Crazy jobs

[mr.magic1]

Hi I just wanted to know some crazy things that happened on your job?

One day while I was working at home depot this guy bought a hammer. A few hours later he showed up again saying that he had droped the hammer on his toes and wanted a 100 dollar gift certifacate or he would sue, I told him that acording to the rules I could not so he left and I havent seen him since

Same thing happened to me, kinda. I was the only one in the shop at the time, and voila.

Mejust finished selling a guy a playstation)(to the next person in the queue)You guys okay there?

Angry looking woman with large family: No, I'm waiting to be served. (glares)

Me: Uh, Ok, how can I help...(Interrupted)

Woman: I've never been talked to so rudely in my life! I'm never shopping here again, how dare you treat me like this! I'm talking to your head office and making a formal complaint!

(woman and family storm off)

Guy who's next in line: eh?!

Me: I go no idea...

The kicker was my manager came down five minutes later, the woman came back in, complained and left. Pretty much every other customer in the store then went to protest my innocence. Score one for the poor abused sales assistants everywhere!

Oh how I wish something crazy would happen, just to make the day interesting...

My big tall fat Scottish chef of a boss slipped over in the walk in fridge. That was the event of the month. Thats how un-crazy my workplace is.

I work at a liquor store, so I deal with crazy ass people all of the time. Just the other day, someone came in and complained his beer was flat. Since we get refunds on practically anything we send back to the distribution, I took it back and let the person get a new case, but they somehow thought it was our fault.

Or, this other time, a guy came in to get some pre-mixed margarita stuff. I told him to put it in the freezer for a little bit, and when he opened it up, it would be slushy and ready to drink. The moron left it in the freezer overnight and it burst everywhere.

Some people are just fucking stupid.

Edit: Oh yeah, and never EVER give a discount to anyone. They will expect it from then on and will ***** to no end if they don't get it.

Back when I worked in a Texaco gas station, I had plenty of weird things happen to me. Here's a few.

One day, I was filling up the drink machine with ice. I didn't know there was a guy behind me. He pulled down my fucking pants and proceeded to feel on my ass. 5 customers had to pull me off of that guy. >_>" He went to jail too since I was 16 and he was 53. -___-"

I was working the deli one day when this skinny ass guy came up and asked the manager if we sold any Chrystal Meth....... Needless to say he was arrested.

Another time, a guy tried to hold up the cashier with a fucking SQUIRT GUN that they bought from us. >_>"

Another day, a guy came in. We didn't pay attention to him.... untill he started to STRIP DOWN AND GRIND ON THE CANDY CASE.

God I hated working there. >_>

Hahahaha! Your job is sitcom worthy.

OT: I worked at Wal-mart for a six month stint. I used to wonder why whenever I went into a Wal-mart, the eyes of the employees always looked beaten, dead, and resentful.

Now I completely understand. That was the worst job I ever had.

Those beat my story into the ground. Poor you... Nasty thing about working in a video game store though is that you come across the super nerds, those horrific, living stereotypes. Fat, ugly, and most of all, they stink! One guy, you could tell he'd not washed in weeks, because you could see the yellow sweat stain spreading on the shirt he never changed...

ew.

Working at McDonalds last year (it's a sad life, but the money is there) I completed a big family order in like... 2 minutes. The dude was pretty happy with the whole thing and asked for some ketchup. We had literally just run out on front counter, and told the guy we had some round the side on dispenser. His expression suddenly changes and says "but we need the little packaged ones for the car". I suddenly think "oh crap, it's about to kick off" and say "I'm sorry, we're not allowed to leave the front area during an order, even to restock". As expected, the guy kicks off, giving me full verbal abuse for something close to half an hour. This is for something we give away as a COURTESY.
At the end of his rant, another customer (who I might add not even wanting ketchup) pipes up "yeah, we should probably get food trading standards involved". At this point I'd had enough, I'm a fairly big guy and this guy and despite my incredible ability to hold my nerve, I let loose "excuse me kindly SIR, but ketchup is available round the side. We give away cartons as a COURTESY, but it's been a busy day today and lots of people have taken them, just like you wished to. Just to point out, by now your food is stone cold and no, I'm not going to replace it. Have a nice day."
The guy, realising his MASSIVE error, suddenly looks mortified and his wife is standing there like "you're such an ass". Everyone on front counter absolutely pissed themselves when they left. I took the opportunity to restock ketchup

Delivery Driver, especially in the food service industry. You see some very, very interesting things during the middle of the day in the suburbs.

My job was boring as hell, so there's really nothing I can tell you. My job was to check the expiration date of everything in the store. Seriously, every day was pretty much identical. I didn't even have any communication with my co-workers despite the fact that it was a pretty big store, because my department had two people in it, including myself, and we were never scheduled for the same time. Hell, I only saw my manager once or twice a month. The most interesting thing that ever happened to me during a shift was that a customer asked me to go around back and get some milk from the fridge, still wrapped as 6 packs.
