Post them up.
I'll start. First off....THIS IS COMPLETELY TRUE!! My wife and I met and started dating at this job...she can corroborate it. Had to say that...as it is strange. I was hired as a Receiver...but was trained at Service Desk (aka Customer Service/CSR). We all knew the rules: "No returning swim suits" "No returning undergarments opened up/appear worn" So...this one day...a guy comes in...with a bag of peanut M&M's...saying "I want my money back." Now...the bag was opened...clearly seen as the top flap was clearly cut off the bag and missing. Playing along...I asked the reason for return...his reply: "I DIDN'T WANT PEANUTS!!" I looked in the bag...and seen nothing but peanuts....this fool put each M&M in his mouth and chewed all the chocolate off them and spit the peanuts back in the bag. I all but pissed myself laughing....and with not a straight face told him we could not refund the money as the bag was opened and clearly eaten. lol The manager told me to give him his money back....lol...to which I really busted out laughing. I got called into the office and told of my behavior...and kept laughing at the situation. I stayed at the job another month...but everytime I was paged to the service desk...did not appear. lol I still can't believe they gave this fool his money back. So...what's your worst/best/most hilarious story???

I was a store manager at a EB Games for a couple of years, and when Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas came out.. some airhead blonde mom (correct description) came in with her little "gangster" (by clothing and speech mannerisms) 10 year old son to buy it, I made the extra effort to explain what was all included in the game. Me and my assistant manager must have went over every immoral and horrific thing in the game, and the look on the kids face was CLASSIC.
He was SO angry with us for "explaining" the game to the mom, and the mom actually didn't buy him the game. I loved being a pain.

I was a clerk at a convienence store for several years. One night a guy came in and asked me to get some cigars for him from behind the counter. When I got them, I intentionally got the wrong thing because I wanted to see if he was stealing cigarettes off the counter display. I went back, but spun around quickly to catch him, and sure enough, he was stealing Newports. I told him to put them back, and he put one of the three packs he had stolen back on the rack. I told him I knew he had more, and he denied it and left. I called the cops, which I thought was useless, because he'd be long gone before they got there. Amazingly enough, when they got there he was still parked at the gas pump. Come to find out there were three guys in the car. The driver was too drunk to get the car started fast enough. He did get it started, but all it got him was arrested for DWI and driving with a revoked license. The shoplifter got caught with the merchandise I had described, and went to jail with him. Guy number three? He had to walk home. It was a fun night at the Pantry!

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.

WOW.. There are some real horror stories on here already. I don't think any of mine compare to those.
The most annoying thing that used to happen to me quite often, was while I was working at the Sunglass Hut. Being I live in Sarasota FL we get a lot of tourist from all parts of the world. What people from other countries can't seem to get through their thick skulls is that in America the price... is THE PRICE.. we Don't haggle end of story! So I would invariably have to spend at least half an hour every weekend explaining to some lovely gent or lady with broken English that there is nothing I Can do for the price.. If I give it to them any cheaper I would get fired.. Then of course I would have to explain to them that I Do not Own the store.. I only work for the corporation... You'd think Italians would understand that. Now if you want some real horror stories I can tell you of the days I worked in the Restaurant biz.

I was an assistant manager at KB Toys (1993)& had not yet learned about Scalpers.
This family of dingleberries would always come in looking for xmen figs. In my ignorance, I got to chatting with them and let them know I was into G.I. Joe. One day they bring me a complete Rattler and all they asked was that I save the good xmen figs for them and give them a call. No sweat, said I. Well after not meeting their unspecified quota, they decided that I owed them money for this Rattler. $100 for an out of package rattler in 1993. I explained to them my confusion about the deal, & refused to pay but offered to give them back the Rattler. This wasn't good enough, they went to my manager and told him that I had swindeled them. After this proved fruitless, they threatened me with lawyers and lawsuits. My manager then explained the concept of the scalper to me, told me to never do such things again. I said no problem, won't happen again. A few weeks later, on my shift, there was a fist fight between two scalpers (or two collectors or some combination thereof) over some starting lineup figs. I caught heat from higher up the chain of command for that. Last edited by txbart; 08-26-2009 at 08:20 PM.. |

Ouch! Nah, it's a true story though. I wasn't there and had just been hired like a few days
before. It happened on a sunday when there was no over night crew and two guys hid in a tire display until everyone but one manager and two girls from the cash office where there. Funny thing is and I shit you not.. the dudes were dressed like Darth Maul. Atleast that's what I heard. |
