I'm not sure about those other stories in retail.... but after stumbling on this website : People of Walmart: a collection of all the creatures that grace us with their presence at Walmart, America's favorite store.
.... you've seen 'em once, you've seen them all. |

That would be fun. Just start telling customers random stuff like, "Oh we don't sell that here anymore but X store in the mall has some on sale today. You may want to go there and check it out."

i used to work for wally world for 8 years and 6 years of that i was the food dept.manger, and i hate dealing with the moms. wally world has a nasty habit of taking the things away that sell good, like juicy juice, man when wee took them bottles off the shelve, the moms look like they were going to kill me, i used to have the moms come up to me and asking where was the stuff and i tell them, i had one lady that was going to scatch the hell out of me, her long nails were like inches too my face, I'm soooooooooooooooo happy i don't work for them anymore, it used to be a great place to work till they hired the CEO of target to work for them , now every thing went down hill,
I have, however, stopped shopping at Walmart for anything that I am brand specific on such as a certain shaving cream I like. I used to get annoyed whenever I needed it and they didn't have it in stock. Usually, it was the only shaving cream product not in stock at times, and it's the only one I can use that doesn't make my face break out in a rash. Now I just got to Target because they always have it. |

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had 3 incidents in past 3 days. The first one i had a non / poor english speaker call me a "stupid American" because i could not speak German. They berated me for a full minute in German for not understanding them. Then they said in english "that people like me who do not speak German are the reason the world is in bad shape" ..... I then pointed out what caused world war two. They didn't like that . XD |

So, I'm an 01 at K-Mart. We were the worker caste, pretty much. We were supposed to do everything - unload trucks, clean bathrooms and mop floors, take out the trash, the whole works. We were glorified janitors. I signed up for this post 'cause I thought it would be a good way to work out everyday. So here I am, 120-lb weak-piss girl, trying to lug crates with guys who fought in 'Nam. For the most part, it was actually a pretty awesome job.
Buuuut, there was this one day. I get in at 8, and the boss hands me a mop and points me to a bathroom. Some guy, either the night before or at the very crack of dawn, shat EVERYWHERE. I mean, it was a monument to filth. Incredible. Like the 8th Wonder of the World, devoted to human excrement. I spend a few hours cleaning that up, I think I puked only once. Buuuut, the day's not over! I get a call later after unloading a truck of cat litter (and that stuff is HEAVY), telling me to report to the girl's bathroom at the Little Caesar. Which, by the way, all Little Caesars should be banned under the Geneva Convention. Don't eat at there, please, for your health. Anyway, on the very same day, some girl has piddled all over the ladies' bathroom. Now, let that sink in. Some girl goes into a bathroom, and pees up the walls. Uuuuhh. I didn't even think we could do that. Cthulhu be praised. The final crescendo, after a possibly-illegal 14-hour shift, was cleaning out the trash at the end of the night. I'm lugging the Little Caesar's trash over the dumpster, and... something splits, and a huge, wet mass falls all over my hair and shoulders. I'm thinking, "Well, this is the end, can't believe I didn't expect do die in a monster movie." Turns out that amorphous, kinda tasty-smelling blob is an entire wad of Little Caesar's undused dough. Six... SIX pizza's worth. It was stuck in my hair for a week, I had to get some silly little boy's cut. Uuuuughgh. Unloading trucks wasn't bad, but everything else the people too lazy at K-Mart made us do was the worst. I can't even set foot in a K-Mart anymore, I worry I'll catch on fire.

Here's another one. I was working in Eckerd Pharmacy. A customer who regularly came in to purchase needles was on the headache isle looking around. The store manager told me she thought she was shoplifting and told me to stand at the end of the isle. The manager confronted the girl, and she had stuffed two boxes of Goody's Headache Powder into her purse. When the manager said she was going to call the cops, the girl's response was, "You don't know how much money I spend in here." My manager responded by saying, "I don't know how much you steal in here."
We also had another manager tackle a kid (about 13) in the parking lot for two Hotwheels cars he had shoplifted. I printed him a certificate of award for heroism with the Matel logo and my pharmicist and I presented it to him. |

Guys I could fill thousands of pages with stories. But here is one:
I too was an 01 at Kmart, so I understand what the immortalzodd is talking about. I used to help the Loss Prevention Manager catch shoplifters. We had one that took the cake! This guys was a regular. Stole once a week. All the stores knew him and would call each other when he was making his rounds. We followed him around the store dozens of times, but could never keep him on camera to be sure he had stuff on him, a necessity in WV. So one night the Loss Prevention manager has me and this 17 year old kid wait outside on the sidewalk by the front doors. Five minutes late here comes "Arnold". Out loss prevention manger stops him, identifies her self and say "Sir you have concealed merchandise and need to come back inside." "I don't have anything!" I tapped the videotapes clearly visible under his shit and asked "What are these?" "Those ain't mine," says Arnold. "Yes sir, they are ours, we would like them back." Long story short I physically drag the guy back inside. I get him insdie and he starts saying "If you cal lthe cops ther is gonna be trouble!" I said "Dude a short fat guy and a 17 year old kid just dragged you back in hear without breaking a sweat. I think the cops can handle you." HE looked me in the eye and shut up. Turns out he had just been relaesed after serving 20 years in prison on a double murder charge.
