Random examples of customer stupidity

[Monkster]

This is just a quick one, I'll think of some more examples later as I've gotta go to work (which I'm sure will provide me with some more), anyway I work in the meat department of a supermarket, part of my job is reducing the price of products, on friday I walked past a customer who was on the phone to a friend and overheard her ask

"Hey if a steak is going for $1 does that mean it's off?"

Yes of course that's what it fucking means, we wouldn't get into trouble from the health department for deliberatly selling off meat or anything.

All I could do was shake my head and than I heard

"I've gotta go the clerk is giving me funny looks".

Well at least she realised how I felt about her stupidity.

When parents of young kids put half eaten chocolates back on the shelf and act like it's not their problem. Excuse me, it's your kid, you're problem.

And also customers that leave frozen food in the baskets under checkouts, how moronic of you to leave that 4L icecream in that basket and not tell anyone it is there so they can put it back...

asshole.

People who leave crap like bread and milk in the freezers of supermarkets. Yeah, like the people who work there are gonna put 2 litres of frozen milk back on the shelves...and like you're too fuckin lazy to do it yourself, fatass.

Expecting the guy behind the counter at the servo to have an explanation for the price of petrol, or the power to do anything about it.

I dont see it as cut and dried as that. If shops are going to cynically place products they know that kids are going to go for in spots where kids can easily get to them despite their parents best efforts then the shop shares an equal amount of responsibility for any of these products being opened by members of society who have little idea of contract law.


Having said that I dont let my kids run wild in supermarkets. Sometimes, though, it's impossible to keep tabs on all of them at once.

Especially when you're not even sure which ones are yours anyway.

Good post El Capitaine, although I'm not bagging you AE.

I get my kids a six-pack of bread rolls or a packet of premiums and open them, shutting them up for the most part. However, it's not their fault that macadamia nuts are within easy reach, delicious and worth $30pq. If I'm farting about in the F&V section they can generally down quite a few of these tasty treats without daddy getting any wiser. (They like walnuts and cashews, too.) It's a dead giveaway though in front of the grape section, esp when they give some to the 18mo, who's drooling and pointing and yelling for more.

Bah. They're dirty great organisations and their prices include a mark-up for 'shrinkage' anyway so you're just cheating yourself if you don't do it!

(Yes, I'm well aware of the arguments here so don't bother.)

I like to slap my sausages around while playing with the tender breasts and thighs :)

I'm sure you would love doing some turkey slaps too.

A software support desk is a great place to find this stupid behaviour.

I had a call once from a lady who was printing up some EOY financial stuff from the system and phoned me...

User: "My reports have stopped printing!"

Chief: "What does it say on the screen?"

User: "It says: Printer out of paper. Refill printer and click OK."

Chief: "Is the printer out of paper?"

User: "Yes."

Chief: "Put in more paper."
(Pause)
User: "Done that what next?"

Chief: "Click OK."

User: "It's printing again!"

*sound of gunshot as Chief ends it all rather than continue on in this job*
