I work in a dutch supermarket (Albert Heijn) for 7 years now, and our store is like a magnet to annoying wealthy customers that don't want to spend more the necessary (they want everything cheaper, or with discount).
So I know the situations where you have to remain calm and nice to those folks, and it is so rewarding to get a manager to confirm what you just told to a client.

Didint read whole thing but Mario FTW!ShoopDaWhoop wrote:
I've been in retail for five, almost six years, this April will mark my sixth year in retail (yay!), and I've got plenty of stories to share.. but I think I'll start out with one of my absolute favorite stories.
Electronics Boutique is such a fun place to work for. Especially when your customers don't know what the hell they're talking about.
Case in point, people who don't know what games are for what system.
Why do I say this?
I walked into my previous place of retail enjoyment in the mall in which it was situated, punched in and had a normal day until she arrived.
Mother of three or four, two of them tagging along with, and completely certian she knew what she was after was the correct item.
What was she after?
A Mario game for the X-Box. Let me say that again. A Mario (as in Super Mario Brothers) game for the X-Box.
I know what your thinking, "Mario games are for Nintendo systems.", well, when I casually explained "Mam, Mario games aren't available for the Microsoft X-Box.. I can happily show you where they're at, if you'd like." The lady looked at me as if I'd castrated her favorite animal with a rusty knife.
"What do you mean, they're not available for the X-Box?" she asked with a glare that could be mistaken for daggers directly into the heart of the retail associate. At this point I'm thinking "Oh Shit. She's dense as shit and her (more than likely) son has told her that his favorite game has come on the wrong system." I slowly, and carefully explain "Mam, Mario games are a licensed item under the Nintendo brand name, until Nintendo sells the Mario name to Microsoft, the owners of the X-Box, there will never be a Mario game on the X-Box or X-Box 360," at this point she looked at me and told me "You don't know anything about these games, my 11 year old son told me he wanted Super Mario -Whatever- for his XBox 360." I was extremely offended by this, because I've been collecting a gaming magazine since 1989, the first year of their publication, and I pride myself on being a walking encyclopedia of games, knowledge, and trivia about games. However, the wonderful world of retail's unwritten rule states that "you must remain calm at all times when dealing with customers" what it doesn't say is "you must remain calm at all times when dealing with customers, dispite how stupid they may be." Again, I casually remarked "Mam, if you'll follow me to the Nintendo section I will be happy to show you where you can find any Mario game your heart, or your son's heart so desires, maybe you'll even recognise the one he's after by the name. I can't promise you anything though," emphasis on the Nintendo portion. At this point the lady started bubbling up and looked the color of freshly billowing lava.
"Look you stupid fucking retail peon, I don't need you to show me the fucking Nintendo section, I need to know where the fuck I can find the God damn Mario XBox 360." I said "Alright mam, I'll show you where you can find all of the Xbox 360 games, and if you locate it, I'll ring you up and you can be on your way." the lady stared at me like she was looking at an on-coming train. and said "About fucking time." I slowly guided her to the X-Box 360 section and let her go about her means in her persuit of the elusive Mario 360 game.
Ten to thirty minutes later, she came up to me, and proceeded to tell me that she couldn't find it. I wonder why...
At this point I loaded up the search engine for our stock, and pulled her around when I searched for "Mario", and searched in the X-Box and X-Box 360 sections, knowing that I'd find nothing. A few seconds passed and nothing turned up. Again, I wasn't surprised. I turned to her, and I admit, probably said the wrong thing, but I said "Mam, I told you, there are no games for the X-Box systems, however if we look under all known Nintendo related systems, you can see that there are plenty to choose from, if you would like to pick from those I'm sure you could find the one you're looking for." She turned to me and screamed, about then, the manager got back from lunch and asked me what was going on, and I carefully, and quickly explained the situation. At this point, the manager carefully explained to her (again) that Mario was not available for the X-Box systems. She got extremely angry at this point, and asked for our district number, of course, being the associate who'd taken (so far) two hours with her, I happily complied and gave it to her.
She pulled out her cell (why didn't she pull it out in the first place and ask her son what system the game is for is beyond me.. and unfortunately for me I couldn't ask her to do that), and called district. District, for the third time, told her that she was SOL when trying to find a Mario X-Box game. She got so angry she threw her Motorola Razr on the ground and stormed out of the store. I quickly gathered the parts and put it behind the counter, and ten minutes later she came back for it, and screamed at both myself, and the manager that she was going to go to another store in search of the game.
I bid her a wonderful day, and wished her luck in her search.
I never saw her again, although, I will mention she tried going to another EB, which promptly called us to ask if I'd assisted her (because apparently she'd told them she'd had "horrible" service from us), and I acknowledged that I had, the associate on the other side of the phone said "Okay" with a tinge of laughter in their voice.. and hung up. Thirty minutes later they called back, and let me know that she couldn't find it in their store either, which, frankly didn't surprise either of us, but we still get a laugh out of it to this day.
Makes me wonder if she ever found it...

