it happens

So with being a hub supervisor i will..

Be in a management position and do manager type things
have 3-5 trucks under my control and drivers to go with them
more pay
set, full time hours, 40 hour weeks, probably like 8 to 4 or something like that
be respected like a boss
have responsibilities and shit

I’m excited, but I just don’t want to screw anything up.

It’s not going to be until April, so I have some time still. but I’m still pretty excited.

Working in retail is annoying.

I hate it when I finish scanning all of someones items, and then I’m like okay, that’ll be $44.37, and the customer just stands there and says “okay”

Hello. Give me, the money…

It happens at least once a day.

Conversation

So the lady with her child walks into the store while talking on the phone, which first of all is rude as hell, and then wants me to warranty out her brake pads. Okay whatever, I start the process, they're in one of our boxes, part# MKD1327, okay, so I open the box and find some very warn out pads, ok, i flip one over and it says "MOPAR" for those of you who don't know, MOPAR is factory installed parts on Chrysler, just like Motorcraft to Ford or ACDelco to GM.
Me: I can and will not warranty your factory pads ma'am.
Her: Well why not?
Me: They're not our pads, yes this is out box, but it says MOPAR right here. (I show her)
Her: Well I don't understand why you can't just scan the box and warranty them?
Me: Because they're not our pads. (Handing the box back to her)
Her: Just scan the box and give me my money.
Me: No.
Her: Whatever, I'll see if Autozone will do it.
Me: Sure thing, I hope they do that for you.
Eric: Is she fucking retarded?
Me: Must be, I don't know. I hate dumb people who think we're dumb.
Like seriously. The amount of fraud people try to do is ridiculous.

So we have a calendar in the office that we usually only use so we can see what day it is. Nothing is ever written on it.

But last week I decided I would write on it, so on today, Feb 14th, I wrote “Lonely Brad day” in celebration of Valentine’s Day.

Yup.

The district manager visits tomorrow we’ll see if he notices. Haha.

Customer: I am looking for a specific exhaust reducer.
Me: All of our exhaust is in aisle 3.
Customer: I don't see what I'm looking for. Can you check in the back?
Me: That's all we have for exhaust.
Customer: Can you just check please?
Me: There's nothing to check that's all we have.
Customer: But can you look?
Me:
Customer:
Me:
Customer:
Me: If you'd like we can find it in our thousand page catalog and you can wait 3 to 5 days for shipping.
Customer: So there is none in the back? Can I take a look?
Me: No that's a liability for us I can't let you in the back.
Customer: Well then can you look?
Me: No. Now leave.
My Manager: Hey can you pull out the rest of the exhaust from the back and put it on the floor?
Me: Wut.

Customer: Yes, I have this battery, I need a new one.
Me: Okay, for your car that'll be 106.99 plus tax and I won't be charging you a core charge since you brought the old one in already.
Customer: But it's under warranty, I bought it last year and it says 2 years right here.
Me: But it's from Wal-Mart
Customer:
Me:

Me:
Customer leaves.

Customer walks in the door
Me: Hey, Can I help you find anything today?
Customer: NO, I'VE BEEN COMING HERE FOR YEARS I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING. I DON'T NEED YOU!
Me: Okay let me know if you need anything else.
Customer goes and stands in wiper blade aisle for about 5 minutes.
Me: Did you need me to look up what size wiper blades you need?
Customer: Yeah, I have a 99 Astro Van
Me knowing without looking it up: 18s on both sides
Customer: Okay thanks, I'll take these.
BITCH YOU SHOULD'NT HAVE BEEN ALL GROUCHY, COULD HAVE GOTTEN YOU OUT OF HERE THAT MUCH QUICKER.
