    The customer is always a right asshole

  2. i_@m_#1 says:

    Oh, my God. Ihave worked at a grocery store as a cashier. Customers would go off for the stupidest crap! Whoever made this graph jam is my hero for the day!

  3. Lilithtn says:

    Oh, it is not just retail. It’s customer service, too.

    • Nightlyeclipse says:

      I’ve worked in both and I completely agree with you! That’s why I make it a point never to treat people in retail or customer service like that. I always clean up after myself in fitting rooms, I’ll hang clothes back on racks that have fallen, I’ll pick miscellaneous items up that have fallen or been knocked off racks, I leave big tips (bc I’ve waitressed too), and if I’m calling about a problem with something I never rant and rave to the person on the line. Honestly, some people act ridiculous in some of these places.

      Working in a lingerie department was the most interesting. People would get mad a ME for items they’ve tried on not fitting right! Pick a larger size, Honey, or go on a diet.

  4. Alex says:

    Actual words spoken to me while in manager training at my local supermarket many years ago: “We tell the majority of our employees “The customer is always right.” Now as managers, you have to realize that the customer is always right….unless, of course, they’re wrong.”

  5. ladykitteh says:

    This is so true! The customers in the clothing store I work at are terrible and often downright petty. Honestly, who put clothes back on the hanger inside out after trying it on? And if you can’t remember where in the store you got an article from, just hang it on the fitting room clothes rack, don’t just dump it anywhere “because we get paid to clean up after you”!
    [/rant]

    • statisticallyspeaking says:

      For real! I worked in retail during college and only survived 3 months because the customers were so HORRIBLE. It really opened my eyes to what store clerks have to go through. Even though that was years ago, I make it a point to not make a mess and will even pick up after friends/family (and make sure they understand why!) because the employees are definitely not getting paid enough to get treated like trash.

      • Matt says:

        maybe they where rude because you where stupid like every clerk I come in contact with every day. Bunch of morons.

        • Emmy says:

          I worked in a clothing store for 3 months too, and quit because it downright sucked.
          I was, too, shocked how people just turn a pile upside down looking for their size while you are right next to them asking them “Can I help you find the right size?”. “NOPE, I’m fine -turns pile upside down-”

          I always still pick up clothes that people drop on the floor -when they bump in to a rack and stuff falls off-.. I still don’t understand why people don’t pick it up when it’s their fault.. :S

          • Nagged hubby says:

            Moron… that’s your JOB. It’s called JOB SECURITY. Duh.

            Fu(king whiners.

            • ladykitteh says:

              It’s called common sense and manners to pick something up when you drop it. Our job is not to clean up after your ass.

              • Nagged hubby says:

                Yes it is. Do your job and STFU or else quit.

                • Nagged hubby says:

                  Simple solution… find another job. Whiner.

                  • Nagged hubby says:

                    How would you know what my actions are? I do all my shopping online, and this is why.

                    Vicious cycle, people. You act like an asshole, I quit shopping in your retail outlet, there’s less need for you as an employee, you lose your job, the community loses its retail outlet, you spend even more time in your mom’s basement.

                    Apparently you’re too stupid to follow the logic here.

                    • conte de fees says:

                      you’re assuming that the people who aren’t happy with their retail job are assholes to the customers. I worked in retail for a few months to help pay for college, and I saw honestly nice employees being treated terribly by the customers who do indeed act as if they are always right.

                      I once had a customer pick a fight with me over the interpretation of the sign declaring “80% off!” I told her very politely what it meant, but she insisted on being obnoxious and demanded to speak to a manager who told her, in exactly the same words as mine, the same exact thing. Wow.

                      Also, your assumption that retail workers live in their mom’s basement is COMPLETELY the opposite. No one I worked with lived with their parents. Most work retail as a second source of income, and many are young, single parents, college students, or middle-aged workers looking to supplement their income.

                      There’s no need to be an ass to someone because of how they choose to earn money. People are people, and you should be considerate of them IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE

                    • Nagged hubby says:

                      Stereotypes exist for a reason.

