friendly retail reminders
or not so friendly since some of y’all don’t know how to fucking act.
•when a retail worker greets you and asks you for help, you can politely decline. there’s no need for the nasty attitude, that’s literally their job.
•check your coupon dates and what they can be used for. your cashier isn’t responsible if your coupon expired or if you chose not to read what it’s actually going to cover.
•speaking of fucking coupons, yes you have to actually show the cashier your coupon.
•don’t haggle. it’s not a yard sale.
•something discontinued or out of stock? has nothing to do with the people that work there. don’t yell at them.
•if you’re looking for a particular item, take a picture of it or write it down. getting frustrated with an employee because you walked in looking for something but gave the most vague details is unfair. companies repackage things constantly and come out with hundreds of products each year.
•yes retail workers do get paid to pick up after a store. but should you leave your coffee cups and gum wrappers around? no, who fucking raised you?
•please watch your children. it’s your job to watch your child, not a retail worker’s.
•not all stock rooms are full of products. most of the time everything is out on the floor.
•don’t hit on retail workers you fucking creep. especially when you know they can’t voice their discomfort. they don’t want you. them being pleasant is part of their job description
a lot of these are common sense and just behaving like a kind and considerate human being. don’t be a dick
can I add:
Registers aren’t your fucking shopping cart. Don’t put your shit down and walk off to continue shopping. I will make your items go missing, and no you’re not next in line.
I don’t control the sizes of products, price, quantity, or whether they were discontinued or changed. The warehouse/corporate level will never see your complaint or care. Stop yelling at minimum wage employees.
I’m not psychic. If you want your items bagged in a special way, either tell me nicely and BEFORE I start bagging, or do it yourself.
Stop teaching your kids that they all need to have their own separate bags.
Watch. Your. Kids.
When the store wants me to ask for a charity, YOU. CAN. JUST. SAY. NO. Yelling at your cashier or lecturing them about how you disagree with a charity isn’t going to make your cashier stop asking. They have to ask.
Everyone knows damn well that you haven’t been waiting in line as long as you said you have. If you’re running late somewhere or so impatient, don’t stop at the goddamn store, especially on holidays. If you do, expect lines and don’t harass your cashier because they can only go as fast as the customers go and usually it’s the other customers who are slow as hell.
Toughest jobs I ever had were retail.
