when people dont use paper money it falls outa my g string
Not surprising-the manager is simply trying to justify his job. Funny thing here is that the end result is for the manager to be seen as the useless person they usually are. I personally feel a ratio of about 100 to 1000 workers per manager is about right, not the under 10 often seen in many places.When an employee is answering an involved question for an apparently difficult customer, a somewhat clueless (and hey, I'm feeling very generous here) manager will hover around the employee (who seems to actually know what they are doing in the first place), and end up interfering with both the customer and the employee with useless babbling. This at the same time greatly annoys both the customer and the employee to the extent that the manager ends up being able to quash the sale for the employee. Guess who gets it in the neck? It never seems to be the clueless manager, does it. Ah, the wonders of micro-management.
Most annoying part of my job, people who never are guilt of the traffic violation I pull them over for. People who ask why I'm not out after real criminals instead of harassing them for a minor traffic violation. People who have never done my job but know how to do it better than I can, or think they can. People who judge me or my LEO brothers based on half truths and the left wing media's version of the truth in a incident or situation.
...snip... My mom had her share of that as a token booth clerk and a toll collector. However, there are also some cases where they're just asking for it by their pushy behavoir.
Last time my mom worked was in 1985. She went out on disability (carpal tunnel syndrome) around then.There are still token booth clerks and toll collectors? My metrocard comes in the mail, and I haven't seen a toll collector in years (EZ-pass early adopter)
I'll have to remember that one the next time I need an excuse to talk to a cute shop assistant-girl.... a customer walks up and asks how much an item is when there is a 3 inch by 3 inch price sticker saying 4.99 on it.
"I want to go to the toilet. Do you want to come with me?" is what they're really saying. They just don't know it. oo:Or when a customer asks where the bathroom is, I tell them, then half way down the aisle they ask a coworker of mine, then once they make it to the employee doors they ask someone else.
.... I hate customer service and the boss won't move me, claiming I am too good at it...That's a insult if I do say so myself.

When I'm pissed at someone, the last person that I would want to hurt is myself. :thinking: I would sooner use the box cutter on them.And I just want to stick a box cutter in my eye
I don't know about your store, but this is a situation where I can (and have) made store employees look like a fool, more often than I can recall.when a customer walks up and asks how much an item is when there is a 3 inch by 3 inch price sticker saying 4.99 on it.
They still make paper money?There are still token booth clerks and toll collectors?
They still make paper money?
Why complain about something if you are not willing to do anything about it?
Change is not always as simple as people like to make it out to be. (general statement, not concentrating on just a job)The most annoying part of my job is listening to the other employees complain about how much it sucks here, how the boss is a PITA, how the pay sucks whatever, BUT they are too lazy to go get another job.
