i had a customer today......this is the story...

blah blah blah scanned everything through.. then she wanted to pay by eftpos.. ok so i press the button.. her card doesnt work (cause its bent).. she didnt believe me so i entered the card for her.. next thing i know the screen comes up pinpad error (this is common, all u have to do is press clear and re-enter the card).. so i do this.. then her cash out didnt come out... so she goes off her head about how im a young teenager i should know how to use technology..

then wen the sale is finally complete she yells out at me "so much for the fuckin computer age!!!' when i didnt even do anything wrong :( damn customers

Should have told her that her ass isn't a good place to store her bank card, but from the way she reacted I don't think that's the only thing she had up her ass.

^^ hahahaha awww that made me feel better.

oh well was a good day in the end.. i got to yell at a n00b for telling a customer that these fans were $16 when they were really $40 something. She jus pulled a figure out of her head and gave it to them (i then had to cop the abuse for the wrong price). So i yelled at her and told her to use facts next time, get a price check or find a ticket, dont jus pull random figures out of your head.

it felt good. :) im such a bitch

I had a really bad day yesterday. :( The manager kept telling me off for every little thing i'd do, and one thing she does is talk about you and how crap you are to people WHILST YOU'RE STILL THERE., and she kept doing that to me. And she got really pissed off at me over tiny things. So by the end of the day i was completely depressed and wanted to quit because i hate her so much! I dont think i can handle another day being around her. :( And she always mistimes the breaks. e.g. for an 8 hour shift u're meant to get two 15 minute breaks and one half hour, but she tries to dodge us out of the second 15 minute break. Yesterday i had a 9 hour shift and she didnt give me my last 15 minute break!

Today was better though because she wasnt there and a better supervisor was on. *phew*

Just take it anyway! thats what i do.. supervisers always forget and managers always try to take them away from you.. so i just go.. i go up to them and say "yeah im goin for my break now k?" and walk off.. theres no way they're gettin away without giving me my break :) Your entitled to it.. they cant jus not give it to you....unless they have a REALLY good reason

LOL the other day this old man came in, clearly he'd had a stroke or something, and was wearing one of those adult nappies.....anywho...I usually love talking to the oldies b/c they always have pleasant stories and are nice...but jeepers! This guy stunk! Let me put it mildly that my eyes were watering b/c the stench was so bad. It's a really difficult smell to describe - if you live in Lismore, you'll understand the urine/hippy smell I speak of. ....that was it...but make it more denser in smell. and what made it worse was he was really slow to get himself organised, so while I was trying to be polite and not vomit on the spot, he took about 6 painful minutes *I counted trust me!* to leave my checkout! I hope to never experience that again!!!

There's also one guy who never speaks, but is really nice who smells like over-rippened banannas...I dunno how he achieves this smell! But that smell I can handle.

LOL i used to hate that...specially workin at the reject shop where everything is like rock bottom prices anyway and cheap customers demand discounts on a 50c crappy ornament or something.

as for "charm" i have exactly none. i just tell the ppl to stop wasting my time.
