Things that I hear WAY too often... and some other generally dumb stuff. (Sarcasm warning.)For all my friends in retail. Sometimes when you get asked things, it's just not appropriate to respond with the first thing that comes to your mind. I need an outlet... "You're tall."
Whoa... insight! I hadn't noticed that before. I've always wondered why I have to buy tall jeans, but now it all makes sense! Thank you!!! "I want your job!" (When I'm filling in for the door greeter at work.)
Fine with me, I'll go home. Thanks. "You look bored."
No, you just happened to catch me during one of the moments when I have half a second to breathe. "Sorry to interrupt your break."
This is a variation of the last one, but it makes me mad. lol. The other one is slightly irritating after a while, but this one will tick me off eeeeeevery time. "I'm gonna put you to work."
Well, that's what they pay me for. (This usually follows "you look bored.") "Do you work here?"
Seriously?
No... I really love navy blue and khaki. They gave me a badge and I volunteer my time, but why would you think I work here? "It's Christmas already?!?!"
Yes! It's in December this year!! "What are you putting out? Garden stuff?" (After Christmas.)
.......I really have no idea how to respond to that. I mean, I know we're bound to confuse some people, putting garden stuff in the garden center and all, but I think it's just crazy enough to work. "Fine. But I'll get over it." (In response to "how are you?")
Ah hahahahaha... you're funny. That was cute the first 400 times I heard it. "You've got to quit kicking your boyfriend!" (While pointing at my fracture boot.)
Again... first 400 times...... "Oh, Honey, you can't lift that."
I do this all the time. Now excuse me while I load 700 pounds of mulch in your truck while you, a man much large than I, just stand there and watch me. "That's ______." (insert fruit or vegetable name here.)
I know what it is. I need the PLU. My cashiers can back me up on how annoying that is... "They should make all these debit readers the same! They're all so different!"
I'm sorry, but if you can't figure out how to use those, please don't drive yourself home. The best question that I have ever been asked was at my last job. A guy had a question about a medicine, and he asked if I was a doctor. Yes. I'm a doctor. That's why I work at CVS. In the photo lab. Because I went to med school. I guess the lab coat confused him. |