I've worked in petrol stations alot. One day when business was quiet I watched a lady drive in and pull up to the pump with the pump on the right hand side of the car. She got out and realised that her filler cap was on the left hand side of the car. So she got back in and did a U-turn and pulled up next to another pump... with the pump being on the right hand side of the car... she got out and lo-and-behold! the filler cap was on the other side. She threw her hands up in the air, got back in her car and did a U-turn. This time she pulled up on teh right side of the pump. I spent the whole time she was filling up out the back lmao. It was so hard to take her money without laughing.
Another time I was working in a really busy place during peak hour. 20 odd pumps and only me working, so there was a long lineup at the counter. This guy buys a pack of smokes and leaves the shop, I serve a few more customers, and about a minute later this guy comes back in. He says "My car's gone". I said "well that's not good, heres the phone you can ring the police" Obviously I was too busy to ring them for him. He says, "but someone took my car" looking at me as if I have to do something about it. Man what the fuck was I going to do? Send out a search party? Anyway it turns out that he left his keys in the ignition when he came in to buy the cigs. That guy is too stupid to own a Subaru WRX anyway.
I didnt plagiarize the story as I didnt take any credit it writing it, I just didnt credit the person who did. Why? Because then it wouldnt have been as much fun.BolvisOculus wrote:

Pollux does it ALL the time, do you really think he'd be so popular if he said it wasnt really him at the end of every post? No. Course not.

Some advice, don't say the word fags, say cigarettes. The word fags has completely changed its conotation to a homosexual. If you say I bought some fags in other countries, they would think you bought a couple of gay slaves. Just some advice.tiptopT wrote:
She'd probably fuck you! Hats off to ya mate for keeping your cool.
I had something kinda similar when i worked for Asda:
This young lass (known to be one of the Gypsys across the road) came in and asked for fags. Now she could of been 16/17 but I wasnt sure so i asked for ID to which she replied (quite nicely) "Im sorry I dont have any but I am 17 and have bought here before", I even asked if she had a N.I. card which she didnt. So I said i couldn't sell them to her because she had no proof of age.
She then went over to this older guy and said something and he stormed over and said "Why won't you sell cigarettes to my girlfriend? She has bought them in here before and shes 21..." At this point i stopped him and said "Actually she has just informed me shes only 17"... His face went white and then red and he shouted "Well i'll buy them then" and started to get money out. I replied "I'm sorry I cant sell them to you because you will give them to a minor which is illegal"
At this point they stormed out shouting and raging, I kept a smile on my face at all times cos i was "happy to help!"
Now at first i thought she was his daughter but after seeing a documentary about the gypsies I think she might of been his gf or wife :S v weird.
@OP sorry for hi-jack
EDIT: spellerings!
15 more years! 15 more years!
Ahh the fun of retail. I miss it
I used to work in a Weird little gift-shop that sold things like pipes and bongs, t-shirts and shit like that.
This kid wants a chain with a big skull with a knife through it, but the mother says, 'No that's horrible! have this nice Palm-leaf one instead.' and picks up a huge Ganja leaf one. I let her buy it.
