Stupid customers (1 Viewer)

[brianoak]

Some woman just came in and asked if her sadlle was under guarantee if it was eaten by her dog.When I stiopped laughing and told her no she goes "but its only a few weeks old",she was deadly serious.

I work in small bike shop in Donaghmeade where you can pretty much see everything we sell,BIKES like, as soon as you walk in.
Despite this I have been asked do we sell scramblers,fishing equipment,car accessories,golf clubs etc..

Someone asked for golf clubs last week and I told him they were at the front behind the lawnmowers,I was getting a bit pissed at this stage and figured he might get the sarcasm and fuck off but he wanders up two minutes later and goes "Eh wheres the lawnmowers bud?"

Is it just this shopping center or does this shit happen to anyone else that works in shops?

This is true. Thank you for restoring the necessary gravitas, Fancy. Weeing is the worst, and it should be a licence to kill.

 

[brianoak]

I used to work in a wool shop. I had people ask if we chemically cleaned carpets or sold mirrors / doll houses / stationery, and lots of other really dumb, random stuff. If you work in a specialist shop, people have trouble understanding that you honest-to-God only specialise in one particular thing.

 

[brianoak]

Thats exactly what happens here everyday.I just also got asked "How are you on your lunch?"doesnt even make sense

I couldn't stand all that sort of stuff. Boy can the general public be thick. I used to have this on a daily basis on the phone:

Them: What are your opening hours please?
Me: 9am till 5.30pm.
Them: And are you open for the whole day?
Me: Yes, until 5.30pm.
Them: You don't close for lunch?
Me: Nope, we stay open throughout the day.
Them: And what time do you close at?
Me: Half five.
Them: You don't open late, no?

i used to have to man the shop at the front of the glass factory where i worked in england. the worst customers we got were the local aristocrats or mps. i lived in a tory stronghold. anyway thickest, meanest fuckers ever.

What about if it's the youngin? My sister's potty training her two and a half year old daughter at the minute and a week or so ago they were in Dunnes looking at clothes and the niece went and weed on the carpet. Sister was pretty embarrassed and went off to tell someone and get something to do a wee clean (ho ho ho) but the sales assistant (a woman in her 40s and not without her own kids the sister reckons) treated her like complete scum, tut tutting and all "can't you controll your child" and all this shite. If i were there i would have told her to go fuck herself. And then peed on her.

In the bookshop someone once asked me if we sold white lab coats.

 

[brianoak]

Ha ha,ah well even if the people that shop here are crazy most of them are really friendly

Yeah, a kiddy, in the arse but fair nuff. (although I don't remember going around peeing in public when i was....wee).

But in my time I've had to clean the pee belonging to

- a 20something junkie. (on carpet and counter)
- a dog (on carpet)
- a mystery person who peed in the bin.

This bothered me.

i used to work in showco in georges st arcade.....you might remember it as the hello kitty shop. we used to get the absolute scum of the earth, all the fugitive psychopaths and rich D4's coming in. once a guy came in, looked around at the bags and vince ray t shirts and said 'do you sell heavy duty saws or things that staple things into walls?'




for fucks sake.

 

[Shay HT]

Used to work in various xtravisions in bray & greystones.....

Customer/Moron: "Is blah blah out yet"
Me: "No, its nt even out in the cinema yet"
Customer/Moron: "No, its out on video now"
Me: "No, its not"
Customer/Moron: "Yes, it is"
Me: "Look at this" [after doing search on computer: Nothing Found]
Customer/Moron: "No, its out now"
Me: "Ok, try the shelve down the back"
Customer/Moron: "Great, thanks!"
5 minutes later
Customer/Moron: "I can't find it"
Me: "If someone brings it back I'll phone ya" moron!
Customer/Moron: "Thanks"
3 Hours later the phone rings:
Customer/Moron: "Did that movie come back yet"
Me: Trying very hard not to laugh "No, not yet"

###################################################

This xtravision only ever had a float of £10, had to lock the side doors after six, as it was one of the most robbed stores in Ireland! And closed a couple weeks after I worked there!

Customer/Moron who was fairly high: Actaully doesn't say anything, just puts video on counter
Me: "Do you have your card or number please"
Customer/Moron: (After about a 45 second pause) "Ehhhhhhhhh, no"
Me: "OK whats the name on the account"
Customer/Moron: (After about a 60 second pause) "Me Ma"
Me: "Ok, whats your Ma's name"
Customer/Moron: (After about a 60 second pause, by this time his eyes are closing and can barely stand up, and the qeue is really startin to build)
"Ehhh, Mary"
Me: (Really trying not to start laughing), "Ok, whats Marys Surname"
Customer/Moron: (After another 60 second pause), "Eh blah blah"
Me: it was one of those names you can spell loads of ways, so more taking the piss than anything) "How do you spell that"
Customer/Moron: (After an extremely long pause) "Ughhh, dunno"
Me: Ok, where does Mary live
Customer/Moron: Over there (pointing in various directions)
Me: "Do you know the address"
Customer/Moron: (Closes eyes for about 45 seconds almost falls backwards) "eh, twenty......, eh twenty....., eh twenty......, eh no"
Me: "Just take it"
Customer/Moron: (After about a 60 second pause) "Cheers buddddddd" Stunbles through shop and falls out door!

I used to work in an electronics store (TV,Video,DVD etc) and we actually kept a book of the funny things that people asked for:

"Do you have a small lock for a suitcase"

"Do you sell insense here"

"I'm looking for a bottle of gas"

Some people really are smack heads, can't get my head around it at all!!!!

Not the worst. A friend worked in Hennes in Birmingham and somebody did a poo in the changing room.

 

[krystal]

I know someone who had a ride in the changing rooms in Arnotts. Imagine.
