Dumbass Custy Encounter

From another bitch to Walmart - "Walmart's Bi***" (not to be confused with RHU blogger Walmart Bitch):

I work at a Walmart on the west coast and I swear the custys are idiots.

I work as 2nd shift In-stock which means that as part of my job, I pull pallets out to the floor. Now typically these pallets can vary anywhere from 200 pounds to 2500 pounds, and this means that they are HARD to stop.

Custys like to stand in the middle of the aisle and EVEN though they can clearly see you coming they still refuse to move even when you say "excuse me please" 4-5 times. Then they glare at you for even DARING to ask them to move.

OR they move an inch or two. I mean COME ON my pallet is about 2 feet wide, and the aisle is 2 feet 1 inch wide. I still need you to move out of the aisle.

Then when your walking by a department, they ambush you asking your for help even though you have NEVER worked in that department. Ok, I'll help you if I can and usually I can since I've been there for two years.

But the other day I had a DUMBA** custy.

She asks me if this stereo plugs into the wall. So I look at the display model, which is RIGHT ABOVE THE STEREO DISPLAY, and see that yes, it does plug into the wall.

She then asks if it comes with the powercord.

WTF!!!

DUH! It comes with a power cord! It's not as if powercords are interchangeable. I mean, you can't take a powercord from a computer and plug into a radio or vice versa.

She then asks if she can OPEN THE F***ING BOX and check to make SURE it comes with one!

This makes me wish to do violence upon her, because she just hit a VERY personal pet peeve of mine. I tell her to ask an electronics associate to open it for her since I cannot.

I then continue to pull my pallet out to the sales floor.

A few minutes later I see her getting a totally different radio than the one she was looking at.

Man I hate custys, and the stupid will just get worse closer to the holidays.

Anyway happy holiday hell everyone.

Walmart's- Bi***

"Does it come with a power cord?" No the power cord is sold seperately along with the speakers and tuning knobs. I would hate to see the lady buy a car. "Does it come with tires, battery, carseat, engine.....?"

I've been rolling the store's pallet jack out front to help position a fresh pallet of salt or concrete and get much the same treatment from those in my path.

What's worse is, half the time they have a set of dumb questions, the first of which is "Do you work here?"

No sir/ma'am/thing, I'm just disguised in the company uniform so I can steal this rickety old bit of hydraulics. It's very heavy and I'll most likely be caught before getting to the corner, so please be a good little moron and distract someone who does work here whilst I abscond with this, eh?

I always hated the customers who would come in and shred a box so they could see the instructions of see what all came with a radio or tape player. The worst would be when they drop it all on the floor and demand that you provide them with an unopened product because "who would want to buy some piece of crap like that?"

Well, at least she was kind enough to ask you if she could open the package. Also, if it was an elderly lady, she might not know that much about electronics. I don't want to stereotype, but I know a few older women who hardly know how to access the internet.

My boyfriend works pallets at a grocery store and he has the same problem with customers standing right in his way, even though he asks them to move out of the way.

They probably don't know how much effort it takes to haul those around, and so they might think it's easy for you to maneuver.

You can swear on RHU, hon.
Just something for next time c:

I hate it when people stand right in the way =/
I've been at Wally World so many times, with friend's even and it'll be like;
Me: -Sees someone coming with a pallet- Oh. -Steps out of the way-
Friend: What are you doing?
Me: Moving out of the way -Gestures-
Friend: They can go around.
Me: And YOU, sir, can stop being a douche o:

BB- That reminds me of the other day I was in the produce department of the store I work at on my day off and a older lady in one of those electric wheelchairs knocked over a basket of those deocrative gourds. I started picking them up out of habit and the lady told me to stop and said "make them do it!" shouted at the produce boy to come pick it up for her. I kept picking them up anyway and the produce boy joked at me for working on my day off.

Actually, for my son's first Christmas, I bought him a radio from Wal Mart. It didn't come with a power cord. I took it back, and they informed me that that model never comes with one, and that it was a common complaint. So maybe the lady bought one of those.

I agree that some custys are dummies.. but in her defense... I didn't know power cords weren't interchangeable either.

Spritzy - Awh! Sad!!! Nice of you to help though, and funny that he mentioned it.

Burger Bitch - hahaha... I think I swear more on this site than I do when I'm talking on a daily basis.

[Burger Bitch]

Spritzy-
Ugh, that's so dumb.
I fix the candy when I'm waiting in line xD

Did the old lady actually need the scooter thing or was she just a fat cow? o:
Because my town is FILLED with those beasts.

Actually, I hate to say it but many power cords are interchangeable. As long as it's not one with a transformer or hardwired, a standard NEMA 1-15 can often be swapped for another standard NEMA 1-15 as long as the profile matches that of the device.

Which is sad and geeky, but true. Look on a portable radio for an example.

I know exactly the people you are talking about - and it doesn't just apply at work! I loaded up one of those big blue carts at Lowe's with about 400 pounds of laminate flooring and pushed it through the store. Those carts aren't nearly as easy to navigate as a pallet jack, yet *I* was the one that had to move so that nobody got run over. Holy shit that pisses me off!!!
