I do a lot of miscellaneous little jobs in a specialty reptile shop, but I primarily run the register. We’re also pretty lenient on dress code (nothing offensive, revealing, gang-related, etc etc…). I get it, the pink and turquoise hair and the raver kandi and all the bright colors can be a little bit disorienting at first (a few of my coworkers have actually taken to calling me “rainbow brite” or just “rainbow” every now and again), but honestly, if you ask me if I work there after I get through ringing someone up, I will not hesitate to judge you.

If you work at a counter, 60% of customers will not listen to a word you say and will virtually view you as an inconvenience. Tip: Don’t work at the counter if you have self esteem problems!

Seriously. A guy told me to say this to my manager after I “didn’t bother” to give him a quote, which I’m not supposed to do over the phone. So I told my manager, and we both had a good laugh about how some people are total douches.

I cannot even begin to describe some of these people. It wants me to bag item? Tries to scan next item anyway.

I was working on a website and needed some text material from the client so I asked her to send me the texts. A couple of days later I get a letter in the mail containing hand-written text.

Me: Thanks for the text material, but I’d appreciate if you could send me the texts in digital format as agreed. 

Client: Oh, OK! I’ll do it right away.

Me: Great, thanks!

The day after she sent me the same texts, only now written on a typewriter, by fax.

Seriously…have most people never gone shopping before? This question is asked WAY too much!

My fellow Kmart Robins will know what I’m talking about. They play some of the worst music EVER…and you’re stuck having to listen to it for an 8 hour shift. Kill me.

I was at the airport, ready to leave for vacation when I got a panicked phone call from a client. She stated that the video I sent her - part of a large marketing campaign - was missing the sound. After a lot of shouting and threats on her part, I agreed to go to her office try and fix it. 

After being escorted into her office, I played the video and double-checked her computer’s sound options. Then I unplugged her headphones. Then I billed her for my missed flight.

As much as I appreciate you telling me, it doesn’t help.