                      “Can’t we all just get along…”

                      *cue weeping*

                    • strangemagic1 says:

                      Trust me when I say that your kind is not missed and a huge sigh of relief could be heard thruout the land when you announced you do your shopping online…
                      And there are ways to deal with people like you so that it’s a huge pain in your ass and there’s not a thing you can do about it Jr….

                    • Nagged hubby says:

                      That echo you hear is the sound of your sighing in relief in an empty store. Have fun with that unemploymentality, moron.

                    • strangemagic1 says:

                      Haven’t been unemployed in years and I absolutely love having the chance to put people like you in your place. But I’m willing to bet you only act this bad when you have a keyboard in front of you.
                      You would not be able to get away with it in very many stores…You’d be the one who gets bounced of the store and then says “They better be glad I didn’t get really mad or I’d have (insert moronic action here)”
                      Keep it up Jr. You provide entertainment value

                    • Nagged hubby says:

                      Dance, little retail peon, dance.

                    • Huh? says:

                      INTERNET TOUGH GUY

                    • Nagged hubby says:

                      Thanks for noticing. Much appreciated.

                    • wowaname says:

                      Apparently you are!

                    • Nagged hubby says:

                      Apparently you’re twat!

                    • Nagged hubby says:

                      Hee hee another smock-jock joins the fray.

                      Huffing carbon monoxide from mommy’s basement furnace, I see. Can’t afford a sniffer?

            • Paul says:

              In case anyone doubted the graph’s message, here is it in plain black and white.

              Apparently if you’re an inept lazy-ass moron, you’re providing “job security”.

              • Nagged hubby says:

                In one. Why would the store need you there otherwise?
                You’re not selling us clothes or being helpful in any way — you’re merely an annoyance.

                • conte de fees says:

                  wrong again. The people who pick up after you have PLENTY to do besides cleaning up your messes. A fitting room attendent (not even the sales clerks) has to do these things:

                  1) Clean up the fitting rooms by putting everything back on a hanger and taking them out of the rooms
                  2) Organizing the clothes and putting them back in the appropriate section
                  3) Maintain the order of the store by going through the clothes rack and making sure everything is in its correct place and straightened and organized by size

                  They will also frequently help with mark-downs and retagging returned items. All things that they would still have to do even if people stopped making messes all over the store. Retail workers have PLENTY of job security.

                  • Nagged hubby says:

                    You’re wrong. CUSTOMERS DON’T CARE!

                    It’s your job. Cope or quit.

                    • Adrian says:

                      I’m guessing the reason why that you’re a “nagged” hubby is because you treat your poor wife the way you treat people in the stores. Hopefully she gets fed up with your worthless ass and “quits” you for a better “job” elswhere where the new “customer” appreciates her.

                      • Nagged hubby says:

                        Nice work! Stayed up all night thinking of that one, didn’tcha?

                        • Tom says:

                          Well it was pretty good, and i think thats the most original comeback i have ever heard

                        • Nagged hubby says:

                          Don’t like that comeback? Well, how about this one:

                          You’re a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a putrefaction, a big suck on a sour lemon with a lime twist. You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in regret for what they had done.

                          Better?

            • strangemagic1 says:

              Nagged Hubby…Some of these whiners should come sailing over the counter and kick your ass up around your ears so that you’d have to cough to fart…

              • Nagged hubby says:

                Bring it.

                Owait, you’re just a fart in the wind.

                Next.

                • strangemagic1 says:

                  That’d be no problem Jr. If you came into my store and abused my staff or acted like a crotch dropping I would bounce you into the nearest dumpster….Feel free to keep it up, keyboard commando.

                  • Nagged hubby says:

                    MY store? ROFLMAO, Billie Gates.

                    Do your job, register-jockey.

                    • strangemagic1 says:

                      Sorry Jr….But I manage a my store and my staff likes the fact that they know I will not let them be abused and have intervened every time every time a voice was even raised.
                      I’ve called the police on people like you for trespass and also physically thrown a couple out as well.
                      It would b fun to see how if you bounce or skid across the parking lot…

                      • Nagged hubby says:

                        Wow. Hit a nerve there, did I, register-jockey?

