Now we'll be cursed with incessant demons and ghosts saying things like "why don't you smiiiiiiile?" and "you look boooOOOOooored"  Also our crops will likely whither and die.

Don't forget recommendations to "better yourselves" without taking into account things like, geography, social, economic issues etc etc

Starman Super DX posted:There's an extremely thin line between the regular who sees you often enough to catch your name and give you a casual "Hey so-and-so, how's it going?" And the stranger you've never seen who thinks that anyone who has a name tag is their bestest buddy and announces it immediately upon meeting you and insists on making pointless conversation. The ol' "I dont get paid enough to fake genuine human emotions" works pretty well.

"Corporate didn't spring for the training course in humor when I was decanted from the breeding vat/cloning pod/spawning chamber/Lazarus vault." Usually takes a minute for that one to register, especially if your delivery is as deadpan as humanly possible. Tweak as needed for audience.

I remember some customers whistling at me in order to get my attention, Tweet Tweet! I ignored them until they walked up to me and talked to me and mentioned something about me not hearing them whistling. I just told them that I thought hey were calling a dog or something, why would they do that to me? This only happened about twice though.

Haha once a guy snapped at me to get my attention and I was already in a piss poor mood that day so when I turned around with a look of immense fury and indignantly said "Did you just snap at me??" The guy immediately shrunk back and apologized. He probably wasn't even trying to be rude but I did appreciate that he recognized my annoyance.

The Lord Bude posted:In some cultures it's really rude to hand money to people - you're expected to put it down on the counter. There's this japanese grocery store I go to sometimes, when it's time to pay, you put your money or credit card on a little tray; the cashier slides the tray towards themselves, picks it up, processes your payment, then puts your card or change back onto the tray and slides it towards you. they do this in japan, it's a germ thing - can't touch icky hands!

I out of the roughly dozen times I've been asked my name, only once by a non-regular has it ever been for a benign reason. Refusing to tell some crabby biddy your name is hilarious though. What are they gonna do? They already want to bitch to someone nominally in charge or just make a scene. Refusing them the dubious pleasure of acting like self indulgent morons is half the fun of retail. You can see why I didn't last at a corporate chain grocery store for long. Now I manage a liquor store with a half dozen employees. Like I'm gonna give some harpy my bosses phone number on a Friday night when he's home with his kids because she thinks I wasn't deferential enough? gently caress that.

Yeah, you do not do that to people. Glad he apologized. When I bar tended , if you whistled or snapped you would be the last on my list of concerns. Most figured this out after a while.

Not me but it was not unheard of for dudes at a kids amusement park I worked at to tell women who werent smiling that theyd give them something to smile about while gesturing at their crotch, often with their kids in tow. This is the same park, again intended to cater to 2-6 year olds, where two families completely unrelated to each other got drunk on liquor they packaged as water and claimed was for their diabetes that they began throwing trash cans at each other and anyone who tried to break up their fight until the cops showed up.

Deny everything and have a smug smile that could pass for "nice.". It's the best defense for lovely patrons.

In college, I worked at Hollywood Video, and every busy night, without fail, some rude person would come up to the side of the counter, ignoring the long lines and demanding my attention away from them. I'd ignore them like crazy. If they didn't get the idea that I wouldn't skip to them, and raised a fuss, I'd politely and straightfaced without even turning to them just say "Sir/Madam, if you wait your turn in line like everyone else, I'd be happy to help you" and not pay the slightest bit of attention to them again until they were at the front of my line.

So often I ask if they are looking for something (we have a bunch of random poo poo), get told no, then two minutes later get asked if we have something and immediately either show them where it is or say we don't have it. Just ask you idiots, you'll be out of my shop faster.
