holy shit.
Do these people have zero self-awareness? I hate wasting people's time. Always ensure i'm clear and concise when ordering food from anywhere.

>Go into store
>Pick what I want
>Stand in line
>Say hi
>Pay
>Say thank you to cashier

All my transactions occur in 30 seconds, or 2 minutes if i'm buying electronics. Whats the deal with the rest of you?

>>26320317
I don't think you read the thread m8.
The customers aren't posting, the people putting up with their low grade retardism are.

I work in my own gift shop.
I have had people grabbing shit if I don't have my eyes locked on them all the time.
Some people don't like me to watch them, but seriously. Why people is like this? I am working hard to go buy this merch and put it for sale, yet for them is so easy to just steal some stuff.
I haven't had very much angry or annoying clients though, the people here is nice other than the stealing shit and that they ALWAYS want discounts, no matter how low the prices is.

My father is like that. Probably because he himself has never worked a full day in a service job and inherited his business from his dad, so he has always either worked for himself or his dad.

Gotta love when customers try to be armchair managers. "Oh you got kids in the back of the store making a mess, they might be stealing stuff, you better keep an eye on them". They love to say "keep an eye on it".
If we have 1-2 people working and it's in the middle of the afternoon, we have to be stuck at the front at the register, or else the very same person would be whining that we don't have enough registers open. There's no way to win.
And even if I did go "keep an eye on them", there's nothing I can do. You aren't allowed to do anything to thieves. Especially not kids.

"There's no way to win" seems to be a regular theme in this business. No matter what you do, there's a bad consequence. And trying to take care of that consequence leads to other consequences. Solving one problem creates another, and everyone from customers to managers expects you to just have no problems at all.

Do you make alot of money?

>>26321249
Not really.
Kinda the same as a dead end job.
The advanatage is of course, that I can sit down in my pc whole day browsing 4chan, and just have to clean up sometimes, go to main city for merch, attend people when they get inside (those have helped with my hemorroids).
The downsides are obviously no insurance or benefits of any kind and the fact I could be mugged at anytime, including people breaking in the store at night. But that can happen anyways to everybody.

I wagekek'd at a grocery store for a little less than a year. This man came in with his receipt and complained about the BUY 2 GET 1 FREE we had on the bottles of spices.

In his head, buy 2 get 1 free meant that he buys two and then one of those becomes free.

We didn't really argue, we were gonna let him have what he want, but he still made it difficult.
He didn't even want to show his receipt to our manager for the longest time even though manager is the only person authorized to issue refunds.

Just fucking can't get over how a man in his 60s is retarded enough to not comprehend the simplest of signs.

buy 2 and get one more for free
no buy 2 and get one of those 2 for free, essentially making it a buy 1 get 1 free

>>26321728

J.J. is that you?

No really good stories, but I worked a cash register at a Rite Aid for three years in high school. I live in a wealthy area that has a ton of Jews. Never had a problem with them before, until I started working there. Holy shit. They are literally the worst people to serve. There was always a problem, always snarkiness towards me. I was screamed at, cursed at, threatened to have me fired, all of it. Niggers are more civilized than Jews. Never again.

They're so miserable that their only joy is making wagecucks miserable, because they know wagecucks can't talk back without getting fired. I had this one old asshole ask for a specific brand of paper towels, turns out they were sold out. He then asked me, a cashier/floor guy, why I didn't order more. I told him that I was only a cashier and not responsible for orders. He starts screaming "It's your fault!" and just walks the fuck out. I wanted to hit him so bad.

To be fair anon you did a terrible job explaining it.

>>26321892
Can only confirm this.

Old women are the second biggest group of shoplifters (the first being rapefugees) at the store I used to work at.

Once some old hag even lied about me short changing her 15 euros. She gave me 5, but after she got her change she suddenly though she paid me with a 20 euro bill. Went all out with confused speech pattern and look too. After a back and forward she suddenly dropped it when I told her I'd count the register to see for certain.

Saw the miserable sow give me death glares every time I saw her in the store afterwards. Saw her try it on others working the register as well. Not sure if she ever got banned from the store or not.

