silent's Grievances

Do I look like I work here?

Though it’s technically wrong, I was in another store, kneeling on the floor comparing two different products when one woman walks up to me and begins quizing me upon the products because she ‘cant see the one she needs’, if the fact I wasn’t wearing that store’s bright green uniform didn’t clue her in to […]

I didn’t get my tokens..

One thursday night, on the run up to Christmas (we stayed open late on Thursdays) an old lady came into store and was served by one of my colleagues, now he’s the politest guy you could meet, now, this old lady buys some of our gift vouchers, my colleague, being the nice guy he is, […]

More customer miscalculations..

A customer walks up to my till, hands me a product retailing at £4.99, now the customer (in an attempt to be “cool”) slides a 50p piece across to me, to my reply of “right, I’ll need another £4.49″ the customer tapped the 50p, three seconds later he went bright red and realised it wasn’t […]
