I work for Target and I do Guest Service. I know the crap you have to take from jerks who can call you names and make you feel like crap. And for what a stupid <BR/>return. Though i have to admit the thing that gets me the worst is when they say they will be taking there business to walmart.

It costs extra, but it's a way for them to transfer money if the recipient does not have any ID. And it's only good up to a certain amount, I believe. They care more about the sender than the recipient.Plummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15862958610169754999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-1130355431345176522005-10-26T15:37:00.000-04:002005-10-26T15:37:00.000-04:00I like your list of does and don'ts - informing pe...I like your list of does and don'ts - informing people of what your job is like.<BR/>I work a computer help desk and I often imagine giving classes on how to talk to the Help Desk.<BR/>Like "The thingy on my screen doesn't work." is a no-go.<BR/>The Word "thingy" should never be used when describing almost anything. lol<BR/>Along with that class I would like to give a computers 101 class - Identifying things like Desktop, Wallpaper, Taskbar...<BR/>...and explain how programs are very similar. i.e. clicking File, Print works in Microsoft Word and, surprise, clicking File, Print works in Excel and PowerPoint and on the internet and e-mail... etc.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I can relate to your Christmas experience (though I think things are worst today - with people's attitudes, and I think Wal-mart attracts a certain lower class of people. I didn't say that all people that shop at Wal-mart are lower class. I shop at Wal-mart all the time. ...and I am middle class. :D ).<BR/>I worked at Sears and it was Christmas. This is back when they had a Catalog counter. (I know, I'm dating myself. lol)<BR/>This one woman, in the middle of all these other people, was shifting her weight from one foot to the other and with each shift she would let out a very heavy, very unhappy and impatient, sigh.<BR/>Well, she stormed the desk in front of everyone else and demanded to see the manager.<BR/>(In this case she meant; "Give me someone who will put me in front of all these people", who were all waiting more patiently than her.)<BR/>It so happened that the manager had <I>just</I> left to take care of a security issue (i.e. someone was caught shop lifting.).<BR/>We told her the manager was not available.<BR/>She huffed two more times and threw her bag full of merchandise across the counter (it was only clothes but...) and it slammed against the wall between myself and a female co-worker.<BR/><BR/>The thing, for me, that took a little edge off that situation is all the dirty looks the other customers gave her as she was leaving the store.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-1126187250483148492005-09-08T09:47:00.000-04:002005-09-08T09:47:00.000-04:00Maybe he is telling you to hypnotize the idiots.Maybe he is telling you to hypnotize the idiots.Perditahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04514658966177544171noreply@blogger.com
