than 12 hours working sometimes we only had one meal it was so freaking hot in kuwait and to come home to this ????
This is a question for people that can relate and if you can’t … then this is not a question you should answer !!!

First off, yes, it is very rude. Yes people should not have to put up with arrogant people just because of titles.But it is not just in the retail world that this injustice happens. I have been a nurse for over twenty years and you should see some of the abuse I and some of my coworkers have had to take from patients and their families. Some we know are in pain . Others are well…….Usually they think a nurse or CNA is a house maid to be at their beck and call . I sometimes may have as many as 32 pts. When working at a nursing home passing meds. Doing treatments,charting,emergencies,dealing with doctors,families,and any calamities that may arise. Plus admissions and discharges etc. People can be horribly rude.Yes ma’am I do understand so well with you. I just have to smile do my job . Sometimes you just have to grit your teeth and smile pleasantly at them. It’s taken me along time to learn how to do this.But just consider the source of where it is coming from. Maybe that’s all she has is her husband’s rank. Maybe she has nothing else! Maybe she is really shallow , or lonely, or bad marriage or who knows what. Just don’t let them get to you so bad.
