some old people can be soo rude though and think the sun shines out of their arse
i had an old lady try and use her keno card as ID in order to shop on her account. when i told her no, i got this lecture about how she was getting flustered, and it's not good when an old lady gets flusted, lol.

i think she might have been slightly more flustered if she got a bill with thousands of dollars of stuff on it she never bought.

Picture an entire shelf filled to the brim with christmas hams...
'Ah, this ham doesn't have a price on it...'
'Well, I cannot price it myself, but I could get another one for you...'
'No, we want this one.'

After a manager has priced the ham...
'Sorry about that, I did ask whether he would like another ham that did have a price...'
'What an idiot, a shelf full of ham and he happens to want a price for one of the poorest half-legs available. I don't know why they all do that. Is it that hard to pick up an item with a price, let alone one that is worth buying?'

Annoying.

That happened to me so many times tonight. I'd ask, they'd look around their purse and say "No, don't worry about it". Then at the end of the sale "Oh, here! I found it. Can you put it on please."

NO. FUCK OFF.

LOL at my store the manager made an announcement telling customers that tonight we were taking 50% off all christmas lights and decorations. Some woman comes up to me and says "Im a linguistics teacher and I was listening very carefuly to the exact words of the previous announcement about taking 50% off the marked price of all Christmas Stock, and the words she said mean that I should get 50% off after I get the 50% off from the signs that is marked on the shelf"

I tried explaining to her that she knew what they meant and that it is half price based on the original price. She started yelling at me and then started yelling at the manager. Her words to the manager [whom she didnt know was the manager] was "Well tell that stupid fool who made the announcement to learn to speak english" to which our manager replied "Hi there!, Im that stupid fool."

stupid fucking bitch of a customer.

At pharmacy...
- 'Oh, I've been here a couple of years ago, my medicare information is on the system.' We have to ask, it's the law, deal with it.

Fast food...
- Five minutes after ordering 'Oh, actually, could I make that a meal instead of just a burger?'
- Talking on your mobile while I'm trying to take your order
- Bitching about waiting 5 minutes for your food when I've TOLD you we make burgers fresh so it will be 4-5 minutes

Had some stupid cow come in the other day and order 8 meals without taking a breath. When I tried to say it back to her, she changed her mind, rolled her eyes and muttered about incompetance. Got the manager to do it, was a bitch to her as well.

... then half an hour later her adult son comes and says we've 'shortchanged' him a large burger. I'm almost 100% certain we got the order right but even if we didn't - what, it took you HALF AN HOUR to notice?!

The same thing as the cunting lady who paid for a 680 dollar Dvd on her eftpos card, suddenly finds her David Jones card and asks me to put it on that. Fark getting authorisation for a $680 return means I have to find the floor manager who wasn't in that day, so I had to wait to call him in, which took 3 hours, in the meantime the dumb bitch gets snotty at me. I asked her when she was buying if she wanted that on her DJ's card and she just ignored me. Dumbass customers.

I also find the customers who buy a million different things and then ask me to take the price stickers off them, when there are a billion people waiting in the line annoying.
