it started when i parked my car... i got out and started to walk towards teh door, i realized the worst thing that could happen was happening. THE DISTRICT MANAGER WAS COMING IN!!! i rushed inside and spread the word and then sat down and started to take out my earings and get in 'dress code' or in other words the stricter code of dm, switch my hair change my shirt hide my ink... ugh...
i went in to the salon to next hear the stupid younger bather gloat about this one dog how the owners said the last time their dog was done it wasnt clean looking and stuff (i did the dog last) and she was just so happy i got a complaint i was liek w/e cause i told the people its middle of shedding season and not all of her undercoat was loose so i wasnt going to get my best results just yet and that another 2 or 3 weeks would really be best for her to have the treatment they picked and instead for her to just get bath with a bla bla bla they didnt listen and complained today NOT that day so it meant nothing to me. also the lady lost her check book that day so ha.

She was so nasty to me. She demanded to talk to a manager and get my name and the customer service's name and some numbers and all this other stuff. I started bawling my eyes out and she made faces and told me to stop crying and suck it up and other mean things. She said I embarrassed in front of all these customers, when the closest one was 10 feet away. She vouched for me and told the customer service manager that I did nothing wrong. The customer service manager told me that the lady was psycho and not to worry about and that I wasn't in trouble.
Luckily, some customers told me I was kind and a sweet heart and nice things because I went out of my way to help them.

one year i was yelled at by some woman because i asked her if she found everything she was looking for because we were still unpacking things in back and were told to ask just to make sure that it wasnt a product in back they were looking for... next thing i knew i was teh reason carson's went bankrupt and was closing and it was my fault that bath and body works no longer sells misletoe body lotion (they dont cause it must have sucked)... i stood there with a smile and paged a manager while taking the blame for everything that this woman spewed from her mouth. after 5 minutes i offered to go in back and get a manager i went in the back corner of the stock room and yelled in the headset there was a 'few choice words' at the register looking for manager. the managers all seemed to yell in the headset WHERE IS ASH?! they thought i was cussing this lady out it was great, but like you lina other people had stood up that i handled it well. they said that they were shocked i smiled and agreed and one woman said the lady infront of her was just being a total witch over a bottle of lotion.
so lina im sorry that happened *HUGS*

When it comes to people trying to come behind the counter at work, I have some fun with it, it happened a couple of days ago.
A few days back, a customer attempted to come behind the counter to where we have our liquor. I warn the guy twice that the area behind the counter was restricted to customer access. It was right near the registers after all. A couple of feet away honestly. He decided to push the bounds. On the third time, I stood in his path 2 steps back from the entrance. I said, in a fairly firm voice. "Again, this is area is for EMPLOYEES ONLY! Violation of that allows me to treat you exactly as I would treat an attempted robbery. Which means, I'll trigger the silent alarm, and defend myself and the store by whatever means necessary, up to and included lethal force. Now, if you DO come back here, let's just say, I'd hate to be in YOUR shoes."
He just laughed and said, "Yeah, I'm going to rob your store." He took that step behind the counter. Good enough of a threat for me. I triggered the silent alarm, grabbed him by the neck, and slammed him full force into the ground. He tried getting back up so I drew my baton and slammed him in the back of the knee and pinned him to the ground with my knee in the back of his neck. A moment later the police came flying around the corner and jumped out of their squads and flew inside. They seen him pinned by me on the floor and told me they'll take care of it. They asked me, "What did he do?" "He threatened to rob the store then came behind the counter." I have a court date just after ACen because of that.
As for costumers yelling at me, I have a doozy from 2 days ago, that night was messed up.
A couple come in and do a bit of shopping. Another guy came in for the case of beer he gets every couple of days. I open the case, he get's his beer, and the couple is finally ready and waiting when I get to the front. I ring them up, and I ask if there's anything else they need. I hear about 8 different cigarettes called out. I finally say, "What kind of cigarettes do you need?" The girl said, "Just get me a mother f****** pack of Marlboro f****** Menthol Lights"
"Please don't give me an attitude. You two said multiple kinds of cigarettes."
"I'll give you a f****** attitude whenever the f*** I want."
At this time, the guy waiting to buy his beer is laughing his butt off. I abort the entire transaction, and just scan the chocolate milk she had already opened and took a drink from. I take the other items and put them on the counter behind me.
"I must ask you to pay for the chocolate milk and then leave the premises."
They started going on a massive rant about how they weren't going to pay for the milk unless they were going to buy everything else. So I just smiled and said, "Ok..." The guy ducked out and called in his friends who were waiting for him. I guess he recognized the look in my eye when I smiled. They came in and stood off to the side watching and laughing.
I finished ringing all their items and then ask for her to swipe her card. One of the good things about our system is that the card, though registered by it, it won't go through until I press a button on my end, nor can it be canceled but from my end. I voided EVERYTHING but the milk, then hit the button for it to go through. If they paid attention, they would have seen on the PinPad in front of them the items were being voided off. I asked then, "Debit, or credit?" They did credit and on our systems for purchases under $X you don't need to sign. The card fully clears and their receipt prints out. I take all the items off the counter except for the milk and gave them their receipt. They because saying I'm stealing from them and they want all their stuff. I laughed as I handed them their receipt with showed just the milk paid for and everything else voided.
The group waiting laughed all too hard. The guy in the couple decided to call the police on me since they said it was a fake receipt and that I charged them for everything. I finally ring the guy up for his beer and asked him and his group to stick around to be witnesses in case anything happened. The response, "Do we need to buy tickets?" "No, no, just stand back and enjoy the show."
The girl in the couple said, "We are not a show! He stole from us. Don't you see?" This just got more laughter. She attempted to get them, which were a majority black to sympathize with her by saying I was a racist and every time she came into the store with a black guy, I'm creeping around the store watching their every movement. Again, the group just laughed at it. They deal with me most every night. The guys who bought the beer turned to me and asked, "Is she serious? They're white and their trying to play the race card on you? I mean, WTF (sadly this is what he said). Do they think we'll believe them?"
Suddenly, a flash came from outside. One of the ways I told CPD to get me to pay attention to them pulling up was to flash their spotlight into the store. So, I knew it was the regular patrol car that came around. I waved them in and said, "Well, here's the cops." They came in and asked me, "So what's going on." I explain to them the situation and show them my copy of the receipt that was printed for them. He turned to the girl who started again with the racist statment she used before. Sadly, I just laughed again. He finally got them out of the store and I could tell be the one cop's face, he had it. "If they come back again, just call us up. If they aren't on the property when we get here, we can always get them on disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, or something." The cops and the couple finally left and myself and the group had one good, long laugh.
Now for some comedy.
The other night two Russian guys came in. They shopped a bit then asked for the key for some beer. I get it for them. All this time, other then the request for the key, they were speaking Russian. They come up to the register say a couple last words then turn to me and said, "Sorry, we were speaking Russian." I said, "I know." "You know Russian." I said, "чуть-чуть" which means, for the most part, "Just a bit." They looked at each other with a dumbstruck look. They paid then left.
A tourist came in with a somewhat have english accent. He wanted to know where the "Cloud Gate" B.K.A. "The Bean". I asked if walking or driving, he said he'd rather walk. So I tell him to walk about a half of a kilometer to Michigan Ave. the walk down about 1 and a quarter kilometers to the bean. "You know the kilometers?" "Yes." "Huh... I thought you Americans used niles or something." "That would be 'miles' and most of us do. However, given my proximity to downtown and the local tourist attractions, I found it helpful to learn my metric distances." "I see that. Thank you for your help."
I love when I throw tourists for a loop.
I got some others, but my fingers are getting too tired to continue.