                        • strangemagic1 says:

                          nah…you don’t have what it takes to strike a nerve
                          You do have what it takes to hit the pavement after being tossed out and like I said,you provide entertainment value.
                          And it looks like your the one dancing now Jr….getting your ass handed to you by almost every other person who comments.
                          If you really do have problems in every place you go then the common denominator must be…*drum roll*…YOU!!!
                          Dismissed…

                        • Nagged hubby says:

                          Who ever said “I” had any problems? I didn’t. You assumed, because you know for a fact your attitude is as sh!tty as your face/ass.

                          My ass handed to me by whom? A minimum wage moron?

                          *pulls strings*

                        • strangemagic1 says:

                          You have demonstrated a problem from the 1st time you opened your mouth and let the idiocy spill out. So no assuming is needed.
                          And why are you pulling the strings on your tampon? The weeks not even half over and I’m sure your not even done for the day…
                          Keep coming back to get knocked down Jr…it’s fun as much fun for me to dish it out as it is for you to take it.

                        • Nagged hubby says:

                          HEEHEEE you’re so funny! This is hilarious!

                          Gotta sing, gotta dance…. keep dancin’ little wooden boy.
                          Magic fairies are coming to rescue you from mommy’s basement, clap your hands together everyone to save the precious bottom dweller…

                          :lol:

                • Huh? says:

                  Nagged Hubby is 300 pounds, he shops online cause he can’t leave his house.

        • Not Matt says:

          If every single clerk you deal with is rude, there is just one common denominator. Ever think that YOU are the jerk?

        • statisticallyspeaking says:

          You’re right, I must be stupid… never mind that I put myself through grad school (master of statistics) and now am a 27-year-old biostatistician making >$80K/year. Yep, way to peg me!

          • Nagged hubby says:

            ….founding member of MENSA, screwing Brangelina with my 13-inch pee-pee, tooling around in a 300-foot yacht….

            • statisticallyspeaking says:

              Right.

              No wonder you’re “nagged”. Not a very nice person. Eh well, good thing I don’t derive my self-worth from internet junkies!

            • strangemagic1 says:

              The only 13 inch “pee-pee” you have is on your neck. Do you pull your foreskin down from around your eyes or do you type by touch?

              • Nagged hubby says:

                I think you should STFU and do your job or quit and find something more suited to your temperament, and this is how you respond?

                Exhibit A as to why outsourcing is actually working.

                • strangemagic1 says:

                  It would be a public disservice to nor keep putting you in your place. And since your so big on the concept of having a work ethic you should appreciate that.
                  I’ll bet you picked up that work ethic from your own mother and seeing her on her knees on the 1st and 15th when it’s payday at the local military base. and I’ll also bet that “fleet week” was a bonanza in your household and you could all afford to splurge and get the pop tarts with frosting…
                  And you are also a fine job as a example of out sourcing yourself when you let them take 1 of the 2 brain cells you have working.
                  Congratulations Jr. You make us all so proud…

                  • Nagged hubby says:

                    At least my mother had enough of a work ethic to sell it.
                    Yours blew all comers for free.

                    *cues dueling banjos*

                    Keep dancing, little puppet! Yer so kewt!

                    • strangemagic1 says:

                      Speaking of hitting a nerve….Jr. It looks like your resentful that your mom didn’t include you in her cum guzzling antics
                      Nice soundtrack you’ve chosen for yourself btw…Bet it has been a favorite in your family for generations.
                      Dismissed

                      • Nagged hubby says:

                        Just wanted to provide your rearin’ music to make your dancing more pleasant.

                        Here. Let me hammer on that nerve a little more, little wooden-headed price-gun jock. Maybe if you wish hard enough you’ll become a REAL productive member of society!

                        • strangemagic1 says:

                          Been productive longer than you ever will. Feel free to come into my store and act like you do here and see if you stay in there long.
                          Bet your not even married either…”nagged hubby”…riiiiight.
                          don’t bother trying to say otherwise…You are a lier.

