Stupid Customer Stories? I want to hear Stupid Employee Stories.

[quote name='refusedchaos']no one even checks me cause i have facial hair and deep voice...and im 16![/QUOTE]

The GS near me checks me every time. Even when I haven't shaved for a few days. I don't exactly have a manly man's voice, though.

But damn, if I knew how rarely I'd get carded everywhere else, I could've bought so much porn when I was younger. Like at the comic book store. I had just turned 18 and picked up a hentai book for kicks, and the clerk didn't give it a second thought. I mean, I could've had my own porn reselling business in high school. I could've been rich. I don't smoke, but I could've made a killing off of cigarettes, too.
 
[quote name='DuelLadyS']Second the 'but stupid employee threads happen everyday' bit- although stupid co-workers sounds like fun!

My mom worked with a guy who was fired for taking 1 chicken strip from the deli girl cuz he had no lunch money that day. ONE strip.

Another guy she worked with had been there like 20 years, was a couple months from retirement will benfits and 401k and stuff- and lost it all because he stole a bag of Hershey's kisses. (let this be a lesson to all that Safeway is DAMN strict with their employees on theft.)

I also remember a story about the 'Special Needs' girl at Safeway sneaking out on breaks to sleep with the 'special needs' boy at the goodwill across the street, but I know no details on that. (Damn.)

And recently 2 managers were fired from my sister's Goodwill for theft... one was arrested too. They acted like they were trying to keep it 'secret'... then marched in him handcuffs around front... by the full wall front windows, were everyone could see. Oops.[/QUOTE]

That Hershey Kiss guy.... did he work in California?

I think I remember hearing about him!

Just sayin'...
 
Whoa, how did I ever miss this thread?

Off the top of my head....

When I was a teenager I was working a in a fast food restaurant. One of the male employees developed a crush on one of the female workers, who really wanted nothing to do with him. I'm thinking he was not all mentally there because he could not take a hint, and he was irritating to work with.

One day Mr. Dumbass's flirtation crosses the line to become completely inappropriate. During our busy lunch hour, with the store manager in the room a few feet away from him, he makes a pass at the girl and grabs her boobs. In front of at least a dozen workers. My manager blew her top, screamed, "You're fired!" and then literally shoved him out of the kitchen and told him to get out of the building.
 
I was fired because i was allegedly stealing beer when it really was this punk idiot teenager. Turns out his uncle was the the boss
 
[quote name='thesilentshadow30']About 5 years ago I worked with a guy that was a complete dumbass.
It was in a distribution center (warehouse). I worked in a department that had its own building which made it nice. There were about 15 of us that worked there, we unloaded trailers and sorted the cartons by store numbers and then loaded trailers for the stores. Well this guy to start with had already been in an industrial accident. At a previous job he had got his hand caught in an overhead conveyor ( don't know how) and it ripped off his pinky and some of the muscle from his arm. The sad thing is that he didn't get a thing for it... but anyway...

This guy was constantly being picked on, made fun of and such. For instance...
Once we took his jacket and raised someone up with a forklift and taped it to a chain hanging from the ceiling.
Another time, the day was almost over and there was nothing to do so we were just messing around, someone picked up a roll of shrink wrap (plastic wrap) that we used to wrap pallets and gave the end to him to hold... ( can you see what comes next?) ... and starts wrapping him to a pole. He was stuck and couldn't move, all he did was smile and laugh. The security guard had to come cut him loose because we all left when it was time to go.
Another time, nothing much going on some one had some tape... taped him up and then put him on a pallet... used a forklift and stcked him on top of some other pallets for awhile.

The guy loved the attention...[/QUOTE]

wow, you are one of the biggest douchebags on the planet, even if he did love the attention, still makes you a douchebag by basically torturing him. he could easily have brought harassment charge to all of you. but to actually leave him tied to a pole and leave, that skyrockets you and your co-workers above john edward for biggest douches in the universe. fun is fun, but some of those are downright cruel.

congrats.
 
