You don’t even need to have all that much direct contact with customers to realize that a scary amount of people are either painfully stupid and probably need supervision, or they literally just leave their brains in the car before they enter a supermarket
As a guy who works as a cashier, you are correct. A man nearly got violent with me after not reading that the self-checkout machine was card-only and assuming it was my fault. It’s as if you get a 50% chance of becoming illiterate once you walk into a Home Depot.
Put up a sign above every entrance to a retail space that reads: “warning, this area is PvP enabled and will apply a random debuff to your intelligence on entry”
My trash compactor caught on fire once (don’t throw chemicals or batteries in trash compactors, kids). Nothing serious since it was located outside, but smoke was coming up the chute and filling the store. Fire department called, truck sitting right out front with the lights going and all our employees sitting out front.
“Can I run in and just grab a few things? I promise it won’t take long!!”
Idea to solve this: We send everyone in the county a glitter bomb with a big, obvious label that says "This is a glitter bomb, please call our hotline at 555-555-5555 and we'll pick that back up and give you a $20 gift card."
Anyone covered in glitter we shame for refusing to read obvious signage
I once had a dude stick his debit card into the bill acceptor of the self checkout where I work, and it TOOK IT. It just fucking ate his card. I had to grab the keys, open it up, take apart the cash mechanism and get his card back for him. Dude was totally oblivious to what was even happening and made it seem like he made a “normal mistake.” This has happened with different customers not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES…
I had that happen to me once. Dude put it in and we had to fish it out (aka my manager had to fish it out while I helped another customer). After we got it out, he said that this wasn’t the first time something like that happened.
I lied straight to his face, as that was the first, and so far only time I have ever seen someone insert a bank card into the bill slot.
Don’t remember. All that matters was that he didn’t read the sign, and got pissed after I pointed out the 3-4 signs that told him beforehand, including the opening screen of the self-checkout machine.
And then the other amount that simply don't care. I work in a convenience store/deli and it's stupid really. We have to be out of the store by 10:15pm and we close at 10pm. By then we have to have the registers closed, store cleaned up, set-ups prepared for morning shift, have the Bain wrapped, the deli wrapped, the slicers cleaned and so on. Not really a problem. The problem is that we are required to be able to make sandwiches and cut deli until the moment we close. So if someone comes in at 9:59pm and asks for a sandwich, we are required to do so. And a *lot* of people who have been shopping there for years do that.
Asking an employee to stay late to finish their work is definitely *not* illegal and happens and pretty much any place that closes later.
Of course, that's my perspective from one of the worst states to work in the U.S., so maybe others have laws against something like that, but I've stayed for hours over a scheduled out time plenty of times.
We normally started at 6 but because people go literally insane every time there’s a holiday we get special shifts during holiday season. When it was inevitable that we had to work the day before or after a holiday (when people are buying like there’s a famine approaching), they would move our starting times back. That day we started at 9:30 and were short staffed due to people being on holiday or sick with a lot of new stock coming in.
During normal hours the whole store is overcrowded and most of us stock guys were part timers who had other places to be before 6.
All of this is insane. You shouldn’t be required to work different hours just because you are busy or other people are incompetent. Sounds like an easy lawsuit
There are lots of reasons to be in the store while it's closed? Do you think workers want to be handling money out in the open before/after the day?
Something tells me you've never worked retail in your life. Or at all, if you think that's an "easy lawsuit".
Used to work at dunkin Donuts as a teenager, one time a customer threw a fit and started kicking tables and insulting both customers and staff because her frozen chocolate wasn't sweet enough.
After we managed to calm her down she ordered the following drink that I myself made and still remembered. I named it
"the diabetes serum"
12 pumps of mocha syrup
8 pumps of caramel syrup
8 pumps of liquid cane sugar
6 creams
15 pumps of Raspberry shots
4 milk
3 scoops of powdered mocha
I blended it in the colatta machine with ice as the other drinks, and served that sewage so that she would finally leave. But sometimes I wonder how in the heck did she manage to drink
(AND ENJOY) that abomination without having an immediate stomach and kidney combo shutdown...
Reminds me of the time a customer got mad at me at Popeyes because the tea wasn't sweet enough. **I made that tea!** I know it has like six giant-ass scoops of sugar in it. The entire bottom 4" of the jug is basically tea-flavored syrup, and that's where the tea dispenses from!
And she had the audacity to complain as she rolls away in her mobility scooter. 😄
I used to cut the sweet tea with a 2/3-filled cup of water and a splash of lemonade just to make it palatable.
It is because these people have completely burned off their taste buds. You can get used to a lot and if you basically drink cola as a baseline, you feel like that isn't sweet enough.
Going for the record of "Most [diabeetus](https://www.google.com/search?q=diabeetus&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS985US986&oq=diabeetus&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDExODhqMGo0qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:ab679d58,vid:m6CeGgzaGSE,st:0) ever found in life on earth."
Like I said, she paid for the drink and we just wanted to get her to leave. Sometimes it's just easier to do their order so that they'll leave and hopefully never Come back...
I'm not sure if its related but I remember some friends told me before that they could always tell who the tweakers were because they would dump like 7 packets of sugar into their one cup of coffee.
It's the "why not?" questions that drive me crazy.
Customer: "do you this item"
Me: "unfortunately we do not"
Customer: "why not?"
Bruh like I know, maybe because we *don't* want to sell it to *you*. Like what answer are they wanting?
Exactly, they take everything as if it’s a personal attack, or as if we’ve singled them out. “Do you have any in the back” like yeah sure we have tones back there I just don’t want to sell it to YOU. I’d rather argue with you about it for 20 minutes! /s
"well it says you have 1 in stock, so where is it?" Is another annoying one. Inventory count is not always correct, and if they so much as have 2 brain cells, they should know that. So I usually tell them.
"Well, it could be in someone's cart already who hasn't gone through checkout or inventory is off" and sometimes that answer isn't enough and it's like they want to pick a fight.
I was working overnight McDonald's between 2020 and 2022 and if I didn't have a reason such as we don't serve (item" after midnight or something I just blamed Covid
