newreply.php posted:As a former "manager": the quick fix is to say the customer is right, the salesperson is wrong, give them whatever they want, so you don't have some screaming shitlord drawing the attention of all your other customers. Sometimes what happens is that you are actually not lying and do not have the product the customer wants, and no, even if you look "in the back", you're not gonna find any. Good customer service: apologize and offer to take an order for the customer so they can have it when it comes in/is made (depending on industry), or suggest something similar. Bad customer service: sick iceburns that would in any decent establishment get you a severe reaming by both your direct manager and probably the store manager, if not fired.

But there's ALWAYS some random American/uk/Australian rear end in a top hat who decides to "party it up!" Get wasted and yell on a local loving train and then try to talk to me because HEY MAN YOURE WHITE YOU KNOW HOW IT IS and holy gently caress I don't want to be associated with you. Then I have to hide in my hoodie and pretend like I don't speak English and curl up and just. gently caress. You.

Everyone hates the manager that does that.

One of my few joys working retail was watching the 'friendly, easygoing manager' get chewed out by a more senior manager for violating store policy rather than sticking up for their employees.

I got pepper sprayed by a cop once when I tried to check on some dude who got knocked out and hit his head on a planter on the way down. Cops busted through the crowd and sprayed the lot of us. The few of us trying to render aid, the unconscious guy, the onlookers, everyone but the guy who knocked the one guy out, as he'd run off. And instead of cake all we got was threats of additional spraying if we didn't back up.

Tracula posted:Yeah... Here you'd borderline get tackled by the SRO if they even smelled smoke on you. Same for me. Lighters were a huge no-go. I briefly ran a ring of candy dealers during my freshman year of high school (age ~13). I'd buy very cheap candy at the Asian market behind the Chevron and then my friends and I would sell it at outrageous markups during passing breaks. We made a few bucks, and I got the stink-eye from a security guard who assumed I was selling fireworks for some reason, but my "crew" ran the "game" until we all got bored and did something else. edit: and then everyone clapped.

lol at 3-4 Zippos. That's like, probably BARELY enough E to get you a felony distribution charge. And also lighters are one of the first things they tell you to search if you ever take a well taught training or class about arresting/detaining/searching people caught for dealing and possession. "Inside the cool zippo their cool uncle Dave gave them" is like babbys first stash box, and popular enough that meth heads and crack addicts do it all the time as well. You can fit like, some stamps inside a Zippo if you shove it in real good. Not to mention a Zippo is a retarded place even if you're dealing with lovely cops because it's the absolute definition of a thing that's going to get mysteriously lost while they are booking you and end up in the hands of some cop's brother/wife/mistress/kid.

One of my few joys working retail was watching the 'friendly, easygoing manager' get chewed out by a more senior manager for violating store policy rather than sticking up for their employees. Everyone except those manager's managers. You know, the people who write his paycheck and let that depend on whether or not the business is running smoothly. Having an idiot who is totally in the wrong screaming at the service desk is bad for business, and much worse than accepting his $150 returned item even though it's against official policy. But of course the sort of people that write stdh.txt are entitled inexperienced special snowflakes with no degree that are much more than just a retail drone. Except the job you are doing right now is retail drone so just do that and don't make a personal crusade out of everything.

Some elementary school kids here in norway made huge bank reselling cheap packets of noodles to other kids a while back and they made such an absurd amount of money that the school and parents had to forcefully shut it down, calling it a racket.

And for those of you not living in a police state, SRO isn't some kind of faculty position - it's School Resource Officer or something like that which is a literal on-duty and typically armed police officer whose entire job is to be stationed at a school all day long and intimidate/arrest kids for any wrongdoing
