i work at six flags and the other day this old lady came in and asked me if she could get meatball sauce. (i was located at a pizzeria). the store was an hour away from closing and nobody that day ordered a meatball sub so we stopped making them. i looked to check it because i like to show effort before shutting down a customer and said "sorry we werent selling anymore meatball subs". i of course misheard her to wanting to buy a sub. she then replied with "i dont want the meatballs just the sauce" to which i replied with "do you want marinara sauce?" she said "no, i dont like that its too cold." i still tried to give it to her as she was holding the line but she refused. she then asked "if youre out what are you putting on your pizza?" to which i replied with "its like the costco machine where sauce is poured on the pizza." for some strange reason she believed the sauce from the machine was the equivalent of the meatball sauce and asked if she could get a plate of that. i went to the back room to tell my supervisors her stupid idea and came back reporting that she couldnt and then i handed her marinara sauce which she remarked with "ok i dont want it but.... whats your name" to which i told her it and said sorry multiple times. she then proceeded to write down my name and the cashiers name on a receipt to give to somebody who will probably throw it away.

another annoying thing is when im closing a store and people just casually walk in and wait for me to notice them while im wearing headphones and mopping the floors.
me: sir/mam were closed
them: oh youre closed can i just get ice?
me: were closed

just a quick tip when i say that theres no ice dont reply with "yes i want ice"

I work at Walmart so I have a LOT of stories, but a few weeks ago someone **** themselves, went in the bathroom, took all their clothes off until they were completely naked, and waited by the door. A maintenance guy walked by and he immediately came out, naked, and said, "Would you clean all this up?" pointing to his soiled clothes and the mess he left in the bathroom.

I remember back in high school when I worked at Wendy's, this lady ordered a large chili, and then came back up saying the chili didn't taste right, so I apologized to her, but instead of just taking her money back, she started swearing at me, telling me that I'm retarded for the chili, which I didn't even make "tasting like ****", then she threw it at me, told me to go to hell and walked out. The chili was hot, so it hurt. I was 16 at the time, but had that been now, I'd probably have throw in right back at her. I'm glad I don't work in customer service anymore, it's underpaid and people are usually assholes for no reason.

I saw Doug Walker at a grocery store in Chicago yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Literally what the ****
Did he see the testimonials as a chance to one-up his questionable behavior when people were only suspicious of it before

Did you guys know you can get drunk off vanilla extract? My store had a white trash lookin woman who would take some in the bathroom and chug it and then leave. She stole over $330 of the stuff and the police were called. They couldn't arrest her since they don't arrest unless it's over $1000 but her and her husband were banned from the store.

There's this really large gentleman who always rides around in one of our motorized carts. He. Smells. BAD. He literally smells like vomit in a dumpster full of maggots and other things you don't need to picture. I've gagged everytime he's been near me, and he almost made a cashier throw up. We've nicknamed him Stinker and back when I was a cashier, i'd wait until he checked out and left before literally retracing his steps and spraying the **** out of fabreeze EVERYWHERE HE WAS.

There's a guy like that who comes in to Walmart sometimes except he gets RIGHT IN YOUR FACE. If you back up, he gets close again. It's like he WANTS you to smell him.

No longer in retail hell (yay!) but still a fun work story nonetheless. This happened before I started working where I am now.

I work in a company that has locations not only all over the US but all over the world. Apparently one day someone at my location parked badly and sparked an unprofessional email war. Someone who had some sort of high enough position within the company messaged the car owner and said something like "Just because you have a ****ty car doesn't mean you can act like a douchebag." In addition to saying this through his work email, he hit "reply all" instead of replying directly to that person, which sent this message to not only everyone working at my location, but I think everyone that works at the company at all. To put this in perspective, my location alone has over 2,000 people. Then someone replied to him saying "Hey you hit reply all, dumbass" but that person also hit reply all. Another person replied to that person with "You also hit reply all" while also hitting reply all. This started a giant reply all chain that lasted like, a day. Apparently the original guy didn't get fired but he did at least get a stern talking-to if not written up.

Some guy keeps calling my work and has for years apparently and has been dubbed the serial masturbator. Keep in mind he must be doing this a LOT if he's infamous at my location because we have buildings all over the country and it's random which one you may get connected to when you try to call. Anyway, he will call and start screaming obscenities if he gets connected to a male employee. He may start off with something like "YOU STUPID MOTHER****ER" and being cussed out is one of the few times we are allowed to hang up on someone. He will keep calling until he gets connected to a female employee, and then when asked for a name he will give something like "Harry Johnson" and he keeps asking women to repeat what they just said ("Ooooh say that again") and you can hear him breathing heavily and jacking off. We keep blocking his number but he still continues to call under different numbers.

I will give updates on our friend here if I hear more stories about him.

i just got home from work. we close at 6pm. at 5:35pm, a guy comes in with at least 50 (no exaggeration) XBox games to sell.It takes me until 5 minutes after close (bear in mind I have piles of labelling and boxes to put out still) to do the entire transaction. Worst thing is, this guy KNOWS FULL WELL when we close because he's done this exact thing before!! I was biting my lip to stop from screaming at him smilie

i dont work in retail thank god but i work in a senior living facility. im the dining coordinator so i set up the dining room and serve drinks etc. sometimes i help serve the residents because our nursing/kitchen staff is useless. my boss is a complete dumb ass and can't keep up with stocks at all. there were a lot of angry *****y people when we ran out of orange juice. whenever somebody doesn't get fed, somehow it's my fault (it's not my fault) and i get yelled at by the resident. it's an interesting place.


me: *fills all the sugars on the table* (there are different colors of sugars to represent the type it is)
luanne: *walks up to me with the pink sugar packets* HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU PEOPLE THAT WE DONT WANT THESE?????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!

me: *puts a little ice in it*
paul: ice cold

*puts his hand on my back*
dominique: you're a very hard worker, aren't you?

not my story. our store has chopped onions in condiment packets and apparently one day a customer was so giddy that we had them that he began eating the onions straight out of the packet.

A section of one of our buildings constantly smells like burned popcorn since so many people are microwaving popcorn in the biggest break room. It's gotten to the point where someone posted up a microwave popcorn flowchart by the microwaves. I should've taken a picture of it while I was over there today, since my cube is in the other building and it takes forever to walk between them.

me: i apologize, sir, but they really shouldn’t have. we cannot legally accept this.
guy: well your mechanics gave it to me!
me: again im sorry, but they legally shouldn’t have done that. i can’t accept this, do you have something else?
guy: no!
me: (finally just gives up) okay sir. have a good night
