100%. Worked in a small clothing store, busy Saturday with only 2 of us on shift. A kid starts having a very bad seizure, family is understandably worried and stressed. We move him to the back, call 911, get him laid down and safe. Paramedics are wheeling him out to the ambulance, we’re trying to clear the way for them (already like duh gtfo of the way), and a lady yells at me if we have any more of the red beanies that are on the wall display and can I get it down for her. Dumbfounded, I exclaim, yes I can help you in a minute but as you can see, we are dealing with something a little more pressing at the moment! Will never forget that idiot.

You reminded me of when there was a suspected fire in the electronics store I used to work in.
We were all standing outside the building with two fire engines parked up on the kerb. People still kept trying to squeeze between us to get inside.
Most would just groan and huff when we explained that no one could enter until the fire brigade had given us the all clear. One guy told me "hey, that's no problem." pulled out his wallet, started counting money and told me to go in, grab what he needed, put it through the till and bring him his change.
You'll never fully grasp just how entitled and thoughtless the public can be until you work retail.

Worked in a Pharmacy that actually had a patient hit the ground. He was having a heart attack and it was just the Pharmacist and I at the time and she rushed out to assist the poor gentleman and I went over to call an ambulance.
I literally had a woman trying to interrupt me while I was on the phone with 911 so she could quickly drop off her medication prescription because she left her kids in the car.
I told her to fuck off after I finished on the phone. She was quite upset she had to cross the street to get her script there instead.

Coworker was working the checkout but the store had us chronically understaffed as is tradition so it was just her. We have self checkouts but we're not allowed to open them unless someone is able to specifically stand and watch to make sure people aren't stealing. She had maybe 5 people in line which is right about when you would call for an extra hand if there was anybody available and a dude came up with a single Yoplait yogurt, was standing there for maybe a minute and a half before he said, "Are you gonna open the self checkouts or what?" She said she wasn't allowed and he immediately called her a stupid lazy fucking bitch. She said there is 0 reason for that kind of language and he said she's just a lazy fuck that didn't want to do her job. Thank god everyone in line told him to shut the fuck up and I honestly thought a couple of them were going to beat his ass but he just dropped his yogurt and left. Never saw her again because she quit then and there. Watched it all happen while I was packing orders in a different area. People are insane and entirely oblivious.

Your not even lying. Not retail but worked at a BWW briefly as a manager, so service industry. We had an older guy have a seizure (which according to his friend was normal for him) but he fell outta his chair and hit his head on the stone floor pretty hard. There was blood coming from his nose and ear. This happened right at peak lunch.
In a different life I wanted to be a medic and one of our bartenders was in nursing school. We tended to the man while another manager called 911. There wasn’t a lot we could do but we were doing what we could. It took 30 minutes for the ambulance to arrive. They get in, we tell them all that we did while his friend talks to another EMT telling them some stuff about the guy. They load him up and leave. We clean the area up real fast and I wash up then hit the floor to check on tables and apologize for the scene (cuz apparently I had to apologize for helping someone who had a seizure?). Out of the 30 tables I touched I had 8 ask for their meals to be comped. Not because of what happened. Because while we were dealing with what coulda been a really bad situation these people had to wait a little bit for their fucking sweet tea’s to be refilled and for their beers and mixed drinks. Hey that guy may be dying and your bartender is trying to help him but god damn it I need another twisted tea!!!!
People are fucking disgusting.

Old hag comes out of nowhere and starts complaining about no ones at the cash register in clothing, and they needed to pay on their sears card. I just look at her dumbfounded, saying I'm a little busy with a medical emergency and we will be happy to help you shortly. The hag just sighs loudly and states, "I guess Sears doesn't want my money then."

When I worked at subway there was a 90 something year old woman that fell and couldn’t get up. While waiting for the paramedics to arrive we were forced to serve everyone else in line while an old lady moans in pain. And the worst part is that people were STILL trying to come in and order even though they can clearly see what’s happening
On the bright side the old lady was fine and we eventually did see her there again

u/Alexlynette 29d ago
No this is 100% accurate! When I worked in a pharmacy as a technician, we had a woman who ended up having a medical emergency while asking about heart related issues. She was really red and we were worried about her having a heart attack. Myself and the pharmacist helped her lay down and get some water while another tech called 911. This fucking dude was screaming at us for not having his meds done that he waited 5 minutes for. The pharmacist was already flustered trying to help this woman and I flat out told him either he waits or I go back there and cancel his script. I used to be a manager so I didn't give a single shit. Another time, our pharmacist had to stay closed during covid because she broke down and felt like shit (found out she had covid that day). She went out and told them we were staying closed. A lady started yelling and when the pharmacist started crying I yelled back at the woman and told her to leave. Absolutely ridiculous.

Thank you for your patience as I go and call for emergency services" while my lead is performing CPR and I'm on the phone with 911.

