I HATE Last minute holiday shoppers!
I work for a large retail chain and I am sick and fucking tired of all you idiot shoppers that want to shop two blasted days before Christmas and then bitch and moan about EVERY Godforsaken thing since the Birth of Christ!
I.E.
The lines are too long.
Your associates are too slow
I want a Playstation 2 and I decided to wait till the last minute before thinking about buying one so now I am going to harangue you for fifteen minutes because you don’t have one especially for me.
I went over my creditcard limit so now I am going to scream and spit at you and your clerk because I think it is your fault somehow goddammit!
Whadda you mean you don’t have any in the back?
There is a GIGANTIC sign that says CREDIT only in front of my checkout so after I ring up your $800 dollar order in all small items you pull out a wad of cash WHICH I CAN"T TAKE! So you yell and swear and curse until the police pepperspray you and haul your happy ass away~!
There… I feel better now. That is untill I have to go back tomorrow.
Anyone else out there sick and tired of holiday shoppers?I mean what is the deal? Is it a requirement that you check your brains with your other bags at the door?
Been there, done that. I’ve even worked for a toy store and for the children’s department of Wards for three years, and the incredible amount of stupidity and rudeness shown by many customers during this time of year is amazing.
If I could have my wish, I’d make every asshole customer spend a good solid week behind the register during peak Christmas hours.
One other thing: The stores are open extra long this time of year. Exactly why is it that you have to come in at the last minute, as the store is closing, and bitch about it, when the time is 11:00 pm?
Overall, I think everyone shopping AND working this time of year needs to realize that everyone is going to be stressed, and get over it. Common courtosy should be more important now, not less.
And another thing-don’t come in on Xmas Eve and tell me, “Gee, it’s a shame you have to work today-you shouldn’t be open!” Then, if you truly ARE sorry I’m working-WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE!!! YOU are the reason I’m working, you stupid motherfucking son of a whore!
I sure heard that Aqua, the worst are those psychotic parents, desperate for this years hot new toy, be it Furbie or Pokemon or whatever. Wanting to get one for your kid is fine. Beating a path through other shoppers with a light sabre to get to it is not. For fucks sake people just calm down.
slight hijack…
I worked in retail for way too many years. I was always amused by people who wanted me to check “in back” for more. WTF? It’s all out here, dipshit! Why the hell would we hide stuff in back? We are here to sell this crap, not hide it in back!
You and me both, babe. I did toys for 2 years, jewelry for 4 years and clothes for way too many years.
Toys are the worst. It’s not suggestive selling (as in ‘Would you like an apple pie with your Happy Meal?’) to point out that the toy needs batteries and ask if you need some batteries. The toy REQUIRES batteries to work. I was trying to help. No, it’s NOT my fault the toy doesn’t come with batteries. If you would like to complain, might I suggest calling Mattel or Fisher-Price? Bite me, NO, YOU ASSHOLE, you don’t get free batteries, just because the toy costs so much.
By the way, it’s 3 syllables: “batt-er-y”, not “batt-ry.”
You know, nothing makes me feel better than going here:

And telling people off who brag about being complete jerks to customer service people. They HATE me over there.
(No, I don’t troll-I just tell them how it really is, and they don’t like that.)
Classic Guinastasia, absoulutely classic. The first thread I read had a reply from you in it. LOL.
Did the police actually have to pepperspray someone because they wanted to pay cash???
