Welcome to Gaia! ::

That sounds awful! my personal worst work story would have to be when i used to work at this office.

I was basically a file clerk who filed ALL SUMMER. it was horrible, but one day i came out of the hellish file room to find the boss sitting at my desk. He had came to tell me that I spent to much time on the internet (which i hadn't). I was so shocked, but then he was like "Just kidding!" He thought it'd be hilarious to play a prank on me. He felt so bad later though he bought me lunch, but seriously that was the worst ever.

I use to work at McDonalds. And they have some of the most horrible customers. As well as good ones. But once I started working at McDonalds. Silver Ark's mom would keep telling me how easy my job supposely was compared to her manager job at Macys. I would just ignore her. I was always a closer. So I was there until about 1am.

Well, Silver's mom decided to come in with Silver's bro. I took their order. And my other coworkers got it ready. So I handed her and him their cups. Then Silver's mom comes back to me, bitching about how there was no Sprite and that it was all gone. I told her, I was sorry that we were out of Sprite but she could pick another drink. But then she continued to b***h about there being no Sprite and that we should refill it. I told her that it was the Pepsi company who dealed with that. And we would have to wait for them to come in and refill it. She then finally took my answer. And then I handed her their meal. And then before she left, she said that we should atleast refill it.

I thought that was completely rude. Silver was pissed for sure. Especially, since our McDonalds was across the street from a Gas station. It was horrible. And I thought she was so rude for it.

I work at a bank during the summer, for the most part its pretty pleasant, however, when working with other peoples money, people tend to get upset pretty quickly. I've been yelled at a few times, but theres one particular instance I remember quite well.

It was so awful! We're required to take finger prints of any non customer desiring to cash a check on our bank, for the most part, every one is pretty chill about it. However this one time we were fairly busy and this tourist came in because he wanted to cash a check. It would have been no problem, but I needed his finger print. Well, all hell broke loose when I asked him, "DO I LOOK LIKE A F**KIN CRIMINAL TO YOU!?" he then proceeded to call me a every term in the book. My co-workers and manager eventually stepped in asked him to leave. I was a little shaken by this because I never really had anyone yell at me like that before. My co-workers were really nice about it, our manager later bought all of us ice cream that day and we bitched about annoying customers ^-^

I worked at an awful, awful Walmart, as a cashier.
Every day was awful. I was probably one of the better cashiers, I rarely made mistakes and I make it a point to always be polite and courteous, no matter how my day is going. That's just how I roll.
But I honestly had people screaming in my face about once a week. For no fault of mine, sometimes it would be because the line was too long, even though we had every register open. Apparently it was our fault that other people wanted to shop too!

There are a couple memorable occasions, though:
-The old lady who thought she had pressed the wrong account on the debit pad, and demanded I give her five dollars, out of my pocket, to pay for it. The lady was RIDICULOUS. My manager showed her on the receipt that it WAS the right account, and pretty much laughed in her face. But the lady just...STOOD BY MY REGISTER AND GLARED AT ME. For at least ten minutes. They had to ask her to leave the store.
-The man who threw his cash at me
-The lady who threw her credit card at me
-The lady who slapped my hand

Blah blah blah. Again, this was usually for something like...a bank error, or a small pricing error. Usually a dollar, or something like that.

Yay Walmart!

I thought of another one.

I had this red neck-esque guy come through with his kid and they bought a few things the total came to something .06 like $7.06 or something he gives me a 20 and throws 5cents on the counter as well. Of course I ignored the nickle because it made no sense and punched in the 20 and started on his change, which was I guess $12.94.

The guy looks at me like I'm the most retarded person in the world and says to me like he's talking to a moron. "Uh I gave you a damn nickle I don't want all that ******** change back" [Remembers he's with his little girl?]

I looked at him for a moment, it threw me off because I wasn't sure if he was really that dumb or I had made a mistake. So I nicely said "Oh it was $7.06 not $7.05" [sometimes I slur my words and no one understands me LOL] but no he knew... he replys with "Yeah ya idiot 5 plus 1 is 6!" grabs the nickle and tries to give it to me again.

Well I don't like being called an idiot...So I looked at him with an eyebrow raised and said "Yeah, and 94 plus 5 is 99, you're not helping your cause." and I put his money on the table. My manager who was right beside me counting back the till beside me just busts out laughing and the guy rushes out of the store angrily.

We spent the rest of the day making fun of him together LOL good times.

NEW FUNNY WORK STORY!

A girl I work with poked her head down the aisle I was in and says "Hey Wendy want to sweep with me?" I said "Yeah sure" well there was a customer shopping in between us, she stops and looks at us with a shocked look on her face. Apparently she misheard my coworker she thought she had said "Hey Wendy want to SLEEP with me?"

We laughed so hard. It made my night. <3

(also to clarify she said my real name but I subbed it with Wendy)

Why do you guys keep doing that !! >.<
LOL
