People are stupid, really they are....I'm not kidding. A customer asked me if we had any Ocean Spray Cranberry sauce, so I did the nice thing and checked (actually I pretended too). After a minute or so of bullsh*ting around, I was happy to say "Sorry, we are all out". After all nothing makes me more hard than the look of dissapointment on a customers face, especially during the holidays! She had a very interesting reply to me "My god you guys are out of everything, I am about to go to Farmer Jack!" Alright, what does god have to do with OceanSpray Cranberry sauce and if it is in stock or not? And if god did, who cares.....besides religious fanatics and I am certainly not one of those freak jobs. I couldn't help but to say "Oh no, your breaking my heart". It's not like I am going to care if she shops somewhere else, she is probably a Walmart communist anyway.
To all the customers who try to make me care....F*CK YOU!
Yes normally this might have been mean, not that I care if I am mean or not.....because I can admit that I am an ass. But this paticular lady I have seen in the store often, and she constantly drives me insane. She always tries to insist that we carry a product that we don't because she has "bought it here recently". She also likes to mess up my nice rack job (or lack thereof) in my department about 15 minutes before the store closes and I go home. She is also famous for spending 5 hours in the store and knocking over wine racks, I believe she is on something. Oh and her body odor makes me want to hurl.
Okay damn it why am I justifying myself....I dont care....or maybe I do...DAMN!
One of my favorite thing to do is go check for an item in the back (wink wink) and to be able tell a customer "No we don't have that, and we don't care". Especially if that customer is looking for an ice cream like Ben and Jerry's Uncanny Cashew! But the good part is watching them get all ****ed off and start b*tching about how we never have it, bla bla bla, While I say ha ha ha oh well go talk to big TK he'll take care of it, if he can see what he's doing.
i am defianlly going to have to go with Angry Tom and JEEP King on this one. those customers that insite that we have something in the back are the most annoyying people. i only wish we could punch customers. that way when they start to do that we can punch them in the face and tell them NO WE DONT!!! now remember this next time you feel the need to insite that we have something in the back!! do u want to get punched in the face again!?!? if we were allowed to do that i am sure all of those customers that insite we have something in the back would stop.
I am of the opinion that the word "insite" was not used correctly 3 out of the 3 times it was used. Call me crazy...or something
P.S. I am aware that individuals who prey upon those who lack proper english and typing skills are fools in and of themselves, yet somehow i find a certain...humor...in reading senseless statements...
I think we should look the people in the eye and say..."Meat....we dont sell meat here what do you think we are a grocery store?...we do have some fine T.V.'s for sale though."
haha customers are funny...i've had to deal w/ ppl asking me what kind of duche works best...that was interesting....but what is even funnier is that from what i hear when a certain young dairy man was working in the sanitary area of drug gm a woman asked him what kind of pads work the best! hahahahahaha i died!
and you guys said i was stupid. that 12 pack for his mom was just plain retarded. you should have done it for him though. but picked him up some O'dules. that would have sucked for him.
I thought about getting him some Root Beer and then just act dumb when he got mad, but then it figured fk it he's not worth all the effort. and a certain someone did give him a hard time with $20 in change, hehe
So do we sell water softener? Cause i didn't even know what that was and this woman asked me and i was like "umm i don't even know what that is" and then i felt stupid...Oh and on a completly different subject here but I know my gf will agree...why in the heck do costomers feel that when they are shopping (especially in aisle 11) that they should park their cart on one side of the aisle and then stand on the other side so that there is no way for ppl to get by at all...especially where there are pods??? OH THE FRUSTRATIONS!!!
bc they are retards who dont care about other people..whats with people who have to come down ur aisle when they see u are obviously working...yet dont even look to buy soemthing from ur aisle? i think they do it just to piss off the workers!!!
i think you're right....i think people enjoy pissing off the workers....it's like when those crazy ppl call and ask what's on the cover of the latest people magazine...HELLO why don't u just come in and buy it!!!!! CRAZY PEOPLE!!!!
I've actually come up with a scientific formula to explain the behavior of customers in the aisles. You see, when you're working in an aisle, the point of the aisle that you need to be at will give off a certain amount of energy. This energy attracts non-employess who, conveniently for them, are always closer to that point than you are. They then proceed to stand in that spot, basking in the energy, for what I have calculated to be, on average, 5.2845 minutes. This happens every time WITHOUT fail. I challenge anyone to disprove my formula!!!!
yes that one person who called for what was on the cover and the other lady who called to see if we had octobers version of a magazine...thats was pointless! people these days sheesh!
yes those are always funny...i usually make a snide comment like "no i wear kroger shirts for fun" if it's a teenager....good times....the ones that bug me are the ones who don't speak english...and then i just have to say i don't know where what they're looking for is ....
Don't you just ADORE when you're finally off the clock, you've taken off your name tag, are walking around with a buggy, a cellphone to your ear, and (in my case) a purse, and some customer comes up to you and asks, "Where can I find coffee?" or "Is the store manager here today?" Oh, or my favorite - a woman who asked me to do something for her, and I told her that I wasn't able to (I didn't feel like explaining that my purse, phone, car keys, lack of badge, etc. means that Kroger is not currently paying for my time), and she says, in this really nasty, rude tone, "Oh, I am so sorry. I just thought that you worked here."
No ma'm. Not when the clock stops. It's the only time I can by with blowing off a customer, and I love being able to tell them that I'm not currently on schedule, so no, I am not available to tell them where the coffee is. But, as a fellow customer, I can give them the advice that if they'd learn to read, they might be able to understand those enormous signs hanging from the ceiling over each aisle that quite plainly dictate where everything in the store ought to be, thank you very much.
I love customers like that. And even better when I'm wearing a kroger shirt, kroger name tag and kroger hat they ask" do you work here?" Hell I even had a customer ask where stuff was when I was at Wal-Mart because they recognized me from kroger. Guess they assumed I work at all the stores.