                        • Nagged hubby says:

                          Anger Management. You need it!

                          Keep wishing, everyone! Clap you hands!

                • bill gates says:

                  outsourcing works because people are cheap, and would rather sacrifice quality for price.

        • MLD says:

          if you’re going to call someone a moron, use proper spelling in your post to do it.

        • strangemagic1 says:

          Matt…you are worthless and I’m willing to bet you can’t even aspire to a service position let alone anything more complicated. I’m picturing a homeless man using a library computer here…

          • Nagged hubby says:

            …and you’re banging him. In the mangina.
            You twisted perv. You shouldn’t think like that. It’s wrong to enslave the homeless, you sick fawker.

            • StrangeMagic says:

              Whatever small claim you might have to being a half wit sure grew smaller than the last time you were around.You coan’t think on such grand levels….
              You can’t even make a try at coming up with your material yourself…
              Go ahead and ape some somebody elses humor that does a better job than you do…

              • Nagged hubby says:

                Coan’t? When you bang your aunt in one hole while your uncle does the other?

                :lol:

                • Nagged hubby says:

                  Hey moronica, I’m not being rude. You’re just insignificant.

                  • StrangeMagic says:

                    Again…You are the perfect customer to be rude to…You couldn’t do anything about it except to go where nobody knows you so you can mouth off…
                    And those rude retail people are laughing at you here as well…
                    Nothing you can do about it either….That’s the really funny part.

                    • Nagged hubby says:

                      Sure there is. I can choose to not patronize your retail outlet, and can tell others to do the same. You’ll lose your customer base, and resultantly, your job.

                      Who’s laughing now, smock-jock?

                      • StrangeMagic says:

                        Well…I’m still laughing and I’m doing it even more loudly now. You way overestimate your value if you think your pitiful little word of mouth campiagn would do much. And yes…I have seen just how much you can run your mouth. It still doesn’t make a difference. For every asshole ,like you, who does quit shopping,there will be two to replace you.
                        And almost 100% of the phucktards who say they are going to quitting shopping are the ones we all know we will see again in a week or so….
                        Does it piss you off to know that there are workers that will laugh at you like that?

                      • Nagged hubby says:

                        Does it piss you off that you failed so hard at life you’re sporting a BEA-UU-TIFUL blue apron while attempting to justify your worth as a human being on the interwebbies with someone obviously far superior in the intellect department?

                        “Clean-up, aisle FAIL.”

                        :lol:

                      • StrangeMagic says:

                        No…none of that stuff pisses me off at all. None of it is true.
                        You could try justifying as to how you really think that you have the right to act badly towards people and just what it is that you do that makes you so successful….

                      • Nagged hubby says:

                        Smock-jock is smocked.

                      • Darrell says:

                        I think you’re onto something Nagged hubby. Retail workers would be less annoyed and more happy throughout the day if you and people like you stopped shopping there, which in turn would bring more customers, hopefully not imbeciles like yourself.

    • Nagged hubby says:

      Don’t like it? QUIT. We’d appreciate it, you whiny worthless sack of crap. If you can’t be appreciative of the fact that you have a job in this economy, shut the hell up and find something else. With that attitude, I’m sure you won’t have any problems whatsoever :roll:

    Idea for a new graph: The retail worker is always:

    5% Only working through college

    95% A failure

    • ladykitteh says:

      I’d say that’s the other way around, or at least a little more balanced. The moment you’re on the other side of that counter/register, you’re suddenly “a bitter, rude, uneducated loser”, no matter what. Example: a friend of mine worked in a drugstore for years, and this one time she overheard a couple talking about her and her co-worker while they were restocking, debating whether or not to ask them about some medicine they were looking for. Her co-worker is in med school, but the couple decided that since they worked in a drugstore, they therefore know nothing about anything, and are only there to restock the shelves.

