Also I want to comment on some people that shop at Macy's...

I would think this would happen in Walmart or Kmart, but in Macy's???



I was never a fan of Macy's....but that's just going too far.

There is a Wal-Mart near Midway Airport that is really bad too, childish things like those happen there like it's a routine.

I think some of that if not a lot of that is probably pretty directly related to bitterness from the Macy takeover of Fields. I personally refuse to shop at Macys, though wont see me pulling any of that. Is way over the top. Also having worked at McDonalds in the distant past I've delt with my share of f'ing stupid people.

I could never do fast food, as a customer I've seen so much crap happen and I wouldn't have the patience to deal with it as an employee.

With Macy's I just don't understand, even the majority of the guests I dealt with when I worked at Great America were more civilized than some of the Macy's shoppers. The Macy-Field's fiasco I'm sure has something to do with it but I also wonder if it's the area the store is in.

We still get the "I still wish it was Field's" comments all the time... and every time I can honestly say "I agree". Alot of people still use their Field's card when they shop, and every now and again I'll see a customer walking around or returning stuff in a green-striped paper Field's bag. I've got a collection going of all the Field's bags customers have returned stuff in and they never took their bag back.

One of my favorite SFGAm moments ever was one time DejaVu was being evacuated and somebody in the station was giving security a hard time. He then tried to get away by jumping over the railing in the station and landed on the rocks where there was a security guy standing right there.

Also (this happens at Disneyland) people who try to sneak their babies onto roller coasters by hiding them in their jacket.

Riddlers Revenge station has been playing 1 song over and over again since it opened in 1998, it gets annoying hearing it repeat over and over again just standing in the station waiting to ride once. How hard can it be to add music to a station loop (which is probably just CD or compact flash).

I very much would like to comment/rant about a certain thread posted tonight, but it will be a waste of time because the post will be either deleted or I will get chewed for it.

That... is stupid.

Adding another one to my "Macy List":

-Someone took a piss in a fitting room today, and it leaked into another one.

This is ridiculous.

Here are 2 Good Ones.

I Asked My Sister if she wanted to be an Organ Doner (Cause I'm One) and she said "No, Surgery would Hurt"

I told my Mom that My Dad was going to be home in about 10 Minutes. Someone knocks on the door and my mom says "Do you think that's Dad?"

I said "No, Its a Burgler. He's Just really Polite." HERE'S YOUR SIGN

Jon,

You work at Macy's and have to deal with stupid customers day in and day out.

Try working at my company...


COMCAST

Where not only the customers are stupid, but the company and 97% of the people that work there are stupid too.

Everywhere in the world, stupid crap happens.

For example, I work at Blockbuster.
Our "public" bathrooms are located behind two other rooms, our regular back room (clocking in and out/pop and candy/random retail stuff) and then our conference room. The door to these rooms CLEARLY say, "EMPLOYEES ONLY" But does that stop anyone? Definitely not a train of around four kids from storming our back room to have a pee party all over the bathroom floor.

Also, how people can't read signs.
They can read the sign that says "2 for 10" But not the one we put next to it saying, "MUST GET TWO MOVIES"
Man. Oh man.

The real world is dumb.

I hate people on YouTube who rip videos then repost them. It makes no sense.

Stupidest thing I have read on the internet excluding stuff from this forum is, "Polish? I have never head of such a language."

On the topic of customers doing stupid things: I have worked at a movie theatre for the past 3 years. One time I was an usher and standing down one of the halls. This one girl starts walking down the hall towards me with an Icee when it begins to expand and over flow. She looks at me freaks out, and yells at me, "FIX IT!" All I did was give her a stupid look and told her to drink it.

Yet another one for the Macy's list. This jerk left a mess in the fitting room with the paper and garbage that comes with dress shirts, and he ripped the sign off the wall that reads:

"THANKS FOR HELPING US
Only 6 Items per Guest
Bring Unwanted Items
To The Rack at the
Fitting Room Entrance"


...and left it on the pile of clothes.

This next week is going to be Hell.

I swear, between all the stupid crap going on lately at Macy's, all we need is Jay and Silent Bob and they can shoot Clerks 3 there. This is ridiculous.

Yesterday, for the second time I got telemarketed twice at work! First on my cell phone by Coldwell Banker trying to sell me a house (for that matter why would they try to sell a house to an 18-yr old at 10:30am, and where the Hell did they get my number from??).

Later, DISH Network called the Polo department's phone trying to tell me "we're installing your DISH service today, and you've been upgraded to the sports package!". This isn't the first time DISH has called the Polo department, and of course their crap is so automated that you can't connect to a real person to cuss at.

What the Hell happened to the supposed "Do Not Call List"??

^ I know what you mean about the calls. EBAY calls me about every 2 weeks at 5 am (7 PST time where they are based) to tell me the same stuff they e-mail me a week before. I have called 6 times to have them remove me and no dice.

Welp, another jerkoff pissed in the fitting room Monday. What is wrong with people today?!

These jerks are also leaving empty cigarette packs on the tables of clothes even though garbage cans are right by the doors for people to toss them in while they walk out to smoke. Picked up 3 packs last week on 3 different tables.
