OOOOOHHHHhhhh and you get drunk people too! That can make things more interesting lol!!

 

I imagine all of us at some time or another in our lives have worked in retail or with the public in some way.

 

I hate dealing with the public, but it makes me realise why this country is so screwed up

 

oh I understand ya. Alot of the people that are hired are clueless with a one track mind.. so used to asking "year make model" they don't realize what you need is something you don't need to look up.
My favorite are the dumbasses who don't realize a customer with a old chevy 350 does not matter what vehicle. just look up anything!!!!

 

the best is when they ask "Do you know where _____ is?" and its right next to them.

My favorite: customer asks where antifreeze is. "aisle 6, all the way in the back corner of the store" a minute later, "I can't find it."
uhhh you blind man, can't see a giant rack thats labeled in letters bigger than your head "ANTIFREEZE"

 

I work for a water restoration company and I always get asked when tearing out wet materials "do you really have to tear all that out?"... No I just like to make extra work for myself.

I also work as a DJ and my favorite question that I always get while standing on the stage by the DJ system is....Are you the DJ? NO I always just hang around on the stage.

 

I am a computer programmer and some of my users should have their putters taken away from them they are so bad. I believe you should have a License to operate a computer

 

I've never worked retail but I've heard plenty of stories from friends and others having to deal with the general public at their work. The general public is just...

I'm sure I can come up with a few, I just can't think of any specifics right now.

 

A friend of mine that has worked counter for over 25 years is just the opposite when it comes to the old 350 engines. When a customer comes in and tells him to 'look up anything' because they're all the same he brings out several choices and tells them 'take your pick, they're all the same.' For some reason the customer always seems to be able to come up with a year and model after that. Sell someone a short shaft water pump when they need a long shaft, a timing cover gasket set with the wrong crank seal, the wrong intake gasket set, etc. and then the customer will be talking about the 'stupid' things the counterperson did. Contrary to popular belief, all 350 engines are not the same, even if they are the same CID.