            Stankmagic, I’d suck a fart out of your ass if you had any wink of intelligence, perhaps with the thought that said fart may in some way advance my own thought. Too bad, looks like that won’t be happening. The only thing you’re advancing is the US’ descent into an inbred redneck paradise. Suck my farts.

        so let me get this straight, me having a job at a grocery store from 10th grade to 12th makes me a failure? A jobs a job. Maybe the clerk isn’t the problem… I will admit I do work with some failures, but the majority of my co workers are high school/ college students who need money. I have never been called rude, or been complained about. We aren’t your slaves

        Also, I do know quite a bit about the products in the store.

            Its ok, I hope you really don’t shop in physical stores because if you are really that thick headed someone will one day physically assault you.

            I have physically assaulted an asshole customer. Someone will kick your a$$ one day too.

            And I hope its on video.

            Ohh and yes the cops were called. And yes they arrested someone.

            THE CUSTOMER. Apparently being enough of an ass does result in begn asked to leave, refusing to leave results in calling the cops for tresspassing. getting in the clerks face results in a threat and a kick to the nuts, broken nose and two black eyes = self defense.

            Cant wait for it to happen to you.

                Unemployed? A) That was many years ago when I was indeed not only working a second job but also going to school full time to pay for said school out of pocket, well at least cover the parts scholarships didn’t cover.
                B) Unemployed? I am willing to bet I make more money than you do, but this isn’t a competition. Mr. “Oh I have replied to everyone over days on this entry” I think you may be the unemployed one.

                Just giving your kind a heads up. Store clerks are human, which means they freak out too. If you were in your yard and someone came up and started yelling at you and you told them to leave and they got in your face and threatened you and you hit them, depending on your record (which ill assume yours is pretty bad) and how ‘threatened’ you felt (oh noes im just a little girl! and hes a big man!) Physically forcing him to leave would not be assualt and the other one could be charged. Just in case you really thought I was lying.

  13. Snommelp says:

    Funny how easy it is to tell which people here have worked in a service-type industry…

    In high school I worked at a fast food restaurant. Right around closing time, when there were no customers, I’d start mopping the areas that nobody would have any reason to walk over in the near future. But then, five minutes to closing, a group of ten or more would walk in, none of them knowing what they wanted to eat, all of them wandering aimlessly around the shop, seeming to seek out the corners where I had mopped.

    In college, I worked at the campus post office. Don’t even get me started on the idiots you run into there.

    • Reika says:

      Retail and fast food resteraunts seem to be magnets for idiots. My mom used to be an employee at both, and boy, did she ever have horror stories!
      When she worked at Burger King, people would come up with the stupidest reasons to bitch. One time, a lady in drive thru had a coupon where you could get 2 Whoppers for $2. She couldn’t understand why she couldn’t just buy ONE Whopper for $1. She was screaming down mom’s throat. Eventually, mom just slammed the window in her face. The lady came inside and started yelling down her throat some more and yelling an explanation of what happened to the manager. The manager backed up mom, though, and the bitch finally left. No penalty to mom, either.

      • Nagged hubby says:

        Oh yeah, this explains everything :lol:

      • Snommelp says:

        Ouch… huzzah for inept customers, eh?

        There was one time that we had a customer who was talking on his cell phone the entire time he was moving through the line, as he stepped up to the counter, and for probably five minutes while standing at the counter. After those five minutes of him talking with the phone to his ear, he proceeded to scream at my coworker for ignoring him. Apparently the last thirty seconds or so he was actually trying to talk to us, without taking his phone away from his head first.

    I think the idea is that (in this case) the store closes at 11?

    No one give a d@mn in a 24 hour store.

  24. Prisbro says:

    So, does this mean that the customer is only an asshole when he/she is wrong?? I could see that, if they’re raising hell about it. But when the customer is right and has to be incredibly smug about it, they’re right back to being an asshole. You can’t win.

