Bored/embarrassed/ fed up of your thread?

[boo]

Aren't they just bel? couple that with a lovely sunny day for a change, i bitterly resented being there today. Even the nice ones naffed me off today too. If I heard one more "ooo innit lovely out?" I'd have snapped, seeing as I'd not seen it since 6.15 this morning >

I loved the fact my parents owned a shop , if anyone tried to be an arsehole it was a simple case of the customer not being right ..... * smug grin *

[bel]

Glad to hear its not just our shop that gets emm them

Do your customers just chuck their money at you, and then hold there hand out for the change Cheeky gits i just do the same back and the looks i get is priceless

[boo]

We get some customers who won't even put it in our hands yes, they deposit it on the counter bel, so i do likewise with their change.

To be fair Storm, I have a pretty cool boss who knows that 99% of the time the customer isn't right, and will back us up if they become awkward, ya know the ones, quibbling over 20p, lol.

[bel]

Perhaps we should do a thread Boo, requesting that everyone on here be nice to the girl on the till, after all we have feelings too

This again comes down to the state of modern society , people no longer have any respect of their fellow human beings anymore .. what a sad time we are living in

[beautycat]

I agree storm. I was always taught to treat people the way I wish to be treated and I do

[jerryrm]

I'm very good at shutting down threads too. This should be the last post on this one.

Oh and welcome to the AAE-C, Boo.

Boo, there's a lot of us newbies here, I felt like that before too, but they haven't kicked me out yet...so....
Know what you mean about customers, I work on the phones at a taxi company....and no I can't get you a taxi any earlier "just cos it's you" and you're too lazy to walk around the corner...and my favourite
Me "it's going to be at least an hour at this time of night"
"you're joking"
Yes I am joking, I like telling people it will be an hour, just so that they can abuse me over the telephone....I'm that much of a masochist lol

[boo]

Totally agree bel, im sure most people don't realise, but every customer who doesn't even acknowledge you (too bust yakking on their mobiles) right through to the downright snotty customer makes for a very bad day and could possibly explain why we till girls are usually grumpy- we've been serving gits throughout the day, lol.

And yet, flip side, you get the utter sweethearts who make you think "yeah, my job's not THAT sucky after all", well, until the next arsehole comes along anyway.

I keep saying im gonna write a book about some of the many memorable customers we've had in there- im sure folk just wouldn't believe it!

Anyhow, if nothing else- this threads been cathartic, im not the social leper i thought i was, and its cheered me up slightly too, thanks guys

ellen that for some reason reminds me of a little stunt a mate of mine pulled , don't ask me why .

He went into a kebab shop and asked if they delivered , they said yes of course , he asked for a meal and said can you deliver to XXX address they said yea ok no prob ... he said whilst your at it can you deliver me to that address too .. they agreed If he had gotten a taxi it would have been almost 3 times the price

[boo]

Strange isn't it Jerry?

I mean obviously someone has to be the last person to write on a thread, and the first time you think nothing of it, neither do you the second and third time, but by the fourth you start getting paranoid and discretely sniffing your armpits, lol.

[boo]

Storm, that could turn out to be a fantastic money earner!

A takeaway with a difference, you deliver the nosh and them to an address.

Now, if only I had the finances, the business nounce and could actually cook.....

The customer is never right. And the majority is never right (Ibsen).

Try working with incontinent dementia sufferers in a centrally heated building while the sun is shining outside. Sweating your tits off and having to breathe through your mouth all the time....mind you, I get to vape in the elevator whenever someone from the third floor buzzes for assistance
