Employees Of All Stores - Post Your Stupid And Funny Customer Stories - Part Cinco

We got two Wii's in. One was called for by the manager's cousin or some shit. So I start calling people on the waiting list for the 2nd one.

Me: Hey, is Geroge there.
George: Yeah, this is George.
Me: Well we got a Wii in and you are next on the waiting list.
George: Really? Awesome!
Me: Well come on in and get it.
George: Wait, how much is it?
Me: $249.99 before taxes.
George: Really? Let me ask my wife *Honey, they got the Wii at Radioshack. It's 250.*
Wife: (in the backround) 250? I heard it was 150 at Wal-Mart. Tell him no.
George: No thanks, we can get it cheaper.

People just want the damn thing because they can't get it. It annoys the crap out of me. Once we get them in, no one will want them.

Please remember to append your story when he realizes his wife's an idiot and calls you later for his Wii. :D
 
This lady wants a digital photo frame, as she points in the flyer. I tell her we are sold out and have been for weeks.

Lady: "Then why is it in the flyer?"
Me: "Because we aren't the only Radioshack."

And I didn't say that mean at all. Probably the nicest I could.
 
Customer (C), Me (M)

C: Do you have any Wii's?
M: No, we're sold out and not really expecting to get any more in by Christmas.
C: Oh, it's cool, I was just looking to get one for profit, I already have mine.
M: Oh. Well then I definitely don't have one for you.
C: That's cool.

C: (Opens door, asks rather loudly) What am I about to ask you?
M: Sorry, sold out.
C: Thanks! (leaves)

C: Can I preorder the Wii and pick it up when you get some in?
M: ...no
C: Why?
M: (facepalm)

Reminds me of when I was in a local store back when the GameCube just came out. A woman was in there, shopping around, and she spots a used one for $150. She then starts trying to haggle the price with the salespeople up front, saying that she just saw it for $40 at a pawn shop and that's the most she would spend on it. They calmly responded that if she wanted it for $40 she is more than welcome to go back to the other place and buy it since there was no way they were going to haggle.

Some people... ;)

when i worked for a gift shop and restaurant down in Miami, FL I use to get people from the island try to haggle the prices on everything they brought to the counter. The t-shirt that was 29.99 (overpriced shit I know), they try to say "I'll give you 10 for the shirt." When i said I can't do that they reply with "How about if I buy 3 shirts for 10 each...there is your 30 dollars..." and my reply was "How about if you buy each of these shirts for 30 dollars each as tagged :) " then they say they don't want it saying they can get it cheaper. Yea like I want them to go home and brag to their friends and family saying "I bought this 30 dollar shirt for 10 dollars from this gift shop guy...what an idiot!"
 
I am a manager at a Gamestop. A customer called me 2 days before Xmas asking if we had Guitar Hero III on PS2. I checked and sure enough I had one copy. She said she was on her way and would be there in 45 minutes and asked if I could hold it for her. I completely understand that she doesn't want to waste a trip so I said that I would.

45 minutes passed and no customer. Another 15 minutes pass and still no customer. Another 15 minutes pass and still no customer. Then a customer in the store asks me if I have GH III on PS2. I sold her the one that was holding for the lady that never showed up.

20 minutes later the lady shows up, comes to the counter and says. "You are holding a Guitar Hero III game for me, I am here to pick it up." I said "Sorry ma'am, but you told me you would be here in 45 minutes and that was over an hour and a half ago. I have already sold that game. She gets all pissed off and pulls out her cell phone to check the time that she called me. Sure enough, I was right. She says "Well, it wasn't my fault, traffic was bad (keep in mind here, this is not a big city, we don't have tons of traffic". I told her that I was sorry that traffic was bad, but since she had a cell phone on her she should have called me and I would have gladly held the game. I can't simply hold a game in hopes that you might eventally come in. I had no idea if you had changed your mind, or picked it up somewhere closer. All I knew for sure is that you asked me to hold it for 45 minutes, and I did just that.

