  • 80's training video for Jewel grocery stores. Filmed in the Chicago suburb of Elmhurst, 1988.
    Backstory: I worked at Jewel during college and one my jobs was training new employees. That meant watching corporate training videos. The videos were not good, with one exception: Customers First! Now here was a true gem. The jingle, the graphics, and all these hilarious examples of terrible customer service. I would make trainees watch it multiple times. Anyways, on my last day or work, I snatched the video and now I share it with you!

      ​@@edwardfights4900 Why would they do that and go against progress? Characters like the Joker were made in a time when 99% of all popular main characters were white because people of color weren't allowed enough of a presence or voice in media (and society).
      So now that we realize the errors of our ways, but most entertainment is currently stuck on remaking classics, it's common sense to recast characters as other races so the updates aren't so exclusionary and filled with 99% white people again.
      But here we are again with an idiot conservative loser, making assumptions about people "having heart attacks" over little things, when YOU are the one who got so offended in the first place that you rushed to try and "get" me with some racist nonsense because I was commenting on a guy's good acting. How pathetic.

They bitch you out and demand to speak with a manager because, you know, "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT!" Manager comes over and bitches you out for not immediately ringing up all of their stuff. You finally finish and then the next customer bitches you out for having to wait so long because they're in a rush. You apologize and then that manager comes back over and bitches you out again. Fun times.

    If anything, the "good" examples are even funnier than the "bad" ones because the cashier always looks like she's barely suppressing rage or the urge to beat the shit out of the customers.

    Yknow, some customers can be assholes but it's important to remember the good ones.
    Just the other day I helped a lady out to her car, she gave me a hug and said she hopes santa Claus is 'real good to me this year'. Such a sweet lady.
    There was the guy buying mild pepper rings and when my hungry ass started talking about how I liked them he dead seriously said 'well, get you one'. I declined but it was nice of him.
    And also all the nice people who say cool things about my daith piercing, complimenting it and saying it's pretty.
    Yeah, people can be assholes. But they can also be very sweet.

      @@wweandy123 the netherlands. And in stores that do sometimes have A coupon. Sometimes it is just automatically discounted, without coupon. Sometimes you have to scan the coupon. But that extreme couponing is not possible where Iive, due to lack of coupons.
      And my store has none at all, but is really cheap. So you get more people complaining about prices.

    Lmao I relate to these people. I love the "harsh" side they show to customers. As previously being in a grocer cashiering job for 3 miserable years. This is so true! I hated the ones especially that had WIC cards and f**ked up the systems with items not specified that the card covered.
