if it was British it would be called "Coffee - Mate?"

Haha oh oops didn't even notice that I meant "lighter"

And trolley in the grocery world:



So he was standing on that and dumped a container of coffee mate off of it onto a lighter held by someone else. Big flame. Singed eyebrows. Fun for all.

You damn coffee elitists.

You know, because that's OBVIOUSLY the only responsibility I have and you're OBVIOUSLY the only idiot making a damn mess for no good reason. It's the accumulation of idiots acting like toddlers, incapable of picking up after themselves. That's the real problem. Sometimes when it's really slow and one assface is messing stuff up, I'll take the time to go out of my way to get in their way to pick up everything they're tossing/dropping. I then act like they don't even exist, and usually vent to a nearby coworker, saying things like "it's such a mess in here; people are such pigs". Sometimes I'll address the person (i.e.; "I've got one little pig in my department right now") indirectly in the vain hope of embarrassing them. I make fun of people in the way that makes it impossible for them to really complain (because technically, they don't know that I'm talking about them).

I do the same thing to shoplifters. I'm not there to babysit them, but I'm not going to tolerate thieves and pigs. They're killing our profits and that's not ok.

I'm only nice to people who don't make a mess, and who actually shop like adults. I always thank them for cleaning up after themselves, and it's really kind of sad that people need that reinforcement to have a little common sense (though sometimes, and I kid you not, I will deliberately stare at people until they correct themselves).

Pleeeeeease tell me he's trolling. There's no way someone that intelligent can be such a megadouche.

THIS.

I'm so sick of people thinking that people in the service industry are below them, or like we don't have "real jobs" (that's the worst - I hate when people say "don't you want a REAL JOB?" ... um, thanks, I have A REAL job that pays me REAL money that I pay my REAL bills with, buy REAL food with, and support A REAL LIFE with).

I feel bad for the kid who cleans the bathrooms at my store. I can't even comprehend the shiticanes that have happened in those stalls (HOW DO PEOPLE DO THESE THINGS?!). Seriously, people?! WOULD YOU SHIT ALL OVER THE WALLS OF YOUR OWN BATHROOM?!

So today I go home, prepare to have a shower and hang my towel, and as I put the toilet seat down I see that someone's poo has been shoved up the lid inside the toilet. HOW THE **** DO YOU DO THAT? Seriously, do people **** upside down? I live in a boarding house and there are some real idiots here. Weeks prior my flatmate showed me that someone had taken a crap on the bathroom floor. I was disgusted.

I agree with you, people should not deliberately make a mess. Although I'm no angel, sometimes at the supermarket I decide that I don't want something and occasionally put it somewhere near me instead of where it belongs. It's definitely laziness I'll admit that. I do however tell my mom off when she does the same at a book store or video store. I hate seeing books and dvds in the wrong place it drives me crazy, and I don't even work there! I did work at a video for 4 years as a teenager so maybe that's why.

OMG that's horrifying! One of my managers was saying that this dude in one of our other stores squatted down and took a shit on the floor in the mens' room. People were coming and going and he just didn't care, he just went on pooping. I DON'T UNDERSTAND PEOPLE.

Watching people put stuff in random places when I'm shopping drives me up the damn wall, but when I'm at work, the rage buried deep in my soul, watching on as someone messes up a huge display I've spent a lot of time on ... well, I suppose it'll come out eventually (or I'll just get so wound up that I'll die unexpectedly).

At my store, the standard procedure for the purse/bag/wallet/backpack area (tiered racks of 3 levels, parallel to one another) is as follows:

• tuck in straps/handles (if possible - when this doesn't work I usually take all of those hooligan bags and put them in one particular area)
• sorted by size (top to bottom, smallest to largest) and held in place by cheap little clip hangers

with at least 200 purses to arrange and rearrange, it burns me up to no end when someone's reaching around me, or picking at things I've just set, dropping them on the floor or hanging them up by the handles or just making a huge goddamn mess for no reason.

LIKE SERIOUSLY, BITCH? DO YOU NOT SEE ME WORKING ON THIS?!

Not only do I have to see to it that the purse area is looking good, but I'm also in charge of several aisles of shoes, as well as a long accessory wall (hats, belts, scarves, gloves, etc.) and fitting rooms.

Oh, lord, the fitting rooms .... *cries*

Hun, I worry about you getting upset, don't you find it can be really upsetting and you take your annoyance home with you? It sounds like a really stressful job and not very rewarding. Have you thought about applying for other jobs? It sounds like the pits. If I walked into a bathroom and someone was squatting for a poop on the floor I'd lose it! I'd like to rip their ******* so they will have to use nappies for the rest of their life. Some people really get enjoyment out of making life hard for others. :-/
