Thanks. I've worked in retail before, so trust me, I know all about that to well! One time this rude guy called me retarded at Macy's for not knowing where a certain department was when I was new. I felt like slapping him, but I had to just sit there and take it, ugh! I thought of another genius idea of how to get rid of a customer who won't shut up. Lines will be long for sure during the holidays, so if that happens, and it probably will, I'll just say, I'd like to talk to you more, but as you can see, the line is really long, and I can see that a few customers are getting irritated. Then say sorry and Happy Holidays, lol! Pure genius, huh? Or if I'm on the floor, I won't encourage conversation if they blab about their personal issues. I'll just say aha, so, how do you like this color? LOL! Or I'll pretend that I have to use the restroom and hope that they leave or find someone else to bug, ha ha!!!! |

Thanks for your advice. I'll try my best. I'll also try not to ask that one lady to many questions. Hopefully the other managers there will be cooler and more willing to train employees and answer questions w/o getting annoyed. If that happens though, I do have another genius plan, only ask each one two or three questions at a time, lol! Divide and conquer, lol! I will be certain to brush up on how to deal with difficult people, managers, coworkers, and customers of course. I won't ever take anything personally. And I sure as hell won't talk about my personal issues with anyone or get involved in silly drama or gossip. I'll flat out ignore it and leave if I have to and claim to be busy, lol! That way I get my message across w/o being rude! lol! I can't show any weakness there as anyone who's a bully will then maybe try to target me like I was at Walmart. I can't react. I have finally learned my lesson. Don't react to bullies or mean people. Stay calm and cool, but if they get to be abusive, then that's when I'll have to ask a manager for help. Hopefully no one will give me any crap there. Sadly, this company doesn't give any employees f/t hours. Not even the managers get f/t hours most of the time. Hopefully they'll at least give me decent hours and eventual pay raises sooner or later. |

Thanks again! I'll definitely show up early everyday and be reliable! And like I said, I'll stay out of the drama and keep my personal life to myself! I won't rat anyone else out either unless they're being abusive or something like that. I'll be nice and polite to everyone even if I don't particularly like them that much. I won't complain about customers or much of anything either. |

You'll be fine. Sounds like you know what you need to be successful.

No, I'm not sadly. What I meant to say is that IF a customer is in line and holding up that line, especially if I'm the only cashier there at the time, then for them to sit there and go on and on about their life is just plain rude and unfair to the other people in line. I'll listen to them talk ONLY if I'm NOT busy. IF I am busy, then my time is limited and they can't expect me to sit there and listen to them all day. If they don't get that, then they are obviously selfish people. In that case, and only in that case I'll have to make some excuse to either be busy or that I need to go on break if I haven't yet, go to the bathroom, whatever. Dealing with the public is not easy at times. Anyone who has ever worked in retail or as a waiter or waitress knows what I'm talking about. Ever had someone just talk your ears off at work when you were busy or not interested in what they had to say? Well, I can only take so much. I'll try my best to always be polite though but not encourage some lonely person who has no one else to talk to. If someone is that desperate to talk to someone, then they should join some social group. I don't mean to sound mean, but some people talk way, way to much and they don't seem to care if they're holding up a line or whatever. My mom is one of those people. She used to talk about all her personal issues and then when some poor sales lady wasted a lot of time on her, she'd refuse to buy some of the stuff they tried to sell her and say, it's OK, next time. Ugh! If they were persuasive and acted like they cared though, she'd often buy stuff she didn't really need. See what I'm saying now? |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
