RE: 27 Photos That Will Anger Retail Workers Every Time

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Oh our Goodwill customers are not nice! DD's friend has worked at our local GW for almost 4 years and he had some good stories. It's the ones that come in every day that are the worst. The bitch, whine, moan and groan about everything. He was afraid to go to work the day they raised prices because he knew it would be hell.

The workers at our Goodwill are not great. Every time I go to donate stuff they act as if I'm a huge imposition and really ruining their day. I thought it was a fluke the first time or two, but now I can see the annoyance on their faces whenever anyone pulls up to donate.

Must be the areas. People around here were always nice.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Most of the employees are fine at our GW. The customers that stand at the door to the back room crack me up. As soon as a cart of new stuff comes out they attack it and grab everything and throw it in their carts until they can sort through it and put everything they don't want back.

We had a great routine. We would get a new truck about twice a week. We would spend an hour putting things out before the store opened.

We also couldn't buy anything from the new shipment until it had been put on the shelf where it goes.

We had regulars come in. A lot of doctors and their wives. Had a stylist if the B52's come in once a week. He was a hoot.

There was a junk store behind us. On my break I would go back there and browse around. The owner was a large, busty older woman. she smoke filterless camels and kept a deck of cards in her bra. If you got to haggling over a price she would pull out the cards and let you draw for your price. She was just crazy enough to be fun.

I think it's just our store. Just bad staffing right now.

Mine are wonderful. As soon as I pull up, they are at the car helping me get stuff out.

Our goodwill has a good drop off department. DD's friend is the team leader back there and he's usually the one to come to the car.

Good idea! Let's see ...

Idiots who drive the wrong way down one way aisles in the parking lot.

People who leave the shopping cart in parking spots. Especially the inconsiderate turds who leave their in a handicap spot or on the crosshatch by the handicap spots. The crosshatch is there for wheelchairs, not shopping carts.

People who leave their trash on random shelves.

People who shove others aside or crawl over others to get to a product they want.

I can go on ...

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Go on lol.

People who don't move out of the way once they've finished paying for their purchase.

People who let their kids run wild.

People who hog the aisle.

People who talk on their phone when the cashier is trying to ring them up...

The thing that drives me nuts is people who take the ridey carts out to the parking lot and leave them. In the rain, cold, snow. Or they don't plug them back up after using them and it goes dead half way through the store.

People who must squeeze through the 2 inches of space between you and the shelf, wall, whatever rather than using the wide open space on the other side of you.

Yes.

And those that joyride in the carts causing people who actually need them to have to wait.

When I am shopping and someone is clearly looking and pondering an item, I back up and go around the other side. But, why is it when I am looking, I have to be the one to MOVE out of the way? Go around Lard arse!

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

If I see someone on a riding cart I usually offer help if they are sitting there pondering. Maybe they just can't reach.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

We went to our local GW yesterday. It was dirty and messy. The one closer to HHI is much nicer.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

What is it with people and public restrooms that they cannot seem to actually put the contents IN the toilet? Disgusting.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Or flush when they do make it in the toilet.

When you think about it, toilets haven't changed much. I mean, there have been upgrades for everything else in the home. Why no deluxe toilets?

Does yours have a heated seat? How about a plastic sleeve-seat cover that advances every time the toilet is flushed, so you always have a clean seat?

Built-in warm water bidet? iPod with surround sound built in?

Are you seriously still living in the Dark Ages?

Cup holder would be nice. And, maybe attached magazine rack. And, that thing that sprays your bottom with warm water would da bomb.

This. I simply go around people who are looking for something. If I need something from where they're standing, I wait till they're done.

One time, DH was getting some stuff out of one of the freezer cases and this woman demanded that he move out of her way. He said he's getting what he needs and will be done soon. She huffs and demands that he move NOW. I told her to go around if she can't wait a few seconds for him to grab what he wants. The look of death I got was quite well done :P

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Yeah. I waited MY turn. Now they can wait there turn. Sheesh.
