To people that come in two minutes b4 close

[Prissypants]

Seriously...eat it.

That's all.

[Toxxin Ephekt]

I feel ya.....so fucking annoying

[Gusto]

i used to hate that too. especially when you're working in the kitchen and have already put everything away for the night and shut everything down. so annoying.

[nabs]

I still hate that, when i help my uncle at his restaurant. its BS.

[Disco_Whore]

Ugh, you're all excited to leave...and then realise you'll be stuck at work (with nothing to do) for an extra hour or so. I hate these people!

[~lazee_grrl~]

i hated that when working retail or at a restaurant..
when i start closing the door..i means "closed"..
not "run in as fast as u can"

[scue]

Ehh I feel ya.. it sucks at any fastfood joint where you get all your shit cleaned up, all your meat/ingredients packed up and grill washed, assuming nobody will want to get anything before you close.. then it takes you 10 minutes to finish one drive thru order..

[ja_raul]

doesnt this happen often in teh food industry?

[clearist]

does it ever... when i worked at mcdicks... *waits for laughing to cease* .. people would do it all the time. Then when i wasnt working i would go in 1 minute before close on purpose. They loved that. Especially because i was a manager and i didnt have to pay for my shit! haha.

[justa~gurl]

^whatever man, i think at least half the population has worked there..



i was just going to make a post about this! a couple days ago a group of like 20 people came in who were around my age... basically everything was put away and turned off.. they ask "are there any jo's?" we say "no, everything is turned off and put away" them " could you make some?" "no, everything is turned off and put away" them "could you make a tuna sandwhich?" us "sure" them: "could you make it like, a tuna melt? and melt cheese over it? " us: "no, everything is turned off and put away"

like a billion moronic questions that all have the same answer! then they buy other stuff and sit on all the counters like dis-respectful fuckers! and sit there and eat... god makes me so mad

then tonight i just finished taking the decorations off the pasta salads and wrapping them up for the night and a lady comes in and asks for potato salad.. annoyed, i got it..whatever, it's my job... then asks for some italian poppy seed.. then she's like "uumm.. what is this salad (the poppy seed) i'm like well the name is right on the front there, it's italian poppy seed" her:"yeah, but whats in it? what kind of sauce? " me:"italian" .. anyways.. i get her some of that and package it up for her and she asks how much it is... i tell her it's 3whatever and 4whatever... then she makes this stupid face and is like "oh! thats expensive!" and she gets all attitudey cause it's
"too expensive" and stands there and thinks about weither or not shes going to get it..

fuck lady! grrraaaa get it or get the hell out


anyways.. thast my long rant..

[mindgurl]

jerks

especially at xmas time

[Liqwid]

ugh, and they mess up a pile of clothes....

[miss.myra]

I loved it when they rolled into off the wall, unfolded everything you'd just spent hours perfecting AND THEN DIDN'T BUY SHIT.

[mindgurl]

:|

I CANT HANDLE THAT

it's always the hardest thing to fold too. as soon as i see them enter i want to run up and be like "hi there, dont touch please"

[miss.myra]

Once I was in la senza like 30 mins before closing and this one woman WENT OFF at some customer who was trying to thumb through a table of perfectly organized thongs..it was hilarity, like the woman working there was crazy but i totally saw where she was coming from.

[mindgurl]

hahah

i go running to the jean wall

LET ME GET YOUR SIZE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[~lazee_grrl~]

^panty tables are the WORST EVER...

[Prissypants]

The worst is that we always circle on the contracts when we close and not only that but each transaction takes about 15min minimum so when 4 people walk in two minutes before close after the day has been dead, you get a little bit annoyed to say the least...

[-evil-duerr-]

Ya, they come in like 2 minutes till closing...... THEN they take their sweeeet ass time shopping around after the store is closed..
GET THE FUCK OUT MY STORE FOOL!

reminds me of that old Belushi skit on SNL
"THE THING THAT WOULDNT LEAVE!!!!"

[yoko*]

Wow, I read the thread title COMPLETELY wrong.. heh heh.

I hear ya, I hate it when there's lots that needs to be done, so little time and the store needs to be closed... and then JUST as you are closing the gates (the store has electronic gates that lower with the turn of a key) someone RUNS under the gates, all the while KNOWing that you are just about to close.

Now that I work in a mall it's not so bad, but when I worked at the robson aritzia it was their policy to not ask a customer to leave until they were done shopping. We all once waited an hour after close just cause these assholes were so inconsiderate of the fact that the rest of us needed to get the f home and it was already midnight.

At the same time, when I'm having a rough day in store sales I welcome the last few customers who are last minute shopping and pray that they buy something. I've even kept the gates open for a few extra 20 minutes after mall close before :P

It's like that at the Metro Toys R Us. We have the "let the customer finish" policy.

This one time, some inconsiderate customer came into my section 2 minutes past closing. W/E, look around and leave. After a while, she came back to me:

"Do you have this?" "Do you have that?"

bla bla bla

Then, she needed to make sure that the game she was getting was the actual game, so she tried to call her son or nephew or whatever to confirm. Now, my section is notorious for having bad reception, but the lady couldn't figure that out. Se we're both standing there, she's sitting there waiting for reception. I ask her maybe she should step out for a while and call, but she says "oh I got reception here earlier" when it takes less than 2 seconds to step out. Later on her boyfriend comes in, looking pissed too. All the while I'm ringing her through she's going "oh my gosh I've kept this guy past closing hahaha" to her boyfriend thinking it's the funniest thing in the world. She's probably going to go to all her stupid bimbo friends and share her shitty shopping adventure and how she kept some random inside Toys R Us well past closing. That lady can eat my shit.

Started cleaning up late. Finished late. Hooray for shitheads.

My rant for the month. Go Christmas.

Also, lately, the manager has been keeping the store open past our posted closing time, to meet quotas or whatever. Dark times loom ahead.

Welcome to retail kids... that's just how it goes. You want to avoid this? Get a job that doesn't have you dealing with the public. People are asses, especially when it comes to dealing with them in a retail situation.

[mindgurl]

haha when i worked in a small toy store, we used to get the vacuum out at 8pm when we closed, people would get the hint pretty quick LOL

Uh I've had to stay after hours to do things in jobs that didn't involve dealing with the public.
