A WOMAN who used to work at Boots has revealed it was the "worst time ever", and left her "traumatised". <\/p>\n
Daisy recalled one of the situations she'd dealt with while working at the chemist in a video on her TikTok page. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
In the clip, she pretended to be a customer who had asked to return five boxes of baby milk. <\/p>\n
"I'm absolutely furious," Daisy, as the customer, said. <\/p>\n
"I'm pregnant.<\/p>\n
"My baby isn't born till may, and I got really excited when I found out I was pregnant, and I bought 5 boxes of baby milk,<\/p>\n
"But I've just read that they go out of date in February. <\/p>\n "My baby's not even gonna be born then, so I'm returning all five boxes."<\/p>\n When Daisy told her that she couldn't return the milk, despite having a receipt, the woman said: "These cost me over \u00a370.<\/p>\n "I need my money back because they are literally useless to me."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n When Daisy told her that it was "store policy" not to accept the return of baby milk, she asked to speak to a manager. <\/p>\n But when Daisy went to find her manager, she found that they were in a meeting, which she then told the customer. <\/p>\n When the woman said that she wasn't leaving without a refund, Daisy told her to call the Boots helpline, where she would undoubtedly be told the same thing.<\/p>\n The customer then said once again that she wasn't leaving, at which point Daisy asked her to step aside so she could serve other customers. <\/p>\n "You just said that you're not leaving until you're gonna be returning them, so you're gonna be waiting quite a while," Daisy concluded. <\/p>\n "POV: you worked at Boots and got traumatised," she wrote over the top of the TikTok video. <\/p>\n And she added in the caption: "Worst time ever i highly do not recommend."<\/p>\n "Then the manager comes and refunds it," one person commented on the video. <\/p>\n To which Daisy replied: "I did ask my manager, he said no and for me to deal with the angry woman refusing to leave.<\/p>\n "Employees do the dirty work i guess!"<\/p>\n "Working at boots was the most mentally draining job i've had," another person added. <\/p>\n "I worked in Boots in St Pancras," a third commented. <\/p>\n "Hated when people demanded to find out which and where platform their train is departing from. How would I know?"<\/p>\n "My first day in boots someone was complaining about a fly in their baby milk, they'd clearly just put it in there to get a refund," someone else wrote. <\/p>\n "PHEW i applied for boots yesterday, just seen this video and the comments and got told my application was denied," another comment read. <\/p>\n But someone else argued: "I loved working in boots". <\/p>\n "You\u2019re a minority!" Daisy replied. <\/p>\n<\/picture>NO JOKE <\/span><\/p>\n
