Bookstore/Campus store stories

This Asian lady comes into our store about mid July and picks up some books for her course saying its for the summer semester and we think nothing of it. Fast forward to last week and this lady throws a fit about us giving her the wrong books for the course she's taking in the fall semester. We highly advise students to wait until their professors send out a syllabus with required materials so we don't have to deal with people getting the wrong text book. In the end it was too late and we couldn't issue a refund for this lady but she ended up buying the right book for class.

This one was a cute and funny thing that happened in store. Mom was in a hurry to buy her books and she let her 3 year old son wonder the aisles for a snack. Little kid didn't get memo and ran out the store with his arms full of bags m&ms. My shift manager ran after the kid while I rang up the moms stuff and told her it was okay and that she could pay for her kids stash of m&ms.

This one happened right after the first day of class. Most students ran out of their classes to come to the bookstore and buy their first batch of books. So the line was rather long and this elderly lady decided to skip the long line and started yelling at a random girl that my coworker was helping. We were all confused because she kept yelling out " Marie!, Hey Marie! Wait for me, I'm sorry for taking long." This girls name isn't even Marie. Girl says she doesn't know this lady and leaves this lady to fend for herself. Manager comes up and tells to wait in line like the rest. Elderly lady doesn't comply and leaves, she came back 3 hours later with her daughter.

So again the line was long again and this new batch of students came in with headphones on. Had to yell at the top of my lungs saying "NEXT IN LINE!" OR "NEXT GUEST" OR "SIR" OR "MAM" OR "COME ON". By the time my shift ended my voice sounded raw and I didn't speak a word to anyone when I left.

Guys don't do this shit, it very annoying at times when there's a huge line of students. We recommend you to at least know what course you're taking or at least have your course schedule. We are glad to help you find the item you are looking for but don't stand in line and waste time just to see if its the right book for you're course. If you guys want to know which book he got it was a understanding arts book and his course was biology.

Manager is in charge of the music we play in store, but corporate sends us a monthly playlist to play in store. Most of the songs are just remixed and sometimes are too catchy you find yourself singing along after a long shift.
