I just went grocery shopping. Good lord it was bliss - probably like 3 other people were shopping. No waiting in lines or trying to edge around someone else's stupid cart in the middle of the aisle. I loaded up on discounted canned pumpkin and jellied cranberry sauce.
Yeah I don't give two shits about a customer. Whether I am helpful or not has absolutely no bearing how much money I am making. You only need to do enough to keep your job, unless you're determined to rise through the ranks and make a career out of it.

This is the reason why people harass you to go look in the back. They expect this attitude from every employee who isn't management.

I really don't understand this line of logic
If you are going to do as shitty of a job as possible at work, what possible satisfaction could you ever take away from it? Even if I'm working a minimum wage job, I at least do it well, because then I don't feel like a worthless fuckstain and it usually gives me leeway with my bosses when I want something.

How does 'not being helpful' have no bearing on how much money you make. If you aren't helpful you risk losing your job, and will then be out of money. If you aren't helpful, and your store makes less money because of it, you also risk losing your job.

Yeah but only in aggregate, and that's where the attitude comes in. Because it's unlikely that you'll sink the ship all by yourself, right? A lot of people can't understand the core concepts of professionalism, in this case doing a good job even though your job isn't impressive, demanding, or high-status.
My local EBs only have the boxes of games on the shelves, so if you want something, you take the box to them, and they go and get the rest of the stuff, manual, disk, whatever from the back.
Once I asked for a game (without asking them to go anywhere), and they said 'yes, we have that. I'll go grab it from the back.'

Totally. I have had some shitty jobs, but I do them to the best of my ability because it was my job. Hank Hill was always baffled when people didn't share this mindset.
When people would bitch about being sold a 'gutted' new game (the last new copy, used as a display) would complain I'd just go 'check the back' and shrink wrap it really quick and whoops 'one last copy, eh, Mr. Lucky?'
i've only once been a bit of a dick to a guy at an EB
it was when guitar hero 2 first came out and i needed a second guitar. i'd already bought the game elsewhere
i saw one on the shelf and was like, 'i'll have that one'
'oh, no, there's a fault in that. it's chinese and the controller doesn't work. you need a special adapter, which we don't have any of'
'well i got that same model for my sister for christmas and it worked fine without an adapter. i'll grab it.' (that much was true)
'i can't sell it to you. it won't work be-'
'i'll take my odds. thanks.'
'listen, you won't -'
'thanks.'
in the end he grudgingly went and got it for me. magically, he found the 'adapter' in the back while he was getting it together, which he gave to me free (and the controller did end up requiring). so i'm not sure who was being the dick to who
i did apologise for myself and say that i really really wanted to play guitar hero before leaving
I work at a grocery store and there's a good chance if it isn't on the shelf, it IS in the back because the daycrew are lazy assmunchers
Yeah, see the only reason I ever ask for "the back" is because the way I imagine a store works and the way I imagine most people working for minimum wage "work" is that they might not have gotten around to stocking it yet because they are flat out lazy.
Man I don't give a shit if you're not planning on making a career out of it.
I worked at Best Buy for four years through university. I worked my ass off every day I was there. I learned to hate the job - I still busted my ass. I always planned to quit as soon as I graduated.
People who do the minimum are the fucking worst. You know what? Because you're a worthless sack of shit, I have to work even harder to cover up your uselessness, you pointless waste of flesh.

Yes heaven forbid it's street dated or just plain not here at all it's because those fuckers are lazy.
That look of boredom and defeat is not laziness it is because we hate our jobs and the people that it comes with.
Edit- I should note however I have worked with some lazy fuckers.

I worked with people who did jack shit compared to me. They got paid the same. They got their days off. They never got fired and barely reprimanded. I don't know. I kind of felt like they won and hated myself a little for not being able to slack a little, but management liked me so...yay?
Also, there's a back, but you don't want anything back there. Fair game if it's a grocery store and they're out of whatever milk or something. There's probably a stock back there. Feel free to ask.
Any job I've ever had. Even shit ones for minimum wage I made sure I was the damn BATMAN of that job.
When I worked at Subway? I was so fast at making a sandhich that they were going to send me to the yearly sandwich artist tournaments they apparently have where you can win a trip to Hawaii for the FINALS.
I currently work part-time at Old Navy. With my particular store we get such a retarded amount of product on shipment days (which are when i work), that asking if something is in the back is a perfectly valid question because the back rooms are flooded with clothes that we can't fit out on the floor.

You know how at the movie theater if you see more than four or five people in the popcorn line you don't even bother getting your popcorn and stuff because you know you'll miss the trailers and the beginning of the movie?
NOT ME
I should have been cloned I would have lines of like 20 people DONE before those other slackheads and pimplenecks could get THREE people done.
Some people might say that I shouldn't work so hard for minimum wage but I figure if I'm stuck there I might as well enjoy it.
I was so fast, seriously.
And those ones you see that are slow? There's no way they should be that slow. I don't think they should be as fast as I was but those people are purposely that fucking slow or uncoordinated. There's no excuse. There's like two things on the damn menu.

To be fair, I've been at various EB's that managed to fuck their inventories up so that they often had to look in the back to see.
Once I asked for a game (without asking them to go anywhere), and they said 'yes, we have that. I'll go grab it from the back.'
Though I suppose this is kinda different.

the worst person
I've worked with three separate worst people I've ever met. I'm not sure how I keep finding worse people to work with.
Was the customer Keith Olbermann? Because he does that pretty often.
thanks, middle-aged trophy wife. i'm doing fine with my two degrees, thanks.
degrees in customer service and retailology?
damned straight
i only wish i'd majored in 'snappy answers to stupid questions'

It made me smile then and it makes me smile now
at I doubt I'm the first one to do it
Man when I worked at GameStop we couldn't even check out games because a handful of the previous employees had been busted stealing them.
Way to fuck it up for the rest of us, jerkfaces.

I wonder how much splashed urine got on those DS cases, over the years. . .
they're probably still there