    • strangemagic1 says:

      Prisbo…You have it right. If they are reasonable in their approach then it’s up to the worker to try to help them and even if they are wrong it’d be a good thing to try to do everything to accomodate them…
      but if they are complete twat waffles like some of the folks above then they deserve to be shut down completely…And in some cases thrown right out…and from there…Well…that’s up to that particular douche bag as to how where they want to take it…

                          Paragon of originality, there, turbo.
                          “I know yours is but where is mine?” only works when we’re addressing the size of your *ahem* penis.

                        • StrangeMagic says:

                          Your just pissed that it is original and you didn’t find a t-shirt to rip it off from…
                          Wait until your mommy does your laundry Jr and maybe you can catch up on your readind then

                        • Nagged hubby says:

                          Original? That’s rich.

                          “Hur hur yer hed is up yer ass… hur hur.”

                          At least I had a mommy. You leaped fully fromed from the santorum abandoned by your father’s illicit consortium with Rush Limbaugh’s Thai migi-tran.

  25. Ariana says:

    I used to work at a grocery store and most of the customers were nice, but there were a lot of assholes. One time, a lady came on my line, claiming potatoes were on sale. I told her they didn’t ring up on sale, so I checked the flier to see if maybe there was a mistake. They weren’t in there, so I sent the person who was bagging groceries for me to go check. He was new and didn’t really know much. He came back and said they were on sale, but the sweet potatoes, not the regular potatoes were on sale. That didn’t matter to her because she screamed at me and demanded an apology. I did apologize because I didn’t feel like getting into a fight, but wtf was I apologizing for? Also, one time, a customer rudely asked what happened to my forehead. I have a birthmark. Very nice.

    • Paul says:

      That’s a fairly typical story (the potato one). Several times I’ve been a customer in a store in which some moron was abusing the workers. In one case I told the customer to shut up and get out (as a customer, I’m allowed to do that). In two other cases when the morons threatened to talk to the manager, I wrote short letters to the managers explaining that the workers were right, and had in fact handled the situation well. In one of those cases I also added that if a particular worker were reprimanded, I’d make a big stink about it myself. Since I write well and the angry morons who make these kinds of scenes don’t, you can bet I win each time.

  26. iraqvet says:

    I’ve noticed lately that customers are treated like assholes (at least in my case many times) because the employee feels like we are making them go out of their way to do what they are there to do.
    Me – “E’cuse me… can I get a copy of my records?’
    Records Manager – *SIGH* “Really? Can you just make the copies?”
    Me – “Umm…. no… your the one with the copy machine…”
    Records Manager – *SIGH* “Fine…”

    Granted, some customers are idiots and deserve to be treated like assholes. But its gotton to the point to were customers are immediately sterotyped as assholes and then treated as such, when sometimes its just the other way around. Sad.

  27. Sarhii says:

    I’ve worked in retail for close to 5 years and the customer is almost always an Ass. Every once in a while you get one who will admit they were wrong. I work at Walgreens and we had a lady who insisted she bought this digital camera from us and wanted to return it but it clearly had another stores price tag on it, and still demanded a refund…we didnt do it but thats how stupid customers are.

  29. Matt says:

    I dont think “Right” should even be on the graph.

  30. Customers don’t even need to be in the store to be assholes, or at least stupid. XD This is pulled from notalwaysright.com:

    Me: “Thank you for calling tech support, this is Josh. How may I help you?”

    Caller: “I installed the purple bird!”

    Me: “Purple bird…you mean Pidgin? Yeah, it’s pretty cool. How can I help you with that today?”

    Caller: “My buddy list is empty.”

    Me: “Maybe none of your friends are online right now?”

    Caller: “It doesn’t COME with friends?!”

    Me: “No, sir…”

    Caller: *click*

  31. Anthony says:

    it’s like how a customer said to me yesterday, because he was pissed at something, that the whole store should be leveled and demolished and then walked to the food aisle and threw three bags of chips off the shelf. I work in a rite aid as a pharmacy tech. I deal with asshole customers on a day to day basis.

  32. Marekatt says:

    One of the first graphs to make le “LOL”. Nice one!

  33. Nagged hubby says:

    Charge the going rate, dear.

    You need that facelift and tummy tuck, after all.

