No im sorry it has to be Tesco Shopworkers
As a uni student i am blessed with a Job at my local Tesco. As a till operator / customer service assistant I am allowed to be the most petty minded person in the world.

A woman, who is obviously just scrapeing by on the money she has, and trying to feed her family. she was 5p short for a her shopping. I told her she could take items off, but she didn't want too, so i made her go home for 5p before she could take the shopping home (company policy) surprisingly no one in the q offered 5p - so im not the only tight arse.

Someone asks you a question if you know the answer or not - send them to customer services.

If someone complains about you - state they threatened to hit you, or were shouting abuse at you.
Don't like the look of someone? Tell security you think you saw them hiding stuff under their clothes.

The worst thing though you customers do is the something for nothing. Loads of people have realised if you find the right idiot you can get any coupon you want discounted from your shopping regardless of whether you have brought the item or not . . . Not with me - i had a 20 minute argument with someone trying to save 20p on some uttlerly butterly. The Manager was called and everything... but the bastard never got his 20p - he had to pay the full 68p.
