Every fucking stupid person in the world shopped at my store tonight.

[Redneck Socialist]

:nuke:

I fucking hate christmas.

[KittyWampus]

1. ever stand in front of the HUGE sign where the hours are posted and have someone ask

"when are you open to"?

[redqueen]

5. I did the equivalent before Thanksgiving.

Only with pie crusts.

[mwooldri]

28. OK, let me now blow you away. What do you think the most common question...

... at Disney World in Florida is?

It is not "Where's Mickey?"

It is not "Where's the bathroom?"

It is... wait for it...


"What time is the 3 O'Clock Parade?"


The answer isn't 3 O'Clock. It is "Where are you going to be at XXX time, because this is when the parade passes by."

Mark.

[Shell Beau]

2. But don't you want people to shop at your store?

[SammyWinstonJack]

3. !

:thumbsup:

[Redneck Socialist]

9. Well, since it's not "my" store in the sense that I don't own it...

...I'd prefer only semi-intelligent, polite people shop there. The owners however, are willing to let pretty much everyone through the doors.

[Shell Beau]

10. Well these are some hard times. What type of store is it if you don't mind me asking?

[Redneck Socialist]

12. Large national retailer

We mainly sell housewares.

99% of the customers are fine upstanding human beings, but man, that last one percent...

:crazy:

[Shell Beau]

16. I hear ya!! There are some rude ass people out there.

[TommyO]

30. Hmm, I'm guessing you're not the one currently liquidating

because of a bankruptcy.

[NNadir]

4. Well, I guess you can quit your job.

Someone else, I'm sure wants it.

[SammyWinstonJack]

6. Lots of people, probably.

[Capn Sunshine]

7. thread kilt by one blow

[Redneck Socialist]

8. Well, that's one option I suppose. n/t

[flvegan]

11. It appears you work retail of some sort.

I, for one, apologize for my fellow "people" at this time of the year.

I always do my best to treat clerks, salespeople, etc as best I can.

[Shell Beau]

13. I worked as a Christmas temp in a department store when I was in college.

People can get a little crazy. But for the most part, people were pleasant. But I am sure that had everything to do with the fact they were dealing with me! Hahahaha! :rofl: I kid, I kid.

[Redneck Socialist]

14. Well, thank you for that.

Believe me, my fellow clerks, etc. appreciate a little kindness and courtesy this time of year.

[Rhythm]

15. Is that where they went today???

They stopped by my store for cheap beer and smokes Friday night...

All of them...

Every single one of them...

*argh*

[Tektonik]

17. I've worked at Linens N Things, and now, Bristol Farms

Both are in the La Jolla/UTC area; I hate people.

I've never met so many actually crazy people in my life.

[Redneck Socialist]

18. My least favorite thing about retail is that it makes me despise humanity.

There are some really truly awful people out there. Their sense of entitlement knows no bounds.

[midnight armadillo]

20. I've heard waiting tables brings out the same reaction

Waiters, waitresses, and retail salespeople all seem to develop a rather dim view of humanity after a while.

[Shell Beau]

19. I said today that I hate people.

My husband thought that was kinda harsh. And sure it is, but it seems when people do tend to suck, they suck in massive quantities.
Don't turn into oncoming traffic you asshole when your turn signal is RED and purposely go slow and stare me down as you are slowly turning to see if I hit your pretentious ass jaguar. If I didn't have my child and husband in the car, I may not have slammed on the brakes. I would have hit your sorry ass just to prove a point. And that was just one dumbass driver out there on the road today. I think I had a "please piss me off" sticker on my car or something.

Whew! I feel better now. Wrong day to fuck with me apparently.

[Redneck Socialist]

21. LOL! Are you me? Or are we just sharing a brain?

We sure seem to think alike. :D

[Jamastiene]

24. Wow, I thought I was the only one who felt like

that today.

"Wrong day to fuck with me apparently."

It was one of those days where I felt the same way. Then the paper deliverer had the audacity to write a nasty note on my aunt's papers from the last 4 days. Now, she's pissed off too. It has not been a good day for moods anywhere, has it?

[Aristus]

22. I forget who said it, but it's my survival mantra sometimes: "I have a deep and abiding love

for humanity. It's people that I can't stand!"

[RoyGBiv]

32. Or it's derivative ...

This job would be great, if it weren't for the fucking customers. (Kevin Smith)

[Jamastiene]

23. Really? What time did Bush swing by?

Humor is good medicine from what I have heard.

Humor aside though, I'm sorry to hear you had such a crappy day. :hug:

[doc03]

25. I wasn't there n/t

[nickgutierrez]

26. There's no way you got *all* of the stupid people.

Christmas is still weeks away. You don't reach truly epic levels of stupid until the very last minute. Prepare yourself, and good luck to you.

[DarkTirade]

27. Wait... you don't work at my store, do you?

:P

[Xipe Totec]

29. I was wondering why everybody around me tonight was so wicked smart n/t

[Lucian]

31. I was stocking in Pets tonight...

and I swear to god, every fucking kid from the store had to yell at his/her mom to look at the fish. Hasn't anyone ever seen a fucking fish before? Oh, and the kids kept pounding on the glass, even though there are signs with big letters saying "Do NOT pound on glass". :eyes:

[NNadir]

34. Actually the reason people buy fish tanks has to do with the fact that they like to look at fish.

I thought everybody knew that.

I wouldn't have a fish tank, because of the cyanide problem, but that's just my opinion.

[RoyGBiv]

33. I'm sure you're wrong ...

My upstairs neighbor is, I believe, among the top five stupidest people on the planet, and he's been nailing shit to walls and vacuuming most of the day. I think he stopped for a spell and played a little game where he shoots bowling balls out of a specially modified shotgun into the floor.

So, at least you didn't get the pleasure of his company.

I feel your pain and raise a barbed-wire covered mop handle in solidarity. I worked public-contact jobs of one variety or another that always involved dealing with the horrid "holiday shopper" for nearly 20 years until last year. I do not miss that part of it at all.