    • Nagged Hubby's Nagging Wife says:

      Goodness, you’re one to talk. Maybe you can use the gas money you save by not driving to the store for that penile implant surgery and actually have a fighting chance of satisfying me for once (though I doubt it; implants don’t help you last longer than your current 42-second record).

  34. bigrickrachunek says:

    As much as it must suck to admit, Nagged Hubby is 100% correct. If you were not there to provide a service, you would not have a job. If someone throws clothing about the store, it is your job to clean it up. I understand that it is lousy and repetitive, but it is YOUR JOB. If that job isn’t working out for you, perhaps job hunting is in order.

  35. strangemagic1 says:

    Bigrick…
    It’s not so much that people are complaining about the job. It’s the way he’s advocating and acting like he can treat staff in any way he wants.
    Even as a manager I get stuck with doing things in all capacitys in my store and I accept that. What is not going to be tolerated is somebody coming in and acting the fool.
    The people in service jobs are not there to be abused they are there to run the store and protect it’s interests. The main thrust of those interests is customer satisfaction. But there are those few that just carry things to far and they have to bedealt with in many different ways.
    Your approach to getting your point across is 180 degrees from that of NH and is not offensive in the least.
    Your approach to saying things and NH’s are totally different

          And your the best kind of customer to disrespect……You’d run away and snivel about it here.And then lie about things during the whining process.

          I’d put money (and win) that you’d never talk to anybody in real life like you do when your safe behind keyboard…You know you’d get laughed right out of the place.

          Your antics are boring now kid

          • Nagged hubby says:

            I like you. You remind me of when I was young, stupid, and broke.

            Ahhhhh…. memories.

            • Nagged hubby says:

              But my grammar skills are superb, whereas yours blow syphilitic chipmunks. Or is your inability to grasp the English language simply one long continuous senior moment?

  36. KingTomburger says:

    my goodness! Look at the controversy my quaint graph has inspired! I suppose anonymity has it’s benefits, but it still makes me laugh:
    after reading a bit of the argument (spanning 2-3 days no less) which goes from the lack of politeness of customers and the apathy of under-appreciated staff to the orgasms of wives? teehee.

    While each side may have it’s compelling arguments (I stopped caring and skipped to the bottom, so im not entirely sure if they do), basically my graph was a response to the utter self righteousness and sense of entitlement many customers show towards customer service employees.

    Fact: It is the employee’s job to help the customer and perform all respective jobs, be it cleaning, assisting ..whatever.

    Fact: The customer can still be a…umm..let me think…human being? Just because i’m being paid to help you does NAHT give you the right to treat me with incredible disrespect, nor does it entitle you to become inordinately hostile if your demands aren’t met.

    so you see, i took those feelings and facts, and made them into a cheekily audacious graph, you see, to inspire laughter in persons who can relate, you see, because i’m clever. haha.

    Now i hope we can move past this most unsettling argument and have a nice chuckle at the expense of rude customers, because at the end of the day, isn’t that what it’s all about?

    • strangemagic1 says:

      Your right…But it is fun to swat some folks around and actually find a sparring opponent. I think of NH this way now…
      1. He’s either a retail person cracking a helluva joke
      2. He really does feel that way he knows he can get away with keeping his identity under wraps because he knows he really would say something to the wrong person and …well…you know.

  37. Daniele says:

    Whenever a customer says that to my face, I ask them if that means people can suggest any price even if they’re wrong. Then I ask them if it’s really correct if I’m carding all the kids in a group over a pack of cigarettes or beer and they tell me I’m discriminating.

    That quiets the field a little.

  38. pepperelf says:

    ROFL.

  39. strangemagic1 says:

    Nagged Hubby…there’s a new graph on the 1st page about 1 hour photos that desperetly needs your insightful input…it’s entirely to civil and that just can’t stand,now,can it

    • Nagged hubby says:

      So sorry your public education and sluggish cerebral functioning didn’t provide you with the basic ability to string together a gramatically correct sentence… oh wait… your sentence was up and retail was the only thing your PO’s fellatio-proferring abilities could suck you into, correct?

