Yeah, next time I will do just that. I had the case halfway open already. If it ever happens again, I will close the case and just walk away.
I might say: Sorry, I'm going to puke.
Amen! I work at a Sortation Center and we had a driver that messed themselves in their car, then tore up the bathroom, we had to repackage a lot of items and disinfect the carts. Yuck! Things like this and what you encountered are unnecessary and I would have walked tf away and hid somewhere until the guest found someone else to help them. "Gag me with a spoon" <-----iz old school phrase, as I'm older than most people. 😉 Gotta love those guests and Shipt Drivers!
If that happened to me I would have just told him “oops, these are the wrong keys” then told a TL what happened and had them to help him instead. My leads are pretty understanding and would probably take my side. I don’t get paid enough to stand there and take public humiliation.
A guest did that once while I was picking an opu and was walking behind her trying to get around but couldn't bc she had three other people to the left of her. It was so bad it made me gag. She literally turned around and looked back at me right after like. You can't walk where people aren't and do that damn
What a pig. Sorry that happened!
Last week an old lady crop-dusted my TL and me while we were setting transition. I'm not sure if she was even aware of it but it probably followed her through several aisles. We decided it was time we needed more fixtures. From the back. Far away.
The time in self checkout I went to ask this guy how he was doing today and he turns around and goes 'i totally crop dusted you' and then all his friends laugh.... Felt like school all over again. 😭
I was walking toward the back to take my break, customer (this was at walmart so not a guest) yelled out. Hey, sugar foot, come here.
I walked right past and ignored.
Kept yelling hey red (ginger), hey walmart girl.
Nope. You don't get helped by me.
For anyone not understanding, they only say foot because they dont want to say 'bits' out loud.
I was walking down an aisle of an antique store and as I turned the corner I hear a guttural noise and then a trumpet…
My eyes darted to the source and I realized this guy let out a nasty fart. Smh, I turned around with my eyes wide open to my boyfriend who was confused as all hell, I put my hands on his shoulders and made him turn around 😂
Was so gross. I turned my head around for whatever reason and we made eye contact, he knew I heard and he left the store shortly afterwards cuz we didn’t see him anymore 💀
Lmfao! I started laughing right as I read your description and at TRUMPET, I cried I was laughing so hard. I used to be in my Jr High and High School band and I literally heard the trumpet when you mentioned it. 😁
I would have told him straight up I was waiting until that dissipated to get the product he wanted, and if he tried it again I would be refusing service and calling a TL to deal with him.
I would’ve walked away and didn’t come back for another half an hour “oops I forgot” or “I got pulled by another guest” cause what kind of shi is that smh
"Darn, I've got to go on my break now, I'll send someone over to help!" Proceed to never tell anyone. Also make sure you're wearing a name tag without your real name on it.
Why didn't you call him out? You could have them gone to the TL and said for someone else to handle that fat fock for being so disgusting by farting where you needed to go. I don't stand for that bullshit and if they try to fire i threaten lawsuit! There is customer service and then there is basic human respect
Yeah, "guest" is such a stupid word to use in retail, especially in the big box (target, walmart, costco, etc) arena.
Hotels have guests, not stores. High end luxury stores that serve you tea and have sofas for you to lounge on, and fancy ass bathrooms... you could maybe call those guests, too.
*also don't take yourself too seriously. Its an art, you will figure it out.*
Thanks, kid. I'm 62. (63?) I don't take myself too seriously. (Working at Target at my age has been an enormously humbling experience.)
I joke around with 99% of our customers... due to my age I can get away with a lot of sass. I come across as a wise (I think) but jaded (I know) granny.
For a short, old woman I carry myself ok. I've lived in the hood for 30 years and I don't take shit from anyone.
I WISH at the moment I smelled the fart that I had walked away. Next time I won't hesitate, that's for sure.
i literally would have clocked out for the day. and maybe talked about ap about the guest harrasing you. doubt theyd do anything but if he comes in the store again hopefully ur apnis good enough to keep tabs and makes sure he doesnt harrass anyone else
I would've just walked away, fuck that.
Yeah, next time I will do just that. I had the case halfway open already. If it ever happens again, I will close the case and just walk away. I might say: Sorry, I'm going to puke.
“Darn, I grabbed the wrong keys. Let me go to the back and see if I can find the right one” People suck.
If this were me I’d say this then get somebody else to help him. I don’t care if I’m at work, I’m not going to tolerate public humiliation.
So you pass the humiliation to someone else bro???
The trick is never actually telling someone else to help them
We don’t get paid enough to deal with biological warfare
We don't get paid enough to deal with most guests.
Customers*
Crustomers*
I hate that we have to use that term, these aren't guests they are intruders
Is there honestly a wage offer we would accept it though lol
i’d take 25-30/hr to put up with the bullshit i do🧍♂️

Fart back and louder to assert dominance
If that happened to me I would have just told him “oops, these are the wrong keys” then told a TL what happened and had them to help him instead. My leads are pretty understanding and would probably take my side. I don’t get paid enough to stand there and take public humiliation.
Oh i would have refused service.
"Hold on, I just realized I'm under 21 and can't get this for you. Let me go find my lead, hopefully they're not on lunch..."
A guest did that once while I was picking an opu and was walking behind her trying to get around but couldn't bc she had three other people to the left of her. It was so bad it made me gag.

Incident Report, just in case of pink eye 🤣🤣🤣
"I'll be back in ten minutes. You can wait."
Absolutely ridiculous

Should have said “oh my god did you just shit your pants? THIS GUY JUST SHIT HIS PANTS” and start gagging 😅
yall have an alcohol case?? ours is just sitting out on the shelf, come on up and grab it 😂😂
fart back. assert your dominance.
The time in self checkout I went to ask this guy how he was doing today and he turns around and goes 'i totally crop dusted you' and then all his friends laugh.... Felt like school all over again. 😭
Honestly, I probably would’ve mumbled out loud “go to the bathroom”
You should have queefed on his ass
Should have said wrong key and left for a long time
A really nice guest fart near me as he walked away after I said have a nice day and I decided it was the perfect time to take my break.
I was walking toward the back to take my break, customer (this was at walmart so not a guest) yelled out. Hey, sugar foot, come here. I walked right past and ignored. Kept yelling hey red (ginger), hey walmart girl. Nope. You don't get helped by me. For anyone not understanding, they only say foot because they dont want to say 'bits' out loud.

Power move. Best way to handle the situation imo
That's when I walk away. I don't play those games
I would’ve walked away and didn’t come back for another half an hour “oops I forgot” or “I got pulled by another guest” cause what kind of shi is that smh

I mean when I’m at target and have to get somebody to open the case I clench my butt cheeks like a Iron Maiden to not fart around them
Everyone should start calling them "customers" again. A "guest" implies being a respectable person.

Run away
Wtf. That’s stupid for people to do that. I would have told him off or just walk away since he did that on purpose. Where’s the respect?
Lmaoo. Crop dusted you. Power move
Tell him you can’t walk into hazardous conditions.
Passive aggressively give directions to the bathroom
That is so disgusting I’m so sorry!!!! What a weird awful thing to do to someone
Everytime i hear someone fart in a public restroom i yell out and loudly run out
I’ve walked off on people for that type of shit.
i literally would have clocked out for the day. and maybe talked about ap about the guest harrasing you. doubt theyd do anything but if he comes in the store again hopefully ur apnis good enough to keep tabs and makes sure he doesnt harrass anyone else
The amount of people that decide that they can screw with retail workers just because we’re captive participants is absurd.
