Sure, but don't get shitting once the operator realises the mistake and goes back to scan it.

Looks like some shops are taking a stand against rude customers! Congrats to this Baker's Delight for putting up a sign saying not to talk on your phone whilst being served

The article: Bakers Delight Cronulla bans shoppers on mobile phone | The Daily Telegraph
and analysis... Sam Hansen&squo;s refusal to service customers on mobile phone | The Daily Telegraph
A newsagent near my house has done the same thing, their signs say "if you are on your mobile phone, we will be polite enough not to interrupt."

Man, I wish we had those signs at Target. Rude pricks.

Yep, I wish woolworths had that as well.

As well as a sign that says "no refunds on smoking related products or mobile phone credit". It would prevent a lot of arguments.

Lol, I asked someone at woolies once where something was and saw him check that laminated sheet at the end of the row. You guys can't be expected to know everything... so anywho, now I don't have to bother anyone and just look at the 'cheat sheet' myself. ;)
lol so true. don't customerz realize that us checkout people dont know where every single item is in the store...especially some 17 year old kid whose been in the job for a few months. which reminds me of a story i overheard in the tea room. at my store we employ this guy whos mentally handicapped, and he is responsible for collecting baskets on weekends. once, a customer asked him if he knew where something was and his response was "No!" and just stormed off. The customer was quite angry and i had the task of apologizing

My pet hate at Woolworths (I'm in nightfill) is when a customer asks where something basic is such as soft drink or sugar. It is on top of the aisle in big white letters ffs. At least use your brain and read up there first! The amount of times I have wanted to point to the sign and say 'please look up before you waste my time'...

Me too. The people who will squabble about a couple of the dollars are the ones who will pay wou with a wad of $100s or their Super Gold Platinum AMEX and the ones who just let it slide are usually the ones who scrounge around to try and find change in their wallet.
I hate to burst your bubble but its the exact opposite here at Cranbourne. The bogans are the really shit customers, ecspecially in SS (they have no patience) and its usually the people with some class and dignity that are willing to listen and converse in a...normal manner without the need to say eff this eff that.

When I say "Hey how you going" as you're browsing, don't freak out like I'm about to force you to buy stuff...I'm just being friendly...seriously...

When I want to put clothing back for you, I REALLY DO! Why? Because you'll put it in the wrong spot which means I'll have to resize the whole rack again and on the hanger wrong so I'll have to rehang it. Trust me, it's not that much trouble for me, thanks for the good intentions but you're creating more work for me heh. At least you didn't leave it all over the floor in the change room like some other losers.

Is it bad to leave clothes just randomly lying around the store? Not on the floor, but sought of draped over other racks of clothers?

Dear Customer,

I do not decide what products are sold at Bakers Delight, nor do I set the price. I'm sorry if our breadsticks are too short or too expensive, but if you don't like it DONT BUY THE PRODUCT. AND NO I DONT CARE WHAT THE BREADSTICKS IN FUCKING PARIS ARE LIKE.

Yours sincerely, Disgruntled Customer Service Poster #44392


Although I have to say the customers at BD are generally quite well behaved.

If you don't like self-service don't use it retards

If you are in a hurry just go it's your own fault for not having better time management skills, don't complain to me that the machine isn't going any faster. If you want faster registers donate some money to the company they'll be happy to upgrade them for you, if not stfu

Don't complain about self-serve being ineffective when it's you that is using it ineffectively, when I tell you to leave it in the bagging area LEAVE IT IN THE BAGGING AREA don't take it out then complain to me that it is isn't working I'm not going ot help you if you don't listen to me

If you think something's bad value, don't buy it. The amount of people who complain that they don't get enough mac/chicken sauce is ridiculous

yessssssss exactly

Um also related to the above, if you are completely computer illiterate do not sign up for an online service until you have rectified this. I cannot hope to explain something as utterly complex as the concept of "log in" when you are baffled and angered by something as simple as finding the "ON" button on your computer.

  • If you're talking on the phone, im going to talk louder so its impossible for you to have your conversation.
  • if you're going to get the shits and be stingy about a price of a product atleast make sure the price label is for the right product.
  • Im not your slave, get the cases of beer from the Self Serve coolroom yourself.
These occur atleast once on a daily basis while im working...

I just hate customers. I wish no stores ever had them - they're all selfish and never care about the fact that none of us waiters/waitresses don't care what you think/do/whether you're going to eat here or not/or whether you'll ever come back. In fact I'd rather you don't come back because seriously to clean up your pile of leftovers is utterly disgusting that I want to make you eat my dog's puke.

Had this lady who made me really pissed off. She had like all these greenbags in her trolley and didn't want me to pack in them, thats fine by me. But then she wanted me to pack her 50 or so bottles of coke, fine by me. But she wanted me to pack every single 1.25L coke in a big bag by itself even after i insisted that each big bag can easily carry 3, or at least 2 cokes without breaking, but she insisted that i pack them in the big bags. Stupid bitch is trying to kill the planet.
Rule: Dont waste bags bitch, let me pack them they way i have been trained to.

Rules for Coles:

Yes, the trolleys might be too big, yes they have designed the checkouts too close together so that your fucking double 2X4 pram won't fit through, yes we have boring music on over the store, and yes, we sell kiddies play guns in the childs section (some woman actually had a massive freak out over this to me). But you know what. I DON'T CARE. My supervisors can't change the architecture, stock list or the trolleys. Which brings me to rule number
1) IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A COMPLAINT... MAKE IT TO THE MANAGER. Not to me, the casual service girl who is at work 4-12 hours a week who has never even met the manager, but to the person who makes the decisions.

I don't make the prices. Bi-Lo is just down the hall. In fact, we are in a mall surrounded by other more specialised shops, feel free to go and look there for your items. 2) BUT do not, under ANY circumstances, feel the need to buy something and complain about it, or make the cliched comment about how "fast" things add up. I KNOW it is over priced but sometimes you have to learn when to stop whining about it. And yes, Limes do go up in price, they aren't just at a set price for the entire year!

3) Do not assume that this is either a) My full-time job, b) My life calling or c) Anything other than a casual position. I DO NOT want to climb up the ranks, turn it into a career or any of the kind. I am here for my fourteen bucks an hour, and my occasional bonuses.

4) Clean your hands before giving me change. I do not appreciate being touched, even accidentally, by dirty people. It creeps me out.

5) Don't tell ME that there has been a spillage in an aisle. If it is busy, my supervisor won't pick up the line. Tell someone on stock... or at least don't get shirty when I say that it may take me a few minutes to notify someone.

Hopefully I didn't repeat any :), I agree with most of the ones that have been said already! Work today was exhausting. And some old man made me read his thirty year old postcard. :S. No joke, it was some old crumbling piece of card and he told me it was 36y.o :S
