This I don't get. A woman rang up to complain that she'd come into the petrol station and asked for help to use the air pump, and every single person working there refused to help her. She demanded a manager call her back, or else she's taking it to the press. Only problem with that is... her complaint doesn't exist. You see, I was working on the day in question and so was my manager, and neither of us can even remember her. O_o Either the customer is mixing us up with another petrol station, is making shit up to get free stuff, or is in the throes of advanced madness. So basically, we're ignoring it. I doubt the local paper will be interested in the insane babblings of a woman convinced that an event happened when it didn't.

I get the feeling that when the guy manning the metro desk looks at the caller ID and sees HER number come up, he can only think, "Her again? Why me!" while reaching for that bottle of scotch squirreled away in the bottom drawer.- They say nothing good happens at 2AM, they're right, I happen at 2AM.

Well sure... every single person that she encountered working there -- which equals ZERO workers -- refused to help her. Zero is a number, and, to her, that's somehow enough."For a musician, the SNES sound engine is like using Crayola Crayons.

OR the 'refusal' came in the form of "Certainly, ma'am. Just let me finish ringing up this customer, then I'll be out."Seshat's self-help guide:
1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

Quoth MoonCat View PostThis is the kind of person that reporters tell, "Yes, ma'am, that's very interesting. We'll let you know if we decide to do a story on it." Then they "lose" her phone number.
Seriously, no paper worth anything will even consider that to be newsworthy. You don't like the help (or non-help) you got at a specific business? Don't go back.

At least that's what my chem teachers and professor taught me.
