Welcome to Gaia! ::

Never work for Disney World.

My last day there is Wednesday, and I honestly don't think I'll be able to stand it. I am at the point where I'm crying just thinking about work. I cried myself to sleep last night, woke up this morning, and just thinking about work is making me cry. I cannot do this anymore.

Oooh, how I miss getting glares and grumblings from customers who expect me to cater to their wants. rolleyes

I used to work at a gas station and we had one guy who had put his regular drink in a slurpy cup and got upset because I charged him the slurpy price. It's a store policy to price drinks by the cup they're in, not what beverage it is. And it's no one else's fault but his own that he used the wrong cup. It's easy to figure out that the cups on the side of the slurpy machine are not meant for fountain drinks.

Oh, and I also recall a time when I worked at a gift shop. Even with the power out, we'd still get people who didn't understand why we were closed down. Apparently they didn't get the concept that our registers wouldn't work without electricity.

I have many many more stories. Ask and I will tell mrgreen

Or, if they speak Spanish and assume that the workers at our store wouldn't be able to understand a word they were saying. Gracias a Díos para 5 años de español xd

People are stupid. Do tell more stories!

Nakiato: I like my job now!

XD

Well, I do have to agree with kittylin that people are stupid when on vacation. We'd get tour buses of Japanese folks who would wait until the last possible moment to get their souvenirs from the gift shop, then get all antsy and frustrated that we couldn't ring them up faster. It would, of course, be our fault if they got left behind. >.>

Um..another time I had a guy come in ask me "Why is it that when you go to the Grand Canyon, you look down into the canyon, but at Zion (where I was working) you look up?" I couldn't think of any other answer but "Because that's where they put the road?" He couldn't believe me stare

We would also be asked "Why aren't the deer out yet? They were out by around this time at night last year."

Or my personal favorite was the woman from New York who got really rude with me and wanted me to stop searching for a t-shirt for another woman and ring her up right then because "the other line has a dozen people in it." It only had six and half of them were together anyway.


Those are the ones I can remember right now. I might think of more later, though. razz

And even though I'm not loving my current job, I'm soo glad I don't have to work with customers. I seriously wish I could be the girl who gives smart-a remarks to their questions and one of these days I might just do so and lose my job because of it XD
