r/Talesfromretail My Kids DESERVE Free Food!

welcome to our slash tales from retail where the customer is always wrong I work at a gas station for a grocery store I love my job but sometimes the people I watch as a lady stop short on the drive up to an out-of-order pump and steps out to move the heavily weighted against the wind cone over to the side which is a real feat she think it's back in her car so she can drive up properly she then gets back out takes the red out-of-order bag off the pump handle and proceeds to throw into the trash oh I breathe deeply because oh this woman really she goes about trying to use the pump but after a minute she yells at the screen isn't working gas shock and horror an out-of-order pump is out of order how dare it be I ignore her yelling as I would any other crazy person doing such crazy things she waddles over to my window see her she starts the pump isn't working the screams not on I play innocent like I didn't just watch her do what she did really which pump pup number eight I believe it is oh I'm sorry ma'am but puppy to shut down at the moment it needs repair it needs repairs I didn't know yes ma'am I reply you didn't run over the cone there did you no I don't think so good it could really damage your vehicle if you were to run it over but it's there to let you know that the pump is out of order is that what it means well I guess I'll go to another one that would be best she leaves people I want to cry down in the Commons barons has this contribution I once witnessed a guy at the gym move an out-of-order sign from a machine and do 12 reps of zero pounds he grunted away as if he was actually making an effort I'm never surprised at just how stupid people can be our next reddit post is from ke khet so I work at a discount retail store that puts their own store branded tags on merchandise that we used instead of the manufacturers tags and the only way to look up merchandise in my store is through our own store branded ties so I'm on the register and a lady comes up to the checkout and immediately places a pair of high-end athletic men's flip-flops warning a price check on them there wasn't a store branded tag but luckily my company is a genius and all prices of shoes are written on the bottom of the shoes so I flip them over and there's a 35 written on the bottom we round up opinion when we were right on the bottom so the actual price is $34.99 so the following conversation happened okay so the price fries are going to be $34.99 but how do you know that we write the prices of our shoes on the bottoms in case the tag gets ripped off oh well the tag said $35 and I thought that just couldn't be the price so I ripped the tag off and look this tag here she points to the manufacturer's tag says it's $21 I am sorry ma'am but we only go by the sword name tags these will be $34.99 would you like them today the lady ended up not buying the flip-flops and went on a rant about how the price shouldn't be higher than what I could get at the mall and that's expensive for this store I can understand that 35 bucks is a bit much for some flip-flops but I don't make the prices lady I can only follow them I eventually had to interrupt her rant with have a good day ma'am and call the next customer because she wouldn't leave and was holding up the line lady if you can get these items cheaper at the mall then why aren't you doing your shopping at the mall our next reddit post is from Metroid Zoid full disclosure I have my fair share of plants and I don't need anymore a fact reaffirmed when watering the whole household takes the better part of an afternoon but the only thing that motivates me more than a passion for horticulture is pure unadulterated spite first case a guy calls us asking about house plants I confirm that's my area what can I do for you etc and he wants to know the price for a very specific plant sensible area cylindrical starfish if you're wondering and I tell them the price and immediately I get a long rebuttal of no it's not it's only 1/5 that price and you have it in a size that we don't actually have it in despite assuring him that no we've never sold one that low and I would gladly check on getting a different size he keeps cutting me off before I give up I offered to hold the last one we have for him through the afternoon to see if he likes it he tells me don't bother you don't know which plant you're talking about I'm coming down there later I'll find it and get this sorted out click well ok then I flagged my coworker Sam going on break and oh yeah buying this plant last I heard he but grudgingly accepted the two-week waiting period until we could get more in at a larger size and a higher markup the second case happened today we're very short-staffed and doing our darndest to keep folks happy and get them their lawn and garden questions answered in the middle of juggling the phones and aligns several people deep a lady walks up with a lovely variegated African pilot I had my eyes on Pryor and says I need to ask you a favor I think oh this is about how to take care of his little Butte or what houseplants would work in our house etc nope she whips out several ziplock bags of change and says I went through my husband's jackets and found these can you count it out for me and tell