Work and Language: Kinda rude

Kinda rude

By Anonymous - 29/10/2009 20:38 - United States

Today, I work as a cashier, and as always, I asked the customer paying credit to sign the "sheet" of paper. I received a dirty look from one woman who apparently talked to the manager about me, saying I had asked her to sign the "shitty" paper. I have now been warned for "derogatory language." FML

Today, at work, we had an extremely rude customer who started cussing at us, and my coworker started cussing back. I jumped on the register to quickly bring down the line, and apologized to everyone for the scene. A secret shopper was in the line and claimed that I was rude. I got written up. FML

Today, at the store, I didn't hear the cashier when she asked if I had a loyalty card. She took one look at my naturally bitchy-looking face and muttered "It's my JOB to ask, jeez." FML

Today, at my cashier job, I got written up for accepting obviously photocopied coupons. Last week, I got written up for "inadequate customer service" because I refused to accept the same bogus coupons from the same customer. FML

Today, a customer gave me the dirtiest look ever and muttered, "Goody two-shoes prick" after I asked if he'd like to donate a few cents to charity. FML

Today, my boss gave me a warning for "insulting our best customer" after she saw a comment on her customer card saying "stop giving this fat bitch free samples." My boss had written it in the first place, but refuses to either remember or admit it. FML

Today, I had a formal complaint filed against me for being outrageously rude to a customer. All I did was tell a customer that she couldn't use food stamps at the movie theater. FML

Today, I placed an order at a fast food joint, when the elderly lady behind me cussed me out for ordering the same thing she wanted. She ranted that I was a "dirty thief", while everyone else glared at me as if I was holding up the line. What the fuck? FML

Today, while checking out a couple at work, I handed them their receipt and wished them a good day. The woman promptly pulled her husband to the side, and whispered to him about how much of a "fucking idiot" I was for making the prices so high. I work at McDonald's. FML

Next time, ask her to sign the "penis paper." When the manager asks, say you said "piece of paper."

Did anyone else immediately think of the City Wok guy from South Park when they read this?

I've worked in retail. A lot of them. People complain about EVERYTHING, from word choice to employee appearance - hair, nails, clothes, perfume - to not liking the music to misreading the signs to wanting free stuff.

I always just say "Could I get you to sign this for me?" That being said, some customers are just complete jackasses who want to complain. I've been written up a couple times at my job - some deserved, some not. My general manager doesn't care, as I'm the best worker he's got up front (being a college kid amongst a bunch of high schoolers will do that). This really isn't an FML so much as a "customers suck" story. Now, if you had gotten fired over it, that may be different.

_________Hell: Lack of Reason_________ I'm surprised they didn't fire you. This lack of humanity and reason is typical and exactly why employees are never loyal to the company. This is why the movie "Office Space" resonates with any working stiff.

Same happened to me at pacsun a few weeks back. Someone was asking about stock to which i replied, "we just get random shipment in, we never know exactly." They didnt hear that, all they heard was, ".. we get random shit in.." since they laughed and told me thats what they thought i said.
