GRRR!
Customers SUUUCCCKKK.
I work in the fucking coffee shop on campus. And here are a few things they do that piss me the hell off
1. ORDERING ITEMS NOT ON THE MENU
People come in and ask me for a milkshake or a frappacino and I tell them we don't make them. When it is about frappacinos they ask me why I don't make them and I tell them "Because frappacinos are a copyrighted starbucks recipe" and they say "But this IS starbucks" I tell them "No, this is the Florham Perk" and the point to the sign next to me that says We Proudly Brew Starbucks Coffee, and I tel them that means we just serve their coffee. THEN they ask me if I can just make it anyway. I tell them I don't know how and they keep whining at me for not just trying it. It is also not on the computer so I cannot charge for it. So JUST STOP ASKING FOR SHIT THAT ISN'T ON THE MENU! READ THE MENU, FIND WHAT PEAKS YOUR INTEREST AND ORDER IT! IT'S NOT HARD!!!
2. BITCHING AT ME WHEN I RUN OUT OF SOMETHING!
A customer ordered a smoothie, I go and make it and as I am finishing they say "Oh, can i get whipped cream on that?" and I tell them "I am sorry, we are out" and they are like "Oh my god, are you serious? You don't have ANY left?" and I said "I'm sorry" and they go "Well....cant you MAKE more?" and I said "No, we don't have the stuff to make it, that is why we are out" and they act like the smoothie is 100 percent not enjoyable without cholesteral infested whipped cream on top of it. Just learn to take no for an answer sometimes. Holy crap.
3. HAVE MONEY WHEN YOU ORDER!
My school uses flex dollar. So the students have a card with 300 dollars of flex money they can use to get food. So when they buy stuff at the shop they usually just swipe their card. So a customer comes up, orders somethin, i make it and ask for their card, they hand it to me, i swipe and discover there is no money on them. They look at me like "Oh.." so I ask if they have cash on them and of course they do not. That is annoying as hell. Go online anf check your account so you know when you are out and carry 2 fucking dollars on you for a cup of coffee.
4. GO AWAY WHEN I AM CLOSING!!!!
So it is time to close and I shut the doors. HINT HINT! THE DOOR IS CLOSED! and I start cleanin up, But oh not, the happy customer sees the door than is normally open closed and they just waltz on in and ask for the hardest items to make on the menu at fucking midnight. I say we are closed and they fucking whine at me like "Can't you just make it?" "Pleeaaassee" and blah blah blah. Once again, people won't fucking take no for an answer cuz they are fucking brats. It is annoying as hell to make a whole new pot of coffee two seconds before it is closed to make you a fucking latte at midnight.
lass don't stop for a latte. Get a regular cup of coffee so then I only have to pour it and maybe add milk.

i actually realized the other day that since the few hours a week (in total) that i have to deal with people at my job annoys me to no end, that if i had to go back to retail, im liable to actually choke someone.
i dont mind doing my job, but i cant stand when people expect you to basically blow them because, "the customer is always right," or some such bullshit. i have my own rule. "the customer can always shut the fuck up and go jump in front of a bus."
