Working in retail you do really get to know how thick (and lazy) the general public really are.

There was a guy from Warwick university (meant to be clever) who wanted to buy some ink cartridges from us ages ago, went round the display picking random cartridges up, got to the till and we asked which printer it was that he had (as we usually did to make sure people had the right refills), to which he replies:

"Does not matter, they are all same, all fit my printer."

Err. No.

@ Ash

Plus why do they all have the attitude that you dont know anything and they are right Do they not understand that you do this for a living and are here everyday???


Some russian lady tried having a go at me cos she was declined for a contract, she was like well what option do i have? I said PAUG.

She was like well thats not very good is it? I wanted to say no, but neithers your credit.

Instead i just put my best "sorry" face on

People don't understand anything. The problem is, it's socially acceptable to be stupid, or dappy, as it's commonly called these days.

That seems to be a perfectly sensible question to ask if your talking about flooring or something

I think a good one at my work...

Parent: My child has had 3 ski lessons now, why can't they ski yet? I am paying for this lesson you know...

Me (Given reply): Well, some children are slower at learning than others, just give it some time.

Though this is the actual answer:

Your child is a fat shit, if they didn't eat chocolate all day and watch TV then perhaps they might gain some athletic ability and be able to get off thier ass and do something. And as for the paying for it, damn right you are, I don't work for free.

I'm going to come to your shop, with my trousers round my ankles. Waddle into the door and go

"Hi, I'm here to complain that when I bought this phone, my trousers fell down - I would like to see your manager!"

Then when they try to pull my trousers back up I'm going to shout 'Sexual harrassment!' and sue orange.
