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*
