When did "customer service" become "bend over backwards?"

Probably about when the foolish notion that "the customer is always right" got popular.

I gotta tell you, the customer is NOT always right. In fact most of the time the customer is wrong, as evidenced by this topic.

Another little thing that bugs me is when someone doesn't take their cart or basket back to the porch for others to use, or follow my instructions to put their hand basket at the front of the cash instead, just laying it wherever thinking that is where it goes.

They are already heading back through the front exit, why not put their carts back where it belongs if they aren't going to put it in the cart corral? Also leaving carts wherever, and I mean WHEREVER. On the lawn, in the middle of the parking lot where it can hit other cars, or jamming it in a cart corral when there is no space, instead of taking it back into the store. We can't be out there 24/7 grabbing carts, we have other duties to do to.....

To go along with that, if you've worked in a supermarket as a cashier, and they drag their cart in front of your cash, unload their stuff and leave the cart in front of your cash so no one can put their stuff on the conveyor belt, its so frustrating.

"Which of these shoes do you have in a 11?"

Like bitch am I supposed to remember our entire inventory. Tell me what shoe and I will go look.

I get this a lot, the store is huge and we get new merchandise every day. Customers will always ask me where some obscure product is and I'm expected to know where every little thing is
