HATE the talking to Walmart/Target employees on

MLos1 · 08-06-2008, 08:51 AM

Especially the on the phone.

Target employees with their stupid shitty little scanner guns won;t go to aisles to actually tell you what's in stock unless you beg.

Then they have no clue what they are looking for. Girl came back to the phone telling me all they had were GI JOE cranes? Turns out it was a HISS Tank. Where you get a crane from that I have no clue?

And Walmart, the phone operator barely spoke any English, then when I get to talk to someone actually in the toy department, they tell me they do not carry 3-3/4 GI JOES, and have not for months, although last week I bought 4 figures there, and two days ago they had an entire set of vehicles and 6 Wild Bill figures.

I know if I drive out to Wal-mart right now. I'll find the Wild Bill figures on the pegs and that, yes they do carry them, and the vehicles will still be there too.

At Target, I'll find more than just the HISS tank, prob 2 packs with Destro and Breaker and Fred and Comic Viper and more vehicles.

They suck.

And this is not just for the toy dept either. Call any dept looking for anything and they cannot give you a clear answer.

its because they dont get paid enough to care what you want.

i dont even bother talking to employees anymore. i have gone around and around with them, got into a few altercations, and still ended up without what i wanted.

If i dont see it on the pegs now i dont even bother. Even though i know they have cases of wave 9 sitting in the back.

Eff that. You wanna know whats on the peg? get off ur lazy ass and go to the store to find out. Dont like the service? go somewhere else instead of bitching out someone who already hates their fuckin job.

And if all you find is wildbill and torpedo, then you're gonna just have to try harder.

Seriously... Not all customers are a-holes. I don't think it's right to treat the polite and friendly ones like myself like all the other crap that shops there. I always do my best to be courteous... Doesn't always work but hey... atleast you tried.

Dark 5cythe · 08-06-2008, 09:12 AM

.........sorry guys lol. And actually I used to work at a KB toys along time ago lol. and a TRU. and a Target. Im just so fed up with retail and how people treat you because your an employee. Its like this sense of entitlement or something.

Ive said it repeatedly. If you want good service. dont be difficult and be polite. If you start to argue, employees just zone you out. its that simple.

I helped out EVERY collector that was nice to me. I would go and literally look though cases of what ever for them. the ones that were pricks got turned away or ignored.

and as for calling and asking whats in stock. If ur gonna be too lazy to go to the store, why wont the employee be too lazy to check for you?

There was one time I called a Target and the lady really tried to help me, I gave her the codes for the Battle Packs and she said they had 4 on the shelf and so I went and got my share. So for that day it was +1 for the Target people, but as far as Target as a whole is concerned - they are still way in the negative.

I think BOTH collectors AND store employees have their share of pricks. I've gotten both good and bad results from calling and in-store assistance.

Network with other people and you'll be better off. Not to preach, but less time, less gas, more inner plastic peace.

you gotta work at Target to really understand how badly people are treated there. The team leads(wannabe mini managers) are constantly watching over you telling you to do it faster. and then they go and give you everyone elses job while theyre at it.

And they have these little sheets of paper from the computer that says how fast you should be doing something.