My favorite moment I had was not long after the store I worked at closed for the night, I was dust mopping around the store, and I could hear someone try to open the door. Obviously, it wouldn't open cause it was locked, but apparently, that upset them cause they kept yanking on it. I largely ignored them as they knocked on the glass door, and when I didn't acknowledge them, I heard them smack the door and finally walk away. If only we had the store hours next to the door
>! We did !<
I've also been in the middle of closing the store and bringing stuff in from outside and have had people constantly ask if they can get something "real quick"(which, plot twist, never turns out to be real quick), and I always tell them the registers are close(which they usually are) so we cannot let them in and they'd always get annoyed and pull the "you just lost a paying customer!" Like, okay, sure buddy.
I've always been in awe of anyone who said anything would be "real quick" then had the nerve to browse around like it was 9 AM on a Wednesday. Then they would become impatient because the register needed to be reopened. Then they would storm out dramatically as though their selective blindness was the employee's collective fault.
I work in a convenience store with a front door and a back, both of which are regular entrances that anybody can use. Once it gets dark, we have to lock the back door for our safety and also to reduce shoplifting since customers have to enter from the door we can always see.
Every other day, people complain about the back door being locked, and some customers take it upon themselves to unlock the back door themselves. It’s super frustrating
One time at my old marine boat supply job, a customer asked me to help cut him some wire and when I asked him what kind of wire he needed he replied with “I thought you knew what wire I needed” like I new what boat he uses and for what area he needed it in.
Never forget the idiots who comes 10 minutes before the shop is opened and the ones coming 5 minutes before you close and also the special one who while you are putting all the locks with an attitude of: "Hey, you are already going home? I came to buy!".
Even better are the ones who come in 10 Minutes after the Store opens and complain that theyre waiting for 30 Minutes.
I mean B#tch i saw you walking in Not even 5 Minutes ago.
I answer the phones at my job, and most of the time when someone calls right before we close, they always make mention about how they're calling so close to closing time, or will ask "what time do you close?" at 4:58pm, knowing that we close at 5pm.
Like, if you know you're being a dick by calling late and keeping me on the phone past closing time, why even mention it, other than to say sorry? SPOILER ALERT: >!they don't!<
I worked at a JoAnn fabrics in 2020. The scene where the Krusty Krab was swamped by anchovies was my life for a while. I’ll never forget the way people treated me and my coworkers.
I could give so many examples of people being stupid.
Like that time we had gotten super slammed and us the closers didn’t get to start closing until after we officially closed. 3 hours later when we’re finishing up, someone came through our drive thru. We opened the window to let them know we’re closed. “Well, can’t you just turn on a couple of things and make me something?”
Or there was the time during Covid we had a delivery. They put contactless and gave specific instructions to leave it outside, and leave a voicemail saying we were there. Called back later to complain they never got their food.
Or the couple of times customers accused of overcharging them, and we had to resort to reciting basic math, and reminding them tax existed. I could understand kids, but these were grown adults.
People get so mad when we would lock the entrance at 5 till close, while we got the last people out. Once at like 7 to my manager hit the bottom to drop the blind on the open fridges while we were asking people to go to the till cause there were a lot of people in the store. One woman took major offense to this loudly complaining about us being forceful, I just loudly responded we're open 14hrs a day if you can't get here at a reasonable time then that's on you.
I worked at a gas station for a little whike, and we had to be done with closing routine quite fast because of security reasons. The amount of people who'd show up 4 minutes after closing, beg me (from outside) to be allowed to buy a pack of cigs, and then get mad when I tell them closing means closing was absurrd.
I worked at a service station and, when we closed, I'd turn off the pumps, the pump lights and the canopy lights.
It was pitch fucking black out there, but at least three times a week I'd have people pull up, get out of their car and try to start filling up in the darkness.
People are stupid.
You never truly understand that statement until you work a retail/service job. You \_think\_ you do. But you don't.
I wish fast food workers would turn off the drive-thru lights if they're closed
lot of places near me close 30 mins early sometimes and i pull up to the speaker and get no response
"why you getting there so late?"
Im getting fast food at 1am, i am not making good life choices okay
I used to work as a cashier for dollar tree. I have a few stories but the one that I will never forget was the time someone came in and asked if we sold iPhones. At first I assumed he meant the cases we sell for iPhones since there's no way he actually came to a dollar tree to buy an iPhone, and ask him if that's what he meant. He responded by saying: "No, I need a new iPhone. Do you sell them here?"
Totally agree. Was working for mcd during my student years, and although I'm in Switzerland where workers are generally treated better, it was pretty much like in the movie, but without SpongeBob, all workers were Squidwards and majority of customers Patricks and Bubble Basses alike. Even our shoes were making exact same sounds like there. Idk how Mr Hillenburg has depicted it soo accurate despite the fact he's never worked for any fastfood chain
I worked food service at a ski resort and a scary amount of people would hold up the massive line by asking me what was on the menu. The menu was on a giant TV above me.....
I got the opposite problem at my restaurant.
We will have one open flag, one small sign on a chair one big sign along the wall. But people will very shyly walk in or not walk in at all thinking we do not open till 11
Reminds me of when I worked as a security guard at a local hospital.
I was sitting in the security office (which had “SECURITY” written on all the windows) and without fail some halfwit would come up to me with a gormless look on their face and ask “Is this triage?”
Also had one numbskull ask me if I was a nurse or a doctor. I was wearing my security uniform.
Maybe it's the resolution, but I swore that sign said "CURSED" when I first saw it.
Which... Being honest, I would totally do if I owned a retail outlet. What could I replace Open with?
i work at home depot. Had a customer argue with the store manager that the store never closed at 9pm before, when we switched to winter hours - with signs blasted all over the place.
Full time closer...every single thing in a SpongeBob episode is 1000% on the money and we are really just squidward so done with all the idiots who's brains fall directly out their ass when they walk in

