No You Shutup Please!

This post is for anyone who has ever worked in the customer service biz. And for those of you reading this who have never worked in some sort of customer service maybe you should take some notes so you know what NOT to do next time you walk into a store. I've been working in the service industry in one form or another for almost 4 years. In those 4 years I have learned one very important thing... people, in general, are stupid creatures! It's true! (now if some of you take offence to this, it's probably because you are one of those idiotic people I complain about, so instead of being insulted, pull your head out of your rear end and continue reading!!!) For the most part when people need assisstance with something at work I am more than willing to help, I mean that is what I'm there for, however, if you insist on calling me over to help you with a whistle, snap, or calling me "girl", you will be lucky if I don't pull out my utility knife and cut you! I am not a dog, I don't respond to whistles or snaps, and my name is not "girl", it's Rebecca, and it is clearly printed on the name tag that I detest wearing.
Now I also understand that it is hard to find a babysitter every time you go shopping, I really do, but if you insist on bringing your children out into public keep them under control! Don't let them run around screaming, if they have to go to the bathroom, find them a bathroom so they don't urinate on the floor (oh, it's happened). The best however is when the kids are behind your counter messing around with your til and scanner and the incompetent mother is standing right there watching, yet doing nothing. Oh wait it get's better, and when you try to stop the child, she yells at you!!!!! Now if this happens you will be lucky if I don't throw you and your hellion child into the dumpster behind the store. (also known as the customer complaint office)
And finally (my personal favourite) if it is 3 or 4 minutes before a store is about to close, don't come into a clothing store and start trying things on, and don't come into a video store and ask for a new membership. The people that work at these places, DO HAVE LIVES outside the store!!! Just because you only see them at work doesn't mean they live there and love being there 24-7. Do you sleep on your desk at work? No? I didn't think so. We are people too, and we probably have plans to go out with friends or sleep or study after work, so don't keep us at work longer than we have to be.
Now if you realize that you are one of these ridiculously stupid people, I beg you, change your ways before you end up in a dark back alley with utility knife cuts and smelling like garbage.
Well, til next time!
