Attack Of The Customers
(Things customers have said to me today that I thought were jokes… and weren’t:)
Customer #1: “What’s this sale you have going on?” *I explain it* “Oh, but that’s not the stuff I came in for. Can you change it?”
Customer #2: “Last month this was on sale. I want that price.”
Customer #3: “I want a yellow marker.” *I ask for clarification because we have at least 20 types of markers for all different mediums* “I said yellow. That kind. Kids… can’t listen for three seconds…”
Customer #4: “Hmm… I don’t like that price. You need to change it for me. I prefer around [smaller amount].”
Customer #5: *after doing a price check* “You are really annoying me right now. I don’t like that price at all. This is so frustrating that you are telling me this.”
Customer #6: “It’s disgusting that you don’t sell groceries here. Why do you make me go to TWO stores each week?”
