Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Fun Fridays here at The Violet Corner! Now, apparently this never posted yesterday (probably because I fell asleep super early and was practically in a coma after work) and I never set this entry to auto-post, Whoops!
Anyway, today's fun Friday (Saturday lol) is about stupid customers. Now, I work retail, so I run into lots of wonderful people broken up by incredibly rude people, and really dumb people. If you have a story to share PLEASE DO SO NOW! E-mail thevioletcorner@gmail.com and I will post your stories today too!
My favorite story I have from working retail comes when I was working outside in the garden department at my store. A woman probably in her late 20's early 30's walks up to me and asks, "Excuse me, where can I find the bug killer."
Well, being the helpful cashier that I am, I pointed to the swinging doors and replied, "Our pesticides are just through the greenhouse there, and directly to the left."
Now, the customer nodded and walked towards the doors, so I went and rang out the person that had gone over to my register while I had bee giving directions. When I looked up after finishing the woman I had sent inside was still standing in front of the doors. Concerned I went over and asked "Miss, did you need any help still?" It had been somewhere between 2-5 minutea she had been there mind you.
Well, the woman turned to me and said "Well, I'm waiting for the magic to happen."
Incredibly confused I managed to ask "The magic?"
"You know, the MAGIC! For the doors to open, they muat be broken," she frowned.
"Miss, these arent automatic doors, you have to push them," I responded. Please keep in mind I am both trying not to burst into laughter, or call her an idiot to her face.
She looked sad, and said "oh," and then struggled with pushing the doors open. Seriously? They are really light plastic swinging doors.
I literally could not believe it just happened. I honestly wonder to myself just how dumb this woman was, and how she had managed to live so long without permanent supervision. Apparently being pretty is better than being smart?
