Dumbass Walmart Customer Gets Told

Must be something in the cold air...or perhaps the holidays have short circuited our patience panels, but another RHU Blogger gets a Retail Balls Award! Depot Demon faces off with a super stupid custy at Walmart:

My fellow slaves,

DepotDemon speaking to you all about the age old question that is the bane of all retail...

"Do you work here?"

We all know that this question does not end well, but for once it does.

I am one of those people who shops at Wally World, way more often than I should, but what can I say? I'm cheap. :/ I never wear a blue shirt near the place, but still I get asked if I work there.

I work another job as a security guard...wait, officer (eye roll inserted here) and the uniform is a white dress shirt, and dark grey dress pants. Al long as memory serves, those colors come nowhere near blue and khaki, in any demension.

To top it off, I have a heavy winter coat on.

I'm standing in mens wear looking for gloves, and this obnoxious fat lady turns to me, and asks very loudly and gratingly (is that even a word?) "Do you work here?"

To which I look down at my outfit, look back up, and say "Are you kidding me? Does it look like I fucking work here? I mean I know white looks like blue but I'm sorry I don't."

As she walked away, I heard a grumble about "the manager" or something.

I suppose I could have been nicer, but I did just come from Depot and there was 3 years of repressed Depot anger and I just didn't give a damn.

So for once, I got to say what I really felt and it felt AWESOME!!!!!! Bwhahaha!

Very awesome. Got that comment when I was at an Asian food store. Just because I'm Asian and am in an Asian food store, does not equal I work there. Did I have the uniform on? No, I was decked in leather and boots, complete with shoulder bag, cell phone out.

Hee! That's so win.

YES! Way to go! I hate it when people just grab the closest person and think they know the layout of the store better than them. If you don't know where something is, exercise a bit and find it yourself! I only bother store personnel as a last resort, even if I have to do the walking myself, and I use a cane or a service dog.

I once saw some stupid woman ask a lady in a doctor's coat if she works here.....in a freakin' grocery store!! Butcher, surgeon, they both use knives right? :-P
Such idiots out there.

I used to get that all the time. Sure, I'm in a coat and hat with my backpack on, sure I work here in the dollar store! wtf? I sooo want someone to say that now, so I can rip into them (but only if they ask in a snotty way). heeheehee.

I once got asked that in Kohls while I was on the way to a wedding; we stopped because my hubby decided at the last minute that he needed a new tie. Oddly enough I've never actually seen a Kohls employee decked out in a long silk skirt and dressy top with their hair and make up all done.

I was getting my ears pierced at a tween store (shut up, it was cheap). Typical lunch rush, the poor slave behind the register was alone with a crowd of like 50 people in a store that can only hold 25. I told her I was a slave m'self, so she could take all the time she needed, I had all day to wait. I'm sitting there, in a shirt advertising the game Assassin's Creed, purse with me, reading 'Death Note' in the chair, waiting on her. In NO WAY do I look like I work at a store advertised to tweens.

The first lady comes up and says 'Hey, which of your earrings are buy 2 get 1 free?' I looked up at her and said 'Lady, does it LOOK like I work here? Go away.'

The second one comes up and says 'Are all your purses on this wall on sale this week?' I respond with 'Look, honey, I sell lung cancer to people, I don't peddle any 'Hanny Montanny' crap.' Both went to the poor slave demanding I be fired for my rude attitude. The slave explained I was a customer, and they both left, embarrassed.
