Worst thing:

Woman and a small child with a mini chocolate muffin.

Child takes chocolate muffin and CRUMBLES IT ON HIS CHAIR
THEN CRUMBLES IT ON THE GROUND

WOMAN LOOKS AT HIM, LAUGHS, AND DOES NOTHING. SAYS NOTHING.

That's why I don't want children, too scared it'll make me an idiot.

GOD DAMMIT

There's an ATM where I work, and about once a month, somebody comes up and says "Your ATM is broken." So I go out there with them and show them that they're just putting their card in the wrong way and can't follow the image of a credit card right next to the slot.

Well, at least there wasn't "chocolate" on the tank, bowl, floor and wall in the bathroom. Until yesterday I didn't know it was possible to miss that badly >_>

I have to think it was intentional. I hope karma gets whoever caused this mess which I HAD TO CLEAN.

We had one incident with "chocolate" on the ceiling when I worked at a bookstore.

I will never understand how or why that happened.

In fact, that store had an enormous number of incidents like that. Ugh.

I watched the same thing happen when I worked at the bookstore. Mom bought the kid a muffin and went over to the kids' section. He then crumbled the muffin all over the toy train table that we had set up there for kids to play with, and even stuffed some muffin into the train cars and nooks and crannies of the table.

Meanwhile, Mom was clipping her disgusting toenails and ended up just leaving them on the floor after staying in the store 10 minutes past closing time.

I hate retail.

I worked at walmart, so there were incidents like that happening a lot. The worst part is that it was usually in the girl's bathroom.

Well I guess in a way that's good for me because I never really had to see it. But hearing about it was still pretty god damn terrible.

I ask "do you work here" sometimes when I can't really tell if it's an employee or not and I don't want to ask some random black dude which aisle the olive oil is in.

I get this all the time while wearing uniforms for completely unrelated jobs

I've definitely done a couple of these. Mostly, not responding the way they want to greetings. Damnit, I'm an introverted nerd with bad hearing in one ear. If I actually do hear you (not guaranteed with my hearing) don't expect more than a nervous blushing "hi" when you ask "hi, how are you?"

I usually just stared at them while imagining them being murdered in the goriest fashion possible

I guess it only really applies to me since my clientele is old and thus really forgetful, but it happens often.

I work as a cashier at Wal-Mart, and honestly, it's not that bad. Some days are pretty terrible, but most days are actually quite decent. Still though, almost every one of these pictures is 100% true, especially "IT MUST BE FREE TODAY" and "Hi, how are you? *SILENCE*"

Some of my favorite stories:

-One time, a customer decided not to buy a vibrator. Her brilliant idea: leave it in the candy section in my co-worker's line. Y'know, where all the kids can see it.

-I asked this one guy "How are you today?" His response: "I'm high, but I'm trying to conceal it." A++ effort, man.

-Yesterday, we started having our Valentine's Day sales, but many of the items were still ringing up at full price. I was still able to fix the prices so that they'd be 50% off, though, but one of my customers couldn't wrap her head around that.

Her: "IT SAID IT RANG UP AS $1.97."
Me: "I fixed it for ya, though! I re-scanned it, and changed it to the sale price."
Her: "I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE LESS THOUGH."
Me: "How much did you think it was going to be?"
Her: "97 CENTS."
Me: "That's the price I set it to."
Her: "WELL, I'M GONNA GO BACK AND DOUBLE-CHECK THE PRICE, THAT'S NOT RIGHT."

That conversation happened three times during the transaction, IIRC. >_>

-A woman and her son came through my line once. The kid appeared to be about four years old, and he was kind of upset. He was crying a little, but was actually pretty quiet, and wasn't making much of a ruckus. All of a sudden, though, this 50-year-old man gets RIGHT IN HIS FACE and makes a fake, loud crying noise. He then walked away without saying a word to me or the mother.

We were stunned for a good 30 seconds. Then I asked: "Did you... uh, know that guy?" She said no. We all proceeded to lol hard, and she told her son: "That's what you get for crying!"

Hey, you ever coming back?
You kidding? I am Queens Boulevard.

I work at a movie theater, and at least 70% of these things still apply.



This. SOOO much. Usually happens when I'm re-stocking for the next rush, and then when the next rush comes in, we need more of the stuff I was trying to re-stock.



Only happens with one manager, but rather than play solitaire, he looks for ways to take credit for your work -- while writing you up for not doing it. I have no idea why he still has a job.

EDIT:

Here's one I haven't seen yet:

Customer comes in with competitor's gift card.
Customer says to try it anyway, register says it's invalid.
Customer accuses us of false advertising, notes that the competitor's card says it's good at "all theaters."
Manager takes the customer aside because the line is backing up.
It keeps happening.