[quote name='SaraAB']I am a very clean person, I keep my room and games in immaculate clean condition, and every time something comes into this house it is cleaned as soon as it gets here (I buy lots of stuff from yard sales, I have no problem buying yard sale condition stuff, I just clean it right away). There are times I have been in Ebstop where the odor of several shoppers was just unbearable. I cannot imagine what it would be like to work at that place, at least with a bigger store if you get a smelly guy lol, it dissipates really fast, but with Ebstop it seems to linger in the small store.[/QUOTE]

You sound like someone confident in their cleaning ability. Do you know of a good way to get cigarette smell out of a PSP UMD drive?
 
[quote name='Rasen']You sound like someone confident in their cleaning ability. Do you know of a good way to get cigarette smell out of a PSP UMD drive?[/QUOTE]

Dryer sheets are your friend when it comes to getting a smoky smell out of anything. Just put a dryer sheet in the UMD drive, wrap the PSP in a plastic bag, and let it sit for a couple days. The smell should be gone after that.
 
This isn't stupid employee, more like manipulative employee who preys on the stupid customer -- but I overheard a Gamestop employee outright lie about how hard it will be to find this second-tier Wii game and that the customer should preorder from them. And this was when the Wii itself was hard to find, meaning the games were plentifully available.

Another Gamestop employee bad mouthed a game I was about to buy, so what did I do? Not buy it!

I can give it a shot, but I tried something similar with the AC adapter and left it sealed for a couple months. It came out smelling like a horrible mix of tar and Snuggle. By dryer sheets, you mean the fabric softener sheets we toss in with a load, right?

I fail to see why this bothers people. Just means you look young. Treasure these moments before you lose all your hair and balloon up to a whopping 400 lbs. They'll stop carding you then.
 
[quote name='lmz00']Baking soda?[/QUOTE]

Do you put the baking soda in contact with whatever smells, or does simple proximity do the trick? Seal it all up in a bag or does it work like kitty litter?

I am way older than you and I still get carded at Target when buying M rated games. It isn't that they think I might not be 18 or whatever, it is that they need to scan the driver's license no matter what - the system makes them do it. But yeah, I don't get carded at GS any more ;).

I don't know. I got some controllers that have a bit of smoke smell, and bought some dryer sheets, but decided that I didn't want them to smell like Downy, so I bought some baking soda. If it'll fit, I'll put the box next to the controllers in the box, but no way am I putting anything into contact with them. Perhaps you can try it and let me know how well it works?
 
Not really a "stupid" employee story but,

Once when I went to Gamestop to pick up some games, and yes, I admit I buy games based on cartoon series. The following exchange happened.

C = Cashier
M = Me

M: I'd like to buy these games.
C: OK *he see that I'm buying two games based on cartoon series* Is this what your buying?
M: Yes, is there a problem?
C: Are you sure that you want these games?
M: Yes! *I'm starting to get annoyed*
C: *In a condescending tone* Really? Because if you want I can help you find some better games.
M: Yes I'm sure! *Just scan my Edge card and take my money*


And you know what? When I got home I had a fun time playing my games! I didn't need some know-it-all Gamestop employee to tell me what games were better!

Though there are probably a few games better than "Hello Kitty Princess Island" ;)

I know, except my point was I knew what I wanted. Did he not want me to spend money?:roll:

Oh, and by the way, I may be a girl, but I only like boy's cartoons, so I wouldn't be caught dead buying a Hello Kitty game.
 
We had a coworker a few years back who got fired for jacking off in front of our break/sandwich truck lady. She used to get there a few minutes before break time and she noticed this worker over at another of our buildings going to town on himself and smiling at her. She freaked and complained to our boss. The boss couldn't do anything at the time and instead spied on the guy the next day with binoculars to see the dirty deed and of course fired the dude. The bad thing is the break lady was so ugly even lightning would bypass her.

If I was working a shitty retail job, I know I wouldn't care whether or not people bought anything. Sure, if no one ever bought anything I might be out of a job eventually, but I'm pretty sure these guys don't work on commission. They do push Edge cards/pre-orders for more hours, though, which is why they're all annoying about that.

He was just trying to help out. If I saw someone buying Spongebob X Avatar: Battles in Bikinis, I might say something too.