The taco struggle is real. And then you realize that they can order tons of tacos and still hardly pay anything. The fucking worst

>>26322338
I guess they go crazy after not having hordes of young men after them for a while, and then their kids move away, and their purpose in life is void. I'm in the States and old people are fucking revered here. They get away with everything. I think a ton of them belong in mental hospitals, because they are that fucking insane, and I don't just mean retail stuff. They cause so many car accidents and potential accidents, it's just insane.

>>26320666

>>26322413
Worst thing is they'll just pretend that they're retarded so you'll solve their problems for them.

Yeah I get it if you're not with the times, but how some old people act like little children and get away with it is bizarre.

My housemates grandfather is kind of like this. He suddenly stopped liking any food, rarely talks, never wants to go anywhere, cancels all social appointments. And then complains about being lonely and miserable, and expects his children and grandchildren to fix all of his problems (which are caused by him acting that way). His family is catching on though and is treating him like a little babby because of it, almost no respect for him anymore.

>do you want me to return the drink i just made so youll get it free this time

How do you get "throw it away" out of that?

It was already charged to the card when she asked for it to be free. She would have to return it to get the money back for it to be free.

>>26322483
I don't know where you're from, but mental health care in the States is absolute shit. I don't blame old people entirely, but I refuse to deal with their bullshit. It's such a stigma that families will not have their relatives diagnosed and treated, and most of the time the crazy old people refuse to believe that they could be mentally ill.

So.. you give her the drink, and then she has to hand it back?

I guess you probably mean that you'd have to refund the drink and then use the card for it.

>>26322154
Yep, it's absolutely pathetic, they aren't worth it though. I'm probably gonna get fired for it, but I just look at those people like they're children and ignore them for customers that aren't abusing me.

I don't get it either, why did you need the drink in order to refund her? Isn't it done on the cash register?

>>26322594
what the fuck man...gave me a good laugh though.

>>26321975

Yep, he was telling the woman she had to "return" the fucking drink instead of explaining he had to do a "refund" on her credit card.

His fault.

>>26322641
Good for you for having balls. I only work retail jobs here and there because I'm still in college. There have been so many times I've wanted to scream back at these fucks, but my family needs me to help out occasionally with money, so I'm forced to take it like a bitch. It's so funny, because 99% of these asshole would never dream of acting the way they do to people outside of a store. Retail has caused me to hate most of humanity. So many will pick on the weak when they know there's no consequences...

>>26322637

You have to "return" the drink to the store using the register in order for the money to go back on the card.

You would then take their stamped card in exchange for the drink which is now given free as part of a new transaction.

I guess if you buy everything online and never go to physical stores maybe you're not familiar with the basic terminology or the returns process and this might seem silly to you.

Really though it's all a matter of putting things through the register so that there is a paper trail and the cash is all accounted for in a way management can see.

But op made the drink so there's no barcode on it. What exactly are you "doing" with the drink when you're "returning" it?

>>26322667
It's so autistic and creepy, can't stop laughing over here.

>>26322769

Because of what >>26322774 says.

The way its described is nonsensical / not practical. I've worked retail for 6 years by the way. That's the reason why I'm confused in the first place.

>>26322800

It may have a barcode on the cup, or it may just be a button the register.


Either way what some customers don't want to do is stand there while you set up a return transaction and put their card through the machine so the money can go back on it.

They just want to walk away at that point, but they cannot do that and get their money back so they are unhappy that they have to wait.

Basically grown ass people can sometimes be whiny impatient fucks and get mad a person who is just an intermediary between the store and the customer and must follow the process as they have no real power over anything.

Thanks for bringing back old memories, bros. Thank Christ I don't work retail anymore.

>>26322863

Don't know what to tell you, friend, I worked 10 years of retail. It made sense to me.

Sure it could have been worded better, but anyone that has ever had money refunded to their card would understand what is happening.

>OP posts a story about a retard customer that didn't understand something
>a bunch of retards post defensively about how they don't understand it either

It's like those stupid fucks that just walk up and put money on the counter and walk away. No, that's not how it works. You can't just take that newspaper or drink or whatever. I need to scan the thing and complete a transaction on the register. That's how buying things works you fucking idiot. You have a coupon? Fine. I have to put in in the register. You want your money back? Fine. I have to put it in the register. I've had to literally call the police and have them arrest people because they were too fucking stupid to understand this. If the shit doesn't go through the register, it's theft. You didn't pay, you stole something and left money behind. Fucking idiots.

