I cannot count on this countries' fingers how many times I have been interrupted by other customers while helping a customer. Wait your *#$(*# turn! It's the polar opposite of those dumb asses with their fingers in the air that don't use their words like grown-ups, and yet it is still infuriating. OFFICIAL NOTICE: Your time is no more valuable to me than the person I am currently helping. There are 3 other employees in the store that are chatting with each other because they have no one else to talk to. If you need help, and don't want your panties in a bunch, ask one of them! I am not going to make eye contact with you, I will not acknowledge your smelly ass is standing 6 inches from my left arm, and if you interrupt me, I will simply look at you like I want to punch you, and then carry on with the courteous and patient customer right in front of me.
I wish I had one of those little machines attached to my waist so you could just pull the number and shut the hell up. I know my store's product, this is true. I probably have more knowledge of the items hanging around than anyone else in the store, fine. But is a price check or an item location worth you looking like an idiot? I don't think so. Oh, and clearing your throat, stamping your foot, or talking loudly to your friend that you are going to ask me for help, doesn't constitute an "Excuse me, Sir?"
All I ask if for a little manners and common courtesy. I will help you find what you need (although I'm sure you haven't looked yet) as soon as I am finished helping the other customers. Have a little patience huh?
oh how i love the customers who use their fingers. didn't people ever tell them it's rude to point? we'll that goes along with using their fingers all together in my opinion. i constantly get people at my work who walk up to the host stand and hold up two fingers to represent two. they don't even think they need to use their voice to say "two please." next time i'm tempted to do it right back at them and say "peace to you too!" haha :)
