Her reason was the taste was not worth the price…which was $1.00.

I had someone return a bag of sugar free Reese’s because “they tasted weird.”

Top Text: “Alternating shift times”

Bottom Text: “Have a good dight/nay!”]

When my schedule changes between mornings and evenings (1st and 2nd shift), I end up saying some weird combination of day and night jumbled together. Or I’ll say “have a good night” at 10 in the morning, and they look at me funny, and I have to awkwardly add “and a good day too…”

Top Text: “’THE SIGN SAID THAT WAS ON SALE!’”

Bottom Text: “THERE IS NO SALE SIGN ON THE ITEM”]

People are forever deciding that because there is a sale sign in the general vicinity of an item that said item is on sale, even when the sign is explicitly for (and placed on) a different item. This is shelf tags, mind you, not large overhead signs.

Top Text: “CUSTOMER HANDS YOU THEIR REUSABLE BAG.”

Bottom Text: “IT’S COMPLETELY COATED IN PET HAIR.”]

I work in a grocery store, and packing customers’ bags is part of the job. But when they hand over a black cloth bag that’s coated inside and out with animal fur, I’m not a happy robin! Not only am I severely allergic to cats and dogs, I just don’t understand why anyone would want to put FOOD in those bags! 

Unfortunately, it’s impossible to avoid, sometimes. Everything I own has dog hair on it permanently. -.-

Top Text: “STORE.  WIDE.”

Bottom Text: “INVENTORY.”]

Full store wide inventory coming up.  Everything has to be counted, tags on all PDQ’s, on all stock in back, etc.  Except I’ll finish a section and someone will come through and completely mess it up.  There are pallets, PALLETS, filled with merchandise that was never counted or tagged when it went up.  So not only do I have to do the work once, I have to check it daily to make sure it’s not messed up, and then fix it if it does.  And no one will be fired or even written up for it.

No ma’am, I’m just in the store today for shits and giggles.

Top Text: “WE DON’T STOCK THAT ITEM.”

Bottom Text: “CAN YOU CHECK?”]

This happened yesterday.

I work in a store that sells greetings cards and various gifts. We also stock gift cards for various other stores and websites. A couple came in looking for a “Sponsor and Alpaca giftcard, our daughter saw it in another of your stores, and its on your company website.” I politely informed them that, in my almost three years, of working in the store, I’d not seen this gift card so I was certain we did not stock it, and that not all stores carry the same stock. I even checked with other staff members that were with me, and they all said the same. I also informed them that we have no way of checking what stock we carry, which is a royal pain in the ass I have to say, and that as it was the weekend, our head office wasn’t available to contact to find out…

They still insisted I went into our office and checked our system.

Top Text: “”HAVE A NICE DAY.” “YOU TOO!””

Bottom Text: “TAKES 5 MINUTES TO SORT THROUGH PURSE AT YOUR COUNTER.”]

I never understand this. We have a long line behind you, I’ve given you your receipt and bag, I’ve said goodbye, and yet you think this is the perfect time and place to organize your purse and find your keys.

I mean, while I’m ringing up and bagging your merchandise you could be doing these things… I just don’t get it. It’s always so awkward, too. And it happens with 4 out of 5 of my customers.

There are always exceptions to be considered, but using good grammar is always important. If that makes me a grammar “Nazi” then so be it.