i dont like that girl lately and i want to accidently bump in to her and knock her in the tub with by slipping or something.
totally random note i bought my neigbor some poop bags and he was like why did you get me 6 months worth i was like they had a pack of 240... just you have one dog... hes like you are too nice, i was like and you have a rainbow of poop bags for poop now haha. he helped us out a lot this past week so i figure bags for crap would be a nice gift. he asked how much my store charged and i knew we had them on sale.

Nope. Turns out I found out from a server that she was actually dumped by her husband and they went there because he didn't want her to make a scene of it. Now I want this guy out of my sex because that's just cowardly to me. You don't do that in a place like ours. Why do you drag someone to a busy restaurant to say "It's over?"

This woman came up to the register and wanted a couple magazines returned, which we can't return to the magazine company and thus don't do returns on. She griped about the fact that it was within 30 days and she had her receipt, and I refused her twice more. Then she ended up shoving the books and stuff back in the bag she brought them in and yelled 'WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT, WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT?!', but didn't give me so much as a chance to answer since she stormed off before I could open my mouth. xD

anyways she goes on how sweet he is and yadda yadda, now normally i understand how people dont realize when their kid names the dog it could honestly be due to a personlity deffect or the kid just loves teh evil bowser... im going with personality defect close to that of boswer. this dog was insane mean and i have never wanted to do an aggro hold more in my life than that day. an aggro hold is a hold limited to only being done in back due to it being possibly considered to harsh for teh dog infront of the owners though its honestly safe when properly trained. just it looks like we may be harming the dog due to how the hold, well looks. we put on the party mask and an e collar this dog still bit my arm some how and clawed the heck out of a manager. HA good dog my butt!
the people behind this dog wanted a nail trim and the lady got pissed it took so long because of the insane bowser (not my fault dogs legally insane) and then because her dog yelped and she assumed i quicked her i checked all paws i must have poked her with the tip of my clippers and it must have been painful, i dont blame pup for yelping but owner could have relaxed the dog was fine and not bleeding. infact her nails were perfectly cut down.
monday i had a psycho pug that wanted to kill me for cutting his nails (no shock) then i got no tips of course. oh and i had a pupppy that smelled of pee. but was very good for her nails. my job also owes me 2 paychecks past of a different wage than what it paid me at
oh and a manager said i am lying about cleaning my cages and stuff because shes too stupid to consider looking for my signature.

