You HAVE to drive me home!!

[customersruinmylife]

I remember one... it might have been another customersruinmylife story, actually... someone at the bar had left a bag in their taxi and was demanding that the bartender call the taxi company because the SC couldn't be bothered to do it.

Yep! That was me!

I would've been so tempted to take him up on the offer, and then drop him off at the wrong house, like maybe his boss' front yard?

We so need a like button . . . .

"I'm the customer! You HAVE to!"

WTF? First off, once the bar is closed, you're not a customer anymore, you're a trespasser! Second, it says "Pub" or "Bar" not "taxi service." Third - FUCK NO!!

We get the occasional "customer" at my pizza place like this.

They will come in and try to order delivery for a later time THEN say "WELL since you're going that way why don't I get a ride from the delivery driver."

NOT happening for a variety of reasons --- all not in the good category.

I usually site the Nameless Faceless Authority in situations like that. Such as "I'm sorry, but our insurance won't allow that, but I can call you a cab." The hotel has an auto-booking number for cabs, but another business could probably keep the business card of the local cab company around. Won't stop true SCs but a lot of time giving options is one way to de-escalate situations. Tell them what you CAN do, not just what you CANT.

Wasn't this one of those ill-advised 'life hacks' someone posted about a few months ago?

[An Haddock]

Yep! That was me!

How you haven't murdered a customer by now with a hammer I will never know. You're a stronger person than I am.

Yes, this one.

Well for one thing, it's illegal

It's only a momentary pleasure and bound to get you talked about. (L. Long)

Hammer is too obvious, and connects the killer and victim too closely. If the police suspect that a death is murder, the case is already 90% lost.

True, one wouldn't want to be too obvious.

And besides, we aren't supposed to condone that type of behavior here. *winkwinknudgenudge*

CRML works at a place where people willingly ingest strongly flavoured substances prepared by someone other than themselves.

This presents many, many possibilities.....


None of which, of course, we condone. But it's nice to dream, right?

This is somewhat similar:

Years ago I was at the local casino late night (close to midnight). All the players were very friendly mainly because we were all winning. Then we stopped winning and started losing. (This always happens) I did what all cheap gamblers do - reduced my bet and did not give very much back. Another player increased his bet every loss until he had no chips left. This happened very quickly.

Then he got more money out and put it all down and lost it. He stood up and said,

"Well that's all my money, looks like I'm walking home."
The player next to him said,
"Where's home?"
"Green Hills" (About 20 Km or 12.5 miles from the casino)

This player picked up about $10 from his stack and handed it to the broke player. He looked at the chips and put them both on the table and lost them.

"Now I really am walking home."
"Yep"
