Do you what YOU did was FAIR to the store employee???? She might have been there by herself by no fault of her own and busy when you came in the store.. You have a high opinion of yourself!!!!!!!!!!!
When returning an item, the store should have a "take a number" system. There are some people
who just don't understand the first come first serve system.
who just don't understand the first come first serve system.OK... take it easy...
Another pic from the same set- with Sammie showing off her little pink box instead of the red one! LOL
Are you suggesting maybe a Dick in the box type thing? I can assure you that is not the case.
OK... That is Sammie Rhodes...

I agree. The worst is the LCBO at Xmas. They bring in skids of booze filling up the floor space, and it never emptys, then they have 5 to 10 times the amount of customers, so you can't move and get past the family reunions. Then the first week of Jan, they haul it all out again. Makes no sense, just a waste of energy.

My pet peeve is to do with checkouts (still): Loblaws will allow 10 or more people lined up at 4 or 5 cashiers and not open any to release the backlog.
When this happens to me at any store, I walk out leaving evrything in the cart or basket.

I use them all the time, but the Sobeys I go to doesn't have them. Actually, I prefer to use them than to go to a cashier.
Now try working in that kind of environment 40+ hours a week...No wonder I can find the fire ax in the dark.
But in all honesty, that's probably the biggest reason I'm beginning to loath Christmas. As a result, I'm prone to getting rather depressed around this time of year. And Christmas Day, when the family gathers, I get called out as an asshole, because I'd sooner be left alone.
Now it'll sound odd coming from a guy, but I love to go "shopping." Ok, I seldom buy stuff. Maybe a few books, a CD/DVD or game. (Been meaning to buy some new cloths too. Been dropping weight, and I want a change from the jeans/t-shirt thing I have now to something nicer...But I don't know what I want) For me it's an excuse to get out.
But at this time of year, I want nothing to do with shopping. Like you suggested, Molly, the atmosphere in the stores/malls just gets so negative. Which is made that much worse by the festive dressings, and faux holly jolly attitudes presented by most people. "Merry Christmas, now move your ass I want that Gameboy!!"
I have yet to see them in any store other than Homo Depot. I love em frankly. I can whiz through faster than any cashier can....and yes, I DO scan every item TYVM lol.....
I most certainly do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will repeat this so you know EXACTLY where I'm coming from:
I will not tolerate crap or poor service from anyone I am giving my money to. Be it a newspaper for $1.50, a shopping cart of food for $150, a Mercedes for $110,000 or a 40 ft Sabre Motor Yacht for $650,000!
Never.
If you want to be treated like shit, knock yourself out, not me, I have a higher opinion of myself than that.
P.S. The store was empty (that's why she was hanging out in the back) and she was part-owner, but if you read every post you would know that.
oops shit, you're right CTC has em and I use them there too....zip right on through....
I'll answer this one...
Anyway, from that day forward I routinely checked refunds that I wasn't personally aware of. I would simply call the customer under the guise of customer service. You know, "Was your refund handled in a courteous manner" etc.... that sort of thing. I managed stores for 7 years and was a District Manager after that. None of my stores ever had an employee theft problem after that.
This is to prevent employee theft. Seriously- Years ago when I first became the manager of a shoe store- the day after my day off, I was doing the paperwork. I came across a refund for a pair of shoes. It just happened to be the same size and style as a pr I had returned about a week prior. Thinking I may have a manufacturing problem I went to check the "damaged" shoes- there was only 1 pr- the pair I had returned. Strange I thought since there were 2 refunds. I called the woman that had supposedly returned the shoes the day before- she did not exist! I then started checking all the refunds from this associate. She had been stealing cash and "hiding" it as refunds for MONTHS! $2200 worth! She lost her job obviously and there was a big investigation- she was a long time employee too- 4- 5 years in fact and she made a point to transfer to a different store every 6-8 months to "spread out" the losses and avoid detection.

Pet Peeve for me: when paying by cash and the change is given, why oh why do they pile the coins on top of the bills. I cup my hand to hold the coins, and must first remove the bills, sometimes sending the coins in all directions. Please, coins on the bottom, bills on top.
Whew, now I feel better !
Whew, now I feel better !
A LEGEND in your own MindI most certainly do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Intelligence shines, but don't fret, society needs little people also. There will always be room for you.
That is why I pay by plastic now. Also, don't want to come back home with 15,000 coins.
