What’s Irritating the Sh*t out of me! - Page 7

jester · 11-29-2007, 05:32 PM

I'm very patient with people around me, while at the stores (on the outside of course), however on the inside I feel like my head is going to explode. Because of their arrogance, in believing that they are the only shopper.

I will say this, the day before Thanksgiving, I was at the store and was in need of something and didn’t see it – there was a stock person there filling the shelves and I asked him if they had any of it and he said no. We chatted for a few minutes about the shoppers, etc. Anyway, so I left and continued shopping. About 10 minutes later, I hear this “Ma’am”, “Ma’am” – I turn around and there’s the guy with two bags of the chopped broccoli. Needless to say, I was touched. I appreciated the effort he went to and told him so. Maybe because I was nice to him in the beginning rather than being a bitch he helped me out.

I find that's really important at work, too. I deal with a lot of court clerks and other staff members. When I get really good service, I make it a point to thank them, either in writing (where it can go in their personnel file); or thanking their supervisor.

I had a severe eye twitch that lasted for several weeks earlier this year. My solution was to take time off from work and minimize my stress. It seemed to help.

Jester that was me as a shelf stacker.
I dreamed of being mystery shopped (you got £100 - $200! - bonus for a score of 90% and above)

The customers still wound me up, but in general I treated them as we were taught in our induction. It's only since going back to the same chain that I realise I was in the minority!

I am always courteous to other shoppers (except in ma heid). I am hyper-aware of who is coming through, who is slowing down, who is stopping in front of me. That's why I hate te new trend of skates in kids' trainers. You are aware of everything around you and the pace it is moving - then there's an elbow high kid in the speace you nearly swung your basket into!

hey, jester...it's well known I"ll never grow up.

jinx, for the time being I got plenty o' natural padding there! Do you know where I can find them for adults (the shoes, not asses) I've seen them for older kids and I think I could find a size to fit but not sure.

What size are you Shawnee? In womens shoes?

And would you actually wear a pair or just stare at them?

monster · 11-30-2007, 07:49 AM

I've noticed most sports stores selling adult Heelies this year. not that I've been looking or want a pair or anything

jester · 11-30-2007, 09:39 AM

Just want to insert a note here - I don't think any kids/adults with Heelies are freaks - just the ones who are let loose in the store with no supervision whatsoever.

Shawnee123 · 11-30-2007, 12:15 PM

lmao! Probably just stare at them.

Cicero · 11-30-2007, 12:17 PM

mmmm..okay.

Then I'm the only one that looks like an idiot...

classicman · 11-30-2007, 01:33 PM

HELMET!! !! !! forget the ass pads. You WILL hit your head backwards on the pavement... guaranteed!
