Ha ha! I totally know how it goes.

Oh my. You just summed up my professional life in 11 pictures! XD This made my night at work totally better - I had at least one of each type tonight. o.O

I just saw my days at Toys R Us in this story! LMAO
(needless to say, I work from home now because my patience was wearing thin)

(hugs)

Same here, and I can tolerate quite a bit .... the kids didn't bother me that much; it was the adults that got on my nerves quickly. lol

I definitely feel K's pain there. I was tempted once to make myself a t-shirt that read "I AM NOT A MIND READER".

Work can be so annoying XD I work at a hotel and sometimes I want that sign, even for the people I work with. haha

Quick question, which pony is in the first panel? The white one with the painting stuff on her cutie mark? She looks familiar but I can't quite place her name.

And the glasses on the pony from the littlest pet shop? tehe

Agreed. And they seem a little bit too small for their faces as well.

And here I voted for you, Pretty Pop. Maybe she's feeling too secure in her victory now.

I do not understand the endorsement thing. DOES NOT COMPUTE. You can see the number of times I've tried to check out fragile library resources.

Suck it up, Kimono! :P

Kimono is like those kids who won't let me check out the music Anthologies at my own library, then. I don't want to use a study carol. ;.;

I worked at Toys R Us and now Ocean State Job Lot. ( Discount store on the east coast) and thats pretty much how it goes. Customers are idiots.

Haha...I am plugging this at customerssuck

I feel your retailistic pain! Oi!

Oh yeah, I hear ya. I work at a Stop and Shop, and especially in the self-scan section, keeping an eye on the customers and solving their problems, some of which are legitimate, but most they bring on themselves. I no longer have any sympathy for anyone who continues to press their card (and a full, heavy, keychain) against the scale while the register is squawking at them to "remove all items from the scanner scale."
So many other stories I could tell...

I've never worked retail, but everyone I know who does most definitely feels your pain. >_<

Wow! The transcriptions are quite a task to tackle! O_o Good work, everyone! (I'd help, but I don't know that I'd quite be that good at it! ^_^)

Thanks!! Link to where I got them is in my user pic info if you want to nab them--the gal did a whole series on them, and they're hilarious!

You can't mess it up, because I get to edit transcriptions before I approve them. ^_^

Geez, really? Maybe I will try my hand at one, then!

I did work in retail, but not long enough to experience all the possibilities of annoying customers.

Now, I did work in a pet shop however, and let me tell you, when people are shopping for, say, hamsters who aren't tame and leap out of your hands the first chance they get... that is the worst, because they'll go through every single one of them until they find one that will sit still. :x

I've also had a customer grab tons and tons and tons of things, tell me he was going to get his debit card, then came back two hours later, grabbed more things, so I've got this huge pile of things on one of the counters... and then he ended up disappearing somewhere and never buying them. >.>

Oh yes! I used to work in (fast) foodservice and THIS IS ALL TRUE. OMG OMG OMG!

Nice perspective in panel 7. ^_^

"Until I'm told otherwise." Haha. That was the reasoning most of us used when we would try to deviate from our uniforms. I wore a rubber band around my wrist for a week once, until I got yelled at for it.

Thankfully, I'm out of that. I've been telemarketing for eight months now, and oddly, it's less stressful. I love my job now! ^_^

OMG. This is the 99th KT. WOOT for episode 100!

Ah, yes -- the wonders of customer service. I still get custom order requests sometimes, even though my shop's closed and empty and I have no-custom-orders notes in my storefront and profile. Sometimes I think I need a sign like Kimono's. ^_^

I love it, but I think I'm not quite understanding the punchline. Someone help me "get it" please? :D

All these cameos are so much fun. ^_^

Yeah, I see the sign. Is she saying it to all the dunderheads that are showing up at her desk? XD

I worked in retail back in high school...need I say more? >_< Incidentally, this comic, called "Retail," might be of interest to you. ;-)

That's Pretty Pop. And yep, she has a gumball machine!

I'm a pony collector from Spain and I've read your whole work. It's great! I love the characters, and the photos are really good done. You've got another fan! ^o^

PD: I'm glad to see Spring Song in there, I've got her!

Yes your pain is universal. I work at a sweets store, and people can't even be bothered to read the sign exactly 3 inches above my head. -___- Really makes you wonder... where the hell do these people come from?

! Birdie unicorn pony!

I bought her because her hobby was "practicing bird calls" and I felt an immediate kinship.

And even though I can remember the names of 100 or so ponies from my childhood, I can't remember the name of "Birdwatcher Pony".