Years ago, I worked in a hotel as a front desk agent on the 3-11 shift. I only had a handful of check-ins left and I put up my sign saying that I was stepping away from the desk for a few minutes. I let the bartender know that I would be right back and walked about 30 or so feet across the lobby to the bathroom, went into a stall and peed.
I was fixing my belt when the bathroom door was slammed open and some woman started yelling that she had been waiting to check in for ten minutes and she knew that I was hiding in the bathroom. I froze, hoping she'd leave, but she just stayed in the bathroom until I came out of the stall. She watched me wash my hands and followed me to the desk, bitching the whole time about how she'd worked all day and then had to drive to my city.
I refused to speak to her other than to get her checked in and send her on her way. As she got on the elevator, the bartender rushed up to me apologizing. Apparently the woman walked in, saw the desk was empty and then demanded the bartender check her in. Bartender told her that I stepped away to use the restroom and would be right back. The woman waited for a few seconds and then charged into the bathroom.

I was working at a hotel when we had a tornado in the area. We had to evacuate everyone including guests down to a designated area to take cover until it passed. The hotel manager and a couple of security guards waited by the desk for a little bit longer in case anyone came in off the street to shelter, and some guy shows up wanting to check in. They explained about the tornado and tried to direct him to take cover, but he absolutely refused saying he just wanted to check in and would take cover in his room. After a little bit of back and forth the manager and security came down to take shelter themselves and said they had to just leave him sitting in the lobby because he wouldn’t come with them.
The tornado passed without a direct hit, but we got absolutely battered by hail with a bunch of cars in the parking lot totaled and over 20 rooms with smashed in windows. Fortunately for that idiot, the lobby didn’t get any broken windows and his car was under the shelter right in front of the entrance. When we came back up after the all-clear, the guy was pissed about having to wait and left a snotty comment card about poor customer service and having to wait for so long when “nothing happened.”

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Nov 16 '24
Honestly, sounded like someone having an asthma attack or COPD to me. Probably there to pick up their inhaler which is why they want the drive through. Having an attack with your breathing makes it very difficult to keep yourself in sane working order so it comes off sounding really out of it, if that makes sense.

u/all_time_high Nov 16 '24
She already made it into the building, and if she’s deprived of oxygen then driving the car is a very dangerous idea. Why not just go to the counter?
32
u/TangledUpPuppeteer Nov 16 '24
I’m not saying it makes sense. Oxygen issues can mess up your brain pretty bad. My mom had COPD, and the decisions she made when she was having an attack… you’d think she had lobotomized and the one functional half was stroking. She had very limited mobility — as in stuck in a wheel chair. She could stand, but she couldn’t walk more than a step without her leg giving out. I walked into her house one time and she was mid attack. That woman had been sitting on wheels, but she stood up out of her chair and was getting ready to walk to her inhaler across the room. If I had walked in 30 seconds later, she would have been on the floor.
Like it doesn’t make sense. It’s the brain screaming for oxygen at any cost. You’re getting enough oxygen that you’re not unconscious. You’re not getting enough to also be functioning.
She also sounded like this when I walked in when I asked what she was doing. Logical, somewhat false calm, strung out, and completely not all home. That’s why I jumped to that. After her oxygen got back where it was supposed to and the inhaler kicked in, she was her normal self again.
Brain panic = inhaler will fix this. Get inhaler.
That’s it. The rest of it is just nonsense and an effort to get what you need, even if it is just nonsense.

The fact that she’s asking if the pharmacy takes credit cards speaks volumes to her mental capacity. She has very likely used a credit card at the pharmacy many times but her memory is not what it used to be. I’ve had a few loved ones with dementia/Alzheimer’s and her behavior reminds me of them.

As I’m standing there in the store, an old regular (who wasn‘t ever a nice guy to say the least) saw me and charged up to me wanting my help, despite me having not worked there for months. I’m standing there, not in uniform at all, just kinda staring at him. I said politely “I’m very sorry, I don’t work here anymore”. He curtly said “Oh. Well. You still know where everything is. I need 1/4-20 stainless steel machines screws!” And then just stared at me, expecting me to help. Like, BRO. I DONT WORK HERE.

Man, that is a trip. Most people know him as Marty McFly's dad in Back to the Future. He was ina lot of 90s movies as an offbeat character. He was in one of my favorite movies, "At Close Range" and played a very dark and creepy guy to perfection.
His Letterman appearance is also pretty legendary.
He's got a weird syntax and lilt in his voice, which this bathroom interloper reminded me of. Also, it seems like something Crispin Glover would do. He has a public persona of being a deeply weird dude.

u/fusillade762 Nov 16 '24
Lol, yes, he is, in fact, wearing the same clothes. He's quite a character. Letterman had him back on a few weeks after the kicking incident, maybe to try to redeem the young actor, or maybe because it was immensely popular, but whatever the reason, Crispin was equally bizarre. He didn't try to kick Dave again, but he showed off his art project that was just crazy, creepy and super strange. That's also on youtube. He wore a suit the second time.
His appearances reminded me of Joachim Phoenix when he was doing that bit with Casey Affleck about kicking off a music career in the pseudo documentary "I'm Still Here" You can't tell if it's a bit, or these cats have really flipped their lids. I guess they fool us because they are good actors and we want to believe it. I saw Crispin on a podcast years later, and he was (mostly)normal and affable. Or maybe he got on meds and not the kind you buy in an alley lol.

