Customer service goes out the window when you're clearly an idiot!

[RiskyRetail]

This is more of a rant than AIBU, feel free to join me...

So I work in a supermarket convenience store. I was on the early shift yesterday and surprise surprise, people are still ignoring social distancing and essential travel... Just a few examples of people being idiots include...

• Old people coming in to buy a newspaper
• People coming to buy lottery tickets

Neither are food or medicine. What do people not understand about essential travel?

• People coming to the till with a single item... Go to the self checkout FFS 😡
• People not understanding the 2m distance. You don't need to be peeking over my shoulder whilst I'm dealing with the self scan.
• People realising there's a queue to get into the shop and then grunting forget it. If you can 'forget it', it is clearly not essential so why the fuck are you out and about?

I was very snappy with a few customers yesterday but I'm beyond caring. I'm not going to stand with a smile while your idiotic behaviour puts me and people I care about at risk!

SapphireSalute - ohhhhh I'm cryyinnggggggg at you laughing at me.

@StraightTalkingSandra it didn't upset me love, just wanted to point out your error!

Much love xxxx

I'm signing off for the night...much love weirdos xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Your not following orders private ....

IT'S you're and I'm not a private....

the troll didnt like that!

Goodnight keep safe x

Omggg you hang out with THE BOYS at the office as well? Omg Sandra, we are TOTES IMPRESSED like. I bet you're like, TOTALLY 'one of the guys' as well, and soooo not like the OTHER girls.

OMG.

Bwahahahahahahaahahahahahahaahahahahahahaaha.

I am not happy. People call each other cunts on MN, but I get deleted for (actually quite nicely) saying that someone is dickish

she was typing fast.....

The boys in the office tomorrow are going to love this!:D

I bet they are! The esteemed colleague pointing out grammar errors and then doing the same, the laugh will be on ..... you! They'll maybe not laugh at you in front of you, but when you leave the boys in the office alone, they'll laugh and laugh at you.

You cannot honestly think you've not made a laughing stock of yourself on this?

Why don't you witches go back to your coven?

Thank goodness we are on lockdown so I don't have to mix withpeople like you....

troll only joined (or name changed ) today

Love how you gang up on people....really big and clever...take a long, hard look at yourselves.

not so straight talking now i see....

@leonardthelemming

Please use social media to try and find a local volunteer to help you and your wife. Lots of people are offering help to vulnerable people who are self-isolating and someone will certainly be willing to help you out.

IT'S you're and I'm not a private....

No vocative comma before 'private' either.

Today I brought fruit and eggs and chocolate Later hubby brought beer but we are following guidelines, in fact he’s very strict about it. We do not go in shops together. One stays outside, in fact our shops are two customers only.

@Likethebattle shopping for not one, but two, new spouses is not essential.

People aren't realising that it's not THEM that are the problem. THEY may well have only seen two people and be self isolating as well as they can. But it's about us, who work in the shop. WE are the vectors for disease. We can have served 500 people before you, any one of whom may have already got CV-19.

This is why you need to go shopping as infrequently as possible. Not because of all the people you are avoiding in the shop, but because of the assistants. Doesn't matter how much distance you keep between you and other shoppers, if you're less than two metres from the person actually SELLING you the stuff.

I feel you OP I also work in a similar store and we are having the same issues it's so frustrating!

I could have written this opening post word for word after being at work yesterday !!! These people seem to think we are all immune. Will be interesting when food shops close as all the staff are sick!!
Hundreds of people all now coming to our shop like it's now part of the family daily routine for their "family exercise"

Why have the lotteries not been stopped? Surely they're encouraging people to go to the shops (although I know you can do it online).

We do the EuroMillions twice a week, same numbers, so it was difficult to decide to stop but this week I did. I feel that if DH & I survive this thing & all is well afterwards, that's as good as winning the jackpot. Then DH called at the local shop for milk etc on his way home from essential work, & he bought the usual ticket!

TheFairyCaravan Chocolate isn't essential?????? Are you fricking kidding me.. Not been out the house since sat and got kick ass, vomit inducing, curled in a ball sobbing period pain....chocolate could seriously help this woman!

@ifIwerenotanandroid see that’s why I always play random numbers and NEVER EVER the same ones every week. Imagine how you’d feel if you stopped this week as you say and then your numbers came up for the jackpot... it doesn’t bear thinking about 🤯
