Asshole-ish and Stupid Customers at your job

The teller has to come out of the store to yell at me that that particular pump is pay-first at night.

the sign was right behind my head.

This is why I don't complain about the stupidity of people at their worst.

Ya, I get that a lot. I work at a theme park, so people ask where the restroom is even though it's right behind me. Usually, they have that "oh damn. I can't believe it was just right infront of me" type of look. I mean, most people aren't trying to be assholes when they ask those types of questions. They just truly didn't know. After you understand that, it gets so much easier not to give an attitude to customers that ask those types of questions.

Oh and once, I was doing some grocery shopping. There was this guy with a box shelving some items, so I assumed he was a worker at the grocery store. So I ask here where so and so items were located. He responds back with, "oh I don't work here. I'm just shelving these inventories." I'm like "what the fuck?!" Later I learned that these guys are called "rackers". Grocery stores make money by selling shelving spaces. So sometimes it's cheaper for both the grocery store and the company buying the shelving space to use a third party racker.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
