At the prompting of Blazee I decided to start this thread for us "Retail" workers to share stories/horrors or just gripes about the retail world. I know that Mike, Shawn and myself are Grocery store grunts but what about the rest of you?
I'll get the ball rollin...
My name is Chris and I work at Wegmans in the Grocery dept. I've been in the company a long long time.
The other day I was walking down the back isle when I spotted a woman having trouble putting a case of beer in her cart. We have these new shitty little double decker carts that big stuff just doesn't fit in. She said she was on her way up to the checkout but couldn't fit the beer in. So I offered to meet her upfront with it. Dumb bitch asks " how will you find me?". WTF am I stupid??? I just said that I will find her. I watched as she poked around a couple of isles - going right upfront my ass! I helped a buddy wheel something in the back real quick and grabed the beer making my way upfront. I found the her in line and guess what - the bitch had another case of beer balanced on her cart! Soooo, I hiked that case all the way across the store and all she did was smile at me and say that she managed after all! Let's see how she manages as I beat her over the f*ing head with the other case of beer!!! Just another reason to hate peope!
Who's next?

my biggest thing is that because of a lawsui safeway and other grocers that sell gas can`t give "loyalty" discounts on gas anymore. its not my decision to stop the program, please don`t harass me about it. I do not have the ability to change the friggging state law.what's the savings anyway?? about 1.40 per ttank full. yeah, big whoop dee doo.
another thing... LISTEN TO THE WORDS COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH. when I tell you that an item is located on aisle 15. don`t go to aisle 14 and dumbly say that you still can`t find the damn water chestnuts. I can`t wait to get off tonight!
I started calling the store manager at Redners the Ayatollah and the assistant store manager after getting stabbed in the back by her on Wednesday now just walked up to her and said it to her face.

customers in our store are so stupid and lazy. i do parcel pick up alot so when people randomly leave carts against poles or put them up on the medians it pisses me off. they waste more energy doin that than if they would walking it back to the store.
the best episode i hade with a customer was back in july or august. one of our regular customers comes into the produce department where im workin. this woman is a constant complainer and treats us like shit and we do the same in return but she keeps comin back. anyway she asks me if we have mac apples and i tell her we don't have any until september because they are a seasonal item. she says she has seen them at other stores (which i know was bs) so i took her to the department manager and he said the same. so i told her im sorry i can't help and started to go back to what i was doing. then she makes some comment like "well its like who gives a shit about the customer right". i said if i cant get them and we dont have them then what can i do? she said it would not have happened if we had a woman runnin the department. i told her to go to customer service and get a f*#$@n application. she has not bitched at me since.
Ok blazee we will try tomorrow, ill talk to the assistant store manager he can get one from her office ha.

Ha blazee we can't get a picture of her while she is there lol we tried. Anywho maybe a smaller ayatollah picture would help? It is provided above lol/
That place is a powder keg waiting to explode. The store manager today pissed off the deli manager by taking her one nightime lady transferring her to salad bar without telling her. Same type of thing happened last week to my manager.

this happened last year while I was on night crew. just wait till some lady comes in, wearing her bathrobe and hair curlers, at 5:15am and chooses a frozen turkey, and wants to know if the turkey will be ready for dinner between 2-4PM. I had to walk away because I was laughing so hard. I think I even pissed myself.
