For the most part I do maintain my composure but the city I live in, the average IQ for a shopper is around 60. Most of them are teen-agers who break curfew, kids who wander off from parents, grown adults acting like children. I like my job and pay my bills, but would I deck a customer, oh hell no, i let karma do that and local law enforcement.]]>May 5th 2009 6:18AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/May 5th 2009 10:56AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/May 5th 2009 11:01AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/May 7th 2009 1:45PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/May 3rd 2009 6:20PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/May 4th 2009 10:17PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/May 5th 2009 2:29PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/
Tom, You are absolutely right! I have never worked in customer service, And one of the reasons is exactly that I am not a people person and would probably have conflicting attitudes with customers. Therefore, I STRAY AWAY from customer service jobs. I know that some customers are completely ignorant, but that does not mean that anybody should get beaten shopping.

WTF this is pathetic. Ever since the economic crisis became a major concern, there has been a wave of violence, mostly pathetic acts of pointless violence. It seems evident on this blog article reply that most readers agree with the thought of beating the crap out of customers. Violence is not the answer, and if anything, violence just makes any situation worse.

You are against the war, but you want to harm your customers for buying at your store???]]>May 14th 2009 11:26AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/
i work at Home Depot now in the garden department and people constantly get upset with me (yes with me, just a humble employee) because the store doesn't carry random lawnmower part X. i constantly get the "well if Home Depot sells the mower, then they should carry a replacement transmission for it." argument which sounds ridiculous to anyone who works in retail. these large stores usually only carry minor maintenance parts only for products that we currently sell....if we're not out of stock. the sooner people, as retail employees, understand that most customers don't understand how retail works, the better off you are.

and to the customers, i say use the dang internet. there are plenty of helpful people on there and you can find everything you need in most cases before you have to go into the store to buy something from someone who doesn't care about providing you with good service or know anything about their job. i actually research everything online before i go to the store so the most i need to ask anybody is "could you tell me where this item would be located?" if i can't find it on my own by reading the signs. your not going to run into someone like me who actually wants to help the customer in most cases and then things like this article happens when people get frustrated.

in general, retail sucks, and the sooner people learn this, the less we have to hear about stuff like this.]]>May 18th 2009 2:51PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/May 3rd 2009 7:47PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/May 3rd 2009 8:02PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/May 3rd 2009 9:48PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/May 4th 2009 9:14PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/May 5th 2009 10:30AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/May 3rd 2009 10:36PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/03/radio-shack-customer-asks-for-manager-receives-beating-instead/May 3rd 2009 11:29PM
