To expect this woman to help me?

[jessieisfeelingblue]

Today I was shopping in a large department store. I was trying to find a t-shirt for DD in a particular style but I was having trouble finding the one that I wanted. So when I saw a woman heading in my direction who was dressed in this stores uniform I thought I'd ask her. This woman was actually wearing a cap and an apron but I knew she worked there as like I said she had the rest of the uniform on so I assumed she would be able to help me.

But when I asked her (nicely) if she could help me find the thing I wanted and I explain (again nicely) what I was looking for, she told me that she worked in the cafe and not the shop floor and I would be better off asking one of the shop floor staff. I was quite confused by this as she obviously worked there so why wouldn't she know where things were?

I again asked her nicely and told her that even if she did work in the cafe (which I had already figured out before I spoke to her by the apron and cap) she should still be able to help me and know where things are but again she told me she didn't work on the shop floor therefore didn't know it.

AIBU to expect her to help me? She still works there.

suspect they are started because an OP is worried she may get a pasting

Why would she have got a pasting the right way round?

Well, she got off lightly now.

What - I work in a bakery in a large store and was unable to help a customer find a t-shirt in clothing. Luckily, I managed to find someone who could help her.

AIBU to help a customer like this?

Yeah, she'd really get a pasting for that

I used to work in the restaurant in BHS. I knew nothing about stock on the shop floor. We weren't trained on it and I never spent any time there. My days were spent entirely in the restaurant.
Why do you think the cafe workers would know where stock on the shop floor is op?

I've namechanged back to my hamster NN just to post in this thread again.

itsbetterthanabox I work in the restaurant in BHS and second that we don't get any training on shop floor. I also don't spend any time there so why would I know about the stock there?

Op itsbetterthanabox hasn't RTFT so still thinks your op is genuine - which is why reverses not good.

mint

omg op are you on a wind up??

yep op is on a f ing reverse wind up

YAWN

Oh FFS OP. You would have had a whole thread of supportive well wishers. Instead you're irritated the shit out of people.
Wish I hadn't replied earlier.

Can't believe what I am reading. What happens if someone really upsets you?

For fucking real?

You don't want to know.
I usually set the rottweiler on them.

Ugh. I'm so bored of these reverse AIBU's.
Tiresome.

Op i feel your pain!!!!!! I used to do the same job as you! Hated people who would get stroppy when i said i didn't know where things were when they could clearly see i had cafe uniform!
The rest of the store moved their crap around weekly i never knew where anything was! You could never say you worked in the cafe part though.... Everyone still said it though otherwise you just looked stupid that you didn't know where anything was.
Yes we always got complaints for passing customers onto other colleagues to help them

yabu. I betshe was on a break too.

oops. should read whole thread b4 posting. I usedtogo into local shopinmybank uniform and getasked all sorts of questions. Very annoying.

And then the OP comes on saying its a reverse and everyone else after that only reads the OP or has to point out its a reverse. sigh OP why???

Maybe it is time reverse threads were deemed to contravene talk guidelines, and posters given a weeks ban for breaking these guidelines.

HQ said on another thread that they are considering that Quint

Good. Fingers crossed.

That's a good idea.

Good. I hope they do.

Yawn.
