Female customers in retail

[TheRunningManParticipant 71]

Female customers in retail are a complete nightmare. I am a manager for one of the phone carriers. We have several female customers who act like children and demand their way constantly. They simply dont care how childish or rude they are. One lady threatened to personally sue one of my male employees, and called him useless. Another one today called me a liar, and then flipped out when I couldnt return her purchase without restock fees. Just amazing and painful to work with a majority of the female customers. Especially in management. The bright side is I am hopefully being promoted soon, and hopefully wont have to deal with them nearly as much. At the same time, a larger part of me says f~~~ it m8, learn code and ditch this place. Pay is good, but I absolutely hate these bitches. Theyre all old and miserable. They make life very difficult. And then they treat their beta husbands like trash. Just needed to vent, but learning code looks better and better by the day. But I just dont know where to start and of course dont want to shell out money for college. Just came to vent, really. But none the less, intrigued on where to start learning code. Any ideas?

Ha, I have worked retail as well, and have had the same exact experience with women customers. They are nuts, and come across as entitled and p~~~y. I never once had a problem with a single male customer. But women… they can raise hell and kick and scream like children from time to time.

Yep. They’re even worse in customer service.

When women lead, destruction is the destination. -- Me.

Retail is tough, best thing you can do is to always keep your cool. Don’t take the attitude personal, people just suck and are too afraid to admit it.

There are various coding platforms, pick one that seems best suited for the direction you want to go in and start watching videos / reading. There are also plenty of online courses if you need more structure.

There is no best path, you just have to start somewhere and see where it takes you.

I thought what I'd do was I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes...or should I?

I work in retail as well, but not customer facing, I work the back room. I see the grief these salespeople go through, and women to women seem to be the worst. It isn’t all women, entitlement in the US society has gone rampant.

A good example was last evening, 5’5″ LW, probably 250, walking around in denim shorts and crop top, front butt showing, with husband in tow carrying both her purse and her victoria’s secret bag, as she browsed through the formal dresses in our ritzy store… eating auntie anne’s pretzel bites and turning to him to hand her the soda every time she needed a drink. I regretfully was stuck following this for 5 minutes.. yet he happily acted like he would do anything for her… so plugged in I wanted to scream at him… All I could think of was what the hell did she buy at Victoria’s secret that he would want to see her in?

No longer can we walk away, we must run. Remove the motive power.

I’m trying for a very long time to get a job in retail, and I have my beefs about it also; mostly female management or human resources. I never one time had a pleasant experience with a female human resource. Some don’t answer the phone, some ask me off-script interview questions just to get me to say something disqualifying.

Hell I dealt with 4 of them that I just wanted to belt in the ass:
1 Subway (that location is now gone). I was being interviewed for cleaning. She asked me a question and when I gave her the answer I thought at the time (no one explains anything to me; I have to already know all this situational stuff), she cops an attitude. She was fat, ugly, and mean to me.

2 Kohl’s. When this one woman learned that I had no previous job experience, she told me I have no chance to ever working, and I should get a job in the park and scrapping up road kill. Then she has the gall to compare me to her picture-perfect daughter who has a cozy hair dressing job. When she told me that I will never have a working life, I literally held back tears, and let it out in the car. I felt like I total loser after that. No eager and struggling 23-year-old with mental handicaps should be reduced to tears and feel like a hopeless loser while some c~~~ manager is making her daughter look like Princess Perfect.

3. TJ Maxx. This one woman treated every answer I gave her as if she caught me in a lie, and acted like every position was “too much” for me. So yeah, she treated me like I was some compulsive liar. Again, another female manager that treated me like I was a loser.

4. Target. This one I think had it in for me because I’m a guy. The first 2 female managers (phone managers) wanted me to work in the electronic section real badly, but when it came to the face-to-face with another female manager (a real fat, ugly 27 y/o social justice type), she asks me questions which I gave the perfect answer. Then she starts going off-script and asks questions based on my previous answers and that is when I gave a disqualifying answer. By the way, the Friday before when I had the phone interview for the electronics job, there were 32 total positions available in the store. Then the day of the interview (Monday) the face-to-face manager said that the electronics job was filled and I had to keep on showing interest in 6 other departments, which were all filled. I told her that all these jobs were advertised at every cash checkout 3 days ago, and she acted like she knew nothing about it. I even showed her the paper advertisement, and she still continued to be ignorant about it. So I asked her which job is left and she said “cleaning the bathrooms.” Funny how 32 jobs got filled over the weekend, and that 2 previous managers tried their hardest to get me that electronics job. I swear she was purposely trying to prevent me from getting anywhere.

I haven’t worked in retail and I don’t know what’s going on with that Best Buy job (last Wednesday I called and decisions weren’t made yet; so I’m still in the game). So my retail beef is female managers and human resources.

I have been interviewed by men more times and it’s always a pleasant experience, even if I don’t get to second base of the interview process. At least I walked out of there with a better feeling, but after being interviewed by a woman, I mutter to myself “I know I just f~~~ed over.”
