I happen to be chronically ill, since i was about 17. Last time i visited my specialist, and i complained about being SO tired all the time and that it depressed me, he told me, i should view my disease and myself differently. He said: "Having Crohns disease, is like being an athlete, it's top sport for the body to deal with it, it's natural for you to be so tired,...it's the... Read More »
Worse than k-mart?
I work in a high end sporting goods store, where we get some of the cheapest, bitchiest customers. Since people are still returning christmas gifts, they've been showing up with a lot of gift receipts. On the back of our receipts it clearly states that if you use one to return something you can only get store credit. Today an old lady comes into our store with her gift receipt to return some things, I tell her I can only give her store credit because we don't have proof of how the items were paid for. She gets pissed upon hearing this and doesn't understand why I cant just give her cash. So I explain the policy to her and she starts yelling at me about how this is ridiculous and we are worse than k-mart because she just returned things with a gift receipt and they gave her cash. Of course all of this goes down just in time for our store manager to be walking by, and he tells the lady that we'll give her cash and i'm wrong. So now the lady is getting her cash, the manager doesn't like that I was going along with store policy, but was making the customer angry, and now I look like an asshole for telling an old lady she's wrong. When am I going to find this awesome job, now that i've just gotten my college degree?
I used to be able to get back from lunch at 12:30 and know that there would be a fresh batch of uPick submissions to read, but now I have to actually do some work as it is not being updated everyday!!!!
Several years ago I worked with a overnight delivery company. It wasn't unusual to run into all sorts of dogs when you made a delivery (including nasty ones.) One day, I walked up to a lady's house where the front door was open. As soon as I rang the bell, I heard the jingle of dog tags & realized I was too far away from the vehicle to get back there in time, so I braced myself.... Read More »
I work at Wal-Mart as a Wireless Sales Associate (basically electronics), and we have this one reoccurring older African-American customer who comes in with the assumption that we are some type of IT or Geek Squad. Well anyways, he comes in about a week ago, and brings his laptop. The laptop that he has is a Compact with Windows XP (a bit outdated I must say). Anyways, he pulls... Read More »
I work private security, we have lately been having a lot of issues with access control and breaches (people not allowed to be there, being there.) so we have one officer who is in charge of training all of the officers in proper breach control. During his breach test, he failed and got a slap on the wrist. During mine, I passed but I missed a minor detail and got written up and... Read More »
