Encounters with dumb store employees - Page 3

post #31 of 39
Me at the wal-mart car section where i left my car to get 2 new tires and coming back to pick it up the next day: Me: Hi, I'm here to pick up my car the camry Wal-mart guy: Sure, that'll be $29.50 Me: Ummm... you put 2 new tires on it. I'm pretty sure it's more than that. Wal-mart guy: No, the paper says $29.50 (shoves a clipboard in my face) I go out to check my car and make sure he actually put 2 new tires on, and sure enough it's there. I come back in Me: Dude, there are 2 new tires on my car, you can either charge me for them or not, I guess I'm better off if you don't, but still. Wal-mart guy: The paper says $29.50. That's what I'm going to charge you. Me: OK... ring it up. Wal-mart guy: (After realizing I gave up arguing with him) Happy? As soon as I get in my car and start to back out I see this guy running out of the store waving another clipboard to get me to stop. He finally found the right paperwork. Here's the kicker... when I went in, I was the only customer there, he had another co-worker literally standing there watching us go back and forth the whole time without saying a word. His badge said "customer service specialist"

I got the aforementioned $2.99 combo at Wendys today. You'd been better off without it.

Store employees have many, much more ridiculous stories about dumb customers than you have about them.

Yesterday, I went into Hardee's with a friend (I didn't order anything). He ordered a combo. Despite being the only person in the restaurant or drive-thru, the 4 people working forgot to give my friend fries .

Bigtimer: I'd like to see the reserve wine list, please.
Waitress: Of course, I'll be back with it.

Several minutes later, after bigtimer has perused the list for a minute:

Bigtimer: What can you tell me about this magnum you have listed here?
Waitress: Well, uuhh, sir, um, a magnum is a very large bottle...
Bigtimer: Do you have a sommelier?
Waitress (embarrassed): Of course, right away, sir.

Why would your buddy ask a very young waitress questions about the reserve wine list.

How else would she know he is a bigtimer?

Many of these stories remind me of encounters with Emergency Department residents and attendings.

+1. That's on your buddy... not that girl. It's not fair to ask people questions they're not expected to know the answer to and call them dumb. It may make the guy feel like a bigtimer, but it's really kinda rude. Some salesperson at some mediocre shoestore I once went into kept pestering me, so finally I asked him which of his shoes were goodyear welted (I already knew nothing in the store was, and he wouldn't know what I was talking about) just to embarass him and get him to stop pestering me.

I have more dumb customer encounters working at St.Vincents (like goodwill).
I had a woman bring in to the donation dock a large box of fresh twigs. Some other woman came in tripping off mushrooms. Also just large amounts of useless shit that comes though. Plus the fact its located in the worse part of town doesn't help, its lulzy but I had to sort through that twig box for elvis memorabilia that was also in the box
