Suppose the sort-of payback is when someone asks if you can check if there’s any [whatever] out the back because the shelf is empty. Walk into the warehouse, have a chat with a mate for a couple of minutes and go back to the customer ‘No, sorry we’ve not got any in stock’.

Used to hate when people asked me stuff when I worked in Waitrose. We had to walk customers to where stuff was, but I worked on drinks, all I knew was drinks, how the fuck am I meant to know where or what your fuckoff strange named produce a Waitrose customer is shopping for when I work on drinks. Debbie McGee knew the coup, though. She’d only ever ask for help reaching high up drinks, something I actually knew how to do.
These days I know enough about supermarkets to not need to ask, although there are occasions when I need to revise for my shop online before I go to the store.

Got asked where the mustard was when I was walking to the back for my break once, while busting for a shite (obvs), so very politely said “it’s in the mustard aisle” and pointed somewhere.
There’s no mustard aisle.

Used to quite like people asking me when I worked in a supermarket. Bit like a quiz, broke up the day.
You’re all miserable bastards

You ever get the supervisor coming round and quizzing you about loose fruit? Was like, erm, that’s either a very red gala or a very green braeburn, but since you’ve picked one that’s been too mashed up to tell I can’t say for sure.
Think it might be bed time, pal.
i asked tonight but i asked at the till so it would have been too late. they didn’t sell what i wanted anyway. not sure what i’d have done if they did
I have worked in a shop/supermarket and sometimes say light-hearted annoying things like like ‘oh that one must be free ha ha’ when something won’t scan properly just because you can
