let me share a secret

On behalf of those of us who work in retail, let me share a secret to the rest of you in society.

None of us who you meet on the shop floor not even us managers are responsible or make the decision to either relocate items on the shop floor or to increase prices so shouting at us is not only useless but very rude. So if u don't like the fact that the eggs have moved to a different aisle , either go findsomewhere else to shop or go fuck yyourself.

Who does make the decision to move stuff around in supermarkets then? A crude psychological trick to get people to buy things they might not have wanted by getting them to look at stuff and stay longer - hence no clocks un supermarkets, hence heavy veg at the front so you take a trolley not a basket, hence milk and bread at the back so you have to go through all the shop to find it, hence the expensive stuff at eye level....many many more.

You and the OP both make valid points.

If someone comes up to me genuinely upset over an item. I will do my complete best to find an alternative. Failing that I will tell them the best thing to do and I will look after their interest only as maybe they'll think. Go back there as it's good service, etc. That's what people should do. Not moan at customers.

However if a customer is rude and abusive to a member of staff in general or thinks that an average colleague makes all the decisions. Then they can do one or take some form of course on how to treat people and also do a course on how a retail business is run.

there is no excuse for rudeness to anyone however some people like to think they are winning wars by shouting at staff. I have done my fair share of customer service and retail jobs so i do know what its like.

Unfortunately you cant change the way people are in the 5 mins you get to deal with them so it really is best to develop your own coping strategy rather than let them get to you.

No matter what time of day it is. No matter who serves you on the checkout. If you don't chat to them or take the conversation out of it. They all say the same thing and sound like robots.

I know a massive organisation where the colleagues did that in the mayonnaise, which then got served to customers. Not sure what the company is like now, but obviously the people involved got prosecuted.

I've worked customer service n retail, I've also as a customer been frustrated n fed up.

While customers shouldn't be aggressive or rude, as an employee of that company you are the face/rep of that company to the public. If you can't get your head round that you should leave the job!!

That's where I'm going wrong.. product placement. Us 'value range' people are just the same, but without the fancy packaging and even better is you'll get us 2 for 1 (if you hit on the right week)
