    In which no one sides with the SC. *short*

    We have a take a ticket dispenser. Today, instead of pulling a ticket from the dispenser, a lady took one from the counter near the dispenser. CW calls the next number, lady waits about ten seconds, then holds up her number and says "what happened to number 34?" CW, and the other customers who were waiting told her that 34 was already helped. She loudly exclaims, "but I got the number from here!" and points at the counter. (we're supposed to throw the old numbers away, but we're not perfect)

    None of the customers showed even an ounce of sympathy. The lady who had 35 did NOT offer to let the other woman go ahead. SC says "so I have to go to the back of the line?!" CW, and other customers nod. She does, and stopped complaining.

    Similar thing happened on facebook.

    A woman was complaining that the police gave her a ticket for not wearing a seat-belt (dont they have something better to do?). One person sided with her, 30 commented that National seat-belt-week was this week, and that in fact giving people tickets for being reckless by not wearing their seat-belts was their job.

    I honestly think that most people are smart. They are just quiet and do not speak up as much as they should.

    What? You don't play with flamethrowers on the weekends? You are strange.

      We had one on {local auction site messageboard}.

      Where I live we have SUPER strict biosecurity laws. They police the heck out of it (theres even a tv show just following people looking for food coming in).

      Person on MB goes on a rant 'I brought an NZ apple, went to Australia, forgot to eat it and left it in my bag. They found it and fined me $400.00 for not declaring food - its an NZ apple WAGLEBARGLE'.

      Ever single person in the threat basically said 'sod off, there are huge signs saying ANY food must be declared. You messed up, pay the fine and suck it up.

        I knew Australia was strict on plants/plant matter (because of research). How do you miss a sign that's right there?

        Also, NZ isn't Australia. Different places, different rules.

        Edit: Was not reading well. Still she should have paid attention to the sign.

          I saw a similar thing on Facebook. This woman came to a supermarket and, cuz there were no "parent and child" spots free, parked in the disabled area instead. She got a ticket and bitched about it on Facebook. No-one took her side; people were pointing out that being a parent is not a disability and she can stand to walk a few extra feet, while someone who's in a wheelchair needs the disabled parking.
          People who don't like cats were probably mice in an earlier life.

            Reminded me of this: http://www.fmylife.com/tops/flop

            I love that site, those just happen to be the people who deserved it.

              That's one reason I am super careful about taking customer's numbers when I'm at the cutting counter. If they ask, I tell them it's because they otherwise end up all over the store, which is also true. But it also prevents line-cutting like the jerk in the OP.

              I wish my coworkers would do the same. I'm always finding numbers in the shopping carts, all over the shelves, basically everywhere except the trash cans.

              Had a funny one the other day. Several people were standing around the cutting counter, waiting their turn. One man complained that he'd been waiting forever and didn't know he was supposed to take a ticket. He pointed over the counter and snarled, "They should put a sign up right...oh." Because right then, he saw the very large and highly visible "Now Serving #" sign he was pointing at!

                I'd say he pwned himself right nicely there.

                Not to mention he's not very adept at managing time . . . I mean if he had been waiting "forever", he'd have noticed the take-a-ticket machine and the Now Serving screen as he was letting his eyes wander all over the store.

                Or am I the only one who does that when in unfamiliar territory? I'm scanning around taking in the lay of the land so I can figure out where I need to be.

                  Exactly! When I'm unsure if I'm in the right place I just ask someone. I'm not one to randomly start conversations, but I also don't like wasting my time. So I'll ask "is this the end of the line?" or "are you waiting?" it's really easy.

                  xCashier, I doubt most of my CWs even think about throwing the numbers away. I don't mean to trash talk them too much, but some really irritate me, and I feel like the bad guy because I'm always on them about something or another. But I don't like being yelled at for something a CW did wrong. In this case the customer had a home dec roll, so the CW immediately went to the roller and so the customer just left the number on the counter.
