Anyone work at retail? I do I like when people bring their manners to work espically when you are helping them with what they need. I get so many people who don't care what they say to you as long as they get their assistance. I'v even got people bothering me on my break headphones and phone up to my ear. What is with people these days and why do they think they can just hassle you or make it on their time to ask of you when you are trying to enjoy your day. Numerous of times I'v had to explain things time and time again where something is and they ask for you to show them even though its in the next isle you tell them and where the middle or top shelf just look man and you shall see what I'm talking about. Blocking isle is some peoples favorite thing to do when they can move their cart on the side where they are not have them on one side and a cart on the other. Its so hard to work with this without being frustrated just move to the side and don't do it again cause some people don't get the hint when they move their cart back were it is and I have to go back their. Also they have a crowed and stand in a isle like a reuion. Tell me what bugs you share with the class its ok its like venting I know I feel better.

I've had several retail and customer service positions, mostly at coffee shops. I've had some really great customers, but I've also dealt with some really rude people, too. I hate the ones who come up to the cash register while they're talking on the phone, and won't end their phone conversation to take care of business. Or the people who act like it's the end of the world if their coffee isn't exactly 173.5 degrees Farenheit. Anyway, you should check out the website www.notalwaysright.com. It has a lot of stories about stupid or rude customers, and most of them are really funny.
