John Lambies Doos Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I don't really know. I was 16, I was more concerned about hiding my massive erection* anytime one of the fit female staff went by. *exaggeration ^ sacked for wanking in the safeway toilets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Ferrino Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Lazy b*****ds who change their minds about buying a product and can't be fucked to put it back where they picked it up. Tubs of thawing ice cream near the cooked meats, tins of beans freezing with the petit pois...... Absolute scumbags have probably never even heard of Ethiopia.

nsr Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 People who stand dumbly at the checkout until the operator tells them the cost of their shopping, then react in apparent bewilderment that they then need to open their purse/wallet and fork over some funds to pay for their transaction. Usually old people. I get that they're losing some of their faculties but surely the concept of money for goods and services is such a basic societal function that they should still be able to grasp it on some instinctual level.

DA Baracus Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Customers who seem to think that shop floor staff make big decisions like what brands the shop will stock and what price items will be, or indeed even what the layout of the store will be. I've worked in supermarkets but seem to have blanked most of the examples from my mind, as I was probably so bored. Worked as an Internet Shopper in Sainsburys (so I was one of the folk firing around pushing one of the big carts), Asda (quit after a single shift) and Iceland. Also worked in Spar and left before I was punted as we got a new manager who a massive dick and an utter jobsworth. I called in sick (hungover) once, claiming that due to snow my train was cancelled, so he called Scotrail (or so he said). He was adamant that folk wore shoes instead of black trainers, despite the fact we were on our feet for hours, often carrying things. Told him I wasn't going to risk the health of my feet and legs for the crappy wage we got. Anyway, I'm digressing. When I worked at Iceland jakies used to steal big blocks of cheese and bacon and sell them in the pub down the street. We used to regularly get the police coming in with bags of the stuff that they had seized. Also, before the licensing laws changed, we would have folk queuing up outside before the shop opened at 09.00, and when it did they'd run (not walk, actually run) to the alcohol bit and buy multiple bottles of Frosty Jacks.

I mind before one of our Champions League games (so a long time ago, before we died, amirite?) a boy came into the boozer and was trying to sell folk packs of bacon that he'd stolen from the Farmfoods up the road. His sales pitch was along the lines of "Aye, you'll want a wee bite to eat after the game". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was once offered horse and dog porn (i.e. folk shagging horses and dogs) in a pub before an away match at Easter Road (December 2006 or 2005 I think). I declined.

Aye, worked for Semi-Chem, and one woman came in and demanded the Factor 50 sun tan lotion we'd sold on the cheap in the past. I explained that we'd run out. She demanded we get some more in. I explained that it had been discontinued and couldn't be re-ordered. She then launched into a 5 minute diatribe about how she needed Factor 50 due to a skin complaint etc etc etc. I got my revenge by explaining to her how Semi-Chem bought goods on the grey market and how it wasn't possible for us to get the discounted stuff any more. I also helpfully pointed out there was a Boot's round the corner. She pointed out it was twice the price. I didn't say "looks like you CAN put a price on your own health" .. she then demanded I go round to Boot's, buy the expensive stuff, come back to the shop and sell it to her at half the price. I politely declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Was in Morrisons this morning and an old guy asked someone at the self service to help him pack his bag. Halfway through he started screaming at her she was packing it all wrong. Amazingly she took it all out and repacked it to his specific demand. I'd have lost patience and quit, or ignored him.