me how much I have I politely apologize and say I don't have the time and she insists I once again tell her I can't do that at this time but if she would like I'd be happy to set aside the plant while she figures out her change she gives me a minute long silent layer before saying you know what I don't want any of this then this was literally the one plant and I tell her a bit too cheerfully no problem I'll be glad to put that back on the Shelf but I didn't I finished up the line and thought this plant deserves a better home just in case she comes back and bought it on my next break variegated violets aren't exactly rare but they come across our shelves infrequently enough that I was content and how the boyfriend is asking was it all worth it and to that I say yes yes it was what I want to know is does Opie have a house full of plants because she genuinely loves plants or because she keeps spied buying plants because she's angry at her customers our next Raider poster Mieke a customer walks through the door and up to the register are holding a Gascon hello how much gas will a two gallon gas jug hold two gallons no I mean how many gallons will a two gallon gas jug actually hold I blink li stare at the customer a two gallon gas jug will hold two gallons of gas well I didn't know I'm just trying to help out a friend so you want to get two gallons of gas and a gas jug okay what pump are you on no listen to me I want to get as much gas as I can and I have a two gallon gas jug I want to put as much gas in it it is it'll hold I blink li stare at the customer and after a minute of staring at her with nothing else going on I guess it dawns on her what I said oh I get it now a two gallon gas jug two gallons I've really been answering my own question with my question haven't I and you just repeated what I was telling you yes ma'am what pump would you like me to put it on for you the pump I'm parked on which pump are you on I don't know it's the one that I parked at me getting really frustrated at this point don't worry Opie I am too okay which vehicle is yours no way one I look outside all four pumps have vehicles on them and three out of the four are white which white one ma'am there are three of them out there on the pumps that are white well the white one that's mine would you mind looking out the door and telling me which white vehicle is yours she looks out the door oh I see what you mean I'm the one all the way on the far end okay so you want two gallons of gas on pump four that'll be four bucks 34 cents four dollars and thirty four cents through two gallons of gas why so high gas is two dollars and seventeen cents a gallon 217 times two is four thirty four this was my very first transaction after taking over the register this afternoon I have a similar story that I'm like 95% sure I've already told on my channel before but I'm sure there are people who haven't heard it and it's short when I was in high school I used to work at Subway and one one time this lady comes in and is like I'd like to order a sandwich please okay footlong or 6-inch what's the difference well one of them's a footlong and the other is 6-inch oh I see well then let's go with the 6-inch so yes I do believe that people are really this stupid our next reddit post is some sleepiness so I just got called in to work today due to the massive amounts of people purchasing whatever they can stockpile in case of the end of the world every other second I'm getting a customer asking for a hand sanitizer toilet paper and Lysol wipes people I know for a fact aren't clean at all decide to become clean freaks this one lady who've I've encountered many times in this store always friendly comes up to me and asked for toilet paper I tell her we're sold out she keeps complaining about how the sale starts today what do you mean I tell her I literally put out the last of it last night and everything sold in the morning at like 15 bucks each she keeps telling me but the sale starts today where's the toilet paper I keep telling her we don't have any and she keeps getting louder and angrier every time she asks I am like no we don't have any more and walk away it's crazy how even the nicest if people turn into monsters when they think the world is going to end so kind of funny story about all these toilet paper memes in my house we actually have a bidet and we like it so much that we got a second one nothing makes me feel more smug and self-satisfied than seeing all these people panic over a toilet paper when I haven't had to buy a roll of toilet paper in like a year our next reddit post is from the almighty SAP backstory there's a lady who will come into our story usually around noon with four annoying and loud misbehaving children of course she's completely oblivious to all of this yay she would pack all them into the cart pick out some sort of produce apples bananas our etc and give it to them to hold and the kids would eat all of it then she would come up to the register and give me the whole oops sorry I didn't even see that they did that I would call my manager and basically ask WTF am I supposed away and usually she would either get the same amount of whatever produce and she would complain that she'd not gotten that much or mine were way smaller so the manager would