Minor Annoyance

[crazylegs]

I was at one of my local stores buyin some water before I stood at a fete (worse than death) for a few hours when I noticed this little gem.

SC = well duh!
W1 = Worker 1

SC had brought a suit into be dry cleaned,

W1, What is that is to be dry cleaned?
SC, <melodramatic sigh> a suit
W1, Is that two piece or three?
SC, <snaps> 2!
W1, And your address?
SC, <lung busting sigh> 565656
W1, Your address?
SC, Fine! 123 idiot street
(and so it went on...)

Why, why do you need be so rude and uppity, was that really needed? Did it acomplish anything other than make the shop staff hate your guts and wnat to smack you over the head with the dry cleaning book?

Aye-yi. What is that guy's problem? SERIOUSLY.

SC: I'm going to be an ass so you can feel dumb and I can feel more important!

[Becks]

Sounds like someone ran out of happy pills.

[chinashirtgirl]

What a jerk, I guess life is just to much bother for him since every little thing is such a huge inconvenience. Maybe the drycleaners can just read his mind next time.

[Apathy]

I don't know what this jerk's problem was, but I wouldn't be an ass to people who were going to handle my expensive clothes.
Things might happen. "Oops, we dropped your suit into our large vat of ink."

Exactly. Really, more people have to remember that we of the service industries control a lot more than they think!

Lovely thought, but if my family's laundry is any indication, unlikely. Front desk checks it in and sorts it for teh back. the back will deal with it, and honestly, front won't have time to get back there and tell them about the SC until lunch or shift end. Front won't see it again til bagging if front is slow, or teh SC comes to get it.

NOt to mention that if said laundry is with IFC or some such, they have a garauntee for the work.

The seperation from front to back is why DH is not on here relating stories from when he worked wet and/or dry side for the family business (not to mention I'm not sure where the goatskin jacket lawsuit is in the courts, other than I hope it's done).

Oooh, this just begs for an explanation.

And any reputable business would never intentionally damage a person's clothing, but why tempt fate? It amazes me how many people are rude to service industry workers that are responsible for fixing your car, cleaning your clothes, serving your food, etc. Anger the wrong person and bad things can happen.

The food industry gets away with it, though. It's not normally detected by the SC when there's spit mixed in~