Of course she was totally understanding.... not.

She wanted my boss's phone number and ran out screaming that she would never shop in my store again.

Damn, I sure will miss her.
 
Back when I used to work in customer service (shudders) a customer was getting all pissy about something and eventually gave me the obilgatory "I'll never a shop here again!". I looked at them with an expression of hopefulness and replied "Promise?". They looked at me speechless for a moment then left. Winner!

That happened quite a few times when I was with RS. Sometimes other sales associates from other stores call our store to see if we have a certain cell phone in stock and asks if we can transfer it to them. Sometimes they come get it, sometimes they send a customer over, sometimes we send it over because we have good relations with the other store (meaning they give us stuff we are low on and they have more than enough to spare and so on). They always say 20 minutes, but end up coming about an hour or 2 later when they are located 10 mins away.

Just happens..
 
Up until a few months ago. I owned a board/card game store. But that didn't stop people from comming in and asking for video games. Understandable, heck we even had someone purchase the World of Warcraft Board game and try to return it because he thought it was a video game. (Look up the picture online. The thing weights 20 pounds!)

Anyhow, the worst is the customers that call and ask for systems that don't even exist.

XCube 360
PS2 Box 3
GameCube 2
DS 3 (You know, the handheld Playsation.....)

That used to happen all the time when I worked for Sears. My reply was 'the flyer was printed three months ago, they didn't know that we would be out of stock in three months.'

Yeah; I love customers like the first guy. I also love people who are polite, and--realizing they may have made a mistake by waiting so long to try and find a very in-demand item--ask, with some humility, if there's any chance I know where they could find a Wii.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, there were many people I would have loved to castrate simply so the next generation would not be so riddled with sexually-transmitted stupidity. I loved when a customer today brought up three Wii games, asked for a Wiimote and nunchuck, and then said, "Oh yeah, I'd like a Wii, too." I also loved when people bitched at us because we are mandated by marketing to keep Wii boxes up on display, and people automatically assume that, since we have the Wii box on display, we have Wiis in stock.

Ironically to the second customer, we were also asked a TON if we could preorder Wiis for the next shipment...right up until we got the actual preorders available, 24 of them, on Friday. We've sold 20 of them in three days, which is a piddly sum considering that we were being asked once every two to three Wii inquirers about it last week.

Following the thread, though, here's a couple more I got that made me laugh:

(10 year old is scouring over a $10 game)
Me: Anything I can help you with?
Kid: No, it's okay.
Me (whispering to coworker): It looked like he was gonna ask me how much that game was (which happens often, even with the big, ugly price stickers).
Kid: Is this game $10?

(17 or 18 year old comes up)
Him: Yeah, I found this copy of God of War II in the $9.99 and under bin. That means it's $9.99, right? (normal price: $34.99)

Man o man, I can't wait for work tomorrow. The sense of desperation for Christmastime is going to be PALPABLE...

I had thought about hooking him up with free rentals or some discounts or something, but I literally blinked and he was gone.
 
Customer: I was told that i could get ipods here up in the register.

Me:Well, which one do you want?

Customer: I don't know which kinds do you have and what's the difference.

Me: If you go over to the mp3 section you could get all the help you need on ipods, it's just right over there.

Customer: I want ipods not mp3 players.

Me:......
 
C: I would like to return this video.
M: *looks over movie* This isn't ours.
C: Of course it is.
M: No...that says Blockbuster
C: Uh...fuck! What did I return there. *heads out the door*
M: O__O

*phone rings*
M: Hello?
C: Who the fuck are you?
M: *hangs up phone*

Customer left her credit card
M: *Bored, wrapped bow around card* (Materials leftover from gifts I needed to wrap)
Customer comes in 40 something minutes later
C: Uh, did I leave a credit card here?
M: Name?
C: *gives me name*
M: ID
C: *Hands me driver's license*
M: *Hands her bow-wrapped credit card*
C: *Gives me a weird look and leaves*

Not customer related, but was taking a break, drinking some Snapple outside. Kids on skateboards come tearing around the corner. Some dude in a car, "HEY KID! Your flys open!"

