Till Point conversations...the conversations of my day..

My work ;)

I want to get one thing straight. Till point conversations are a requirement for me to keep my job. I work at WHSmith, and actually love my job. However i have to ask every single customer that i serve if they "would like any half price confectionery?" This then causes me to be shouted at by customers.


Point Number 1: If you do not want any chocolate just say no thank you.
Point Number 2: I understand the fact that "if you wanted chocolate, you would grab some and pay for it at the counter"
Point Number 3: I am sorry if you are on a diet, or you have to go to the dentist, but again why shout at me..just say no.
Point Number 4: Customers seem to come up with wonderful, rude excuses as to why it is so annoying that we have to ask-Put yourself in my shoes..to keep my job to pay my way to uni..i have to ask you, therefore be understanding of me and well its getting rather obvious what you have to say now if you don't want any confectionery!!

I believe people need to be more understanding of each other, and not be so rude. They should understand that no matter how many annoying questions are asked, people have to ask as it is in their job description. Workers have targets to meet, and most of the time the workers also hate the fact they have to ask the quesitons!

For example: Today, after asking a man if he would like any half price confectionery and listening to him rant on about how its disgusting behaviour and WHSmith is the reason "England is becoming obese". I, reluctantly said "that's fine, have a nice afternoon". Twenty minutes later, i went on my break and was sitting to myself on a bench eating a sandwich (Tuna and cucumber...yuumm!) When the awful man came and sat next to me (Lets take into consideration that there are many free benches available, not just the seat next to me). He sat right beside me and had another shouting fit to his friend about how annoying WHSmith is when all he wanted was a newspaper. He then looks at me with a ridiculous smile and farts the most violent fart i have ever heard in my life (very classy man of course) to the point where half the town are staring at him in disgust and the entire bench wobbles. A disgusting creature of a man who needs to learn to grow up, get a bath, have a shave and get over himself. Smelly creature!!

All he had to say was "No thank you" (Hahah, im sure you get the drift!)


What do you all think?
