For those regular shoppers-or those who work in retail such as I-LIST SOME! Here is one today... (Inside Dungeon crawl in the city-which seels imported games at just below rrp price) Customer-Do you sell ds flash cards? ...I know it's not much-but in the city of Melbourne-you can't even look at that stuff-only around outer suburbs or markets where cops are busy handing out parking tickets-besides what moron would sell real games AND flash carts-would would potentially lose sales? Here is a BETTER example from my kfc years... Customer-I want a large zinger meal, not spicy, and no ice in my coke... Me-(points to fridge with bottled pepsi) we only sell pepsi, they don't have ice-AND I believe you want the the fillit burger? Customer-No I don't eat fish. Me-let me rephrase that-the CHICKEN fillet burger-same thing but NOT spicy-and it's been around several years longer than the zinger. (After sale process has completed) Me-I'm guessing it's your first time in fast food-that's a good thing I believe ( ) OR this fine example of repeated stupidity... Customer-I want a can of pepsi, not cold Me-They only come cold-they are always stored in our fridges before sale-prehaps you can leave them on your car for awhile so they heat up to room temperature? (Bear in mind-this guy came in once every week and asked for the same thing-and 4 years of not seeing him-he worked for us-big mistake-total idiot who hammed up sales with an essentric sales pitch-and because he had an accent-even harder to understand-customers and fellow co-workers-and those of the same nationality-simplified thier speech-he never did ) So post stupid retail questions (Thanks loony for moving this-wasn't sure is all )
I've had people ask me to refill their prescriptions and ask me medical questions. I work in a photo lab.
"do you work here?" when you're in a store uniform with the store name in big ass letters on your blouse...
"Can I have a normal Mcdonalds please?" (back when I worked in Mcdonalds) o_____O wtf is a "normal" Mcdonalds?
(video store) Kid-dad ps2's can't play ps3 games!!! Dad-What ever Attendant-He is right Dad-I'm renting a ps3 as well-AH FORGET IT Guess he realised they don't rent ps3's... ...Guess he just want's a quater pounder meal-no upgrades or anything like that... When your in fast food-you get ALOT of people asking for stuff like that... (KFC) Obviously first timer in country-Do you have fish burger? Me-no we only have chicken-unless you want the chicken "fillet" burger First timer-Do you have fish? Me-...no only chicken First timer-...can you cook fish? Co-worker-NO WE ONLY HAVE CHICKEN HERE!!! First timer-...ooohh ok After that he always ordered a 2 piece feed-he became one of our good regulars and we gave him discount each time-not that I ever gave him it-only served him that one time.
When I was out with my friends at a restaurant, I saw a guy dating a girl next to our table: Guy- I'll have the usual. Waiter- *Blank Face* ...Ok. The thing is that the guy was there for the first time and was just trying to impress the girl. We saw the waiter's face and we we're all like: Us-*Laughing* GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! *Making girly hand gestures while talking* Ooooo~, I'll have the usual! PPPPFFFTTT GAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!
I had a few of those... I tell them "sir I have no idea who you are, but if your after a mind reader, try in the city somewhere". Or if they are a regular I just tell them "I haven't served you enough to know exactly what you always have-can you please re-inform me". That's my signal to my co workers-"who knows this jackass?" They know because they work the same shifts-I was the bosse's work slave-thrown about just to make store ends meet... I miss working there...but I lothed the customers...especially on week ends...da food fights...I start cleaning right in the middle just to freak them out... Idiot-Hay can I have that chip I just dropped? (chip sits in dirt) Me-You mean this (shoves in face) They always leave...though I prefer using the brave managers...the bogans... "GET THE F*** OUTTA HERE YA S*** OR I'M GONNA F***ING CALL THE COPS OR ELSE I'LL BEAT THE LIVING S*** OUTTA YA!!!" When you work on the freeway, balls of steel are required-and it's mostly the gals who had them ???
Cdrking- Customer: Do you sell bluetooth dongles here? Staff: Yes we do sir after looking at the bluetooth dongles, different colors and sizes. Customer: are their any other colors for bluetooths except for blue? Staff: yes we do sir, but we dont call it bluetooth, we call it infrared. the funny part was with the face of the customer, he looks very serious in asking about the other bluetooth color aside from blue
If he meant device colour, I would have walked up to the clerk and said "yo he means device colour, not a freaking different beam colour!" Lol, hay let's add dumb clerks to the list eh? What can I use from experience... KFC-Hi what would you like? Me-just a 3pk of wicked wings thanks-nothing else KFC-would you like to upsize? Me-(Facepalms) No JUST the wicked wings-you been working long...customer service leader? (In aus kfc-you only get those when your near managment level in terms of customer service-that mistake is a trainee mistake-while I never got the rank myself-it's because when I asked to rank up-they told me they were getting rid of that rank )
me buying something from the store customer comes in do you work here me: no customer: do you know where the hardware asile is me: i don't know customer: can you take me there me: i said i don't know where it is customer: watch your tone mr. i want to talk to your manager me: i said i dont work here then i walked out