just waved off and let it go today she didn't get away with it because my manager and I were in a bad mood I was quietly working at my register when I heard the parade of obnoxious children running to the store with the lady on her phone completely ignoring them shocker she piled all them into the card and headed straight for the produce I continued working at my register and lost track of her until she came out to my register she huffed and puffed at the little old lady in front of her writing a cheque while all of her children were screaming in her cards she's still on the phone and I hear the rude lady talking semi quietly on her phone yeah I'll be home soon there's some slow hag in front of me thankfully the little old lady who has literally maybe the nicest person I've ever met doesn't hear that well so she missed rude lady's comment after hearing that I purposely take my sweet time processing her cheque and asking her how her grandchildren are doing I finished bagging her groceries and set them in her cart as she's pulling away rude lady decides she's not going fast enough and actually pushes her out of the way with her carts when the little old lady turns to look at her the rude lady smiles smugly sahari the little old lady frowns and walks away now the real fun begins before she says anything I noticed that each child has banana peels in their laps and the youngest has banana all over their face there's even a peel inside rude lady's purse my kids ate bees here she proceeds to grab and dump all the peels on my register and starts to leave ma'am I need some sort of payment you can't just leave after eating all these fruit lady turns and glares at me she backs up a little just way the peels or something I don't have time for this I glare back at her even if I was allowed to do that I'd need all the peels i gestured to the one in her purse gross she throws it at me here's your peel no way them her face is getting angrier by the minute I'll have to call the manager that's when I noticed the organic sticker on all the peels which means it'll be more expensive a buck 29 per pound in fact she slams her hand on my register as I'm about to call this is ridiculous just weigh my hand or something as she's pressing her hand down she's also squeezing the peels as hard as she can making a huge mess of the peels of banana mush I've had it manager to the front please the manager thankfully wasn't far and came rushing up what can I do for you he seizes this particular lady and the mess of my register before he can open his mouth again she wails at him your cashier has been so rude to my family and I all I want to do is pay for our bananas and go she's being incredibly difficult and even made this disgusting mess I am fuming at this point and my manager is getting a little ticked off knowing this lady is a liar because I would never do something this childish well what are you going to do about this for us I turned to my manager her and her children ate an entire bunch of bananas tried to leave without paying and when I called her out on it she told me in a way her hand and squash these peels the manager nodded go ahead and weigh your hand whatever comes out - she can pay that then she's no longer welcome in our store of course she's shocked and stammering trying to claim that I lied about the entire story and it wasn't like that obviously my manager was having none of it and told her to put her banana covered hand back on the scale she did and pressed as hard as she could well she's not too smart and forgot how scales work she pressed it down and it came up as about 30 pounds and your totals gonna be $38 and 54 cents will you be using cash or card she was completely outraged and started yelling at my manager and I calling us crooks and that she'd never pay something so ridiculous my manager threatened to call the police and report her for theft if she didn't she screamed some more and threw two $20 bills at me I gave her the change which she snapped out of my hand and continue to scream and curse down the exit and out the door thank you for shopping and have a nice day as someone who used to work at a grocery store I can 100% bow to the people are actually like this I used to work at a grocery store back when I was in college and I was manning the register at the self-checkout area you know the guy who basically just stands there to make sure that people don't steal things and occasionally approves an order something goes wrong well one time I'm working night shifts so there's no one up at the front of the store basically just me and this other dude checking out and he just peacefully goes through the self checkout with no problems whatsoever grabs his groceries and then as he walks past me to exit the store he looks me dead in the eyes and says effing jackhole and just walks out so like sometimes when I'm lying awake in bed at night just trying to fall asleep that random memory will pop up into my brain and I'll think why was that guy so angry at me why did he curse me out for no reason it was a self checkout and he checked himself out and then he just insulted a random person for no reason I think that's just gonna be one of the mysteries of my life that I'm never gonna get the answer to that was our slash tales from
