Not all customers are bad, just misunderstood. ![[Image Description: Background is several triangles in a circle like a pie alternating from hunter green, grass green, and mahogany .

let me start off by saying that this didn’t happen to me. Me and my dad clean carpets, so we get to here all of the stuff from the customers about how horrible the previous cleaners were. In this situation, we’d noticed some bleached spots in the carpet outside their kitchen, and there’s nothing we can do about it, so my dad explained that we couldn’t do anything with it. The lady we were working for told us that they had some carpet cleaners in there a few months before and they’d bleached the carpet there, and then very rudely denied doing so. Those people were really nice and they didn’t seem like the type of people to lie to cover up a mistake that they made (and they’re not the first we’ve heard about), so I can’t help but feel really bad for all the people who mistakenly hire really bad carpet cleaners.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/893a66f397152c9ed2fb1ccd0a2766ea/tumblr_mgg3gxxlaM1rzqkbpo1_400.jpg)

Top Text: “Everyone Qualifies!” Bottom Text: Not Me.]
I either have DISMAL credit, or no credit (I’m pretty sure it’s the latter of the two). So, as much as I would love to sign up for your cards, cashiers? I can’t. I am NEVER approved, not even for the store I work in.
Seriously, I don’t even get the pre-approved credit cards in the mail. I’m sorry, I know it’s a blow against your hours/paycheck. Please, stop pressuring me when I say it won’t approve me. Caving in and applying anyway is really not helping my credit.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/7a58877816f4ab745311c97d3abeb737/tumblr_mepf9iAOTt1rzqkbpo1_400.jpg)

It blew me away litterally. I’ve always behaved well towards cashiers, even before I was one and I never ever put the dang money on the counter or the belt ESPECIALLY when their hand is right there waiting for me to give the money. And it never occured to me that one day, I’d actually get the cashier to just slap the money on the counter, when I had my hand right there. AND IT FUGGIN’ HAPPENED TWO TIMES!!!](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mc651iwUt41rzqkbpo1_400.jpg)

I was at the grocery store and I had my stuff waiting to be scaned and this dude behind me is also waiting. We both have our stuff on the belt, waiting to be served and there’s the divider between our merchandise. Then this lady comes after the guy and takes the divider like she’s all alone in the store and we don’t need it. Chill out, lady! Wait your turn for christ’s sake!!](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mc0ad8bRGI1rzqkbpo1_400.jpg)

In numerous kiosks, works use “We will return in 10 minutes!” but unless I was physically there and watched them leave with a watch on my wrist, 10 minutes could have come and gone.
Why don’t they use “We will return at 2:40” clock signs?](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m94vaca9M01rzqkbpo1_400.jpg)

Very true.
Most of my co-workers and myself are the people who will go out of our way to be nice to retail workers now because we know how it is.
Oh well, bygones be bygones and all that jazz.
But that’s why this blog is here! Because there are plenty of dicks who take their bad attitude everywhere, ‘specially on the job.
-C
whoa hey now.
Bro, speaking as not only a customer, but a retail worker whom works 25+ hours a week, you know this is not true.
Most of them are (not the smartest all the time) but still just in there wanting to do their business and get out.
Just smile and wince to yourself. That’s what I have to do anymore.
When I was younger I used to buy all my video games from walmart. Sometimes I would come in looking for a specific game, and since I was pretty much on my own in the store I might ask one of the employees if they had the one I was looking for. This was the answer I got every single time. Like, I can understand “I don’t know”, but this? What were they expecting? “Yeah, actually I did see it. I was just testing you.”

Top Text: “SECURITY TAG NOT TAKEN OFF”
Bottom Text: “CASHIER CUTS HOLE IN SHIRT”
I was shopping at Aeropostale on Black Friday, and since no alarms had gone off I didn’t realize until I got home that the security tags had not been taken off. I had gone to a mall that was not the closest to my home, and understood that being so busy the cashier simply forgot to take it off.
I went to a mall closer to my house a few days later and asked the cashier to remove the security tag for me. Rather than explaining that I should go to a different location because she did not have the equipment necessary to remove the tag, she used a pair of scissors in the back to cut it off, leaving a giant hole in the back of the shirt. Her words to me were “I did my best.” I was so stunned I just walked out of the store without complaining.
