Thanks to everyone for their comments. I'm glad to see that I'm not alone in my 'suffering'.

I have decided that I will not be working in retail next holiday season (if I can help it). This is completely nuts! Luckily, I will be graduating in the spring and will hopefully get a job in my chosen field. Until then, here are a list of my latest incounters wiuth the rude hoiliday goers in southeaster Wisconsin (in no perticu;ar order):

- The rude guy who walked up to my counter, slammed down his keys and said 'I want that GPS thinge behind you' in a very loud and condesending voice. Then preseaded to tap his fingers as I told him that I would help once I was finsihed witht he TWO other customers he cut in front of.

- A woman who demanded that I sell her the rip stick that was on sale ONLY during our two day door buster, last Fri and Sat, then swore at me because SHE didn't read the large print on top of the ad stating the price was only available those to days. She finally left (swearing) after the manager told her he WOULD NOT honor that price, as it clearly stated on the ad the time restriction.

- The couple that came into the store, and tried to return a bunch of items that had rebates. The barcodes were torn off and the receipt was from 10 months ago and we no longer had the item in stock. They were told that we could refund (via gift card) the price minus the rebate they got in the mail. (this is per our policy). They sighed and swore and left. Went to another store (as they called us) and then came back. Still angry and rude... but took the gift card.


I'll share more of my adventures another time. Class is starting soon.
