@ytrbut:
-Please don't ask for two slices of prosciutto when it's quite obvious that the slicer is being used and there's a thousand other customers.
Why don't you slice 2 slices? It's so easy... takes a short time and customers might only want it for a sandwich.
-Please don't come in to the store at 8:55pm and expect the slicer to be fully constructed and operational. Most likely it's been pulled to bits to be cleaned, or else is already cleaned, and therefore I'm not using it.
Pretty stuck up here. I use the slicer even after it's cleaned. I clean the slicer (if i'm working nigts) at around 6pm. Just wipe it down after you've finished. Sure, it's a hassle.. but who cares? The more sales the better is it not?
-When the above happens, the Duty Manager will always side with me. Trust me, they don't want to hear your bitching, especially as they themselves are trying to close the store at that exact time as well.
And what time do you close may I ask? If it's 9pm, sure.. but why leave the slicers at 9pm to clean?
-Please don't put your fingers on the glass, or fail to have your kids remove their hands from the glass. It's spotless because I woke up at 4am so I had time to both set-up and clean them. We don't have little fairies which come through every time people put their dirty mits on them to clean them.
Get over it. Customers will always put their fingers on the glass. It's no biggy. Just CLEAN it again.
-Don't tell me I'm a rude prick when I pointedly ask one of my fellow employees to clean the outside part of the front window in front of the bacon. My intention was to make you feel bad and educate you so you don't point out exactly which cut of bacon you want by putting your finger on the glass, and I don't need you telling me what my intention was.
Are you like the 2IC or something? What's with ordering people around? lol. And sif just clean the bacon section, =/. Tell your fellow employees to clean every window when it's quiet.
-"Ham off the Bone" is always going to have fat on it. It's $18.98kg, so no, I am not pulling the fat off it before I price it up. Stop being an idiot and buy the more processed ham if you don't want the fat on it.
AFAIK, All of the processed ham would have f at in it. I don't think they strip the fat off it.
-No, I am not reducing chickens at 3:30pm on a Saturday. Nor at 4:00pm. And the more you ask me, the longer I'm going to delay. If you stand around at the chicken warmer waiting for me to reduce them, I'll probably just let them go and reduce them for the staff members, or else get the produce department manager to move you along because you're RIGHT IN THEIR WAY, for fucks sake.
You're actually required to reduce the chickens you know? 4 Hour rule. And who cares if they want the reduced chickens? The more chickens you get rid of, the less chickens the staff will have to dump at night.
-If you buy 10kg of prawns, don't be offended if we walk you to the checkouts to pay for it. I'm not letting someone walk around with $250 worth of prawns which, if dumped anywhere except a freezer, will result in us throwing them out.
Never had anyone take 10kg's of prawns, but that's acceptable i guess.. except for the fact that if it's a peak time, why would you be escorting the customer when there's other customers to serve.
-If I'm not serving anyone at the moment, don't ask me to serve you, or tell me to start serving. Only my department manager can tell me to do that, not you, and most likely there's a good reason I'm not serving you; namely, making sure we have the stock so that we can sell it to you when you ask for it.
Dude, just fucking serve the customers. Don't be a lazy prick and just ignore the customers. I have managed to fill sliced & shaves whilst serving after finished a tray on a Saturday when it's peak. What you said here, is evidence of you being a "rude prick"
TBH, it looks like you'rej ust complaining for the sake of complaining, most of the things there are pretty nitpicky. And yes, i do work at the deli. I do 10 hour shifts. I know what it's like and I don't even complain as much as you.
