What's a TDI?

May the next driver she pulls that on be driving a TDI.

Wow, third time and she's still working there? What's the hiring criteria - not currently stabbing interviewer in the eyeball, you'll do!

[Mr Hero]

This hotel employee made me cringe at how poorly she handled things.

Don't try to rip off the cab driver, son.

(This is fairly local to me. Prescott is about a 100-mile drive from my front door.)

I've had this happen so many times it's not even funny. "I don't want to spend money to get to the bank!" Then the meter stays on and running until you get payment figured out. If we have to involve the police, you can expect to wait 2-3 hours at $0.50/minute -- is it really worth a $100 wait, followed by an arrest and/or the police forcing you to pay me -- instead of a $5 trip to the bank? Or... are you just trying to completely avoid paying me? Because, let's not forget, I picked you up at your house/work/doctor's office/etc.

Of course, sometimes it turns into something worth posting here.

(The ones that don't intend to pay at all don't even bother acting like they're going to, they just get out and run.)

Kinda reminds me of a scene from Clerks...

Doesn't surprise me. I posted the same rant on Facebook and my brother posted a clip from the movie with the montage of idiot customers.

By "scene," you mean most of the movie? Almost every customer that Dante had to deal with came in the door and asked "Are you open?"

Despite walking past the huge sign he'd made that read "Yes, I Assure You We Are Open."

Last week we were completely sold out. I had a sign up indicating as such. And yet still people would come in, stand right in front of the sign and ask if we had any rooms available. Passive Aggressive Hero would start gesturing towards the sign while apologizing that we were sold out.

To be honest, yes, we mock customers who do that.

We get marked on speed of service, so if you don't know what you want/can't find what you want, it's better for us employees if you come in, stand to the side, figure everything out and then get ready to order.

Sorry.

When I worked at King of Burgers, I would have loved if they had an outside "pre-menu". Because our timer started as soon as people pulled up to the speaker box. And sometimes people would sit there for a minute or so before they actually decided.

Working at that place made it where I'd actually avoid the drive thru for the longest time. I hated working drive thru that much.

Why the fuck is this on Not Always Hopeless? This was terrible and unprofessional!

If that was me, it would guarantee that I never came back to that place!

Sarcasm doesn't seem to register with this lady.

Heeeeeeere's your sign.

Good to know. More reason for me to not eat fast food.

[Becks]

That means I get made fun of?