Kid looks down, hits a curb, and flys off the board into some bushes.

Guy in car, "Just kidding!"
 
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that a coworker and I were propositioned for a Wii by two fairly cute girls a couple weeks ago. I just laughed and left them to my coworker, considering a) I'm in a happy relationship and b) I don't like attempts at sexual manipulation.

Funny story, though. They weren't even that desperate for a Wii...just looking for it for a raffle or something for their work...

I work at McDonalds(Sucks,I know) and I get my break or leave home and I go to walmart and I get people asking every corner:Where Bla bla?I wear red and black with an apron,do I look like a Walmart Employee?Sometimes I help and now,I don't even bother and say I don't work here.BTW...today,walmart was packed!THeir whole parking lot was full and I had to park at Starbucks,around a block away.
 
I've been lucky this season, either that or I am so mentally checked out it's not registering anymore, but I had this guy come in this weekend wanting to use a 20% off used game or accessory coupon on a new ps2/singstar bundle.

When I told him the coupon was for a used game or accessory, not a system, and not new he snapped "I can read!" and pointed on the back of the coupon where there is a bullet-pointed list of what people can find at game crazy (new/used games, systems, etc.) When I tried to explain this, he snatched back the coupon and pushed the system back at me saying he was going to the other store. It wasn't the worst customer experience I've had, but I got a kick out of him yelling "I can read." Read, sure. Comprehend, not so much.

HA

This lady came the other day about this cell phone charger thing.

Me: We didn't have any left.
Her: I was here and I had someone put it behind the register for me.
Me: Oh ya, I remember that. And it was a week ago.
Her: It wasn't a week okay.
Me: Oh, sorry, about 4 days then. I still can't hold an item for 4 days for you.
Her: .....
 
Not my employee story, but a customer story nonetheless. Was shopping around for stuff today and ended up at a Best Buy. Note: was at the CSR desk for price adjustment for PS3 version of COD 4 (found out I can't use the 10 dollar off coupon afterwards)

Wife: *price adjusting something I guess* Do you have anymore Guitar Hero?
Employee: *Points him in the right direction.*
Husband: *Walks off to pick one up and comes back*
Wife: No...he has a PS2 not a 360.
Husband; What's the big difference. *go gets another one*
Wife: NO! PS2 not PC!
Husband: Godamn pieces of s***.
Husband: *brings back each and every single one of the Guitar Hero* Here choose the damn right one.
Customer: *laughing* Not one single one of those are a PS2 version
Husband: *cusses and takes everything back*
People in line, employee, and I: *laughing*
Wife: *Follows after the husband*
Wife: *Comes back with the right one and no husband to be seen*
 
I worl at a Liquidation store and we just had the Boxing week Flyer part 1, they come in at let's say 4PM and/or next day and ask if we have a item here's a small dialogue:

C: do you have this Ipod Shuffle for $29?
M: no we dont sir we sold out yesterday first day of the flyer and we only had a limited quantity while it lasted
C: WHAT! but this flyer runs for 3 days I demand to speak to the manager!
M: uhhh do you reall want to talk to him because every person that talked to him today asking the same question will get the same answer from me.
C: what's your name, I am gonna talk to your manager! thenb I will put this in the new papers that you guys lie! LIE!
M: You mean we are sold out because there are limited quantities?
C: Whatever......I am goning to shop somewhere else...(half an hour passes their back all quite and not trying to be seen by any of the employees)

the problem with customers they are so hyped up on boxing day that they dont have time to breath and understand the words coming out of people's mouths....oh and also the cheap fucking people shop on Boxing week expecially so you are bound to have asshole's.

[/QUOTE]

I would've made it a POINT to go talk to them- "Well hello again! Anything I can help you with?" ;)
 
I have a few of them.