      :lol:

  40. strangemagic1 says:

    Geez…I tell you of another place to spread your incredible insight and your worried about fellatio (that’s a open window into your obsessions BTW)
    Now please…for the sake on the world and the internets….go add your comments to make sure all those people know their place in the hierarchy of the world

    • Nagged hubby says:

      Just so you know your place, my work on the internets is DONE.

      The fact you are obsessing over lil’ ol’ me makes me realize that YAY-YUS, my work indeed is.

  41. strangemagic1 says:

    And you will live on….We need to throw up monuments…hold ticker tape parades….hold moments of silence…no scratch that…you never had one, so that would be disrespectful to your memory.
    I’m so glad that you came along and shook some sense into all of us…I feel so inspired to go out and better myself. I’ll spread your prophetic sayings to all throughout the land. Far and wide…No city…No hamlet…no village will be bereft of your intellect and true god like standing amongst all of us that are beneath you…

      It’s about time you admitted you fail. Fall to you knees and supplicate immediately, cretinous fool.

    And yet…you managed to find my most unworthy homage….I must make ammends…Send your wife over to sit on one of my staffs face…They will be cowering when I tell them of the errors of all our ways and that you,personally,are coming to deliver your divine wrath.

    *cuts off Nagged hubby’s head and puts it on a pike*

    • Nagged hubby says:

      Your attempt at constructing a creative flame was pitiful. I mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of babbling was hardly effective… Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, count, and learn the Mac you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us “normal” people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are “challenged” persons in this world who find these things more difficult. If I had known, that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn’t have been “right.” Sort of like parking in a handicapped space.

      • Nagged hubby says:

        I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you (like breathing, for instance).

          • collegekitteh says:

            Oh, come on. That’s the best you got? An INCEST joke? Your intelligence is less than I thought it was. I THOUGHT you might be at LEAST sentient. Well, looks like I was wrong.

            Retard.

            • Nagged hubby says:

              Cry some more. And then run to your prof for some more assurance that you fit within the correct ideological parameters of Maslow’s, and that you are indeed self-actualizing rather than lowest-common-denominator majoring.

              Rocks for jocks. Live it and love it, psuedo-psycho-major.

                  • Nagged hubby says:

                    For my wife Angelina, of course.

                    • StrangeMagic says:

                      You’re wife Angelina, formally known as Donald in his/her(?) younger days…
                      The fact that if you are actually anything like what you’re portraying yourself to be like has me wondering why you would find it worth it to defend yourself on here, given how high and mighty you think of yourself. What do you gain by wasting you’re time if you’re so great and retail workers are just morons or whatever the hell else you were calling them? I think this comment area is more suited towards people who actually agree with the graph, cause it gives us a common interest to laugh about given how true it is. I don’t see where Fortune 500 Nagged Hubby really falls into line here.

  45. Rory says:

    Mallrats.

  46. mary says:

    nagged hubby spends a lot of time on this page it’s really kind of sad.

  47. cherokeekid says:

    I cant believe that you all let that nagged guy get you so worked up. He is clearly being antagonistic just for the hell of it. No matter what you say he is going to find someway to insult you or make a highly charged statement that is bound to piss someone off. Which helps to prove the point the graph is making, some people just like to ruffle other peoples feathers.

    This graph is 100% true though I work at BK and we had a lady come and complain that he whopper jr. didnt look exactly like the picture on the menu. Here’s a fact for you all a lot of times when food is in a picture, such as a burger, a lot of the stuff is fake. That way the food looks immaculate so people will buy it. I am willing to guarantee that no food you get at a fast food restaurant looks like the picture on tv or whatever.

  48. **** says:

    you forgot just plain stupid.

  49. ClariPossum says:

    If the store is open that late, why not? Or does it close at 11? :)

    When I worked evenings I’d do my shopping at all hours, because I was wide awake, it was easy to find a parking spot, and there weren’t 600 people in the store blocking every single item I was after with their cart while browsing the items around it. :)
