A Tale of Walmart

I just had to share this anecdote of a customer today because the utter ridiculousness of it was so extreme that it merits mentioning. Okay, so this dude gets sent over to lawn & garden to purchase a grill that's out front. That's weird in of itself because he's supposed to get that up front, not in lawn & garden. Well after trying to get a clear ( Read more... )

Oh, my god. I would have manchecked him so hard for you. >(

This is why I hate retail.

I can totally deal with someone having a valid complaint, but someone just trying to get into a fight or being a bitch for the sake of it just needs to gtfo my store.

Almost 5 years in retail definitely helps you build some immunity to this kinda shit. I've just learned the best way to handle it is not try to be polite. They're being asshats, treat them as such.

Honestly sometimes I really wonder what is wrong with people. It's like this guy has made his purpose in life to be the most annoying douchebag possible :/ :\ Sounds like you handled it pretty well though, guess you're used to ridiculous customers by now.

Nearly five years of retail experience had made me battle-hardened when dealing with stupid douches like this. But you did hit the nail on the head. He probably really was trying to be difficult. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen someone do that!

wow! Some customers are such a pain to deal with, I think they reckon that because they are buying stuff from you they have a right to be rude and annoying and difficult.
You dealt with it really well though~

They don't see me as a person, but the store I work for. So, I'm just an entity. At least, that's my theory as to why they're stupid dicks like that sometimes. I'd like to believe that over they're just assholes. lol
And thank you. I think making faces like I made was kinda bad, but if he was gonna complain, he would've done it sooner. n~n
