Words Customers Use

"Wise man say, forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for cold pizza."

An old reference, but a good one

A turtle reference!!

Ridiculous! (They hear something they don't want to hear, so they call it ridiculous.)

I prefer Adam Carolla's "Ricockulous!" It sounds much more indignant.

I can't think of any more that weren't covered in the first few posts, besides the fact that my customers like to make up names for our products, which isn't sucky, just annoying. Like no one can order a burger with spinach on it without calling it a "Popeye Burger," and people can't order a strawberry and peanut butter shake without calling it a peanut butter jelly shake. They also keep saying they want a "value meal," even though those words appear nowhere on our menu and everything is a la carte anyway.

"You should know me by now!"

I've got the worst memory of all time. I will not be able to remember your face, your name, your order, or anything you said no matter how many times I see you. I'm sorry if that makes you feel insignificant.

You know what?!!

"Nope, never met him!"

That usually makes them stop and think!

Or even better.... "Redikulas!" *Waves wand, sees Snape in old lady clothes*

Some things I hate to hear and some with how I wish I could respond:

"but I'm such a good customer" -never uttered by ACTUAL good customers....only by total cheapskates that never spent a dime in your store before.

And the reason for that is the ACTUAL good customers know the policies of the store, and what to expect, and wouldn't ask for things they know they won't/shouldn't get. I hate that so much. We have regular customers, who are a joy to help, but its always the whiny ones, we've never seen before who seem to think that just by saying that, they will get what they want.

I get the "I didn't get a bill" crowd as well. Also the calls where the magical porn genie snuck in their house and loaded their bill with pay-per-view adult movies because "No one in my house watches that stuff!". Well maybe they don't watch it but they sure as hell ordered it.

Oh, don't even start me on that one. When I was working for Adelphia, I dealt with the customers who would always claim that their child ordered those 57 porn movies and they didn't watch them. The ones who always had notes on blocking out those channels and so on were always the ones who "somehow my child figured out how to unlock it" or "nobody at your company cares about securing an account, do they?"

And, I like I said before, I have fallen into the "I didn't get a bill" crowd, too, but I've usually waited a month before calling someone. Anymore, most of my bills are on line anyway, and I have the sites bookmarked.

Me too...there have been a couple of times i never got a bill, and called. Mix-ups due to address changes, and i just said, tell me where to send my payment, and if i was late, the charges were alwasy waived (utilities mostly).

My dad was lucky; shortly after they moved he realized he hadn't gotten his bill for his gas credit card...so he called. found out that a. someone added a third card to the account - NOT authorized b. same someone had changed the billing address to Brooklyn, NY (parents live in VA) and c. same someone had charged over 350 in gas. had he not called, who knows how long the fraudulent charges woudl have gone on, as the COMPANY added the third user. Couldn't give a good explanation as to WHO or HOW, so dad cancled the account.

Unacceptable - Favorite word of Sc's when they realize I will not break ballpark policy and sell them more than two beers per person. I personally think its a stupid lawsuit rule that does nothing to really cut down on drinking, but I will not break that stupid rule and get fired.

But you already carded me today - Too bad, so sad. I don't remember every face I see. Now, show me the ID, or leave my stand.

You don't need to see my ID, I'm 32(25, 40, 28...) - If I think you look under 30, I am required to card you. Shut up and be glad you still appear youthful.
However, middle aged women are more likely to tip if carded, so I always card them.

Why didn't you card me(offended) - Because you have wrinkles. Reality check, table one.
