Not exactly, but I did have a somewhat similar job. I worked in a movie theater and both kids and teachers would ask me what my opinions were on movies that were playing at that time. We also had to prep food and drink, run the cash register and clean up after the theater closed for the evening.

No matter what age an individual enters the workforce, you have to have a good work ethic and a positive attitude. The management and customers always know when an employee is there just to take up space. An employee should do their job to the best of their ability.

Same here. And you know you're appreciated when the same people come back to the store you work at and ask for you to get your input on whatever product is sold in the store.
I agree that the level of customer service has fallen off in recent years at brick-and-mortar stores. And it's gotten to the point that it's pretty pathetic in my opinion. EDIT: I think I'm starting to sense a bit of back and forth (joking or otherwise) going on here, lets just be civil and move on guys, before it turns into something it's not.

I can see how a movie usher and a stock boy can be similar, but I also see where they are vastly different. I used to work at a Blockbuster, so my job was a combination of the two (including the cleaning). Either way, I would try to help where I could, but would find someone else to help if I couldn't. I also kept the fact that I couldn't stand my store manager to myself, even when she would take 3 hour smoke breaks in her car in the parking lot while I was the sole employee actually IN the store (which was against store policy). It really sucked when I had to walk out to her car and practically force her to come back in the store so she could do an override on a price match.
While that may be true, no one should ever let negative feelings about their job affect their job performance. Sure, you may think that your job sucks, your co-workers are assholes and the management is clueless. But the customers don't care about you or how your day is going. All they want is for you to help them with their problem.

What a joke, at the same time, really pisses me off. The ignorance if some people is amazing.

There are all types of fanboys/girls out there. Even if it's just to be the hip minority or simply to be contrarian. Of course, there's always a chance that they could honestly be happy customers.

And no customer at any time is allowed to know who's used their one shot that year. I think the world, especially around christmas time, would be a lot more pleasant place.

I've said for a few years that every retail employee should be allowed to shoot one customer a year for being a dick.

I know this thread is pretty much dead and buried, but I wanted to pop in here and apologize to Optimus Vader. Outside forces kinda messed with my life, and I didn't realize how bad things were, and I honestly forgot all about the deal after my home was broken into.
But no excuses- My fault for forgetting, and I offered an immediate refund. It doesn't change my mistake, but hopefully fixes any slant he has endured. |

I wonder if it is too late to return my copy of Wrong Turn they refused to take back several years ago.
Oh shit, its already open. I guess that isn't a possibility then since... Best Buy is closing.
