10 Things Employees Think When Dealing With Customers.

Sometimes I just want to say what's on my mind to them, but then I would be unemployed and wouldn't be able to support my dog.

I have worked in retail for quit some time now. Most days I like working, other days not so much. A majority of the time it has to do with the customers. Sometimes I just want to say what's on my mind to them, but then I would be unemployed and wouldn't be able to support my dog.

Here is 10 things employees think when dealing with customers:


1. "If it doesn't scan, it must be free"

Please. As if I didn't here that one 10 times today. No. It's NOT free.

2."I would like to speak to your manager".

Sure. Just know that they are going to tell you the SAME exact thing I just told you, but whatever its cool.

3. The Store closes at 11:00pm, but customer walks in store at 10:59pm.

Great. We close in 1 minute, what do you possibly need at 11 at night? I have worked all day, now I have to stay open for you to get your gallon of milk and a puzzle. Go home.

4."Why can't you just use my expired coupon? That's not fair!"

Why? Not fair? ITS EXPIRED! Like, I'm sorry that the system won't take your year old coupon. What's not fair is that you are holding up the line for .50 off your order.

5."Can't you just beat the system and give me the discount/coupon?"

Yeah sure, let me break the rules, beat the system, get yelled at, loose my job, and be unemployed, because it really looks like you need to save that $1.50 on that $200 dollar order. Don't worry, I'll loose my job and my dog will starve, no big deal.

6."I'm NEVER shopping here again!"

Oh no. Really? Please. No. Come back. Now how will I go on with my 8 hour shift knowing you won't come back here, EVER. Now I'm sad. Just kidding, glad your not coming back. Good riddance!

7."I'm so tired, I can barley walk anymore, I've been shopping all day."

Oh really? Tell me more about how tired you are from shopping as I'm going on my fifth hour of work with 5 more to go. Please continue to tell me how hard your life is.

8.*Greets customer* "Hi! How are you?" *ignore employee*

OK. That's cool. I'll just act as if I didn't ask you a question and try not to feel like an idiot. Whatever I guess. Rude.

9."NO. Do not ask me if I want to open a credit card, do I look like I want one?"

Bro. I'm just doing my JOB. The job description clearly states "ask if they want to open a credit card". Don't get mad at me because YOU have bad credit. Ridiculous.

10.*Explains the same thing to the customer 10 times and they STILL don't understand*

I need to know, how do you not understand? No, the coupon doesn't work. No, the jeans are not on sale. No, I can not personally lower the prices to make you happy. Stupidity, pure stupidity.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
