You never really know people until you work in retail. Every day you meet someone new, have a new situation or even start seeing regulars. Either way, there is a solid ten customers that you will see at least once.

Or twice.

Or four times a day.

Ya know.

Can't get enough of em.

1. The "Can I speak to a manager?" customer

These are the ones you really have to just take a deep breath and call the manager. You've told them 100,000 times that your store policy is this or that, but they still want you to change it. You can tell they just can't stand you at all, and a written complaint is coming your way just because you were doing your job.

The worst part is if the manager does really override what you just said you couldn't do. Then when you're doing it, they literally have the evilest grin, like a 5-year-old getting their way. If they say yes, they walk away and hit you with the "I'm never shopping here again." #SeeYouNextWeekendBoo

2. The crazy returns customer

Man oh man, these are the best ones yet. Honestly. The most entertaining. HOW DO YOU HAVE A RECENT FOR SOMETHING YOU BOUGHT IN 1999? Then they are so shook that it is too old. You honestly just have to salute them at some point, because of how long they held on to it.

Then you get the returns of something they obviously used. Half empty shampoo bottles. Half a can of mayo. You name it. I've probably seen it. No joke.

3. The cellphone customer

Ok, I get it. People are busy. PLEASE TAKE THIRTY SECONDS FOR ME TO ASK HOW CAN I HELP YOU BEFORE TALKING ON THE PHONE. These customers are the ones that will literally stand there finishing their conversation before telling you what they need. Everyone behind them is pissed off and you're just smiling but on the inside, you want to scream.

4. The Super-Friendly Elders

Look, I don't know why old people are so friendly but they literally can make your day. They talk your ear off but compliment you every two sentences telling you how sweet or how cute you are. You just want to to take them home. IF YOU HAVE A LINE THOUGH, THEY DO NOT CARE. SO RIP TO ANY MORE NICE PEOPLE. Then you get the older men or women who flirt with you and swear to you that they are 20 and not 200. It's the cutest thing ever.

Let's just make retail for elders only.

5. The "I trust you but let me double check" customer

Man oh, man.

These are the customers that are so passive aggressive in every way. You'll be ringing something up, and then they will ask to see what you scanned to make sure nothing went twice.

You'll be giving them cash back and they will recount it four thousand times to make sure you aren't wrong. "Just double checking." Even after you just counted it three times in front of them even on the counter.

6. Oh, that doesn't go there

Zones are where you have to go through and straighten up the aisles, and basically pick up the stuff that people throw anywhere.

Oh, look, a toaster strudel in a shoe. Cream cheese in a dresser. A bouncy ball in the milk. A pillow with the cereal boxes.

Oh. Ok. Thanks. Always wanted that.

P.S. We always catch you. We are judging.

7. The "Its a bad day" everyday customer

These are the customers that suck. No matter how friendly you are, they just hit you with "the look". Then after 5 awkward minutes of you trying to be nice and make conversation, they tell you "sorry, it's a bad day." AKA "please shut up".

Then you'll see them again, about a week later, and surprise surprise, same situation.

again. and again. and again.

Or they come up to you ranting all the time, about their crazy daughter in law doing their son wrong, and how much he "needs to divorce that b*%&". These are actually pretty funny sometimes, and their insults for other people are hilarious. I've actually taken a couple of insults from these customers.

Just beware. Don't get on the bad side.

If you get this look, stop talking.

8. The "Can you check the price on this?" customer

These are the customers that are delusion most of the time.

*Item rings up 17.98*

"Oh no, on the shelf it said $2.00"

Then you go check the shelf, and you see the item says the seventeen dollar price, but the travel size says $2, so you take that to the customer and explain it to them.

"Whatever. Give me the bigger one."

This happens a dozen times a day. There are some times when the price is wrong, for sure. But most of the time, the customer just wants to argue.

9. The callers who want you to do their shopping for them

OK, I get it. Sometimes you want to know if someone has something before you go to the store. No problem. But these are the customers that call every single day.

"do you have this or this? How much is it? Ca you hold it for me?"

No, ma'am. Come to the store. You were going too anyways. Lol. They literally have you run around shopping for them over the phone. Oh, don't worry. I don't have another job to be doing. Let me shop for you. Thank the lord for curbside pickup.
