It's amazing, the things your brain comes up with after working
three days in the Garden Center. For most folks, I suppose that
wouldn't be a problem. But for me, well, I'm allergic to half the
blamed department! But I love working out there, as long as the
heat index doesn't get up to 108 or so. And the last three days
have been rather tolerable.
Mostly, the customers were great. I only had one I wasn't too
happy with. He'd bought a gate that was damaged and had brought
it back. He then went to pick up one that wasn't. So far,
so good. He instead picked up a panel. Now, the gate was
returned at the returns desk, as it should be. So, I actually
never saw said gate. He brings the panel through my line and I
ring it and another item up and run his merch card through.
He gets upset because it's not the amount he expected. He swears that's
it's the same thing he brought back. The panel's more expensive. I show
him on the return reciept where he returned a gate. He says,"Yes,
I returned a gate." I informed him he had a panel in front of
him. He told me I was crazy, that it was the same thing he'd
bought. My supervisor just shakes her head in that way that
means, "Just let it go." Fine, so we return it at my register and
go to re-ring it. He's blathering into his phone about how we're
trying to cheat him and blah, blah, blah. So, my supervisor rings
it up at the price he's demanding and off he goes, telling whomever's
on the phone that he's coming home with the new gate.
We just let him go. He'll figure it out later. I hope.
Hele au. Aloha.
