Save a Kohl's Charge. Use your brain.

The sad collection of things customers say to me at Kohl's, my job. You will find that there's a good chance you've heard these in your workplace, though!


Ask a stupid question :)  

Getting just a little fed up with the new job…

Let’s see….placed a call this past Monday saying I wouldn’t be able to work today. Instead of taking that, my boss wanted me to call again today and say the same thing. See now, it’s like Monday’s call never existed and I look like a bigger douche calling today.

This apathetic attitude towards my job and whether or not I’ll still have it when the smoke clears…it’s kinda sad having it. But does that say about the people I work under?

About to march into my boss’s office and tell her I can’t work the collective 17 hours I’m scheduled for next Wednesday and Friday.

Seriously can’t, the campus will be closed! Where will I rest my head at night? You did this to yourselves, Kohl’s…

6. Why’d you even pick them up?

(customer approaches register with a shit-ton of clothes and a smile)

Customer: Hi, I’m not buying a few items…

(a few items slowly turns into the majority of her cart)

Customer: Sorry.

Me: -__________________-

5. It’s not like we don’t wanna be victims of theft or anything like that.

Me: Your J-Lo tops have sewn-in security tags. You have to cut them out when you get home.

Customer: Huh? Why do they do that?

tumblrbot asked: WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?

My earliest memory is of not wanting to get a job in retail. I was 18. :)

4. I can just do it with a snap of the fingers. No worries, chick.

Customer: I just wanna make a return.

(Shows me the receipt. Has nothing else.)

Me: Where are the things you’re trying to return?

Customer: I don’t have them. What, I needed to bring them?

3. Don’t quote the store’s slogans. It’s NOT cool!

Me: You get $50 Kohl’s Cash. This starts tomorrow and ends on the 20th.

Customer: Wow! It’s like I’m getting paid to shop!

Me: -_____________________________-

2. Disregard the date, it’s not good today because I said so.

***Monday, October 3rd***

Customer: Can I use this today?

(shows me a blue coupon that has “Monday, October 3rd” in bright white letters)

1. What did you ask for?!

Customer: Can I get a scratch-off coupon?

(hands her a scratch-off coupon)

Customer: ………….what do I do with it?
