Tonight some absolute fucker goes to buy a $3 bottle of water with a fifty. The thing is I can see in his wallet he has a twenty and a ten, so I mention that I don't have a lot in the till (night shift at a petrol station) and he then goes, nah, I actually just want to split the note. I say that it won't be neat change and he literally just says he doesn't care what I think. Congratulations sir, your prize is all of my silver. Don't come back.

Gorilla Salad posted:none of that matters. Your niece and I came to exactly the same conclusion. Also, if they pay for a more expensive thing that isn't itemised than the "correct" size for that month, then just ring up the one that gets you points, then say you accidentally shortchanged someone at the end of the shift.

Also you only can get feedback from people who use loyalty cards, which had the obvious effect of nobody asking for them anymore.

Today we had a deal, you get 4 cents off the fuel price when you buy anything else. We had a quick list drawn up of items that you could give the customers basically for free depending on how many litres they filled up with, and gently caress. About 75% of people declined. Me: Hey, would you like thing for free with your fuel? Them: No, because apparently I am not a fan of free things. Corporate in a week: Hmm yes, customers neither want cheaper fuel, nor free things, hmmm.

Worked a straight ten hour shift yesterday (Sunday) and we had some contractors on site doing some painting and putting new signs up, and about a dozen separate customers came in to get their stuff and all mentioned something along the lines of: "look at that, people working..... on a Sunday"

While we're on the topic, gently caress anyone who uses $100 bills, unless what you are buying is actually close to $100.

Glenn Quebec posted:I don't think you understand the scope of what you're suggesting. It's been suggested in Australia as surge pricing a la Uber. I'd honestly be interested to see them try and run that, purely because of how much of an absolute garbage fire that would be in practice. http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/breakfast/surge-pricing-could-increase-supermarket-profits/8692908 Like, can you imagine how bad this would be for everyone.

SpacePig posted:God, I can barely approach people working when I need help. I always prefer people ask me. 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.

I like how nobody realises it's the biggest win win for the worker. "wait, so you're going to leave and you won't be coming back?!
