Had a guy yell at me last night. 😆
He was a tall, heavyset , grumpy ass old fart. He said "hey, hey, you work here?" (I was nice and said yes, despite wearing an obvious bright orange apron). He continues."Does anyone work here!" While dramatically throwing his arms up in the air, in the middle of the main aisle.
Oh, ok, it's like that now. I'm a bit of a giant and in shape, and I used to be fairly scrappy. I don't get intimidated. Man, I really wanted to belt that guy. I was telling him, I'll get him an associate for plumbing, what aisle are you needing help in? He screams "PLUMBING!!!" Bahaha, yeah I turned my back as I was tired, it was end of shift and it's just not that serious. I tapped my buddy in plumbing and he went to help him, he calmed tf down.
Customers that lurk, we are people, too. We deal with a lot of angry, anxious, freaked out or just plain freaky weird customers all day long, 5 days a week, all while trying to keep a smile on our faces and help them with their problems. Well, some of us do.
You can be all the others, just don't be this guy.
