Shop Talk
Great way to start your day.
I was opening the store today, and about 20 min before we opend there was a guy outside staring in throgh the gate, then through the window, then trying the door. I waited about 10 min in the back room till he left, and then went outside to have a cigarette. As soon as I get out side I see him, practically running out of the mall to come talk to me. I reach in my pocket to lock the door and walk to my car but I realize I left my keys inside DAMMIT! I have to help him.
"What time do you open?"
I point to the "Sore Hours" sign posted on the door he tried to open twice.
"Oh, well mabey you can answer a question?"
"Do I have a choice?"

"Your voicemail was upgraded, press and hold 1 a...

I started my day in the same manner a few weeks ago. This woman was having trouble with her voicemail and, after opening our doors early, i showed her how to press and hold one, then listen...she became very frustrated and when i asked her if she understood what to do she said, "NO, And F*** you for making me feel like an idiot- i'll have you fired." (aren't you an idiot if you cannot access your voicemail after someone who has shown you how to do it and even written it on a piece of paper?) She proceeded to walk around the store and tell each of the other reps what an idiot she thought i was. Later that week she called my manager and told him "I understand that i am not smart, but she made me feel stupid, so i cussed her and i want her fir...

I used to work at this book/music/video store that also had a coffee shop in it. Now the Book/Music/Video portion of the store does not open until 10 am, however the coffee shop they open at 5 am (I pity the coffee shop people who open, I would shoot myself) but the coffee shop is technically in the store (though there is a little side door that lets people in) and is only separated from the main body of the store by a couple of shoulder-high book shelves and in some places just a pull-across cloth ribbon thing. I used to work the open shift for the book section which was (unfortunately) right next to the coffee shop. We would come in at 9 am to do all the things needed to open the book section, turn on lights, put out new stock, fire up ...

The best ones are when someone calls and you answer the phone and the ask "Are you open yet?".
No. I am just here to answer the phone for idiots like you that call.
No. This is a recording just to throw you off.
Sometimes I wonder..........

"Can I speak to your manager?"
"Hi."
"I have a problem."
"So do I."
"Can you help me?"
"No."
"I thought you were the manager?"
"I am."
"Then why can't you help me?"
"Because I don't know the problem."
"Oh... Well, I'll be back later then."
