You have no idea how hard it is to remain professional when answering the phone at work when the caller ID reads "BUTPLUG."
I mean, people who are usually "safe" are getting in on it and RTing this shit and, like, offering their unsolicited opinion and I can't. I just can't.
So my problem with Twitter right now are people describing what Ford described and using it as a metaphor. And, just, I can't with this anymore. And I don't know when it'll be safe for me to go back on there. :-\
Super tired of picking up my coworkers' slack.
"You only have one register open!"
Yes, thanks for your astute observation. I never would have noticed. (Note: we don't normally require more than that at this time of day. We just got hit suddenly because hurricane...)
Basically, customer entitlement is one hell of a drug apparently.
Also, I have a feeling "necessities" meant all the crap she had in her cart, none of which is near the pharmacy and our pharmacists and techs are not your personal shoppers. We do *a lot* for our customers already and I'd be shocked if they turned this customer down for *just* one little thing like this.
Me, this morning with severe nausea and upset stomach: "If your kid got me sick because you had to make a point about the inconvenience of having to pick up inadequate OTC medicine..."
Like, there wasn't anything to help the kiddo keep hydrated and nothing of the standard "Child is sick" fare in her cart.
Me, thinking to self: "You only bought pepto bismol for kids, which if s/he is sick isn't going to do fuck all except maybe alleviate symptoms a little? There are tons better options. Also, you absolutely did not 'have' to bring your sick kid into the store! You could go to our competitors if it was that fucking important to you."
