Just follow the directions I gave you

My store is massive, so I’ll never begrudge a customer for getting turned around.

But please, for the love of God, just follow the instructions I’m giving you.

I just spoke to someone who needed to get to a different department.

This woman gave the customer instructions on how to get to the Home Organization area.

Customer: I’m trying to get to Home Organization for a shelf.

Me: Okay. Just follow this wall back into the plant room and take the shortcut next to the bathrooms.

C: Okay. Did we just miss all the shelves, then?

Me: What do you mean?

C: Well, we saw all of these (holding up photo) in the Showroom, but there wasn’t anything to grab.

She repeated the same instructions to them.

Me: Right. The displays are upstairs. But the takeaway is on this level.

C: Where at?

Me: In Home Organization.

C: How do I get there?

Me: (screaming internally) Just follow this wall back into the plant room and take the shortcut next to the bathrooms.

And it’s one of her pet peeves working in this job.

I have to repeat the very simple instructions I just gave to customers who weren’t paying attention.

At least, I’m almost done for the day.
