Auauau pain. Hatehatehatehate. orz
And it's finally my day off but I can't go anywhere because I have no change. Why did I forget to get a bus pass this month. *headwall* I can finally go to anime club, though, but I don't know if it's cancelled or if we get our clubroom back or what. Someone enlighten me. D: Either way, I need to celebrate my not being stuck answering phones at night.
Speaking of work, it's beginning to frustrate me how people take every excuse they can not to check what size they are. Apparently, they somehow think that waiting for three different sizes of everything, going through the trouble of trying them all on, taking them back and answering the returns questions for each one is more convenient than just getting the one they want.
*"Oh, you can never trust those things." (Then why do we have them? They work for most people.)
*"Yes, but I'm between the sizes." (Me too. I manage.)
*"It differs from brand to brand." (We homogenized the charts of our own brands last Fall, and are currently working on matching those to the national brands. That doesn't work anymore.)
*"I'm buying this for my daughter/son/mother who lives in Ontario/a nursing home/my basement." (Then ask what size they are. Or measure them. If it's a surprise, check their clothing tags. I'm sure you visit them, even if they do live in Ontario.)
*"What chart?" (Um, we made them more obvious this year... and they've always been easy to find. This is better than the other answers, though, since you can usually get them to check it once they find it.)
*"I just want to compare the colours." (That's why there are pictures. And yes, going off pictures works; we have flags showing up when the saturation on the picture was wrong, which is very rare, and I once ordered bedsheets to match a colour of paint on the wall based off the internet picture and got it perfectly.)
*"Am I not allowed to order two?" (Geez, I'm just trying to help.)
orz people.
