When I put my 2 weeks in at Awful-mart, everytime someone would say that (and it happened quite often in that short 2 week period), I would usually just say 'OK, see you tomorrow!'

Have you ever verbally retorted "I'm never shopping here again!!"

Quoth eltf177 View PostAccording to that story L was banhammered. So why would he even be allowed back? Also, did he ever get nailed for the fraudulent 1040's he filed last year?I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

Quoth taxguykarl View PostL was banned...but that didn't stop him from trying I can't help but wonder if he was already banned at our competitors.suckerhelpful soul. And you have to figure the banhammer eventually fell everywhere else as well...

Quoth Swordsman422 View PostAnd Aria, I feel your pain with Rural types. The store was located in a blue-collar town that relied mainly on construction businesses for its economy. Some of my very old stories involve the "folks" who live around here and their antics. I am lucky enough now that I almost never have to deal directly with customers anymore. When I hear about the sucky ones, they are always someone else's problem.
I'm kinda-sorta rural...I don't think the town I live in has a small enough population to be considered "rural", but we are about half an hour/30 miles outside of a major metro. A lot of "blue collar", restaurant, and retail (grocery, big box) work around here.Skilled programmers aren't cheap. Cheap programmers aren't skilled.

Quoth mjr View PostWhat's wrong with rural types??
I very rarely get something similar. There aren't too many fabric stores left, and we are the biggest in town. The only other places are small quilt shops and I think Mal-Wart has fabric. Anyway, there are some who will basically say that they are forced to shop at our store, even though they hate it. Yeah, thanks so much for whining at me, because I really want to hear it. Also, I can totally make all the decisions about staffing and signage, which are the most common complaints. And when someone comes in already pissed off, then they can ruin other people's moods as well. So it's a fail all around.Replace anger management with stupidity management.

You forgot, "Hey, HOLD MY BAER (Beer)," is always uttered when Bubba Sue has to prove Jimmy Jane is wrong about how to light the bonfire/fix the truck/gate/outhouse... seriously. I'm not as rural as I use to be, but still...If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.

Back in the Hut of Pizza Days (Before the White Man came and covered our land in asphalt and malls) we had a couple who came in who were...awful.
Mean. Petty. Spiteful.
It was a major victory to get one of my teenagers to burst into tears.
And nearly every time they would threaten, "We'll never come back!" when they didn't get their way over some petty point.
So one day, after telling me, "We're never coming back!" as I was throwing them out, they came back!
To give us the "chance" to "make things right" for them.
Well, "Heather" was not having that!
"YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T COMING BACK!" she shouted.
They tried fumfuhing some crap about "giving you a chan..."
"NO!" Heather stomped her foot, "DAMMIT! YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T COMING BACK!"
The look on their faces as they realized that we valued their absence above their money was sweet.
I liked Heather.I have a map of the world. It's actual size.

Ever been tempted, when a store (especially if it's the whole chain) is going out of business, as you walk out with your purchases 5 minutes before closing time on the final day, to say "I'm never shopping here again!"?Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

I've had people do that on the phone. Then they call back half an hour later. I pretend I never talked to them in the first place, unless I'm feeling evil, then I'll remind them they called earlier. It's fun.
I had a manager once who told horrible people that "we don't need your business that bad."
My "favorite" thing is when callers tell me that "craigslist worked really well for me." My response to that is, "And yet you're placing an ad with us."When you start at zero, everything's progress.
