10 Things Employees Think When Dealing With Customers.

Sometimes I just want to say what's on my mind to them, but then I would be unemployed and wouldn't be able to support my dog.

10 Things Employees Think When Dealing With Customers.

I have worked in retail for quit some time now. Most days I like working, other days not so much. A majority of the time it has to do with the customers. Sometimes I just want to say what's on my mind to them, but then I would be unemployed and wouldn't be able to support my dog.

Here is 10 things employees think when dealing with customers:


1. "If it doesn't scan, it must be free"

Please. As if I didn't here that one 10 times today. No. It's NOT free.

2."I would like to speak to your manager".

Sure. Just know that they are going to tell you the SAME exact thing I just told you, but whatever its cool.

3. The Store closes at 11:00pm, but customer walks in store at 10:59pm.

Great. We close in 1 minute, what do you possibly need at 11 at night? I have worked all day, now I have to stay open for you to get your gallon of milk and a puzzle. Go home.

4."Why can't you just use my expired coupon? That's not fair!"

Why? Not fair? ITS EXPIRED! Like, I'm sorry that the system won't take your year old coupon. What's not fair is that you are holding up the line for .50 off your order.

5."Can't you just beat the system and give me the discount/coupon?"

Yeah sure, let me break the rules, beat the system, get yelled at, loose my job, and be unemployed, because it really looks like you need to save that $1.50 on that $200 dollar order. Don't worry, I'll loose my job and my dog will starve, no big deal.

6."I'm NEVER shopping here again!"

Oh no. Really? Please. No. Come back. Now how will I go on with my 8 hour shift knowing you won't come back here, EVER. Now I'm sad. Just kidding, glad your not coming back. Good riddance!

7."I'm so tired, I can barley walk anymore, I've been shopping all day."

Oh really? Tell me more about how tired you are from shopping as I'm going on my fifth hour of work with 5 more to go. Please continue to tell me how hard your life is.

8.*Greets customer* "Hi! How are you?" *ignore employee*

OK. That's cool. I'll just act as if I didn't ask you a question and try not to feel like an idiot. Whatever I guess. Rude.

9."NO. Do not ask me if I want to open a credit card, do I look like I want one?"

Bro. I'm just doing my JOB. The job description clearly states "ask if they want to open a credit card". Don't get mad at me because YOU have bad credit. Ridiculous.

10.*Explains the same thing to the customer 10 times and they STILL don't understand*

I need to know, how do you not understand? No, the coupon doesn't work. No, the jeans are not on sale. No, I can not personally lower the prices to make you happy. Stupidity, pure stupidity.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
