- The Greeter
- Oh yes, can I please, please, please stand at the door and act like a fool. Then they go even further and beg you to say hello in a different way to each customer. 1,000+ ways to say hello should be part of orientation.
- The Whole Look
- Hours upon hours upon hours of setting up full outfits, windows, rooms, etc... All so you horrible customers can come along and destroy it in some self-satisfyingly ritual. As if making the store a mess makes up for the fact that you have to clean the dishes and pick up your dirty laundry at home. Then I get to pick it up. Luuuuuucky me!
- Muzak
- It has been scientifically proven that music will control how people shop. (Baaaaa, we are all mindless sheep). Only after sitting through the same 15 Songs on repeat for a 10 hour shift will you understand true pain and torture. The person who invented Muzak should be locked in a store for 36 hours with Christmas music on repeat, that'll be perfect punishment for his horrible creation.
- BOGO
- This is a two-fold issue. I hate BOGO because there is always that ONE customer that assumes you will always have BOGO. When the company decides to take a break from that sale all HELL breaks loose from this customer. It's like you stepped on a puppy in front of them. The other side of the coin is the customer who can not be bothered with reading the signs, so when you tell them it's BOGO they look at you wide eyed and say "really?"
Well, I think that's enough rage tonight... don't you think? I just happened upon an article that talked about these things and couldn't help remembering all the pain that was associated with "making a buck" and felt the sudden urge to blog about it.
Until tomorrow my dears.
