Retail workers, what do you hate most?

For me its not the customers that piss me off it's my coworkers. So I have worked for lowes 20 months, 5 different departments. Right now I work lumber. And the people in proservices think they can boss us lumber guys around cause we're younger. This one woman in particular hates me for setting up the carts different. I told her, until you start helping out in lumber or closing every night like I do, I'm gonna set them up the way I think is most efficient. Oh no she wouldnt have that. Instead of tackling it the way an adult should, she threw a tantrum and is pouting. And now every interaction between us is always hostile. Kind of funny to me honestly.

I haven't worked in retail for several years but it was the manager's ignoring requests to take care of issues in the store. Employees would e-mail corporate to complain and something would get done. All he seemed to care about was getting a fat bonus at the end of the year

I can't abide the online shopping pickers that arrive in the morning and completely fuck up my hard work from the night before.

I know things have to go out, but when they pick the wrong thing up they could at least put it back where and how they found it instead of just dumping it anywhere convenient to them 😠

@Quizzical oh for sure. We put all returns and misplaced items in a cart and let customer service sort them. Problem is they send the wrong stuff to the wrong department everyday. I get glue, garden stakes, tools, etc.

@CuddleFeesh I've ended up with frigging xmas decorations, lol

Not bad considering I'm on crisps 🙄

[c=#002673]When I worked retail it was the customers I couldn't stand. Wanting to use 6 month expire coupons, complaints that old people don't get discounts, stuff like that. Not my fault or my problem![/c]

@Virgo94 if you were a cashier I get that, but I don't usually deal with that aspect of customers.

@CuddleFeesh I was a cashier and had to go stocking to.