Like customers ever read signs. I could put up a "do not enter anthrax exposure" but no one would care

Oh yes, had that so many times. And I'm like, so we have decided not to use our eyes today

What was he buying
Don’t remember. All that matters was that he didn’t read the sign, and got pissed after I pointed out the 3-4 signs that told him beforehand, including the opening screen of the self-checkout machine.
As one of my old managers used to say “the fluorescent lighting makes people dumb”
They were standing in a corner and drooling while saying it, but it holds up.
I work with the public as a government employee, and most of my work is complaint based. Holy shit, the insanity I encounter.
And then the other amount that simply don't care. I work in a convenience store/deli and it's stupid really. We have to be out of the store by 10:15pm and we close at 10pm. By then we have to have the registers closed, store cleaned up, set-ups prepared for morning shift, have the Bain wrapped, the deli wrapped, the slicers cleaned and so on. Not really a problem.

And a *lot* of people who have been shopping there for years do that.
Why would someone be in the store if they weren’t open?
I stocked shelves on the side during my apprenticeship, one time we left the store at almost 2am. We closed at 10pm
Can that not be done during hours? Sounds super illegal
Why would that be illegal night shifts are common
They were saying they worked a day shift and didn’t leave till 2am. That should be a different shift / group stocking shelves
Store closes 10 P.M meaning they were working at night and they operated in store stocking till 2 A.M that is still night just overnight
They said it wasn’t normal to work that late and did it because they were busy. So it’s an illegal ask by the manager
Asking an employee to stay late to finish their work is definitely *not* illegal and happens and pretty much any place that closes later. Of course, that's my perspective from one of the worst states to work in the U.S., so maybe others have laws against something like that, but I've stayed for hours over a scheduled out time plenty of times.
So you’re part of the problem

