In the last two days i think i have possibly met the most un-intelligent skin sacks to pass for human beings.
I really like my job, but sometimes it tests you with the shit you have to put up with from the general public. I have had just about enough of all these fucking scum bags i really have.
The worst of which is when someone tries to tell you your doing your job wrong as their cousins brothers son's best friend works for orange and told them lies 
It really bugs me that people go into a shop and get upset if we dont stock batteries or that we cant there and then fix their phone. If i bought an oven from curries i wouldnt take it down to the sales bloke and ask him to fix it? Then get in a strop??
Old people are the worst, they really just dont get it, and think we are being horrible if they cant top up their o2 phone in our shop? I can understand its confusing for them, but why the fuck would i do it out of spite??
Its my job to help people and being angry and abusive gets you absoloutely no-where. I will go out of my way to do as little as possible. If you are nice i will go that extra mile.
Pointless rant i know needed to get it off my chest, i have had enough of these disgruntled moronic shells coming in my shop and taking their woe's out on me.
I had some old biddy start shaking with anger cos i told her we didnt sell batteries as they cost the same as a new phone  She then told me she was off to vodafone? Like i had done something wrong in telling her what orange u.k had decided to stock in their shops. 9/10 it isnt even the battery that will be causing the problem, but hey what do i know? I only work here.
Rant over

I feel the same. I get this all the time.
My favourite is when people buy shit off ebay then cant get spares for it. Electric helicopters is the most common. They dont understand that I cant stock every spare for every helicopter ever made especially the ones I have never heard of.

Motor trade is awful for things like this, they expect every conceivable nut and bolt to have on the shelf availability. And i swear to god people are getting more stupid lately, i work for a Honda dealer and i get asked for Suzuki parts because 'well your all japanese arent you?' FFS

I had a woman yesterday who was buying prawn's, think they were only £2.. and she moaning about the prices being really high in the shop and that its cheaper to live in Spain where the fish is fresh.. Then she started moaning about other prices and that she is going to go to Aldi for her shopping in future because i personally couldnt make the prices cheaper Stuck up cow!!!

Some people are just fucking mongs. Should be put down.
I mean if they cant manage to do things like buy a phone without having some kind of psychotic episode, what happens when they want to buy a car or a house
They just explode or sit in the corner crying?

brilliant thread
working in a hotel restaurant that is 99% full of elderly people i get them complaining a fair bit. just last night one woman was complaining that they had recieved their starters mere seconds before the table next to them. she didn't understand that there was 10 of them on her table and only 2 on the table next to them. MORAL OF THE STORY: IF YOU GO TO A RESTAURANT IN A LARGER GROUP, ACCEPT THE FACT THAT IT WILL TAKE ALITTLE LONGER FOR YOUR MEAL TO COME. sorry for the capitals but its the only way i can express my anger through the medium of the internet

In our trade theres a lot of discounting. Normally 10% off RRP. Any way a bloke came in to our shop a few weeks ago and asked for a particular engine. He asked if we could match Als Hobbies price at £89.99. My dad said yes, thats not a problem. The customer went away happy. What he didn't know was we had that engine on a special offer for £79.99.
Unlucky that man

I work in ASDA part time, I start one of my shifts at 7.00am on a monday. The store is 24hours however it closes at 4.30 on a sunday and re-opens at 8.00am on monday. As i walk into work, every week, there are people asking why the store is not open and how it's a disgrace and how we at asda (me) should be ashamed for false advertising, and how theyre now going elsewhere and "won't be coming back here" Did i forget to mention all opening hours are on a great big sign as you drive into the carpark ffs

At least you can hang up, id fucking love to be able to do that
My GF suffers the same ordeal (she works for Laura Ashley) and she takes the abuse?? I used to be a store manager and i wouldnt let a customer talk to my staff like that, they either calm down apologise and act civilised or they are shown the door. Unnaceptable behaviour

Soooo glad I quit my retail job. "Tesco packs bags FOR you" No they don't, they ASK if you need help with your podgy, greasy fingers and a Pandora's Box of a Carrier bag
