Random insult from an SC

[Broomjockey]

Sooo, you had static, pops, and hisses? Because really, that's about the only way it'd sound like a tape recording. Unless you happened to be saying the exact same things, the exact same way, over and over(I've done that at my first job, but you try saying "Theatre X on your *blank* Enjoy the show 300 times in ten minutes, see if you don't fall into a pattern). So really, dealing with a single customer, that's a nonsensical insult at best. What he may have meant was you sounded like a digitally created voice. Which seems a rather cumbersome thing to say. So take comfort in the fact that the guy has no idea what he's talking about, and is a looney.

Maybe I did overreact in my post, but that's better than snapping at him. I guess it's because I never liked my voice, and having a stranger insult it was just rubbing sandpaper on a wound.

I wasn't there for this, but one time my boss made this closing announcement: "Attention customers: Fuck you!"

He thought the place was empty, but one lone guy came out of the back looking a little scared. Luckily for my boss, the guy was amused instead of outraged.

i don't get much comments on my voice, except that i apearantly had a evil laugh...
but i do get comments on my beard, weird comments, often sounding like insults, and people offering to buy me a razor... yes... my beard is long and braided, because i coulden't find a razor this morning...

Some study somewhere found that people with high IQs had a tendancy to appear stern or angry when concentrating on something or being otherwise inactive.

You know, I may have to keep that in mind the next time a customer tells me to cheer up when I'm busy at work. Really, don't pretend to read my mind if you don't know me that well. Also, don't expect me to show teeth because it's a toss up as to whether it looks like a smile or a snarl. Let's face it, those types of people are more likely to provoke the latter anyway.

"Attention Customers, Fuck you!"

It's a funny thought, but I can't believe any place of business would allow an employee to get by with that. Lord knows a lot of customers do deserve just that, though.

I used to work as a cashier/carryout at a Red & White Supermarket when I was in high school. I was working checkout one evening, and picked up the intercom receiver to call one of the carryouts to bag a customer's groceries. At the same time, one of the assistant managers came up behind me and poked me in the ribs. It startled me, and I blurted out, "You butthole!" He put his hand over his mouth to stifle his laugh, "That went out over the intercom!" The customer was biting her lip to keep from laughing. I just stood there dumbfounded for a second, and dialed the intercom again. One of the carryouts came up to bag groceries, and he was laughing, "Who said butthole over the intercom?" I never did live that one down the rest of the time I worked there. Luckily, the store manager didn't have much to say about it except to watch what I say in the future.