There were many people who looked at the sign on the item, with "More on Order" highlighted and ask me where are the boxes for the items.

There's also the people who find an item that has "Last One, Display For Sale" on the sign (highlighted again) and ask if that's the only one there is and where the rest are.

Guy: Where are your Ipods
Me: Right when you walk in
Guy: Uhhhh
Me: Right over near One Hour Photo
Guy: Uhhh, I don't need photos, I need an Ipod
Me: Yes they are over by One Hour Photo *Points to huge sign that says One Hour Photo*
 
I only stormed out/snuck in once. Gamestop refused to exchange some used games I bought a day after. I told the guy to shove it and then had to come back in for the DK bongos LOL.
 
[quote name='Demolition Man']I found an easy way of cutting my calls on if my store has Wii's in is to say at the end of my phone greeting that "we are out of Wii's." 99% of the time I get a "just what I was about to ask thanks" then they hang up or "when will more be in?"

The 1% however will scream and yell at me about how I'm supposed to have a sudden power to make Wii's shit out of my ass just for them. Oh well... can't please everyone.[/QUOTE]

You should just tell the people the dead honest truth like i did.

If your calling, it's already to late.
 
[quote name='heatdolphins45']yea I heard that the parking lot wasn't really full.

[quote name='edavis0780']Yes mam, let me refer you to our breaking and entering division. That's obviously how we make our real money.

Try telling her that and keeping a straight face. :D[/quote]

LOL. That reminds me of a Stephen Colbert quote from back when there was a recall of acetaminophen due to the pills being contaminated with bits of metal. I can't remember for sure, but it went something like: "They took the pills off the market? What were they thinking?! The company said that the pills caused 'minor intestinal discomfort if ingested.' You know what people take when they have 'minor intestinal discomfort?' Acetaminophen! They had the pharmaceutical equivalent of a perpetual motion machine!"


[quote name='boyboy1080']does your walmart have a mc donalds restuarnt inside of it?[/quote]
REST - U - Arnt?

Is there a reason I won't be resting? Well, now that I think about it, I could never sleep in a Wal-Mart anyway. Especially not if I was in a McDonalds inside a Wal-Mart. That's like two layers of terrifying customers and angsty employees, if the length of this thread is any indication.
 
I was walking with another employee and a customer stops us and is holding 2 packages of first aid ointment. She shows us that one says 1/2 ounce, the other says 0.5 ounce and she asked us which had more. She then was saying something about 8 or 16 ounces (I thought she meant that is what is supposed to be). We explained it two times and it took a third time for her to understand that they were the same. We had a good laugh about that one in the backroom

I wonder if it was the fraction or the decimal that gave her problems? :applause:

I could understand if one package said "8 ounces" and the other said "1/2 pound." But I don't understand how anyone doesn't know that 1/2=0.5. That's pretty bad.

I managed to get a second job Managing a small Sandwich,Cafe, breakfast bar. and well...we dont get the smartest of customers.

I notice a guy walking along the front counter, pacing around the menu looking for something good. so I come up to him after and ask him.

Me: Can I help you find anything today?

Customer...looks at me oddly, and hesitates

Cust:.....What the hell is a Panino?

Me: it's an italian sandwich on Cibatta bread, we make em fresh or grilled.

Cust:...So its a sandwich?

Me: ...yes.

Cust: so call it damn sandwich...You got any burgers?

Me: .....*looks at menu* *Looks at Customer*....We sell sandwiches and breakfest items, we have Coffee and biscuits and salads, sandwhiches and fruits and vegetables, smoothies and different types of flavored breads and bakery items....

Cust: so...do you have any damn burgers?

Me:....No, we dont sell burgers.

Cust: you call this a fast food place? you dont even have burgers and you're trying to sell people Papinos? (Papinos WTF?)

Me: Its not fast food, its a Cafe...We are kind like starbucks mixed with a Cafeteria...Kinda the reason its called...A CAFE!

