You know what's annoying? People who stroll into the office looking to get served on the spot at 4:55. Don't be a douche.

I know how that feels. I volunteer at a charity shop 3 days in the week, usually til closing at 5.00pm, and near enough every day I'm in, we get someone coming in 5 minutes from closing, and deciding "oh I know, I'll just pop in and spend half an hour looking at what they have for sale, before deciding not to buy anything, then give the volunteers and staff crap because they want to close up/won't give me a discount despite the fact that it's store policy not to give discounts". Grrr.
Sorry for the rant, it's just something that really annoys me.

They really would expect discounts when they're the ones that came late? I mean, I realize they probably have jobs and stuff, but it's not the staff's fault. Here stores don't even let us look around for a few minutes, if you try to come in to get something, even quickly, you'll be kicked out (though people here do have a reputation of being jerks...
).

First of all, Jen, it's exactly the same at the shop I volunteer at. It's all second hand, and in pretty good condition, considering, so for the prices we put stuff out at, you'd think people would see them as a bargain. Sadly, that isn't always the case. Secondly, Maddy, unfortunately, that seems to be the modern British mentality, at least in my neck of the woods. Usually if they ask for a discount, their either just trying to scam the shop, or they do it so they have an excuse to kick off about it.
Then there's the ones who try to steal from the shop. They either peel off the price stickers and replace it with one with a lower price on it, or stick it in their bags and walk out the store. One of the other volunteers overheard a guy the other day. We've had issues with him and his family stealing before. He was in the store with his daughter, she couldn't be older than 8 yrs old, and this volunteer was keeping an eye on them. He turned to his kid, and said, out loud, "Looks like we can't steal anything today, the lady's watching us". Clearly, a criminal genius (!)

"Hey volunteer working in a non-profit thrift store where the funds go to charity! I want a discount on these $2 DVDs that are way under full market value!"

Exactly. Some people just confuse the hell out of me. I wouldn't mind half as much, if it wasn't for the fact that, literally right behind the counter, in full view of the shop floor, there's a sign, right there, saying "We are unable to give customer's discounts", yet people still ask. *facepalms*

I work for a politician and we do free tax clinics for low-income people. I literally had someone come into the office five minutes before closing to do her taxes, got super defensive over all the 'personal' questions I had to ask her (like marital status; I'm not trying to be all up in your business, but if you're married only one of y'all get GST), straight-up said 'I don't know' when I asked for a mailing address and to top it off she didn't bring any of her Tslips. It's like... **** off and never come back. You're getting a service that people pay anywhere form $50-150ish bucks for free... why are you trying to make things difficult for me?

Some people just ain't happy unless their either :
a) complaining about stuff they don't need to, or aren't actually mad about, they just want to make a scene,
or
b) making things difficult for people who are just trying to do their jobs. Mankind is a strange creature.

And there those who buy something and whine about the price and then wait till closing time to return it. and when you ask them why are they returning it. they respond by saying that they aren't satisfy with the prices.
and there's also those people who wear a board stating "The customers are always right"

When I applied for my job at Giant, the employer asked 'are you married?' during a face-to-face interview
Didn't expect him to ask me that question but I calmly let him know of me being unmarried