>>26322998
>I need to scan the thing and complete a transaction on the register.
Shut the fuck up you retard, op said he made her a drink, meaning no barcode, thus there's no point for the customer to give the drink back.

>>26322986
It might help to mention that I don't live in a country that uses credit cards and subsequently things like credit score. Mostly debit cards and cash here, refunds were done exclusively with cash.

>>26322800
Nothing with the drink, but you need to have the credit card again

>>26322998
>You can't just take that newspaper or drink or whatever
B-But I do that every week when I buy the Sunday paper. I just take the paper and drop two bucks on the counter. The cashier just thanks me as I walk out...

You wouldn't call the cops on me just for wanting to read the Sunday funnies?

>>26323083
>but you need to have the credit card again
Yes of course, but OP demanded the drink back, which is pointless.

>>26322561
people try to do this at my store all the time by putting sale stickers on clothes that aren't on sale. Sorry bud it's the system that lets us know if its on sale or not

>>26323064

Well here when things were refunded 90% of the time they were to be refunded in the same way they were paid for, even down to the specific card that was used.

If it was a gift and they had the reciept and all that some places would allow you to give them cash.

But generally as a wageslave you weren't allowed to just refund cash to quickly get people out of line even though that would be much faster.

the drink has a sku that i have to type in the computer so the transaction is as follows

10315

subtotal-6.00
total 6.45

the system now thinks we sold a 10315, so we have x amount of inventory to make that drink less than what we had prior to he rbuying the drink, and we have 6 more dollars in the store.

she realized she had a coupon for a free drink after i had rung her up

i have to return the drink, as in, i have to give the money back to her credit card while she physically has the drink

then i have to type in the code that makes the 10315 (the sku for the drink) free, so our inventory wont think we have x amount of drink ingredients stolen because i dint ring up as a free

but the customer refused to have it charged back on her card and i didnt want to fuck up our inventory because damn puerto rican didnt want to return a drink

>>26323141
Okay, sounds shitty but understandable. The store I used to work with has now updated its register software and from what I've gathered they're not allowed to do things like that anymore either. Good way to prevent theft and fuckery, but its slow as balls when you get a difficult/retarded customer or a return.

Back when I was in retail we'd get a ton of functions and options that allowed you to handle issues quickly at the cost of poorer inventory management and possible theft by employees. Besides that most returns or more complex issues were handled by a service register, and employees weren't trained in how to use those extra functions except to just not use them. Most of the stuff I had to figure out myself, which in hindsight is a really dumb way to handle employees, especially 16 year olds.

>do you want me to return the drink

I see you have no experience buying things in a physical store. Let me explain for you:

What OP said means "do you want me to go through the returns process and put the money back on your card?" OP asked this question as returning things is often a time consuming process and the customer may not want to wait and OP is hoping they will say no and get their free drink later as there is a lineup behind the customer.

What OP meant was not "i need you to physically give me that drink as in order to return it I must take out my chemistry set, break this drink down to its fundamental components, return them to the shelf, and make a new drink for no reason". That is the interpretation of a sheltered retard.

OP said he needs to make her a new drink. That's ridiculous.

>>26323408

i didnt

she would use the drink i made as her free one, she physically is in possession of so i would have to put the money back on her credit card and ring it as free.

i asked if she wanted another one because then that would be the free one and she would have 2 drinks, having paid for one and gotten the 2nd one free.

>>26323408

>learn to read

Follow your own advice.

OP offered to go through the returns process and the customer did not agree.

OP then offered to give them a second drink and make this second drink the free one.

Why are you having such a difficult time understanding this?

