Two stories in one day! This one just happened so I’m still pretty annoyed about it. standard mobile disclaimer

If you didn’t see my last post, I work at blue Swedish furniture. Most of the items you pick up yourself in our warehouse, but some things live behind our safety gates so we can run forklifts during the day. We only give out locations to customers if they can get the item on their own. Otherwise, the tag will direct them to see a coworker.

So a woman comes up to me to get something from behind the gates.

Customer: I need something from bin 58 but there’s a gate blocking it off.

Me: Can I ask how you have that location?

C: Uhhhhhh because the lady told me that’s where it is. pulls up a picture of our scanners with the info

Me: Oh. She shouldn’t have done that because you can’t go back there. What’s the article number?

Woman reads me the number so I can put in the order for her while her husband walks up. I couldn’t hear his question but she tells him that I yelled at her. I ignore that comment in the interest of not getting into an argument. I printed off the order form and explain, as pleasantly as I can, how to pay for their item and pick it up.

C: starting to walk away Okay. Sorry YOUR coworker did something wrong, NOT me.

Me: Well, yeah. That’s why I asked. So I would know who to talk to.

I’m not sure if she was just having a bad day or if she’s always that unpleasant, but I bet she and her husband get into a lot of fights.
