I told her it was a different store and told her where the nearest one was. She huffed at me and said, "Well, thanks for wasting my time and energy!" I was, like, really- you dumb fuck? Try reading.
BBW customers are one of a kind. I love the people with expired coupons who demand we use them, like Bed, Bath, and Beyond "because you're the same store, aren't you?!" No. Just no.
You're right- one of a kind. We love trash talking the customers
Oh man! How awful! I'd be a lot more understanding if the stores were actually similar and sold all of the same stuff... but we don't. I mean, it's like walking into McDonald's and asking for a taco.
What makes it worse for us: we have a Bed, Bath, & Beyond store next door to our Bath & Body Works, so people are always getting us confused. I'm usually a cashier and I can't tell you the number of times people automatically write "Bed, Bath, and Beyond" on their checks and then they get pissed at me like I'm the one that decided to name the stores.
My all-time favorite moment from working at BBW: I worked a 5am to noon shift on Black Friday two years ago. When I got to the store, there were about 30 women standing outside the doors, waiting for us to open so that they could qualify for the free gift. My boss comes to unlock the door and almost immediately, the angry mob of women demand to know why I get to enter the store early and they don't. I was like, "Uh, I work here... I'll be cashing you out in a little while..." and they completely ignored me and were like, "She needs to wait out here in the cold like the rest of us! She doesn't deserve special treatment!" They were some pretty pissed off ladies... until they saw me behind the cash register and then they were nice. Amazing.
