notalwaysright_feedI volunteer with a youth organisation where everyone wears a uniform. After a meeting, I went to a nearby supermarket with another volunteer, who is vegan.

Woman: "I already told her that!" *Pointing at me.* "This morning! I was going to feed him when I got back from work, but that's when I noticed the bloat."

Manager: "Ma'am, we open at eight."
Customer: "Someone let me in early before!"
Manager: "Which is exactly why we don't encourage our staff to do nice things like that, because customers like you begin to expect it every time."

He was chill about it, the problem is that another guy from a different class, with big brain ambitions, would pester him daily to talk about “big brain stuff” which us lowly mortal could not understand. Then it happened that, during […]

Caller: "I need my tenants evicted now! They're not paying rent! I need my money!"
Me: "Okay, have you spoken to them or their guarantor?"

notalwaysright_feedRead The Architect Of Customer Shut Downs
Customer: "And another thing! You need to have more bathrooms!"
Me: "We're not a large store, so one bathroom usually—"

Caller: "No, I need the physical address to bring it in to."
Me: "That can't be done. The only option is to mail it in at this time, as we are fully remote and no one is at the office to help."
Caller: "Well, what's your personal address so I can bring it to you?"
notalwaysright_feedRead No Strings Attached… Unfortunately
Me: "I bought what was supposed to be a complete and working item. This item is incomplete. It’s supposed to have the two cables with it. It’s not my problem that someone at your store missed that during the return. I paid what was asked and have not received what I was supposed to get. You need to honor the fact that it was supposed to be complete."

Teenager: "You can't do this! I'm sixteen!"

notalwaysworking_feedRead It Just Doesn’t Make Cents
My total came to $27.06. I gave her $30 and a dime. $30.10, granted, not everyone can do math in their head, but I figured it wouldn't be a problem.
It was. She tried to hand me $2.
Me: "Should be three bucks and four cents back."
I get the stare like a deer in the headlights.
