Customers who piss and moan because they can't get something that is out of stock or discontinued. Then they bleat at you because YOU can't get them it and surely YOU must have a magic wand hidden somewhere to whip some up from nowhere. Worst time is Christmas, get it in September and you won't have a problem dear. C**ts.

I came across this version by some primary school children and I'm posting it here as a light hearted comment on the subject of going to the zoo. I hope you like it.

That's more like it. 
Cex shop staff. They take an hour to serve you and, because they're all greasy haired bespectacled men with beards, they aren't even nice to look at.
So, you're saying they're no cex machines?

Do you get a bag at yours? We are lucky if we do and even then it's a paper bag so it is likely to rain or split

Yep. Not working in retail at the moment but customers who pissed me of included:
Asking where they could buy a particular brand that my company didn't sell and getting angry when I didn't know.
Customers who didn't understand that sizing is not standardised and I didn't how our small compared to small from another company.
When I would phone another store to see if they had a particular item in stock, only to be told they didn't and then have the customer argue with me because when they were at that store 3 days before they did have ONE. The concept that there might be someonelse who came in and bought it, just doesn't occur to some people.

I always take my own bag. I put it on the counter, mouth open, and slip my purchases straight in. Then I'm off.

Can I add to the list:
A customer who was with her young son, who asked his Mum to get a scratch card, he pointed one out. I had to-HAD TO ask for ID, even though I could clearly see he was under-age. She started screaming at me, "This scratch card is for MEEEE not him! Don't you even look at my SON!!" I told her that if I get caught selling restricted items to anyone under age, I will lose my job and the shop will lose its licence. "I WORK IN THE COURTS!!!" she screamed back and I had to bite my tongue but I screamed inside my head "As the cleaner, I bet!". Meanwhile, there was a HUGE queue building up as she stand there hurling abuse at me. She stormed out in the end and stated that she'd never return to the shop again! What a c**t.
Also, whenever I turned down a teenager trying to buy booze, they'd always ALWAYS reply "Well I'm going to go to Tesco instead" like that was supposed to hurt my feelings. >_<

What a silly bint.
Teenagers always used to get so arsey and rude when you ask for ID. But I did quite like it when they'd come in again the next day, all sheepish and overly polite after they'd calmed down.
