Customers, Annoying, Shopping and Work: Major annoyance

Major annoyance

By E.B. - 27/06/2014 00:07 - United States - Grenada

Today, I'm a college student working at Dollar Tree. The signs hanging every 10 ft, plastered on every box, every wall, every corner, say "Everything's $1." Someone asked me how much something was, because there was no price tag. This happens multiple times a day. FML

Today, while working at a dollar store, I was clobbered by a woman because apparently, I was ripping her off by charging two dollars for two doughnuts. She didn't understand that she couldn't buy multiple items at once for one dollar. FML

Today, I work at a general store and a customer came in trying to bargain a set price of an item. The item? A 50 cent candy bar. He wanted it for 34 cents. This is not the first time he's done this. FML

Today, at work, a guy tried to buy me for a dollar. I've only been there a week and it's the third time it's happened. FML

Today, my workplace was having a "prices are down" promotion. I had to wear a badge that said, "Down and staying down" all day, opening myself up to a lot of weirdos winking at me or saying, "Oh yeah, I bet you are". FML

Today, my boss is beginning to hate me. Why? Because people keep coming to my register with one or two dollars worth of stuff, then paying for it with hundred dollar bills, ignoring the sign saying not to do that. I’ve had to ask him to refill my till after every transaction. FML

Today, a lady came into my workplace to pay her $120 bill in one dollar bills. I kept losing count. FML

Today, my mom tried to get me to shoplift. From the dollar store. FML

Today, at my retail job, a woman came to my till with her purchases. After I scanned all her items, she handed me two small bags. One was filled with nickels and dimes. The other was filled with cents. Her total was $28.53. The coins amounted to $22.30. FML

Today, I was giving a tour on campus when one of my friends approached us and said "Don't go here, the weed's too expensive." and walked away. Thinking he's coming back to say he's joking, he instead says "Just kidding, its really cheap." and walked away. I may or may not still have a job. FML

Today, I got my first job interview since the pandemic started, with Dollar Tree. The interview was going great, until I accidentally said ,"Dollar General." Safe to say I’m not getting that job. FML

I think the confusion comes from places like the Dollar General which sounds like a dollar store but isn't. Plus people don't read signs.

You need to get some flashing neon lights. Sometimes 1,000 signs hanging everywhere is just not obvious enough.

I have a friend who, literally every time we go to our local Dollar Tree, asks me if I know how much something is... No matter how many times I explain it to him, he doesn't realize everything is a dollar...

Maybe they got confused with the "unless marked differently" thing even though there was no price tag.

Well to be fair, I have seen some things at dollar tree for 50 cents, but that's rare. Otherwise everything in the store is a buck.

I completely understand! I was an assistant manager at a Dollar Tree a couple years back. Some people just aren't very bright.

I used to work at a Dollar Tree, too. I heard the same question, day in and day out. Some people are so oblivious. So glad I got out of retail.

I've actually been to couple of "dollar stores" where it claims to have everything for a dollar but when you cash out, some items are 3-4 dollars. so it doesnt hurt to ask, but i can see how annoying that must be for you to keep getting asked the same question.
