Working retail for the first time at 54-yo, had almost no dumbass customers like this. Did have one call that said they'd go to Home Depot because we don't have a grass expert on staff. Well shit, I'm sure Home Depot's garden department is way sharper than my 35-years of growing plants. LOL, none of my coworkers know what a lilly looks like, should have got one of them on the phone.

One old guy threatened a coworker, I think he hit him? This guy was ancient, I'm putting it down to dementia or the like. You'd have to be demented to think your 80-ass is going to take a fit 20-yo man.

I did get some mistreatment working McDonald's at 16, but much of that was my dumb ass not knowing any better. And my dumb ass ex-Marine manager. Jesus, trying to boss kids around like we're in the military, for $3.34/hr.

Know what makes me jealous? I work in a nice Lowe's in a nicer town (for the area). Might get a tip every other day, always grateful and surprised. Over at the more ghetto store, some of those dudes clock $100+ a shift. Goes to show, the more monied conservatives over here are cocksuckers compared to the poorer Democrats next door. And it's always the people I did very little for. Motherfucker wants 1,500 pounds of rock hand-loaded? Nah.

Y'all love this one! Dude pulls up in a Tesla. "Hey! What are you picking up?" He silently hands "the help" his receipt. ONE bag of mulch. No one before or since has been pussy enough to ask for help with a single bag. (And no one has ever bought a single bag.)

In the US you help people load stuff? I don't think I have ever seen employees help someone load stuff here in Germany, apart from when someone bought a whole garden house or other stuff that isn't on the shelves in the first place, but in the warehouse in the back, so they had to bring it out anyway.

I think some employees probably help if they feel like it, but only when you are nice. If you asked them to load a bag of mulch they would probably just say "good luck with loading it yourselves" πŸ˜‚

Customer service rep - idc.

Customer- stops frequenting the store.

Boss - "Welp, we're through, you're fired."

Between people boycotting certain brick and mortars for political reasons and the monopoly that is Amazon, there are not a lot of options.

ok, but how? (emotionally)

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

You'd be surprised. I've had people absolutely not listening to me in the past. It's not overly common, but definitely not unheard of.

People will literally get in my car expecting that I teach them to park then take them for their driving test after just a few lessons.
