Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

1. Tell your cashier/bagger that you don't need a bag after they've finished bagging all of your items.

Wait, wrong list. This is a related pet peeve, but if you're in an establishment where there are chairs, push in your radio editing chair when you leave, were you raised in a barn??

This is for a restaurant, but I feel like this is close enough.

Don't use your napkins as coasters for your glasses. I mean, I know it's well-intentioned, but all it does is make me have to pry the wet napkin off your glass. The tables have to be wiped down anyway, so it doesn't matter.

There is a special hell for those type of people who walk into a store five minutes before the place closes to browse the wares.

At Currys I had a customer do that and they wanted me to sell a computer to them in that time. :argh:

At a small Vietnamese restaurant I work at, a woman orders egg rolls with her pickup order over the phone. She drives all the way from downtown for the food, goes all the way back to her house, and discovers that there are no egg rolls. She calls to complain, and whoever answered the call back then promised her free egg rolls the next time she came in.

I answer the phone one day and she calls about the free egg rolls. This is a whole month after the incident. There is no documentation anywhere in the restaurant insisting that this mystery woman deserved free egg rolls. She's really pissed that I'm telling her she can't have her free egg rolls. She hangs up.

Did she honestly expect a random employee to know her exact circumstances after a month and convince the chefs to make her two [radio edit]ing egg rolls for free?

Similarly, there is a very, VERY special place in hell for people that walk into a restaurant 5 minutes before closing, period. When you've already wrapped everything up and washed all the dishes, someone who seriously does that must be a sadist, looking to get jumped, or both.

If a place has a posted closing time, I should be able to get food up until that time. Yeah, it sucks that you can't entirely pre-close, but if the managers or whoever wanted you to be done earlier, they'd close earlier. Don't get me wrong, I can see where the employees are coming from, I hated having to leave pretzels and doughs and stuff on hand until the very last minute, but that's the nature of the product you're selling.

7. don't wait until i finish checking out your items to start writing your check, especially when theres a line. You had the whole time up until then to pre-write the check, as much as you can w/o knowing the total. Also, if you plan on writing a check, bring a pen >.>

I can relate to so many of these

7.a. If you plan on writing a check, stay home. Send your live-in nurse to do your shopping, because you're clearly ancient and shouldn't be on the road. Or out of bed.

Don't ask people who don't work in the store store-related questions or try to get them to do things for you because, well, they don't work there. And just because they're wearing uniforms for some other nearby retail store does not make them yours to command in general. We had idiot mystery shoppers rate 'staff' who turned out to be people who worked in other shops in the shopping center who were shopping in our store.

Also, don't ask people who are clearly on their break store-related questions or try to get them to do things for you. Like, if I'm sitting at a table in the food court having my lunch, don't come up to me and ask me if we have a certain random book in stock. Also, don't ask me to clean a dirty tray off a table so you can use it. That's not even my job, and it makes you look like an elitist shithead who can't do basic menial tasks for yourself.

Oh God, my sympathies. I once had a customer come in five minutes before closing wanting me to sell them a bird, but they knew literally nothing about birds and wanted me to detail how to take care of them and help them pick out a cage and every single thing in that time. There's not a quick way to do that if you want the bird to be healthy and happy. Plus, we still had to finish taking care of the other animals in the store if we didn't want to go over the amount of hours we were scheduled and get scolded by the managers for not having the payroll for the extra time we worked.

Most of my complaints are related to the pet-industry, but I've got a few general comments:

9. If an associate is currently with another customer, don't come up to that associate and demand to be serviced immediately. Unless it's an emergency, you're going to have wait your turn like everyone else.
10. Don't try to intimidate an associate if they can't do something because of store policy (ex: a manager is needed to get a specific items and the managers are all tied up at the moment, no stockers are on the clock to get a product down from the shelf in the back and they're the only ones certified to use forklifts, an animal can't be sold to the customer because the conditions described by the customer are unsafe for the animal and they have no intention of changing them, etc).
11. Don't leave random things in completely different sections than where you know you got them just because you decided you didn't want the thing. If you don't know where you got it from, ask an associate. Especially don't do this with items that need to be refrigerated!
12. Don't let your little children roam around the store unsupervised. The employees can't watch your kids!