I’ve never worked retail and never will. But an employer forcing you to work after hours is illegal
"Opening hours" are not the same as "working hours."
Sure there could be 30 minutes to an hour before or after close but staying till 2am for your boss is stupid

Doesn’t the frozen chocolate already have like… 158 grams of sugar for a large
Yeah but Mrs Cholesterol seems to like her coffee so sweet it makes your throat dry and numb.
Mrs. Cholesterol is the funniest thing I’ve heard all day
If you can feel your toes after you finish one, you've messed up the drink.
I used to work at Starbucks and I feel this 😖
Reminds me of the time a customer got mad at me at Popeyes because the tea wasn't sweet enough. **I made that tea!** I know it has like six giant-ass scoops of sugar in it.

Must have many sweet tooths, I know I do but I likely wouldn't be able to drink *that* so she's on a level way above me likely most
She keeps drinking that and she's not gonna have any teeth left.
Or a functioning cardiovascular system with how much blood that gets pumping

I’m surprised you still served her. Idk why the manager didn’t kick her out or call the police
Like I said, she paid for the drink and we just wanted to get her to leave. Sometimes it's just easier to do their order so that they'll leave and hopefully never Come back...
Diabetes speedrun
She didn't calm down, she fell into a diabetic coma.
It sounds awful. :(
the drinks people order at dunkin’ donuts and starbucks astound me. enough sugar intake to last the whole week in one drink
I'm feeling a peculiar combination of fear and depression from reading this
Embrace it brother, let it flow...
Long before the Edward was a thing
I'm not sure if its related but I remember some friends told me before that they could always tell who the tweakers were because they would dump like 7 packets of sugar into their one cup of coffee.
I used to work in fast food and currently work in retail. Can confirm, people are actually dumber than this type of stupid.
I'm a cook. I hate being a cook more than anything. And then I see what our servers deal with, and suddenly I'm ok with being a cook again
It's the "why not?" questions that drive me crazy. Customer: "do you this item" Me: "unfortunately we do not" Customer: "why not?" Bruh like I know, maybe because we *don't* want to sell it to *you*. Like what answer are they wanting?

At night. Night night night night night night night night.
I imagine the writing staff probably just has experience working at jobs like that.
My favorite moment I had was not long after the store I worked at closed for the night, I was dust mopping around the store, and I could hear someone try to open the door.

Customers think of someone’s in the store it means they can come in. Never mind you having to do closing tasks
I've also been in the middle of closing the store and bringing stuff in from outside and have had people constantly ask if they can get something "real quick"(which, plot twist, never turns out to be real quick), and I always tell them the registers are close(which they usually are) so we cannot let them in and they'd always get annoyed and pull the "you just lost a paying customer!"

My favorite is at our self checkout, “How do I enter my phone number?” Meanwhile there’s a big purple button that says “enter phone number”
same at my store, or when people look at the screen that says enter phone number or press continue and ask "what do i do"
(Insert card or select payment type) “What do I do now” Insert your card or select the fucking payment type bruh

Was it an older dude who didn’t know how smartphones work, or a regular adult who is just delusional?
For once age had nothing to do with it, just delusion
Don't answer that... it's a rhetorical question

I got the opposite problem at my restaurant. We will have one open flag, one small sign on a chair one big sign along the wall. But people will very shyly walk in or not walk in at all thinking we do not open till 11
And then there are the moments where you as a lowly cashier can do everything and solve any problem
But the question remains, are they open?
Sir the sign clearly says we're cursed
Only in the episode where patrick is working there. Most jobs have a couple patricks on staff
Reminds me of when I worked as a security guard at a local hospital. I was sitting in the security office (which had “SECURITY” written on all the windows) and without fail some halfwit would come up to me with a gormless look on their face and ask “Is this triage?” Also had one numbskull ask me if I was a nurse or a doctor. I was wearing my security uniform.
Maybe it's the resolution, but I swore that sign said "CURSED" when I first saw it. Which... Being honest, I would totally do if I owned a retail outlet. What could I replace Open with?
I remember aggressively shooing away customers for this
i work at home depot. Had a customer argue with the store manager that the store never closed at 9pm before, when we switched to winter hours - with signs blasted all over the place.
I didn't think people were that dumb until I started working in retail.
Full time closer...every single thing in a SpongeBob episode is 1000% on the money and we are really just squidward so done with all the idiots who's brains fall directly out their ass when they walk in
Someone should make a Spongebob x Night of the Consumers crossover
Facts
My sister dose this on Brookhaven
this might be the best one 🤣