I'm sorry OP assumed that people on this board have experience purchasing things in physical stores and are familiar with basic retail terminology.

at that point the dog had redirected and was then attacking my leg and left four deep puncture wounds, I did nothing against protocol. and it was in our parking lot, not in the kennel with lots of people around. did you expect me to wait around while this dog ripped up my leg until someone would've been able to grab a hose or mace? that's completely impractical.

and age doesn't matter when it comes to aggressive dogs

>tools to separate aggressive dogs
meaning a hose, mace, or capture pole. none of which were available

and if a dog is going for an animal's throat, that means they're trying to kill. you don't wait around, you do whatever you have to do to defuse the situation immediately.

which are based on media reports, which are shown to be biased.

there's no official national database on dog attacks based on breed, because such statistics are so easily skewed. there's so scientific evidence that they're aggressive towards humans

Eh, a lot of people are giving you shit for this, but I think you did it right. I live with my dad and he's picked up a shitload of strays and taken care of them, so we have many dogs and one of them is a pit. He's terrifying, but not dangerous. Fat fuck though, if we leave him alone he'll steal food from all of the other dogs and snap at them if they come near. We think he was starved by his previous owner.

Undeveloped little puppy teeth aren't going to gnaw through your ankle bone. There was no reason to slam it on the wall, and if you hadn't let your feelings for the dog's owners cloud your judgement, you could have easily overpowered it and pulled it away by its collar. I understand it's a stressful situation to be in and requires immediate action but you did not handle that as well as you could have. It's pretty stupid to work around potentially violent and unpredictable dogs and not carry some form of defense. Particularly spray - with its weight and size there is no good reason to not carry it with you.

>>26324336
yeah, resource guarding is almost a sure thing in dogs that were emaciated at one point. my dog was starved as a puppy until I got him up to a healthy weight at around 4 months, and he had intense resource guarding. but he's 8 months now and after training with him he's totally fine, it takes a lot of work though. good on your dad for taking them in, and at least the dog is going for corrections instead of aggression.

>>26324396
>undeveloped little puppy teeth
at eight months old most dogs have fully or nearly fully developed canines and close to their full potential of bite pressure, depending on breed

>overpowered and pulled it away by its collar
at the time the dog wasn't wearing a collar, or a leash. and simply pulling off the dog would have resulted in an even worse injury, since the dog had already started clamping down and shaking her head. just trying to pull the dog off does not work in situations like this

we used to carry spray, but there were too many hazards with it in such close quarters like the kennel. and usually when an attack happens it's inside the shelter grounds where there's other people and we have hoses on almost every corner. not in the parking lot

So glad I don't work in retail now, but I used to work in a wholesale supermarket and most of the customers were smelly pakis buying 3289532 boxes of shit for their corner shops. They always got really angry whenever I couldn't understand them or made a mistake. Quit that job after a month, got tired of lugging round tonnes and tonnes of beer, sweets and sacks of rice and potatoes for ungrateful streetshitters.

Then again it's not always foreigners that pissed me off in retail. I also worked in a hotel bar/restaurant and most of the clientele were white, rich, drunk, angry and British though I suppose all those things are a given. That was always fun.

I'm really sorry to hear that anon, but helping out animals can be a great way to feel better

you're probably going to have better luck volunteering at a shelter than animal hospital. the reason being that the hospitals that do take volunteers more often than not accept people who are trying to get animal clinic hours to be accepted into vet school. plus the work would be a lot more demanding socially. I actually worked part time at an emergency vet for a bit as an aide.

and as for what you'd do at a shelter, it really depends. there's cleaning kennels, dishes/laundry, dog walking, and some shelters (like ours) have behavior modification programs where you can learn how to help train dogs with behavior problems to make them more adoptable. what id recommend is starting with something simple like kennel cleaning, it gives you a chance to get easily comfortable with the staff and shelter environment before moving into more social/enrichment type work like dog walking. there are some shelters that require new volunteers to do a certain amount of cleaning type work before they "graduate" to the more fun stuff, but that's certainly not a universal policy. I started off as a kennel cleaner, then dog walker and cattery companion, then behavior modification, then was helping out in the surgical facilities before getting hired

and being a social butterfly really doesn't matter as long as you would be able to communicate to the staff if there's an issue or you have a question. you likely wouldn't be interacting with the public unless you chose to do event volunteering or something of the sort. there's no reason you wouldn't be able to do some of the more fun jobs as well
