Well I know we are supposed to do like 5 blogs a week. So this next post I will write about why how sick I am of... people, basically...
Ok, so I work at Target, and it started out pretty good. (I've been there for 3 years!) However, people can be sooo crazy. I work at guest service and I have come to realize that people really believe that I am supposed to go through hell and high water to get them whatever they want! It's not Burger King, and no you can't always have it your way! (And it is not Wal Mart either. So I just looove when people say "Well Wal Mart does this..." Okay so! Go to Wal Mart then!)
Like today, this lady calls up to the store and says that she left a bag of cat litter outside in a basket. When someone accidently leaves something at a cash register it's not a problem; they can get the item or their money back. But she had already left out the store. (I feel like you have to be responsible for your own stuff at some point--like when you leave the store.) Anyway, no one had turned it in, and I even had the cart attendant to look outside. This lady was really upset about leaving her stuff, and she really expected me to solve her problem. Our conversation went a little something like this...
me: Well mam, no one turned it in, and the cart attendant says he hasn't seen it and he has been bringing in carts all afternoon.
crazy lady: okay... well...
me: mam?
crazy lady: well what are you gonna do, because I would hate to just be out of my money.
me: Well, are you sure you left it outside?
crazy lady: Yes, I am sure.
me: Okay, well since you left out of the store with it I am not sure there is anything we can do.
crazy lady: Oh there is something you can do. You can either give me my cat food or my money.
At this point I just went to get a manager and let him talk to her, because I could tell she was getting a little crazy. I don't know. Maybe it's just me. Am I the only one who thinks that grown people should be more self relient and not demand that the rest of the world compensate for their mistakes??
This is just a small incident. I only posted it because it just happened today. But I have plenty of stories about crazy people at Target that have come up to guest service and done everyhing: yell, scream, make demands, tell me how to do my job, call me a liar, curse like a sailor, call other employees (like my manager) all kinds of "bitch"s and "ho"s. It's crazy...

Right there with you...dealing with people while working in retail is a challenge, to say the least
AH!!! So, you're not going to bring my kitty litter to class next Tuesday? I'm really disappointed in you.
Preach it, girl! I used to work at Finish Line and people did things like that all of the time. It never gets better either (sorry!). But I'm sure you've realized that after working there for three years. It's led me to the conclusion that the average person is an idiot.
Some people are just so lazy....
It's disgusting.
I once got punched in the chest by a rich-looking soccer-mom with six kids behind her because she didn't get the table she wanted at a freaking Chili's!!! UGH. Those burgers aren't THAT good!
Haha, I hate the Paradiso because it's really expensive >-< and there are a lot of slutty 13-14 year olds that hang around...it just bothers me to see these girls running around with their boyfriends that look like they're 7. (My sister's one, that's why.)
Inconsiderate. That's all I can say. I wish I could speak my mind to that crazy lady because she probably would never call back. It's time for people to take reponsibilty for their actions. If the crazy lady is too absent-minded to make sure she has everything, then she deserves to lose money. And Merry Christmas to whomever got the free kitty litter.
Yeah, working in sales and stuff basically SUCKS! I know how you feel. Worked at abercrombie 9 months.