So he calls his Brother on the phone & asks him to come over & buy it for him. It's considered a third part purchase & knowing it is for a possible minor I know I can't sell it to his Brother either & I tell him that. Mean while the Brothers shows up & I have to repeat the whole, thing. The Brother starts complain because he is old enough. I use the you wouldn't let a 24 year old buy booze for a 14 year old & that it is the same kind of sale. So the Brother complains that you can not compare booze to a video game, so I repeat myself & emphasize that it is the same kind of sale He keeps going on, mean while I denied the sale & make to put it away, just as thankfully a manager walks by.
I tell the manager the same thing & he backs me up, he even tried to get them to come back after he was gone, implying that he wouldn't be aware if the Brother came back to buy it by himself. (That was totally wrong of him to say) They were too busy complaining to hear that. While I put the game away, they keep saying the same things over, like I was going to buy two of them, this is stupid, the booze comparison was stupid, blah, blah, blah ( a coworker actually tried to get some one to come & escort them out, but they left before hand) The older Brother's last comment, it must be because I am black. Honestly, even if he'd been purple, my favorite color, I still wouldn't have sold it for two reasons. 1 I kept telling them I could loose my job & I would not loose my job for them. 2, if they had been nice, I might have looked the other way when the manager told them so in other words, but never, be rude to a PSMing Irish gal.
On a fun note, my coworker came in late due to a Dentist appointment & on her way, saw a police car in a pond with the cop walking with his head down shaking it no as if he was ashamed already. I think I might know who the cop is too, LOL!

For now, I shall post my evening story and leave it at that, but shall read all stories soon
I work as a front end manager at a grocery store. To put it simply, I'm in charge of all the registers, cashiers and the overal running of the check-out area. We close the doors to our store at 10.00pm and let any remaining customers finish their orders, dimming the lights about 10.15 as a subtle "we are closing" sign. I had two cashiers at this point, and decide to run the store to search for remaining customers and put any last items back on the shelves. I notice two major orders, one is a pair of ladies and the other is an old lady.
I return to the front and help shut down the cashiers, using my own register to take the final orders so they could go home and we could shut more efficiently. It's about 10.30pm when I'm starting to worry. The two ladies came through, but the older lady did not. I grab a cart guy and we both sweep the floor. Apparently our store manager was doing the same, as in the end it's his duty to close the store, I'm only shutting down the front end.
We all turn up a negative.
I'm worried, but I was out hunting for customers a while at 10, and it's possible she could have slipped through while one of my cashiers was still open. So I close down and count my drawer, put on my coat, it's 10.40 now and as I'm walking away, out of the darkness of the store, comes the lady.
I will fully admit, I am deeply at fault and feel terrible that I saw her in the store and allowed it to get to the point of which the lights were off without noticing her. I instantly take her to an empty register, running the order without a cash drawer (as mine was already turned in for the night). The interesting and heartbreaking part of the tale is that the lady was really sorry, she confessed that her husband recently passed away and that she wasn't used to shopping on her own and just didn't know what to do.
As we rang up, she mentioned how she was trying to find the deals in the frozen section, but couldn't read the signs because the lights were off. I near felt my heart cracking by that point, she was still shopping, even when the lights were dimmed, because she was alone and wasn't totally sure on the protacol.
She was just so dang nice, apologetic, humble and kind during the entire thing, the entire incident, which should have been annoying and stressful, was just a sincere moment of human kindness for me. My cart guy, only 17, stayed the entire time and even helped the lady load her car.
So, I got an extra 30 minutes of wage, a nice story and a mixed sensation of guilt for closing before she was ready and joy that the story even happened at all.
Not bad, for a Monday night.

Here's a funny one, helping an older Lady with questions about computers & printers. She just needed to get an idea & have help reading boxes because she did not see well. After helping to answer her questions & reading info off the boxes, she ask me if I have On Demand. I tell her I did when I had Comcast. So she tells me, that with out her glasses on, she accidentally ordered 2 pornos. After telling her Son about it, he just laughed & laughed at her. I smiled & said, do you have Grandchildren? She nodded yes. So I added, then use the Parental control, it will give you a password to use & they won't be able to find it & you will be least likely to accidentally say yeas I want that porn. That it was simple, but if she needed help, she could call Comcast & they could walk her through it. She laughed & thanked me. I realize how embarrassing that must have been to tell, but I appreciated it.

A friend of one of our cashiers decided to visit him dressed in a gorilla suit and gave the few of us on the early third-shift cashier crew a good laugh. Of course, I think I got the biggest OMG! laugh out of it, since I'm used to seeing people in costumes...although not at Wal-Mart.
It did make my day though, being that earlier the store had to deal with pouring rain and pow-wows of people crowding the foyers because they didn't want to get wet. Couldn't blame them - I ran into the store in one of those downpours and got soaked. How fun 20 minutes before my shift began and had no access to the dryer. XP

He then invites us to his beach house in a getaway island for the weekend.
Next thing you know, we find his dead body upon arrival to his beach house.
To make things worse, dozens of our boss' friends start arriving nonchalantly looking for a impromptu party at his infamous beach house.
We then we had to prop up his lifeless corpse to convince the party goers he was still alive, all the while crazy hi-jinks ensue.
