Your worst...

[Unzumi]

Jobs and/or irrate customers EVAR! Considering I'm bored off my butt here at work and can only get online through a roundabout way on the motel computers (and not my own, g'durn it), I figured I'd vent just a teeny bit.

Today, for instance, I get a call from room 227 that went:

227: "Hey, what's up with the hot water?"
Me: "I don't know. Is there a problem?"
227: "Yeah, there isn't any."
Me: "Well, a guy from the gas company was just here and said that he had fixed the problem, but I can give him a call and see what's happening. If he can't do anything else to fix it, then I'm sorry but you'll have to wait until Monday when Richard (the owner {hehe, the board changed the short version of Richard to "thingy" *snick*}) and the matinence crew gets back."

*silence*

227: "So, you're saying I'm going to have to go without hot water until tomorrow? I mean, what the hell is that. You guys are a motel, isn't that what you're supposed to be about?"
Me: "Well, I'm sorry but there isn't a matinence crew on the weekends, I'm the only one here, and I don't know the first thing about fixing gas/water pipes. But, I'm going to get in touch with Palmer gas and see if I can speak to the guy that was just here."

*silence*

227: "Well, you'd better get on it."

*twitch* o.o; There is a limit to my patience, and if this guy calls me again I can probably garuntee that he won't have any manhood left after I'm through beating him.

Not to mention all the pet peeves I had when I worked in a grocery store, a few being: talking on the cell phone while in the line, wholly ignoring the cashier, asking for $100 cash back and refusing a $100 dollar bill, waiting until the order is finished to begin writing out a check, NOT PAYING ATTENTION, pissing at the cashier because you don't like how the store is rearranged instead of taking it to a manager, throwing your crap on the belt, not taking your crap OUT OF THE BASKET and putting the basket on the belt, hawkeying the cashier's screen and pouncing on them the moment they double ring (trust me, they can here their own ring and know whether or not they've done so), throwing/leaving your receipt, not bothering to say thank you...

*breathe*

And that's my short list! *beam*

I worked at Sonic for a while. Once, this woman came in and complained that her onion rings were TOO HOT, and asked if she could have some fries instead.

..


While working at Zaxby's, I once encountered a man that refused to touch his money/tray/food while I was still touching it.

..?!!

And there was this woman that would come in every other day, get the SAME THING every time, and complain about the price. Well, yeah, the price is gonna be a little dodgy when you're ordering INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN NUGGETS with a KIDDY DRINK.

Had an old dude complain once 'cause all we had was hotwings and fingers, and he wanted fried chicken. Hello! How about the 20 KFC's and Church's and Popeye's scattered all over town!

And then there were always the customers who would come to the store every day and complain about stupid crap just to make your job that much harder..

Wow, venting's fun. I could go on and on, but I think I'm gonna go punch a wall now. ^_^

Dude, I wish there was a Sonic around here. They advertise for the most awesomest ice cream stuffs *drool*

[sytobi]

<3 their mozerella sticks. My favorite breakfast.

[sytobi]

Oh and btw Sonic = awesome money. Minimum wage and tips, might not sound like much, but when you take into account the fact that most waitors only make 2-something and tips, it isn't bad. Too bad it gets so hot around here. >_>

dude. Go over to livejournal.com/~customers_suck -- it's a fabulous lj. There's also livejournal.com/~bad_service, which is just as fun.

Ok. I work at a zoo in retail, and one thing I do is I man the panning station-- it's like, you buy a bag of sand with various rough precious/semi-precious stones in, and you dump it in a sieve and shake it back and forth in water so the sand runs out through little holes in the bottom and you're left with just the gemstones. Which is almost verbatim what I say to people. Except very high-pitched (my customer service skills seem to involve talking to people in my you're-five pitch, though not tone, because my first job was working with kids XD) and with awkward gesticulations.

Anyway, I had this toy frog that squirted water and I was goofing around with it while a family-- couple'a college-age girls, their mom, and a toddler-- were panning. And the toddler was gaping cutely at the water so I gave her the toy to play with. All was fine and dandy-- her sister came over and was showing her how to do it and then wandered off with it, and the kid. So I waslike, 'um miss, I need that back!' a couple times, and she came over to give it back to me while the rest of the family sniggered.

Me: omg. -.- (It was about 4:00, 4:30, hot, I'd been outside all gfhgfhj day, wtf, don't laugh at me.)

So I took it back and the kid starts to get upset, and I hear the mum start to get kinda pissy like, 'omg why'd she give it to the kid to play with if she wanted it back?!' And I was like, 'o no you just did NOT', and I go over to her all like, 'uuum, well, I'm sorry, I just wanted t ogive her something to play with cuz she looked bored.' And the mom was like, kinda snippy, 'well you should have known she'd be upset when she had to give it BACK.' And I was like, 'Err, well, I'm sorry. o.o I just wanted to give her something to PLAY with,' and she's all, 'hmmph, do you have kids?' And I'm like, 'No but I have a younger sister,' and she's all, 'but no kids-- I can tell.'

And I'm just like, omg don't make me scream at you. I was so mad. x.x The zoo is, yes, a place to take your kids, but we are not a frigging babysitting service, and maybe you should, you know, have watched your kid and advised me not to GIVE IT TO HER if she was gonna act like that, as you seemed unsurprised to see. BLAH.

Wow that got long. XD I guess it's not so bad, but I was pretty upset about it (I am thin-skinned yay!) and felt very raaaaah.

[Unzumi]

I hate parents who let their kids run the program.

[Pallu]

yes.

[sytobi]

OMG you have no kids, you CRIMINAL.

[Unzumi]

I'm not going to have children at 20

And besides, kids bug me ^^; I probably won't have any... or, if I do, I'll consult my older sister who's expecting sometime in October. Children = evil.

[sytobi]

Um, dude I was totally being sarcastic. O.o F kids.

[Unzumi]

d**n text! I couldn't tell... obviously ;P

*conks self*

[sytobi]

ahyhahahahahaahaha sorry, I'm sarcastic, like, all the time, so I usually forget that sarcasm doesn't transfer well via text. >_<

[Unzumi]

I always forget that, too I'm such a snot in real life ^^;;
