Things That Have Been Irritating Me...

I notice that the retail store where I work seems to be a top
place for social gatherings...one would think that a restaurant
would be a better spot for those kinds of things.

I was standing up front near the checkouts where I work,
and I watched a group of about 7 people stand in a circle right
in front of the cart return area at the entrance. This was such a
convenient spot to be in the way of customers leaving and entering the
store.

Another thing at work that annoys me...people that repeat themselves
when asking me for help. It would not be so bad if those people did not
use a sarcastic voice when repeating themselves, like I have some type of
mental disorder.

For example, I was standing at my work post and a lady came up to me and
began asking me where the jewelry counter is, but she was not yet close
enough for me to hear her. I said, "The jewelry counter?", and she
practically yelled back "Yeah, the jewelry counter!" in a not-so-pleasant
tone. My only intent was to make sure I heard her correctly and to
help. You can't please everyone, I guess...

Both of the things I mentioned above happen more than I would expect
them to, and the rude customers wanting help actually happened twice
today during my 4-hour shift.

Hopefully not many of my blog entries will not be ranting ones like this!
