From when I worked in a deli at Coles about a year ago:
1. When I address you, please respond, whether you are done making your decision on which type of ham you would like two slices of or not, it makes me feel awkward.
2. Do not be gruff, I am the one handling what will be in your lunch.
3. Do not ask for prawns. We only have plastic gloves.
4. Do not ask for crayfish. They scare me.
5. Please refrain from being a bitch.
6. If you are female, around my age and wanting something from the deli, please go away. I have self-esteem issues and am wearing a hair net.
7. Do not ask for those messy kebabs, one of each of the four flavours, they are a pain in the ass to clean up after.
8. If you are the person who decides what the deli will stock, I hate you. Please smell these vine leaves.
9. Please make up your damn mind.
10. DO NOT, I repeat do not, ask for me to slice up something fresh for you. It does not matter how thick lunch meat is when it is in your belly, which is the main point of eating food.
11. #10, but especially when we're busy. You are wasting not only my time but other innocent bystanders'.

ya hasra and goodnight
A couple from KFC
1. When I tell you you cant have a 21 piece bucket all in breasts and/or drumsticks, don't give me "the KFC in [somewhere] did it for me". Especially when I've just explained to you that all the other customers won't get any of those pieces if you take them all..
2. When you come through drive thru, have the correct money and we dont do EFTPOS there.
3. When we don't come to the register at drive thru immediately, dont roll your eyes... we cant stand there 24/7 and if we're not there, we're probably walking to the window right now
4. when we ask what type of drink you wanted with the meal and with every meal you've purchased then, dont sigh and roll you eyes. There are people out there who are very specific and if we dont ask you, assume its a pepsi.
5. It would be nice if you emptied your tray contents into the garbage if you dine in
6. for the gazillionth time, lots of things on our menu are for a limited time so dont get angry if we dont sell BBQ chickens or corn.
7. dont get pissed when the manager confirms exactly what Ive just said. face it, I was right.

I had to teach a lady how to save a document the other day. She sounded like she was about 25.
Rule being, use your common sense. There is a button which says 'save'. Odds are, that will save your document.
Also, don't be a cocky bastard when I'm trying to help you, telling me that you've tried all the stuff I'm doing before and it didn't work. I'm the one who gets paid to fix this stuff, so I'd rather go through it again because alot of the time end users don't know exactly how to troubleshoot. And then don't tell me that the computer you've got is sub-par because you've done something monumentally stupid to it.
And don't call us 5 times in an hour to check up on one case that isn't urgent that we've told you is waiting to be actioned by another team whom we have to control over.

to add to this, a rule for general life more than customers, really. DONT WATCH PORN ON THE BUS/TRAIN. THE PEOPLE SITTING BEHIND YOU CAN SEE AND HEAR EVERYTHING.
yeah that happened to me a little while ago. the dude was oblivious to the "omgwtf" reaction going on around him, its was quite hilarious.

Another rule for public transport, don't play music on your phone and sing along to it. You look like a complete tool and no-one appreciates it.

Upon thinking about I have some more.
12. I work in deli. I do not know where in this 12-aisle store the whatever-the-fuck-in-silly-sauce is.
13. Don't ask me to get 4kg of chicken breast... or for that matter anything more than 2kg... I have small and weak arms, as you can plainly see.
14. Your special requests pester me, they are more of an inconvenience to me than they are a convenience for you. Grow a heart.
15. Just because I work in the deli does not mean I buy some of everything to try out... like seriously, when they employ people they don't exactly... garhh... even if they did, people have differing opinions. In short; do not ask me what [whatever] tastes like. Try it yourself?!
One time we ran out of something and this lady lectured me really savagely for like 5 minutes, went away for 5 minutes and came back when she decided to get the substitute after all. It was just really mean because I was only 15 and obviously not in charge of who orders how much, that job belongs to the manager... But anyway I think she saw me flinch when she returned, because she was slightly more humane. Still a bitch though.
Please note: To all customers like this, there are a number of knives sitting around in the deli that tempt one in your maelstrom of ignorance.
Another thing, one time this crazy older man came and started yelling just because they didn't 'get the right price', he yelled at like two workers and our manager, making a huge scene, and it turns out he was wrong, it was at the right price. OMG, why the hell are people like that? It just boggles the mind.

well if its part of your job you should be doing it even if its somewhat a pain in the ass. if u actually cant lift that much then find a new god damn job. customers who regularly buy large quantities like that shouldnt have to work around u because u cant do the job.kuroneko said:
the difference is its your job and you get paid for doing it. do your fucking job.kuroneko said:
and MaNiElla, as for dealing with fuckwits who want to have sex in a bookshop just walk up to the sleazy couple and say get your god damn cock out of her ass you fucking cunt. the loser will be so embarrassed and nervous he's bound to jam his cock in his fly. HAHA

Today.....
Now I don't mind if customers ask me where something is in the store. However, I do expect them to be polite, saying 'excuse me', 'thank you', or another appropriate alternative. I had a guy today yell at me from down the aisle 'yo, babe, where's the bbq cleaner'. At first I just rolled my eyes and told him where it was. But then 5 mins later, he asked where vinegar was, in the same manner. Then it was strepsils. And then cake mix. All of this was in the same tone of voice. When I saw him coming back the fifth time, I got one of the grocery supervisors to stand near me (who is extremely tall and tough looking). And all of a sudden he asked nicely. It astounded me.
So I guess the rule for today is either:
- Be polite when you ask for something
or - If you're going to be rude to me continually, don't change your behaviour. I know what to expect then.

yeah especially when you're only there once or twice a week and every time you come in it's been changed...so customers ask where stuff is and you direct them to where it was the last time you were there, and then obviously they get shitty when they find they're looking for their cat litter in the confectionery aisle.jodi..1 said:
