Woman Shares Five Things Customers Say That Get On Retail Workers’ Nerves

She's tired of hearing the same annoying lines over and over again

A retail worker has shared a list of annoying things customers say at the tills - and I have to admit, I'm guilty of more than one of these. Check it out below:

Charlie Smith, or @charlie.smth as she's known on TikTok, took a playful swipe at customers who use the same tired lines over and over again, going on to say she and her fellow retail workers 'hear the same thing 13 times in half an hour'.

She starts the clip: "This is five things customers say that always get on retail workers' nerves.

"Number one, you're on the checkouts and something isn't scanning and they go 'oh, it must be for free then'.

"No, Stacey, it isn't for free, the barcode's just not p***ing scanning.

"Number two, the 'oh you look bored, I'll come to you' - when you are just happily minding your own business.

"No, I'm not bored, I'm just avoiding customers."

Charlie then takes aim at customers who aren't paying proper attention while they stand in line waiting to be served.

She says: "Number three is when they queue for checkouts and are not concentrating.

"As soon as they notice the till in front of them is free - 'oh, sorry dear I was away with the fairies'."

This person probably joked they 'only came in for one thing'.

Next Charlie lambasts customers' tired attempts at humour.

She says: "Number four, the classic 'one thing' line.

"They load a whole two weeks food shop onto your till and go, 'oh I only came in for one thing'.

"And then you've got to laugh and pretend you haven't heard that thirteen other times in the past half an hour."

Finally, Charlie ends her retail worker rant by blasting those who ask the price of an item that they could have easily just read off the shelf they picked it up off.

She says: "Number five, asking 'how much is this?' when they could have looked on the shelf.

"And then having the audacity to act surprised when they see the price.

"Why couldn't you have looked at the label that was directly under the item you picked up?"