Cust: I want to speak to the manger

(Note: I am the manger...and it clearly says MANAGER in bright green and red letters on my apron)

Me:...Can i ask why?

Cust: yeah...You are refusing to help me!

Me: for me to help you, i need to have known what you wanted, you never told me what you wanted, You asked me questions which i answered all.

Cust: I want to see the damn manager!!

Me:....yeah let me go get him for you *walks into the kitchen*

Cust: Finally ....*talking to the guy behind him in line* can you believe this guy?

Me: *comes back from the kitchen* Can i help you find anything today?

Cust: *Goes on a yelling spree of Curses and profanties screaming about Burgers and Papinos*

Me: *Points to the two police officers that came in earlier to enjoy a coffee and a Jalepeno and Ham "Papino"*

Me: get the hell out of my store.

Cust: *Promptly leaves*


And everyone lived happily ever after.

Did I NOT just tell you we sold our VHS and they are gone? I think when customers ask questions I ought to just open and close my mouth making random noises... I don't think there would be any difference in responses.

Something tells me that's going to be more rampant then people phoning in asking for Wii stock, which is scary.
 
[quote name='GrilledWitOnions']So... how about the Red and Blacks?

I don't get why people do that, happens to me all the time. In fact...

Me: Can I help you?
Lady: Do you have any VHS tapes for sale?
Me: No, we haven't had VHS for a long time, we sold the last of them off cheap sometime last year.
Lady: So... do you have like, a really cheap VHS bin of what's left?

Did I NOT just tell you we sold our VHS and they are gone? I think when customers ask questions I ought to just open and close my mouth making random noises... I don't think there would be any difference in responses.[/quote]

I think you are right haha.
 
C: I bought a DS Lite the other day from here and it worked fine for awhile and then it just quit now it wont turn back on.
M: That's strange how long did you play it?
C: A hour or so.
M: Did you hook the system up to recharge the battery?
C: Nobody told me you had to charge the battery.


Then one day I had a kid ask me for Pokemon for the PS2, PSP or 360. I kept trying to explain to him that it was a Nintendo exclusive title. His mom then gets mad and says "Well I saw Pokemon for the PSP at Wal-Mart, are you calling me a liar?" I then tell her I believe she might have saw something else but if she believes she saw Pokemon for the PSP there she should go buy it before it is sold out.

"I saw Pokemon on the PSP and I'm calling YOU a liar."
 
I've had people give me that "I swear it exists!" bullshite before. I've gotten it for Mario and Donkey kong on various non-nintendo systems. Often, I compare it to ordering a Big Mac at Burger King. It just doesn't work. They usually laugh and let it be, but on occassions we get the real adamant ones. I eventually had one where I just said this.

"Tell ya what. If you go over to said store and find a copy. Buy it and not only will I reimberse you for the money, but I'll also pay you $100. Sound fair?"

He sort've took the seriousness of it to mean that he needed to shut up and sorta walked out after that.

I love the "are you calling me a liar?" argument.

"No, ma'am, I'm not calling you a liar at all, just an ignorant jackass."
 
This is a word for word account of what happened about a year and a half ago when I worked at Gamestop.

*Customer walks in*

Me: Hey how you doin' man? *noticeing he has a copy of GTA: San Andreas in hand* Looks like you've got a trade in.
Customer: No this heres mine, I'm returning it.
Me: Oh alright cool.

I take the game then start the transaction.

Me: So is it broke or you just weren't diggin' it?
Customer: This game has too many nig*ers runnin' around shootin' us white people. Un-realism.
Me: ...Oh.
Customer: Have you played it yet?
Me: Yeah I own it for Xbox.
Customer: You like it?
Me: One of the best games I've ever played *smiles*
Customer: You must have bad taste.
Me: Oh and you must have bad luck, this recipet is past the cut off date.

Probably one of the best days of my life. Stupid racist hick.
