It's Politically Incorrect to get annoyed at RETAIL customers However.............. There are days when I have to take a deep breath and quietly count to ten. Tuesday is a challenging day for me. My co-worker has physical challenges which generally makes more work for me because I have to do his job AND my job. I am usually very rushed that day. I was in the back making a cardboard bale when I heard the call. "Produce for line 2." I went to answer the call hoping that it would be a quick call. The Baler is not something I want to leave open for long. "How much are the Vegetable Trays?" the customer asks. "Nine dollars and some change," I answered. "What about the Fruit Trays?" she asked. "Ten Dollars and some change unless you buy the smaller one which is about Eight dollars?" I replied. "What is in them?" Celery, Tomatoes, cauliflower, Peppers, Ad Infintim. "How many people will it serve?" It depends on what you consider a serving. "What is the EXACT Price?" the customer demands. Ma'am - I am in the back - and I would have to run to the front to get the EXACT price. It would require more time than either of us have. "I've got lots of time, I'm on Vacation and MAYBE they just have the wrong person for the job," the customer replies. I take a deep breath, count to ten, and tell the customer that the EXACT price is $9.42 for the Vegetable trays and $10.27 for the Fruit Trays. Also there is a Special on Bananas for $1.09. I thanked for - Hung up the phone and finished making the bale while visualizing put her in the bale. So Friday she will come into the Store. The Vegetable Tray will be $9.47 and the price of the banana will be raised to $1.47. Life goes on and so do Annoying Customers  Abracadabra  |
