    Customer broke equipment

    I wasn't at work yesterday, but my co-workers told me this. One of my fellow cashiers was ringing up a black guy who had an XM radio. As all of you know, when you ring it up (at least at BB) you have to fill out the subscription information while you're there. Most people have no problem waiting, but this white guy decided that the black guy was taking WAY TOO LONG and started bitching and pissing. He began ranting and raving and the MOD came out to see what was going on (all my managers except 2 are black females....the other 2 are white females). They tried to calm him down to no avail, but life went on.

    He finally got up to a register (still angry about the new XM customer). Now here I have to note that our signature pads are wonky (due to use, abuse, and misuse). 2 in particular don't register numbers very well at all (for example, type in '1' and it might come up as '4'). So after he got his total and the guy scanned his debit card, he tried to enter his PIN. Lo and behold, it didn't work. So what does our gentle customer do?

    HE PUNCHED THE SIGNATURE PAD AND BROKE IT. He shattered the glass. And then he walks out. My coworkers call the GM and LP and they follow the guy out the door. They were thinking they'd press charges, make him pay for it, or at least ban him from the store temporarily...ya know...SOME kinda punishent. Ya know what they did?

    ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! NOT A DAMN THING!

    They asked the guy why he did it, and he said "I was frustrated for having to wait so long."

    *sigh*...Customer Service can REALLY suck sometimes. Glad I wasn't there!

    Holy shit and I thought that I was an impatient prick with some anger management issues. I've got nothing on that assclown.

    P.S. You may want to think about removing the references to race, it doesn't change the story either way unless someone tried to pull the R-Card. I personally prefer to classify people according to stupidity factor ie. you have assclowns, fartknockers, douchebags, and as someone trademarked yesterday fucktrumpets.

      You forgot asshat, which is my personal favorite. But I think I might steal fucktrumpet from you, because that word is just awesome.

      And holy crap, talk about needing anger management. That's completely and utterly out of line.

        The reason I mentioned race in this story was that the guy was apparently making racist comments and "Didn't want to wait behind a 'n-word'." I probably should have mentioned that, but I wasn't there and didn't know EXACTLY what was said.

          Yeah, we normally prefer that race is left out unless it's a factor in the story, and in this case, when I read it, I guess, because of the way you told the story, I was able to read between the lines, and I kind of figured the reason you mentioned race was because it was a relevant detail.

          For future reference, though, if mentioning race as part of the story, try to remember to include the reason why you are doing so.

            I'm stealing "fucktrumpet" too. I could say it over and over again for no good reason just because it sounds so cool.

            Fucktrumpet fucktrumpet fucktrumpet.

              Don't forget 'slackwit' and 'farkwit' as well.



              So, did the guy just leave the store without his purchase as well? I hope he felt like an ass breaking something like that . . . it's a stupid reason to punch something (luckily it was a signature pad), I'm sure plenty of people have gotten impatient before waiting in line . . .

                I think we might need another sticky thread for all these names.

                And mine some of Gravekeeper's posts...he usually comes up with some good ones

                my personal favorite is also asshat...I don't know about fucktrumpet...it takes a lot for me to use the F word (at least where anyone can hear me)

                  Yeah . . . where's GK when you need him? I'm sure he probably has a long list of names by now . . .

                    Now I want someone to really piss me off so I can call them a fucktrumpet.

                    Though I seriously doubt I'll be able to say it without busting out laughing before I finish.

                    On one of the SCA forums I'm on, we had a favorite thread that was just like you say: a repository for creative swears such as these. It was moderated by a Tuchuck (and they tend to be a bit on the...boisterous...side) so let me tell you it was a lively thread.

                      The general list of terms I use will depend entirely on how harshly I will be moderated for using them.... >.>

                        I've dealt with many little fucksticks in my time. Along with a number of Captain Dammits and Shitcockers.

                          Fucktard is my current fave. Though someone decribed themself as a technotard the other day which is good too.

                            I cracked everyone up over there with my use of "shitbird". I was suprised no one had heard of that, I didn't make it up. Must be a southern thing.

                              We took my MIL's roomate to a dodger game with us a couple of weeks ago and actually taught her to say fucktard, she had never heard it before and loved it. Imagine a 50+ yearold grandma-ish woman saying fucktard and laughing hystarically about it. It was a beautiful site.

                              My old boss used to call one of our more crooked copier salesman a shitbird, the funniest part was my boss was in his seventies at the time.
