...which means I was doing it right the first time =/


My statement was kind of unaimed.
But I expected somone to make a harsh comeback,
an effort to see if this thread is SRS BSNS yet. :monster:

Now that I look at it, yes, it was indirect, but
I COULD get burned badly.
Ergo, I see your point :monster:

Looking back, the phrase "royal 'we'" should have been uttered by me.

Ah, missed opportunities ;.;

We have no idea what could be going on. As a side note We may be getting a job for the fall! We dearly hope we have a chance.

So yeah I had the most stressful day at work ever...

Basically three/four days ago head office of the clothing company I work at decided to do a massive clearance markdown on products then one day later after the markdowns had just been completed decided oh wait no hold on that's wrong some of the stuff has marked down, the rest on the system is the correct price, therefore no price overrides allowed on items priced lower than what they actually are.

What did that mean for me today? Arguing for 8 hours straight with customers because we're still in the process of changing prices, I can't price override products priced lower than what the computer system says because of orders from head office, running around like a headless chicken for managers to confirm this with very rude customers because managers aren't allowed to price override either and basically stressing out from trying to explain the same thing over and over again while dealing with massive queues because we were so busy and trying to re-price items at the same time.

Don't get me wrong I do feel for the customers, it sucks to think you're getting something at a very low price only to be told its actually gone up and there's nothing can be done about it but fuck it doesn't give them the right to be ignorant and rude to me about it when I'm just doing my job....I guess they never heard of the phrase; don't shoot the messenger??

I know the feeling, customers can be really beligerant and rude just because you're trying to do your job. I get untold amounts of grief when I have to deny people free glasses of water at the bar I work at. It's the bar's policy, not my policy, so it really rubs me the wrong way when these people decide to take it out on me.

I know..why is that when you mention policy they think its your policy and not the store's? The worst experience for me about 3 months ago was when a customer upset me so much that I burst into tears in front of everyone in the shop

In the five years I've worked at that place that's never once happened, usually I'm really calm about things and polite as possible with customers but this woman and her husband ganged up me only because I was trying to explain why clearance items couldn't be returned to the store once they were purchased.

Apparently I was the most ignorant, rude girl they'd ever met and I shouldn't be allowed to work in a shop where I don't know what I'm doing..yeah because working in retail is oh so hard and I plan to spend my entire life there :monster: Anyways I was stressed, in the middle of final exams at university, there was queue of 5 people behind them and covering the shop floor on my own so needless to say that I was mortified and lost it.

Yeah that all sounds pretty shit. I mean as employees we are meant to help the customers, but as soon as they start causing trouble because they want something done thats out of my power to give to them then I pretty much lose all patience with them and direct them to somebody that can be bothered to listen to their whining.

I had one guy give me a 5 minute lecture because I couldn't find any milk for him and his baby in the whole building. I ended up telling him that he shouldn't be giving me lip when he was the one that was disorganised.

What the feathers? What happened to the Chit Chat 3.0 Sophisticated Conversation and Cigar Club of TLS thread?

What happened to the activity? Is everyone else too unsophisticated to attempt posting here? :awesome:

And hello there, everyone. :monster:

I think due to the sophisticated nature of this conversation, the awesome smiley should have a top hat.

Hey, Arianna. :monster:

It's a nazi hat.

And yes we should have a posh cookie monster fgj.

It's still a hat though. Close enough. :awesome:

I agree with the posh Cookie Monster idea, by the way. How do we go about getting it?
