In anticipation of the New Year holidays, more and more buyers are in stores. And now there are 10 types of buyers, from which even the most persistent sellers begin to twitch their eyes.
10. They are worse than an earthquake
This phrase can often be heard from sellers. At risk are shops with children's toys, stationery, various small goods. A little less often, such cases occur in clothing and shoe stores. Self-service stores are certainly good, but sellers probably don’t think so. After all, buyers in search of the right thing will turn everything upside down: boxes with shoes, clothes, toys.
Particularly unlucky were those sellers who work in the stationery or other small items department. They can be tidied up all day, but there will never be order. "Thrashing" from the bosses, customer dissatisfaction, usually even the calmest people do not stop at such work.
9. Buyers who do not know how to use the bin
Such buyers are also missing. Vendors constantly find on the shelves coffee cups, empty bottles and other items, which are located in the bin. Perhaps these people are poorly educated, how else can their behavior be explained? They do not think that it is very unpleasant for sellers to remove garbage, they only think about themselves. What can I say? People without a twinge of conscience throw out pieces of paper, tickets, packaging on the street. Not surprisingly, they behave exactly the same in a store.
8. They bring damage to the store.
Yes, yes, this is also about buyers. Have you ever seen sausage left in the household chemistry department? And the apple pie in the cookware department? Very often people choose a product, but on the way to the checkout they decide not to take it. It may be embarrassing for them to abandon the product at the checkout or be too lazy to go back, but most buyers will leave the product where this thought visits them.
Salads, sausages, chilled meat and fish, pastries are perishable products. If you leave them in the evening, the likelihood that other sellers will find them is negligible. Most likely, the product will go bad. It will have to be written off or “hanged” on sellers. Someone may even try to sell it again. Would you like to enjoy a sausage that has been lying next to laundry detergents all night?
7. Lovers of baskets and carts
Some shoppers like to carry a shopping cart or even drive a cart. It is not clear what goals they are pursuing, why these objects are for them. Only one thought may arise: they open their store. An adequate person will not walk down the street with a basket from the store. Although they can often be seen on bicycles, carts are used in cottages. However, buyers do not think that this is theft. Representatives of the store can call the police, now all supermarkets are equipped with video surveillance. Petty hooliganism can turn into a real criminal term, a rather big fine, or correctional labor. In this case, "the client is not always right."
6. Lovers feast on a freebie
This also happens very often. Open water bottles, of which someone already drank, half-empty packaging. People can be understood if they are starving, but judging by the selected foods, they just decided to treat themselves. Chips, nuts, chocolate, expensive carbonated drinks. Moreover, to trace such buyers is almost impossible. They can walk around the store and eat, answering all questions that they will definitely pay for the goods. But on the way to the checkout, he is lost. Sellers do not like such buyers. Do you know what they are doing with such packages? If the product is suitable for further use, it will simply be returned to its original form and sold to another buyer. If you do this, you will definitely come across a product that someone has already tried.
5. Lovers of free cosmetics
Okay, the products can somehow be understood, but buyers are also trying to try personal hygiene products and cosmetics. Many succeed. Deodorants, creams, intimate hygiene products, lipsticks - everything you can open. By the way, it’s very convenient, you can not buy anything, but just go to the store. Of course, this is a joke. Sellers, and other buyers, are simply not able to understand what drives people when they do such strange things.
4. Tired Buyers
When the buyer gets tired, he wants to relax. It is a pity that the supermarkets are not equipped with recreation areas, but buyers will cope and find a place to sit down. Some are not shy and sit right on the shelves, some use food boxes or stools, with which sellers reach the upper shelves. If adults allow themselves to do this, there is nothing to talk about children. Loving parents will put their child at least on the counter with cakes, if only the child did not cry. If the seller tries to say something, a stream of abuse will fall upon him. Of course, if the buyer is tired, why should he not sit on the products?
3. Crazy hands
Admit it, you probably came up with the idea of checking the freshness of the goods. Pre-packaged marshmallows, cookies, Viennese waffles. Most buyers just pick and poke a finger. Especially often from "crazy hands" marshmallow suffers. A lot of "worn" packages, crumpled goods, torn film. Women sacrifice their chic manicure. All in order to find out if their seller is cheating or not. Buyers simply do not trust the information that is presented on the package. Unfortunately, the sellers themselves are to blame. Often, a product that is packaged yesterday is hard as stone.
2. Strange buyers
A large number of people visit stores, and not all of them are "friends with the head." Many of the tricks of buyers defy any explanation. They can open the nail polish, turn it over. Someone is reviewing weight candies, as if they are somewhat different. There are really unpleasant cases when mentally ill people come to the store. They are not to blame for anything, but few people know how to behave with them. Sellers need to keep this in mind and be prepared for anything.
1. Buyers provoked by sellers themselves
Sellers and buyers "on opposite sides of the barricades." They will always be unhappy with each other, although the buyer will not be able to without the seller and vice versa. Therefore, buyers can also say that the seller provokes them. In one supermarket, customers were offered to check which filler suits them. Pretty weird suggestion. We do not know whether someone agreed to test it from our own experience, we know something else. People need to learn to behave themselves, to respect other people's work, and sellers, in turn, should be friendlier and more tolerant of buyers' oddities.
