John Q. Public
John Q. Public I work at a large grocery chain store here in my city. For the LIFE of me, I cannot figure out why people will walk up to me and say "Do you work here?" I have on a bright colored vest with the stores name it, I have a badge clipped on to the left pocket with the STORE name and MY name on it, plus I am standing at my cash register #4 with a huge sign flashing that says OPEN. Many times I get asked also "Are you open?" UGH!!! I just stare at them for a moment like I can't believe you just asked me that!! So to those who ask if I work here, I will jokingly say "Only when the manager is around!! "But I would really love to say "No, this is my bowling shirt." And to those who ask if I am open when I am standing behind my register with a huge OPEN sign, I will say "Well, that's what the sign says!" But I would really like to say "No, I am standing here just to look pretty." The lame things I hear every day working in retail from John Q. Public....It just reminds me of what will never come out of my mouth when I am out shopping in a store. I prefer to appear brighter and smarter than that!! |

Thank God I am working part time because I want to stay busy after retiring from a long career...If I had to listen to John Q. Public on a full-time basis asking lame questions I would probably shoot myself in the head!! lol

I know and I am very happy to be retired from work now..I worked at a lot of jobs since I was 16 and the last was a cafeteria for 7 years..I worked night shift because it suited my lifestyle and home life but the dipshits I waited on were omg some real winners.. Of course I was the only one who worked night there 5 a week 11-7 and get the same questions from the same lame ass people all the time..'Are you the only one working?" .. "well yes I am but I be happy to get someone else for you, lol..its like 2 in the morning ..can we wait till 7 when my shift is over? " . The plant where I worked hired shift workers because production workers were not considered that smart...maybe they thought I was like them and only pretended to cook...ha ha

why people will walk up to me and say The answer is, unfortunately, in your question . . . people. Common sense is no longer common, many many people now-a-days are not well educated or bright. A bit scary really When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

What should really terrify you is the fact that they drove a car there! Using more than all the road!

It amazes me that they ask you a question and the Dip Shits don't try and Text You...

One of my favorites along this line, was when the dollar stores first started popping up. There was one near me called, Everything's a Dollar. I'm in there browsing around, and this lady besides me has a item in her hand. She says to one of the employees.."this doesn't have a price tag, how much is it?" The kid says hang on. Walks over to the store phone, hanging on a post and pages..."customer needs a price check on isle 3".. To which all the employees throughout the store yelled out at once..."EVERYTHING'S A DOLLAR". I think sometimes, people just don't think before they speak. " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx

I used to be mistaken for someone who would work at a large chain hardware store. I don't even work in retail.
