How many cliches can you pack into one day?

[edible_hat]

How many sucky customer cliches can you pack into one day? On Wednesday we ran out of petrol, and so we had...

-People ignoring the fact that the price had been taken off the price board.
-And the out of order signs on the pumps.

-People taking out of order signs off the pumps.
-And then complaining about the pump not working.

-People asking "How come there's no price on the board? Does that mean it's free?"
-and getting annoyed when told no

-"But I need petrol! You have to sell it to me!"
-and getting annoyed when told "If you don't have enough to get to the next servo, you'll have to wait for the tanker."

-The race card
-and getting annoyed when told we're also not selling petrol to white people

-accusations that we're just pretending because it was cheap day
-and getting annoyed when told to try it if they don't believe us
-and getting annoyed when, on trying the pump, it runs very very slowly and stops at 20 cents.

-"How can you run out of petrol?"
-and getting annoyed when told a valid, sensible, irrefutable reason

-"Do you have any in the back?"
-and getting annoyed when told no
-demanding we go look anyway, and getting annoyed when told no

-"Are you closing down?"
-and looking disappointed when told no

-and to top it all off, one guy asked three customers if they work there.

How could you have any in the back? Did you forget you had a spare tanker full of fuel behind that hedge?

Yeah, that one's a classic.

I see it all the time with the pop machines and self-scan checkouts. Bathrooms, too.

-"Do you have any in the back?"

Why yes, actually we do. We have a 300,000 gallon storage tank in the back of the store where it can leak toxic, flammable and carcinogenic fumes into the store where the flames from the natural gas-fired grill could cause the store blow up into the biggest fireball this town has ever seen, and/or into the ingredients for the breakfast sausage biscuit you're eating causing you to kill yourself slowly with each bite.

Here's yer sign.

And video games. Even if you put an out of order sticker right accross the coin slots, people will push the coin right through the sticker, then come get you when the game doesn't work--more often than not pointing to the nice, fresh, coin-sized hole in the sticker.

bwahahaha! That is one of the funnier things I've read.

Yes. You can have all the gas you can get out out the pump today for free.

Ya know any other board but CS and I wouldn't have believed it. However, knowing the stories I've read in the past, it just has me shaking my head at how sad some of humanity is.

Thank the maker for the weekend?

Lucky me, the bottle shop I stopped at on the way home today just started stocking Three Oaks Cider, and have the four packs on special. Having never tried it before, I got one pack of each kind.

It's sweeter than Strongbow (which is the main cider brand around here). The "original" version tastes like Strongbow sweet, and the sweet version is even sweeter than that. So my fiance can finish off the sweet version and I'll drink the original unless I get around to buying something else.

I love the Secret Passages. They take you to the place you hide all the stuff you don't want your customers having;
-Petrol
-Food
-Spare Change
-Working Bathrooms
-That place where you hide out on customers so that you can play foosball instead of dealing with them. You can always tell them "I was scrubbing toilets in the basement" You'll both know the truth.
