Re: What is driving you crazy right now?

Custommerrrrrsss

Today at work I was already in not a great emotional and mental place. And late in the day I got snapped and yelled at by two customers for not making their subs neatly and I had to take a break so I could stop crying.

When will customers realize we're not robots, and have shit going on in our own lives? Maybe the girl who's speaking softly and occasionally sniffing and looks like she's trying her best not to cry while you berate her has something going on???

Hugs for you, babe. Customers can be such rude, entitled, high-horse arseholes and sometimes have absolutely zero sensitivity to how we're feeling. I've had a few days like that recently and it sucks. I hope you feel better soon. x

Thanks. I think I would have been able to deal otherwise. but today was just a shit day. *hugs back*

And yeah. They also get pissy over the stupidest stuff. Meat not being perfectly shaved, subs looking kinda messy (yeah you try making, slicing (three slices!) and wrapping a sub with a pile of stuff on it so it can barely close and keep it totally neat), being shown cheese thickness in the Approved Harris Teeter method. These are all things customers have gotten pissy at us about.

A nice manager from Produce managed to cheer me up . commenting "she's eating it not wearing it" That got a giggle out of me even when I was still sniffly.

My coworkers are very understanding and kind. I'm grateful for that.

I know those days, straw that broke the camel's back and all that. :( I made a stupid mistake last week (one of those where everything you do to frantically try and fix it just makes it worse) and the customer was chill about it, but my manager couldn't stop me crying afterwards.

Honestly, people are way too quick to judge and complain about that sort of thing when they don't know how difficult it can be. I watch the staff at the Subway or burrito place in my town and it just looks like fucking magic to me, like I don't know how anyone can do intricate stuff like that under pressure, so props to you.

That manager sounds awesome. My friend just started working in the produce isle at a supermarket and he gets customers complaining because a vegetable is "oddly shaped" etc. Are you putting it on display for the Turner Prize or something? It's a vegetable, it's not always gonna look perfect but it tastes exactly the same! /rage. I'm glad your co-workers are cool, though. Good staff can make a tough job so much better.
