abusive customers

[Quindiana Jones]

I became such a valuable member at one retail job that I could be a total bastard to some customers. It was great. I love smurfing people like that over.

At a different job, I had a guy threaten to beat up the staff then, when a customer asked him to calm down, threaten to beat up the other customer too. I threw him out and told him to smurf off. While he was in the store, he kept going on about how he owned three hair salons in Oldham, as if it somehow entitled him to act like a . It's always nice telling those "the customer is always right!" sorts to shut the hell up or get out.

This thread feels like a time machine. You would think that, with the way rental places are dropping like flies, you would bend over backwards for these people. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally glad you're not, I'm just surprised.

To be honest, you'd be suprised; we do okay actually. Most days we take over a grand. We don't just rent, it's quite a big store in comparison to the normal Blockbusters. We have new and preowned games and DVD's, so we get most of our profits through retail. It also goes in our favour that we're the only place in the town that really sells games or films. I've always been a really nice member of staff and usually show digression with fines, If the customer seems genuine then quite often I'll wipe off a balance as long as they rent again. But I got advised not to do it anymore, so I have to be mean! Every balance has to be paid, no matter what.

I worked for a cable company. It was absolutely terrible and thankless.

We would get phone calls of people screeching that they couldn't see every goddamn blade of grass on their HD service. We would get people calling to scream about their cable going out and not showing whatever game was on (it's called network blocking because they want you to pay to see the game). A lot of sports-related anger.

Nobody is ever happy with their cable.

I worked at Walgreens for a little while, and customers were rude to me on a daily basis.

Although, I would comfort myself by thinking, "You're mean to me, but at least I don't trout in my pants."

I don't know what Walgreens is, but it sounds terrible. :/

It sounds to me like it's a nappy retailer.

[Quindiana Jones]

If it's a nappy retailer for babies, then Clo is a horrible, horrible person.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Walgreens is a drug store, guys.

[Quindiana Jones]

Ohhhhhhh...

I don't really get that many legit nasty customers, but like the general ignorance and impoliteness of customers really gets to me now.

Make that two happy people with their cable. Mine is fine. Verizon is all good, except when I call them about my internet network. The bastards.

Walgreens is where all the old people buy their drugs and all the poor people buy their cans of corn.

Uh uh. Dollar General is where poor people by their corn.
