Someone posted a topic on what annoys them most from their co-workers in their workplace, so I decided to start one about the biggest pet peeves you have with the customers you deal with. Ahahah.
I'll go first. I work at CVS. I'm a Photo Supervisor, and I ring at the register almost all day. So here goes it:
1. "Hi! Do you have a Extracare card today?" "3131234567" (at super speed, making it almost impossible for me to even hit the button to open the window to type in the phone number). "Could you repeat that?" "UGH!!! (that's another peeve, the huffing and the puffing, like a three year old child) Forget it, just use yours."
2. "Your total is $4.97" "Oh okay, I'm sure I have the $0.97 in pennies and nickels in the bottom of my bag, hang on and let me fish it out instead of giving you this dollar I have sitting right here on the counter. Oh, and don't worry about the ten other people in line behind me, they'll be okay."
3. "What do you mean I can't use enough coupons to bring my $50.00 total down to a few cents? You mean buying ten Sunday papers doesn't mean I can use ten coupons for one item? Well, why are there even coupons in the paper? How am I supposed to shop for all of my nine children without coupons? Blah blah blah."
4. "It's your fault that I let my six year old son take all of my family Christmas photos and he accidentally put his slober finger all over the lens. I want my money back and I want extra money to shop and cause you more hassle."
5. *The ultimate one! : *"Well, I'm just going to go to Walgreens." Oh geez, break my heart.
6. I added this one in. When customers become furious because I won't let them charge $100 on their credit card without seeing their license. I honestly have people throw fits everytime I tell them I cannot allow them to use their credit cards without a valid license (and a valid license is not a Sam's Club card, just because it has your picture on it, omg!). I'm protecting them from fraud, and they're getting a 'tude. They also get upset when I card them for cigarettes and liquor. I have to card if you're under 30, get over it.
If you've ever worked retail, you know what I'm talking about! :)
Edited the phone number just in case it belonged to someone. RAL
