Maybe you guys need to create a system. Why ask a customer for their name when they put things on hold then? How is a customer supposed to know you just started your shift?


I understand some of you guys have legitimate annoying pet peeves but some are just lazy about their job.
Or people could just describe the item, so that I can find it. Maybe it's just me but I would just go "Hi, I put a blue dress on hold for Jessica." I have to pull the information out of some people piece by piece. There are people waiting in line behind you and things would go a lot faster for yourself and others if you just communicate what you need from me. Nothing lazy about it.


ITA agree with Camille. It takes what, maybe 20 seconds to ask a follow up question or two? This is what we're paid for. People aren't mindreaders, and most aren't automatically going to volunteer all the information you need in their first sentence, because: (1) they probably don't want to bombard you, and (2) they don't know exactly what you need. Kinda like how when I order food and the person answers the phone, the first thing I say is that I want to place an order for delivery, not my name, address and entire order.


I agree with Camille and WarmFuzzies. This one is weird If I put something on hold, or reserved a table, I'm pretty sure I would use both of the sentences Samantha used as examples. Then a normal employee would say, "Sure, what did you put on hold?" or "Okay, what name is the table under?" If that's enough of a pet peeve to bring it up as your first example, you need a new job.
