Episode 1: Either I mis-counted three times, or she mis-counted once. (This was when I made this art.) The total for the checkout was $357.86, she handed me $350 $30 of which was in $1's... I guess she thought she had another $10 in there somewhere. The latter two times I counted out loud, her boyfriend heard me doing so, when she got pissed he was shaking his head at her, but she ignored him like she did everything else. I later heard managers being called to register 12, but they didn't say what for... but knowing that the gal on 12 at the time is the best cashier we've got on night shift...
Episode 2: Guys I don't even watch TV, I certainly don't watch movies. How am I supposed to know that there're three big hits being released tonight? I went and looked in the back for you and couldn't find any sign of them...
(Heard over the radio, not only that they complained about my incompetence, but that the pallet with said new releases was accidentially placed on the very top shelf in the binning area, which I don't even have access to, and cannot see from ground-level.)
Episode 3: So I heard this one before I saw her, which in electronics with the brainwashing AND the buffer blowing is definately saying something... She had a digital camera in hand... I had not touched the cabinet all night so I have to wonder how she got it out... she demanded that I check her out back here and run up front to buy her a pack of death sticks. She claimed to have tried earlier to check out here and the people (plural) told her to go up front, so she stood in line there, and they told her to got back to the back to check out... and now she's in line a third time being exceptionally un-ruly... My brain froze, I owe my life practically to a smooth collegue who escorted her back up front to fume at all three managers who were on that night. Thank goodness for that little clause of "We have the right to deny you service on reasonable grounds."* Dropping the F-bomb 3 times in 2 seconds is reasonable grounds as far as we're concerned. *A handy clause within the Commonwealth of Virginia. Sadly this clause may not be applicable where you live.
Episode 4: Purely over the phone, some gal set down her purse near the video games case and forgot to pick it up again. She never actually said when she did this, but she called back and asked me to go look for it, which I did. She didn't believe me so she asked to speak with a manager, so I asked one to pick up and left it there. She called back 20 minutes later, apologized for dropping more swear words than the Boondock Saints (1&2), and proceeded to ask me to look again, which I did. After a while I just stopped answering the phone, so someone else answered and got the same treatment and then some... There were violence threats, revelations of a career as a stripper, which I didn't think was possible now that Hooters went out of business... The managers told us "If she calls again, put her on hold and don't pick up again."
Episode 5: I'm not sure whether I hit the wrong key, or if his card really was denied... but he decided to pay with a check, which I'd never done before, so to be safe I asked a manager to come help. One did not respond within 20 seconds (claimed as minutes) so the guy got impatient, took his items still in bag, and went up front. About 12 seconds later the transaction was succesfully aborted on my end. Just afterwards I heard a plea for help at self-checkout, and kinda knew what was going on, so I went to give my help, as did the manager who authorized the transaction abort. The guy was claiming that he had already paid for some of the items and I had never given him a receipt, when a transaction is aborted no receipt is printed, so in a way, this is true. Apparently the guy was also trying to check out using temporary checks, which we do not take and the system does not recognize, and he wanted $40 cash back when the limit on checks is $20. He claimed that someone else had allowed more than $20 before, to which the managers (all three again) replied that that person will be fired if caught. The customer left in a rage, and didn't purchase anything.
Episode 6: I think there'll be a developing plot with this one, or a bar story either way...
Two months after Episode 4 the lady called again, calmly, not swearing up a storm... Asked to talk to someone whos name I did not recognize. I got on the walkie and asked a manager, seems not only did he work 2nd shift but he'd been FIRED three weeks earlier. I told her this, and she was like "shit, fucker owes me three-hundred bucks... anything you can do about that?" "I think that's a matter for the police ma'am." "Well... have you found my purse yet?" "Nope, wanna come help me look for it?" "Well F*** you boy I want my purse back you D***!!!" * ~ahem!~... Madam, I've looked for your purse 12 times over the last few weeks since you first called, It's, Not, Here." "Well F*** you!!! Go Look Again!! I want my purse back!!" "Madam, don't call us again. Please." Yes I did say please, I think that took her very off-guard because she hasn't called back...
Episode 7: Guy comes up with a Skylanders toy, whose price I'm pretty sure is around $2.88 (We get a box of those pretty much every night). I rang it up and it came out to about $3.15 and he was handing me a $5 so... good right? Nope, he yanked his money back and tried to claim that it was on a $0.98 peg (we don't even HAVE that low a price in the WHOLE department), I pointed to the register display showing the ACTUAL PRICE. Then he claimed that I should just overwrite the price for him anyway... I explained that I couldn't since I'm just a stocker. He FINALLY took a good look at my badge, apologized, and took the toy up front to try the same thing (this was going down about 2 minutes AFTER 1st shift was supposed to get on clock, ba***rds are always late). Ultimately he didn't get the toy, after I'd clocked out and was heading over to toys (nerfs Magnus had been released the night before and I'd stopped by the ATM) I saw him putting the Skylander back on the correct peg, then he went to clock in himself. Ba***rds are always late.
Episode 8: I'd prefer not to mention this one, it was quite scarring...
Episode 9: Ya'll might've heard about this one, the $90 PS4 deal from Amazon? My store is down $5,100 because one of the managers caved at that. We had one "gentleman" and his "mother" or "grandmother", or for all I know "great-grandmother" come in two days in a row trying to get a PS4 for $49.97 (an end of 7 cents is EXTREMELY RARE at walmart these days). Upon being denied that they re-photoshopped the image up to $89.96 (a much more common final digit) and came back. This time they came back during first shift, and managed to talk someone into it. We lost 14 units that morning, and the 3 associates in electronics on 2nd shift hid, then bought the last 3. Lucky kiddos, they can't be punished for that either... >:3
There was apparently one customer who tried to play too foul a card, one of the wiser managers asked him to hit the back or refresh button on his mobile browser. When the customer refused to do so he was denied service (a right of any employee within the Commonwealth of Virginia) and ultimately got escorted out of the store. Yay.
We were supposed to have PS4 bundle deals for blackFriday Thursday, and I'm willing to bet those were the 17 we gave away, so that line may not be happening this year.
So yeah. It's been confirmed as a scam/hoax and no more PS4's will be sold for stupidly cheap.
Intermission (prank calls): Step 1: Put duct-tape over the mouths of your friends, it's a red-flag when we hear a bunch of adolescent males GIGGLEing in the background. Step 2: Make sure the person who picks up is just as horny as you, or you may be dissapointed. Case in point, 24 bags of M&M's on Layaway at 3am for a "Mike Litoris"... I am a pronounciation Nazi, You have to prounounce it the naughty way first before I'll say "Yiff" in the most unamused voice ever, and hang up. Speaking of which, Step 3: Make sure the person who picked up isn't a better troll than you.
