The Customer is Always Correct

Dear Friends,

I may not have mentioned before, but I have the pleasure of working in retail. I can't go into specifics because I could lose my job.

If you've ever worked retail, or any profession where you have to deal with the public, you will  know that this statement is 100% FALSE.

Whichever genius conjured up that lie, ought to be found and shook. I fully understand that employees make their fair share of mistakes, but I can guarantee that at least 80% of problems could be solved if people could learn to actually read a sign.

With that being said, I've compiled a list of other annoyances. Brace yourselves.

°self-checkout machines do not take away my job.
°If you do not like using computers, then let me not use my register and resort to using chalkboard and chalk. It will only take about five times longer.
°complaining about the cost will not make me lower the price for you.
°if we had every item in the back store room, it would be on the sales floor.
°why yes, yes I do love being your personal shopper even though that's not in my job description.
°I do know you hate the self-checkout machines. You've told me a million times. Wanna know what I hate? Your complaining. Especially seeing as I have no control.

This rant could go on and on, but my break is over.

Stay golden. :)
