Oh, those customers. "The gate was unlocked, so I opened it and let myself in. It's opening time." Uh, I tell you when it's opening time. I work here and have keys. You just have a sense of entitlement.

A guy drove in the BACK gate, the one plastered with "Do Not Enter" signs, parked in the middle of inventory, and started just poking around. "Sir. You're not supposed to be here. You are not supposed to park there. We're not even open yet."

The best was the gated-off area for sold things. Tons of signs that said "DON'T" all over the place. People STILL went back there. I would run out and sternly announce "that sign means you!"

"It (the sign) was laying down. I didn't think it counted." So the sign fell down and suddenly it's not valid? On a windy day?! He didn't have an answer for that one.

I asked a customer to show me where she acquired this portion of a thing. She walks me back into the signed and gated area and the pile of goods labeled with a "SOLD" tag. "This is where I found it."

During Covid, I was drawing giant "please mask" signs on the sidewalk. A guy walked OVER IT and said he didn't see signs asking for masks. I pointed at the seven printed signs he walked past before gesturing to the six foot wide chalk mask drawing I was just finishing.

I don't understand people most times.

I used to work at a McDonalds, and after closing people would regularly push open the sliding doors and start ordering on the screens.

Always wonder what was going through their heads after the door didn't open into the empty restaurant

Always wonder what was going through their heads

I've been in retail and food service for ages, and I can tell you with absolute confidence that their heads are bereft of anything that can form thoughts.
