Ordered my parts to pick up at a local Argos store. Received confirmation from the courier they had arrived, great. Pop down there show the dude my confirmation. Am informed it has arrived but I have the wrong code, ill receive another when its booked in. Ask if they can book it in since I’m there (what we do at my store with click and collect.) Dude says it might be booked in at some point today or tomorrow and to come back some other time. Id get a disciplinary for service like that... TLDR: GIVE ME MY PARTS ARSEHOLES.

You work at an Argos? How do you deal with the hordes of complete morons? I’ve worked retail I know the pain.

I don't know why but I'm compelled to leave this here.

Sounds like bollocks to me. I’d complain to Argos’s head office, because I’m pretty sure that’s not how that collection thing is supposed to work.

I worked at Wickes from when I was still doing GCSEs until I was 22. My favourite thing is when people assume you are an expert in things because you work at a DIY store. Dafuq do you expect a 16 year old to know about plumbing, and if they did know about plumbing why would they be working at wickes?

That’s what I ‘liked’ about supermarket cashier work—they all assume you’re dumb as a post. Kept complicated questions at bay, but didn’t stop people querying me about everything from local tourist attractions to whether we stocked such and such a specific sauce*.

*Little known fact about the average till-staff at supermarkets: unless we transferred over - which no one ever does, ‘cause why would you want to - we generally know fuck all about every other department in the store, and most certainly do not have an encyclopaedic knowledge of every product we stock.

Yeah I love when they assume you’re an expert. Funniest is when I’m on fragrance because I have a super weak sense of smell, so when they ask for opinions I can’t help them too much.
