Every Sunday in my store we open 30mins early so folk can browse....

And the same ten to fifteen people rush in every Sunday, fill up there trolleys in 10mins because the stores dead/were just finishing tidying up from the overnight delivery

They then rush down to the checkouts/self scan and spend the remaining fifteen to twenty minutes, huffing, puffing, muttering "come on hurry up!"

We cannot put any transactions through before ten o'clock, Sunday trading laws... you know this, we have told you this...

Yet every Sunday you rush in like lemmings expecting something different? Im sure that's a definition of insanity....

Sorry just needed a rant just tired of explaining the same things to the same folks every Sunday

This is a short one but im still mad about it....

We have headsets in our store to make it easier to communicate etc unless you have to wear hearing aids...

And yesterday one colleague asked six fucking times for a colleague who can't wear a headset because they wear hearing aids...

They were told on the the second time that X colleague doesn't wear a headset because you know hearing aids..

But still the dumb ass kept asking!! And got told they don't wear one...!!!

Ok this happened an hour ago UK time, im once again taking argos delivery down no big deal three cages, whip them down one by one on the electric truck

On the way back a woman is running up and down our frozen aisle looking for something

I stop and ask to be helpful

"What you looking for love?"

"Ice pops ready to freeze"

My does blue screen of death reboots and realises what she just said....

"Baking aisle with all the wafer cones and ice cream toppings"

"Thanks!"

She charges off

Why in the name of sanity would be looking for READY TO FREEZE products on the frozen aisle?!!!

It's 9.15am right now and im already wondering if its to early to crack open a beer lol

We have an extra special winner!!!

Yesterday morning i unloaded the morning argos delivery... on it were two huge 30kg bbqs for customer collection.... tremendous...

Day goes on, im asked to go to argos to help with something, that something being....

Yup you guessed it one of the huge bbqs, I grab a small flatbed to wheel it to there car... OMFG!!!

It was a mother fucking SMART CAR!!!

Straight away I said its not going to fit...

The customer being a stubborn lady of a late gen X type insists it will....

For 15mins we tried to cram it in....

She ended up taking it back in store and asking could she pick it up tomorrow when a friend with a bigger car could come help.... she went nuclear when she got told no...

As because the item had now been flagged as collected its her issue now etc

She ended up ordering an uber to follow her home in her tiny car and it was around 4pm here in the 🇬🇧 when she left.... and guys that's when tea time traffic starts kids finish school, people going home from work etc

I looked on my uber app... prices were between 8 and 12 pounds... Argos delivery charges start from £3.95 for small items, with Fast Track same-day delivery available for £7.95 (ordered by 1pm). Large item delivery starts from £9.95, sooo yeah lol don't rock up in a clown car to pick up a four burner gas powered 30kg bbq just to save a few quid.