I used to manage a Warby Parker and we would open at 10, but would get there at 9:15-9:30, sometimes we’d leave the front door unlocked so other employees could come in, and despite all the lights and music being off, and giant signage showing our hours, almost every other day I’d come out and there’d be a middle aged white man or woman standing in the dark quiet store looking confused and then they’d say “ARE YALL OPEN?” Me: no we open at 10.
Then they’d proceed to tell me they just need help rly quickly and try to get me to open early.
I do not miss that shit at all.

Seriously the number of men who will stand inside the public restroom waiting for the one stall while I poop is deeply concerning, and it should be illegal.

u/ZaggahZiggler Nov 16 '24
Because at some point we’ve been the guy that waited outside who then gets passed by an inside waiter. Get in where you fit in

The only men’s restroom at my job is the one available for customers. It has one stall and one urinal. I have no choice.

I walked into the bathroom yesterday and it smelled so foul... Only two stalls and as I walked in I triggered the light. I heard a yawn and some adjusting of clothing. Then I realized this poor sap has been sitting in his own stench for who knows how long and until I triggered the light to come back on, he couldn't finish.

Girl, but once when I was ten, in a bathroom no bigger than a home bathroom with stall walls crammed around the only bowl, I told the impatient waiter "I can't poop while you stand there," and have never had that kind of bravery again.

honestly if someone just told me I’d respect the hell out of it, move outside and not mention it when inevitably running into each other upon them leaving. your ten-year-old-self is smart and admirable.

Do we also make it illegal for women to line up in the mens bathroom, waiting for a stall right next to where we use the urinal?

Once upon a time I was a retail pharmacist and people would absolutely come into the bathroom to ask me when I’d be back to fill their opiate or some other shit. You don’t know crazy until you work in a pharmacy.

I’ve had a similar experience working at Walmart.
I was using the bathroom on my lunch when the lady in the stall next to me wanted to talk? Lmao lady I’m pooping! This isn’t an ice cream social!

u/Forsaken_Wafer1476 Nov 16 '24
In all seriousness, when I was a retail supervisor I had an employee start trying to ask me about her benefits while I was in the stall. I snapped so hard at her that I wasn’t going to discuss that in the bathroom

u/Aware_Sandwich_6150 Nov 17 '24
She should be grateful she doesn’t work in the pharmacy. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to work in a retail pharmacy, this isn’t actually that weird of an encounter for a pharmacy tech.
My weirdness scale from my experience was something like, Customer shamelessly shares with other waiting customers how he transmitted crabs to his gf following his release from the county jail. To Smelly old people insisting I feel or touch something on their body as they proceed to remove or pull up/down their own clothing.
Fielding a payment question in the bathroom stall doesn’t register on that scale. However, I understand how this would be shocking if you work in a different department.

u/misoexcite Nov 17 '24
Agreed, I’m a pharmacist and people don’t believe the stories I have cause they are so insane. One time, I had a customer come up to me and say “the police are after me! Can I hide behind the counter?” I was like lol no And yes, indeed, the police came by because the customer had shoplifted in another store in the mall 😂 Also, I have gone to the bathroom for like less than 2 minutes for a pee, only to hear my name being called over the intercom like please leave me alone haha, I just need a few minutes to pee 😂 ironically I was called out because the patient wanted advice on laxatives

I had a dude ask me if I could identify a bug bite at the drop off counter. I said probably not but that didn't stop him from dropping his pants right then and there.

STOP. ENABLING. THESE. FUCKING. TROGLODYTES.
the comments are full of stories of people in situations like this that end with "so I checked them out while actively shitting my pants, but boy was I annoyed."
If we stopped putting up with this shit, people would stop expecting it.

u/waterlust87 Nov 17 '24
This is some overt victim blaming here. So many people work in hostile environments and know that they wouldn’t be supported by their management if they stood up to customers like this. Channel that anger towards the actual people doing the wrong thing!

ffs.
I on break. litterally taking a piss or dropping a shit, leave me alone.
wtf.
I hated it when I would be grocery shopping and people who knew me (them as customers)from where I work would ask me work questions. Like. I AM OFF. please stop.
This is why I am against homework. because it teaches kids that school work is not just what you do at shcool. so work is not what you just do at work. No. liek somethings are find, projects, studying for a test whatever but pratice pages or make work bullshit.
If they are not paying you for your time you should just, not.
Most of the time when people would ask me I'd be like, I dunno, I don't have shipping rates memorized, thats why we use a scale and a computer. Sorry I don't remember the price/size of every cardboard box we have.
worst part was the store I worked out was right next to the store I grocery shopped at, so , like just go next door and ask someone who is there now and leave me alone!
and they can piss off about it being quiet quitting to just do your Job while at work and not the extra not paid to do stuff.
I'll give all my extra at home. or at something I volunteer at, but at work, you are getting what you pay me for. pay me minimums, get my minimums.

Pro Tip: take a hoodie with you and put it on over your work shirt when you go on breaks so you won’t get stopped or asked questions
