So, for all that don't know, I work at Toys R Us. WORST DAY IN HISTORY TO WORK IN ANY FORM OF RETAIL IS BLACK FRIDAY! You get all the worst customers in the world. Everyone is on edge, everyone wants what they can't have, and everyone is ready to fight over a trivial piece of plastic.
This Black Friday I was stuck on the game case as I was the only one there that had experience in working the floor for Black Friday. I get a group of cashiers to run the check out while I tote and carry all the games and systems back and forth from the storage room or game case to the registers.
I have next to no time to actually answer questions and just my luck, I get customers that know absolutely nothing about videogames. I had to repeat the same thing four times to one woman before I said, "Ma'm, I've explained this to you on the level that a kindergardener could understand. If you don't understand still, you need to go look for another gift cause I have other people that I have to assist and I can't stand here another hour explaining the same thing to you."
It was rude, but I had 40 people waiting on me to get their games and the lady was trying to get an Xbox for her 5 year old and just didn't understand that there weren't many games her kid could play on that system and there were no alternative to the large sale games that she wanted to buy but weren't the right age rating for her child. I offered her the Wii and Wii U TWICE as they were more age appropriate consoles but she didn't want them.
I had three other ladies come up while I was helping her and start arguments with her so I could leave to help other. My day was pretty much full of people like her. While I survived yet another Black Friday I have to ask. WHY THE HELL DO YOU SHOP FOR THINGS YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT?!
Do not get the item if you cannot pronounce the name, don't get the item if you have to ask the same question twice. DO some freakin research on what you are buying cause odds are you aren't getting the right thing.
Why are holiday shoppers so freakin stupid?!
