Your Biggest Pet Peeves...

[Atta83]

What is it the most you hate that people do???? It can be Disney or non Disney....

 

[Lauriebar]

When people say prostrate instead of prostate:hammer:

Disney pet peeve is not having your ticket out and ready when you make it to the gate!! Come on people, get with it!!:fork:

This is a frivolous pet peeve, but for some reason it gets to me, the rustling sound of a plastic bag. For some reason it makes my skin crawl.

My BIGGEST pet peeve at work is when someone comes up to the cash register with a ton of stuff and you ring it all up and then they're like oops i forgot something I'll be right back. And then of course they take over 5 mins while there is a huge line of people waiting giving you dirty scowels and it's not like you can clear the screen and go to the next person after ringing up a zillion items!!! Grrr! :fork:

(A-w-w-w-w-e, c'mon. It was only a matter of time before someone posted it. I just did it first. )

But seriously, maybe it's my age, but I find myself having less and less patience with incompetence. When people say to me in a line,"I'm sorry you had to wait", and it's because some item wasn't marked properly, or some other problem caused by the store personnel, I really have to fight the urge to say "Not as sorry as I am. What are you going to do about the inconvience? How about a 10% discount on my purchase?" I could go on, but I'm tired. 'Nuff said. :snore:

It drives me insane when the person in front of me waits to have all their groceries rung up & bagged and then digs out their checkbook & starts to write their check. Please you knew you were going to use a check...have it filled out already.

Thanks, I feel better now.

When people walk in the street and there's a perfectly good sidewalk next to them. HELLO....streets = driving on....sidewalks = walking.

People who hold up lines in store's because they have to get rid of their change. Please....theirs 10 people behind you, just deal with the horror of more change later !!!

Chewing with your mouth open or when people nervously chew gum (really fast).

I'm sorry but your post really made me angry. I happen to be a cashier at Lowe's and it is NOT the cashier's fault! I'm so sick of people like you who don't know how to wait in line without about it. Things do go wrong and it's not our fault. Saying that you deserve a discount for waiting a little longer in line is ridiculous! What I would say to someone like you is "Well there is always another line you could go to." or my favorite line "Home Depot is right down the street!" *Sorry to sound rude but if you had to put up w/ ignorant people all day as a cashier you would understand too" :wave: :zipit:

I understand that it's not the cashier's fault that an item isn't priced...but it IS the store's fault. And this seems to be happening more frequently as stores become more dependent upon barcodes. They're wonderful when they work, but a real pain when they don't.

I bought a refrigerator at Lowe's for my mother. It took almost 45 minutes to pay for it, because it hadn't registered into the computer properly! I really WAS considering taking a walk to Home Depot. It wasn't the cashier's fault; I'm not sure WHOSE fault it was, but it was a bit of an inconvenience for me, and a little reduction would have been nice. Instead, they've lost a customer.

I completely agree, I lose my patience so much easier at certain stores, and I believe that all my pre-college years of working in retail have to do with this. Just a week or so ago, I was in line at Kohl's behind two customers, one who was buying her daughter a whole new school wardrobe. I patiently waited as she rang up the merchandise. Noticed last minute that another cashier came to cover and took the LAST person in my now growing line. (Is it too hard to say that they can take the next customer?). 10 minutes goes by and the other line is just as long as the line I am in, so I stayed put. The clerk then had to get on the phone with customer service because of the enormous cost the customer was putting on her credit card. I then notice two more employees standing near the registers chatting it up. Needless to say, that infuriated me and I dropped my merchandise and left.
There are many circumstances beyond the cashiers fault, but more back-up would have been nice.
That has to be my major pet peeve, imcompetent service. Thank goodness I never experienced anything like that at Disney!

I work as a cashier at a local chain wholesale club. You can not blame people, esp. the cashier for problems that people before you in line didn't cause. You blame the stupid managers who make more money then you and work less than you. We are just there to check people out.

When customers try to help you really makes me mad
When customers use boxes becuase we don't do bags.
And how customers think there always right. :brick:

I'm making a list of 101 stupid things customers will do.

LOL! I agree w/ you on the part where customers try to help you, like you've never done it before. I love when they say "well I've seen it done before," and I'm like um do you work here? What's that? You don't? Then shut the heck up! lol

Stuff like that happens all the time at Lowe's! It's really irritating to me to watch a customer wait for long periods of time without getting what they came for. I always feel bad, but there is nothing that the cashier can do, it's more the responsibility of the person working in that department or the loader.....and let me tell you the loaders are incompetent scum of the earth! lol

I can see how you would be a little miffed off from that sitiuation! I would have done the same thing! lol But to blame the cashier for a barcode problem is just ridiculous.

My apologies if I unintentionally ruffled any feathers, but if you read my post, I never attacked the cashier. Some stocker (or whoever is responsible for such things) didn't do their job, and mark a product properly or ensure the code was in the computer.

I have never seen a cashier call a superviser or manager to let them know to check stocked items to make sure they are all marked or get put into the system. It may happen somewhere, but I haven't seen it. To me, this isn't necessarily the cashier's fault, but poor training and Q/A policy set by management.

Also, if you read my post, I said "I really have to fight the urge to say." In simpler language, I want to say it, but I don't.

And if any of you think I really expect to get a 10% discount because I've been inconvenienced at a store (but not necessarily by the cashier), then I can make a sweet deal for you on a used monorail.

From my retail days I hated customers - they seem to get off being abusive, I guess in the knowledge that the employee is not in a position to hit back.

As a customer in supermarkets, I hate other customers. The till thing has already been pointed out where you wait patiently whilst all their items are rung up, the customer will slowly pack everything up before paying at which point it dawns on them that they have to fulfil their end of the deal and give the shop some money for they goods they have diligently packed into bags and returned to their trolly. It's this sort of person who also has a bag with multiple pockets, through which then slowly search to find their purse/pocketbook (depending on which side of the Pond you are). Said purse/pocketbook is then subdivided into a complex series of compartments, all of which have to be througougly investigated before they get to the cash/cheque/card they intend to use for payment. AAAARRRGH

Outside of retail, my big peeve relates to the growing number of anti-social cyclists in Britain (I don't know if you have them in America yet). They ignore all traffic signals, they go through red lights, over pedestrian crossings when pedestrians are still on them and if they they ride, often at speed, amongst pedestrians. Any of these people I have approached about this behaviour are proud of their selfish ways. I know of only one so far who has started to amend his ways - but only after smashing into a small child. Fortunately the child was phyically unhurt. The cyclist cut their hands up pretty good and went into mild shock. Good thing I know first aid.

I have asked the police what the legal standing is. They admit that the cyclists are breaking the law and should recieved on the spot fines. However they feel there are more import things for them to do (translation, it's easier for them to hit government targets by taking photos of car licence plates).

Aside from the safety aspect (I have been hit three times now by cyclists, but am strong enough to take the impact) there is the whole anti-social thing. Britain is become a selfish yob nation and it's this sort of thing that helps to encourage it.

Rant over.
