A smack my head moment

I worked at Kroger and I had pretty awesome customers. Wasn't too bad. No one gave me a hard time and I always tried to be patient if they were upset or having a tough day. You never know what someone is going through. Well that was until this lady asked me for "gluten-free water" one day. I swear to GOD she asked me this!!! I told her that water doesn't contain any gluten and she shouldn't worry. So she says that the other store always has the one she wants and gets aggravated with me. I ask her what brand of water she needed that the competitor sold, but she couldn't remember. I recommended a few water brands that I really like and she bought those. I just tried to help her out.

Floor Superviso at Kroger

Kroger sucks to work for. Crazy schedule and low pay. Terrible management. No HR but a union that is worthless so you are on your own if you have a problem. I was a floor supervisor. Worse job ever

Unfortunately ! You can't make everyone happy, it's hard dealing with the public doing retail because you're going to get good & bad people who will TRY your patience just because they know they can & you can't do what you want. I hope it gets better !. Good Luck ! :)

You handled that situation very well n as someone who has had my fair share of jobs working with people, there's no pleasing everyone but as long as we all do our best, that's what really matters :)

You did the right thing Peter! This lady KNEW what she was talking about. Kudos to you for having patience and honoring her opinion. I know from experience in customer service that is the most difficult thing to do sometimes. Great job!
