Post some of the stupid crazy **** that you've seen. I know theres plenty because most of our customers are dumb as hell.
The deli guy went up to the bathroom in the front of the store to take a piss. Right as soon as he opened the door some dude with his pants down was grabbing paper towels out of the dispenser. So he hobbled back to the stall with **** hanging off his ass to finish the job. The stupid front end kids never fill the toilet paper or paper towels because they're mostly worthless. The guy probably shouldn't have taken a **** without there being toilet paper anyway. Thought I'd share that
I know things have changed but I still can't handle customers constantly yaking on phones.Sometimes I end up getting embarrassed because I think they were talking to me.
That toilet paper situation recently happened at our store for 3 days straight and included the employee bathrooms to.There was'nt any of the John Wayne type to put in them because it was not ordered.No one,including me,took the initiative to get any off the shelf because the neighborhood is going downhill anyway.
People are constantly running into displays and bumping into crap, especially with the motorized carts. I think you should have to have a license to use those things. And, if someone asks me where the baby powder is one more time, Im going to scream. Its in the baby aisle you flippin' moron!
Those carts are dangerous! Some of these old people are legally blind and cant drive a car so why should they be allowed to drive a cart. Someone is gonna get hurt someday!
My favorite, and I had to do it just once while they were looking at my namebadge and they asked "Do you work here?" I replied "No, I found this namebadge in the aisle and I thought maybe (so-and-so) would reclaim his namebadge if he saw it on me". Didn't work ! They asked the question anyway. Biggest waste of money Kroger spends? Aisle markers! It always comes as a "revelation" to a customer when you look up and see the item posted and direct them to that aisle ! Makes me think they can be a District Manager or above too!
Had an old lady approach the milk doors one time. She walked up to them sideways and tried to open them with her side facing them instead of her front (sorry its hard to explain). Any way she went to grab the handle, and kinda threw her whole body into it and ended up not grabbing the handle and instead got a handful of air, and face full of tile. It was awesome! She like dove straight into the ground :) with head thumping sound effects and all. Being the good employee Iam I called a code blue right away.
We seriously have at least 1 old person fall, die, or hurt themselves in some way or another each month. I know we had some old lady die in our meat dept. She had a heart attack and smacked her head into the meat case. From what I was told there was a significant amount of blood on the floor. So should old people be allowed to leave their houses??? Because if their not dying while im trying to stock crap....Then they're wondering around the store aimlessly trying to find that product that was sold 40 years ago and has since been discontinued.
One day while I was at the u-scan trying to pay for my lunch a customer asked me if I could help her with the u-scan. Cant they tell I'm busy. I gotta eat too!!!!!!!!!!
What I think is a big waste of time(unless it's a hot babe) is the way some employees will take a customer directly to the ilse instead of just telling them the number!
Gee, my store doesn't ever get any either. Our mgt claims to order it and blames it on corporate. Must be the bigwigs are either too rich to crap or can afford to hire someone to wipe their asses with satin wipes!
We have an old store at 488. Public restrooms are up stairs and some located in the back room behind the meat department. Have had a few customers think they can drive the carts into the meat department and then thru there to the rest rooms. Had one stop half way thru the doors and get stuck trying to back out. The door is just not made wide enough for a cart to go thru let alone a lady that is wider than the cart.
sad thing is, the employees are just as fricking dumb as the customers, and lazy as hell because they are union employees!! fat, slow and borderline retards
It has been a while and something I always wanted to say but got beat to it my a package clerk that got fired. Customer was in a motorized shipping cart. It clearly states a weight limit of 300# on the cart. The Lady was pushing 500 and had the cart loaded down with everything she could get into it. The cart stoped in the middle of the store and he had to bring her another one. It worked a little better and the one she got off of started back up when he began to take it up front. She asked why it started to work again. He told her if she would loose 200# , off her fat ass then it would work because they are not made to haul fat people around all day. He was fired quickly but he did leave us with a great laugh for that day. Even the store manager that fired him thought the same thing that he told the customer.
I am a cashier and I had ringed up this one ladies things, she had one of those small baskets. after she paid for it i noticed she had an item behind the basket and it was hers. So I appologized for not seeing it and she says " well whatever this is how all my days are now", which was very rude. so i just rang it up and she goes to ask and i quote "Do you take CASH?", not lieing here, i almost fell over. i wanted to say no maim we take shells.
Being in the business long enough, and you see most everything. Seen a lady waddling up the isle and holding herself down below. You could see spots of blood, on the floor and a little coming down her leg from under her dress. Manager tried to offer to help her and she refused. A few feet from the door, and she gave birth to a 5# rump roast that she took out of a package and tried to carry out the door, between her legs.
Love it..LOVE it...LOVE IT ! A handi-cap cart with a weight limit (ya' think they would get it-that's WHY their as large as they are!) The elderly are all so pitiful and makes me scratch my head and wonder how they made it through life. It seems so simple - you go to a store, buy what you need No, REALLY! It's not in the backroom! and if so-and so has it, then go there to get it! Love the stories everyone -
Had a drunk pass out on the sidewalk in front of our store the other day, he was walking in broad daylight with a brown bag and a fifth of dark eyes. then out of nowhere plop.
