Exactly! I had one lady want a cotton candy frappe with the coffee base. I was like "are you sure?" She was absolutely positive. Then she wanted a refund because it was discusting and my fault... :/

I finished up shopping for my SS yesterday and wrapped everything up today! Now I'm just trying to figure out the best way to ship it. Also, now I'm seriously craving Starbucks and want to see if they have that adorable tumbler in stock. Now I'm off to get Starbucks and go to a local shop that has a Christmas animals display. Yay!

For the most part we had some great regulars and I really liked it there. It is a pretty good place to work as long as the crazies stay home.
I don't know what it is but being really polite and not rising to the occasion pisses people off for no reason. I've smiled at people and had them scowl back at me harder. It used to upset me and then it got real funny real quick because you could piss them off completely within the realm of non-fireable offenses.

That sounds disgusting, blech.

My friend works at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and they sell them there! She has sent me so many things from there, I wanted to share the yummy-ness. It is pretty much just green m&m's.

OMG I WOULD JUST DIE OF HAPPINESS IF I GOT THAT LOLLLLLL
My friend recently got me a chocolate frog from there. He's chillin' right here next to me.
I have to make shakes at Godiva all the time and I take secret joy in telling customers, "I'm sorry but we are not allowed to customize drinks. The strawberry shake only comes in white chocolate, I can't make a dark chocolate caramel shake, and the white chocolate raspberry shakes have been discontinued, etc."
It's against company protocol- yay!

Bahahhaha. Yes, I work in retail and have been for 11 years. I've dealt with all kinds of crazy people over the years. People stand in front of me all the time butt naked with the fitting room open shootin the breeze like its no big deal. Lol. And of course there's the people who start fights with me over the return policy and swear and scream at me like it's my problem they can't read the return policy that's printed on their receipt. Whatever. It makes me laugh. But whenever it happens it does make me hate people a little bit more each time. I just don't understand how people can be so ridiculous sometimes. Ugh and the holidays bring out the very BEST in people! Oh joy

I love Harry Potter but didn't specify in my wish list or any surveys. But either way, it's chocolate. So if there a fan of chocolate, id say it's fair game.I'm kinda sad that my SS isn't a Harry Potter fanatic (at least it didn't say so in their info) because I really wanted to get them this as an extra
Lol. Yes! kill them with kindness. I'm nice as I possibly can be while they're in my store and when they leave I'll witch about them for hours to make myself feel better. I had some lady say to me "oh but you're just a store worker" the other day. I just wanted to be like listen here lady, I'm the store manger and I'm running a multi million dollar business and I didnt go to college for 6 years for you to treat me like this! But of course I just smiled and continued helping her. Bottom line is I still need my business to make money, and being rude to her would only be stooping to her level. I'd rather be the bigger person and just let it slide while talking shit about her in my mind. Though come talk to me after Black Friday. I may have different opinions. Lol. I'm really hoping people remember to be nice to those of use who work in retail and service oriented jobs during the holiday. It just makes things easier for everyone.

I don't know what gets into them, it's insane. They do things I would never consider doing to someone. I have never EVER asked an associate to smell my hair and tell me what shampoo I bought here last month because "I can't remember the name" *shudder*.

It is pretty fun speculating who may or may not have you. The longer we all keep posting as the days go by before the reveals, we are able to rule out certain people. But there are always those stealth ones who fly under the radar and don't post in this thread. Darn them! Lol
I once worked the horror that is a hobby store/patio store in the summer and Christmas tree store in the winter. I worked over Thanksgiving and Christmas as extra help while I was home from college, and it was awful. We only had two registers, it was the day after Christmas with all the returns, and I had a lady who wanted to pay for something with 21$ in pennies. Seriously. She was yelling at me that I didn't need to count them, and of course, I did in fact have to count 2100 pennies (it was a giant sack o' coins). I would have been happy to help her, but not with a giant line and not while she was being mean. She ended up being 3 pennies short, and as much as I wanted to, we were not allowed to make up differences, so a kind customer chipped in the last 3 cents so that we could get the line moving again. That was over 19 years ago and I will never forget her. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Like my giftee! I have a wish list to go off of and that's it. I need more details! I want to spoil you silly darling, what movies do you like? Should I send candy? Bath salts, any pets? I feel like I want to know her like my best friend. I'm being a bit ridiculous.

I'm glad I don't have a friend like yours, otherwise I stuff myself sick with so many chocolate frogs & Bertie Bott beans.
