I also hate the people who come up with a cart full of stuff, get the total, and then ask you to take off items until it gets down to the amount of cash that they have. A little planning and some addition would really help here.

Lots of stupid stories...
When I was 16 my first job was as a cashier (or, as they put it, transactions manager) at a sporting goods store.
1) Girl, maybe 15 y/o, came into the store in a t-shirt and a skirt. Tries to nonchalantly walk out of store wearing a pair of baseball pants, black w/white stripe on side. Dumbest thing I've ever seen. She tried to say that she was wearing them when she walked in, we pointed to the cameras, she started crying. Most severe ownage I've ever seen.
2) Guy walks into store, walks through almost the entire store (he was there for at least 15 minutes). As he was leaving, it was clear he was VERY upset. Our greeter asked him if he could assist him in any way, and he said (and I quote): "This ain't a friggin' grocery store!"I don't know if he was illiterate, or what, but the name of the store doesn't imply groceries in any way... :laugh:
I have more...the level of stupidity involved in retail work is ridiculous. :laugh:
:laugh:
A bum came in one day when the restaurant was packed, and grabbed a bunch of slices of pizza from the warmer and ran off. We chased him down and he seemed like a crackhead, he said he was homeless and hungry so we just said screw it and went back to work.
A few months later the same guy comes in as I'm working the oven (right behind the warmer), and asks me for pizza. Recognizing him I say no, he goes into the bathroom. He comes out and both the manager and I are eyeballing him as he stares at the salad bar. Then he looks straight at us, grabs one hard boiled egg, puts it in his pocket and walks out.

i was helping a guest who was asking about cameras..and i dont care how long it takes..i will finish with one guest before going to the next..he was there first. well i had some guy getting irrate behind me and cussing trying to get my attention. i kept turning around and saying "sir i will be right with you when im done with this customer...he then proceeded to insult me..i turned around and responded with, "motha fvcker i will get to your ass as soon as this gentleman is finished, so shut the fvck up and look pretty."...i also got on the radio and said "Can someone come get this bitch before i knock him out.."...all of a sudden the manager came running all quick, "I GOT HIM I GOT HIM"...he saved that guy that night..i knew i overstepped my bounds and figured i was in trouble..nobody said anything to me about it lol.
Few weeks later the same dude came in and needed my help ringing him up..he just sat there with this head down while i rang up his stuff..i had a big grin on my face lol

Had a guy jerking off in the parking lot once. A lady saw him and ran inside. He came running in after her to apologize - his schlong was still hanging out.
actually no im 22..and i was abbreviating what was actually said because 1..i dont remember everything 2. that was a long paragraph and i got lazy... so unless u were there just shhhh
omg if I had a dollar for everytime I heard that I'd retire at 20... well maybe not quite, but I'd have quite a stash of cash saved up.
the best one was when I worked as a cashier at zellers, and these two cute girls came by from the pharmacy from the same mall. their stuff didn't scan and one of them said "oh it must free", and i just smiled, and the other one says "ya, that's where you laugh and pretend like it's funny, hahah, we hear that alot too"
One time, one of the pharmacists was trying to explain to this lady why her prescription was a certain price. The customer got really mad and said that we were charging her more because she was black, and she continued to call the pharmacist racist. She kept digging and digging at the the pharmacist until the she took out her wallet and showed the lady a picture of her son--whose father was black.
I had this happen to me, as well! I was working at my first job, handing out samples at a grocery store. I see this lady walk down the greeting card aisle, stop, and just take a sh!t on the floor.

while working at albertsons i walked up in the restrooms to piss and when i opened the door all the lights were off, pitch black. i went to searching for the lightswitch and some dick slams out of one of the stalls screaming like a maniac and ran off after he scared the sh1t out of me.
i was cleaning an aisle up one night about 3 aisles from the toy aisle. i'm mopping and all of a sudden a toy figurine STILL IN THE PACKAGE hit me upside the head. some ass threw it from the toy aisle and it just so happened to come to the aisle i was on.
usually when we were slow we would get on the intercom and whisper saying "i see dead people" and other stupid crap.
i use to glue quarters to the floor all the time.
man i miss working at albertsons, i had tons of fun.

makes mental note: "don't say 'I guess it's free then!'"
Hmmm....
Next time,
"in the old days, they typed in the price. You just shine a couple of lasers at it and can't even do that right."

One of mine:
(From the UK version of Best Buy)
Old woman walks into the store and walks around for some time, looking up and down each isle.
Eventually comes down to the service desk and plonks all her stuff down. Looks up at me, confused and a bit cross, and says "Young man, I cannot find your small-screen TVs!". At this point my brain stalls as I attempt to work out what the hell she's talking about (bearing in mind that this store does not, and has not, ever sold TVs; only computer stuff).
I finally work out that she wants a sister store, of a different name, branding, product lines, etc.
"Madam, this is <store name>" (there's also a huge 50ft sign with the store name hanging just above head height at the back of the store, and splashed liberally around the store in various guises).
Old lady looks up at hulking, lit sign.
"Ohh yeah."
"You want <sister store>"
"Where's that?"
"Next door".
"Where's that?"
"Through that wall" *points*
Sigh.
[Edit] Not forgetting, of course, the old man with the colostomy bag who bought training hours far too frequently for our liking. He would sit down with a slight squelching noise, see the look on our facesQ) and pat it saying "Don't worry, it's only my colostomy bag". We ended up giving him to the new guys when they started as an initiation ceremony, and he was dubbed Colostotard after a while.
Or, the old man who tried to return a kettle.

I have thousands, but here is the most recent.
I had a couple guys looking at car audio stuff. One was trying to impress the other with his "knowledge" of car audio. He was telling his friend about how he was going to put an in-dash DVD player in his car. Then he looks at me and asks if we have the box that makes it so you can get cable in your car.
I had to walk away.

LOL. I don't think we want to know or imagine what that guy was doing by himself in a pitch black restroom.
