^ You get comments of encouragement? Wow, we're dying of lack of appreciation in retail...

Yeah but you cant really compare because once your customer buys something, they are out of there and half the time someone isnt even looking to buy. Like even if its busy, customers in a retail shop dont really feel it to say, take your time or your doing well or whatever because apart from the purchase at the register or some assistance with sizes, they dont really expect you to be at their service. Whereas for us, we are stuck with the same customers/they are stuck with the same waiters for a good couple of hours and you keep going back to them constantly having to give them service so if its busy and things are taking longer than usual they are affected. If that makes sense. It just puts you at ease that they appreciate that you are busting your arses for them and it will usually make you be more efficient with that table in the end anyway so its win win.

Saying that i'm always very polite to all workers in retail because i know how much customers can be a bitch to handle, if they are nice, they deserve it.

Number 1 rule for customers:
- it doesn't hurt to say please and thankyou!

Oh god today it was really busy and it was the end of my shift... I put up my sign and was serving the last few people in my line, and the supervisor was coming down to count my till..... then people kept on putting stuff up on my register even though my sign was up.... I said to one guy "sorry I'm closed" and he goes "well work some overtime bitch".... delightful. My supervisor came and took over to serve him and let me go home because I was supposed to have finished 20 minutes earlier... how rude eh? Like don't people understand that you have to go home at some stage. It isn't the individual on the registers fault that the lines are huge, it is either the managements fault for not putting on enough staff... or nobody's fault in the case today, every register was open, it was just insanely busy.

You must have the worst job ever! I've read so many of your horror work stories I don't know how you put up with it, whereabouts do you work? (which suburb?) cos it sounds like where you are there are a lot of dodgy people

No it isn't.

One rule for co-workers


THE CUSTOMERS DON'T CARE IF YOU WALK OUT OF THE BACK ROOM AND ANNOUNCE YOU JUST POPPED A PIMPLE! EW!

For that matter, I really don't want to know either, but still. YOU SAID THAT TO TOTAL STRANGERS.

Try and avoid holding your coins in your hand for a long time, especially in summer. there is simething incredibly gross about warm, sweaty money.


On Saturday we were incredibly busy. Large amount of poeple everywhere. I was going faster then I usually do and for some reason I kept getting full trolly loads where as the two other registers near me were getting half trolley loads and baskets oh and I also had a woman who forgot her pin code...
Anyway a woman turned to the guy I was serving and said "Seems like we chose the wrong line, everyone else seems to be getting served but us." When I was getting the full trolley loads compared to others. Well duh lady! Who would have guessed the more people want to buy the longer it will take!
So she moved over to the register next to me....which happened to be used by a guy who had started that day. 3 full trolley loads later, she was still being served. Serves her right.

i hate it when customers complain about us being understaffed

when we are not
its actually because they all shop at once..etc

wenever my supervisors get told off for long service, my service supervisor just goes

"actually sir/madam, my FIRST job is doing refunds and admin, i dont HAVE to be serving, but i do"

i hate it wen it's busy, so i go faster, then stuff up more....and dont complain about service, maybe if customers were NICER there would be more staff
