Clean Up on Floor: 3

One dead night working at the movie theater, an usher and I were making our rounds and get a call on our walkies that a woman had barfed in the woman's bathroom. Disgusting enough as it is, we went up the the third floor and opened the door. The smell was disgusting! We looked through each stall and finally found it but it wasn't barf...

it was DIARRHEA!!! Not only that, it was all over the seat, all over the wall, and all over the floor. It looked like this poor lady didn't have time to take a seat cover out before her butt exploded. To make it even better, it was all dry on and not even a wet mop could take it off the seat.

Love Note

A really weird, creepy man came into the theater to watch a movie. He wouldn't stop staring at my manager. He left and came back a few times.

Later, a man came running out of the bathroom and told us that someone had written a message on the wall. Another usher and I went in and saw that someone had written "I Know I Love You" in huge letters on the back wall

Ignored

I was working at the entrance of the library and had just made a big sign with an arrow showing the direction of where the restrooms were located. Right as I placed the sign up, a customer came up to me and asked "Hi, do you know where the restrooms are?" I pointed at the sign I just made along with two other signs behind him.

Please Repeat?

I work at a library at the circulation desk. It's where you check out books. A customer came up to me and asked, "Excuse me, is this where you check out books?" Obviously I responded, "Yes". Unfortunately this customer didn't understand what I was saying and repeatedly asked me the same question several times. I would think they could at least understand a simple "Yes."

Raining Inside

There was a loud thunder-clap sound and then water started pouring out of the cracks in the ceiling and the light fixtures. This would've made more sense if the roof was actually above the store's ceiling, but it's not. There are condos right above the store.

Managers started freaking out telling everyone to move the clothes away from the water. Customers were trying to take pictures and video inside the store and we had to run around and dance in front of their cameras to prevent them from taking any footage.

Customers in the fitting room were complaining, "Well, can I still buy my stuff?" even after I was telling them that we were evacuating the store. One customer wouldn't stop trying on garments even after almost everyone had left the second floor and were exiting the store.

As I was going down the escalator, a customer cried out, "I left my cell phone in the fitting room!" After searching every room, I told her I couldn't find it and she then told me matter-of-factly, "Oh! It was inside my purse!"

Even during an emergency, customers are more concerned about their materialistic things than a worker's safety.

Disgusted

A middle-aged customer came up to me and said she was looking for a vest that she saw in a picture. I asked her if it was in a magazine or in one of the posters that we have in the store. She said she saw it in an advertisement on a bus. I hadn't seen the ad and asked her to describe it to me instead so that I can help her find it. Instead of being happy that I wanted to help her, she made a disgusted face and walked away.

Big Signs

A customer came up to me, picked up an item, and asked me for its price. I pointed to the big sign right behind it.

Couldn't Hold It

Today, a grown lady peed in one of the fitting rooms.

Extra Butter Please?

I was working in the concessions stand for a small movie theater when a lady came and ordered a large popcorn with EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA butter which was layered as well. She went and saw her movie and later came back and yelled at the concessions people because the butter had leaked through the bag and stained her pants. She asked to see the manager and when he arrived she demanded that we pay her to get new pants.

Tips Please?

I worked for a small timeshare resort and on a hot day the elevator broke down. A couple came in complained about having to walk nine floors to their room on the top floor. After they went up, I was left to take their bags up to the ninth floor. I didn't want to make multiple trips so I took all five of their huge bags up nine floors. I arrived at their door dripping in sweat, breathing heavily, and was rewarded $2 for my troubles.

Apples =/= Oranges

A customer looked through these giant bins by the cash registers that hold small items such as socks, umbrellas, hair accessories, etc. He picked up a pair of socks and proceeded to purchase them. I rang him up and handed him his change.

The customer was surprised since he was expecting more back. Usually, customers don't realize how high the sales tax is and so I informed him of it. He still wasn't satisfied. I pointed out that the pack of socks were $14.95 and he proceeded to point to a sign that was by the bins that read $6.95. I then proceeded to point out how the sign also read in big bold and capital letters: "UMBRELLAS"

Socks are obviously not umbrellas.

Standing in the Middle of Obvious

A customer came up to me and asked for the women's department. This would've been a reasonable question . . . if the entire floor wasn't the women's department.
