The Most Pointless Complaints EVER!!

[Nakajo]

This happened recently.

I was about 3 weeks into being at the membership desk when I had a member come up to the desk in a RAGE.

"THAT %#&%^ AT THE DOOR DREW A LINE THROUGH MY RECEIPT, I TOLD HER NOT TO, I WANT YOU TO DO SOMETHING!!!"

I work at Costco, they draw lines through your receipt at the door so they won't be reused. It's policy. If you try walking out without showing it, see what happens, I dare you. I informed her of the policy and she yells,

"I TOLD HER NOT TO, I TOLD HER TO PUT IT IN THE BLANK SPOTS SO WE CAN READ IT FOR TAX PURPOSES, SHE WAS RUDE TO ME, etc."

It is ALSO door policy to put that little line through the actual text, because it's much harder to copy and forge a fake duplicate when the line not easily whited-out.

Also, because it's CARBON PAPER, it can be marked with just some pressure, the girl used the dull/non-ink edge of the pen to make a grey line, so it was VERY easy to read it, but still unable to be reused. Also, the girl that did it, she's one of my favorite co-workers, a spunky little Chinese lady, wouldn't hurt a fly, but doesn't take &#$* either. She did everything right, and this rude member was spouting that "she doesn't understand English".

But the thing was that the woman was throwing a hissy fit.

Over a line.

One of my sups was down there, and since I was not making a dent in this woman's line beliefs, my sup just said:

"Ok, ma'am, I'll get right on it"

The woman finally left, the sup bursts out laughing, and walks away. My co-worker did get taken care of.... the manager told her congrats on a good job how she prevented a possible fraud.

That rude member still comes in every week.

What a sourpuss!!!

Last night at my favorite watering hole, the bartender misheard "A sprite and a diet sprite" as "A sprite and a jack and sprite".

You can imagine the customers surprise when she sipped that.

I have no idea what her problem was.

She asked for lime and lemonade and they gave her lime and soda...jeez, weren't you listening?!

Can't help but think it would be nice if it kept an eye on how much was remaining and flashed a light when low, you know? I don't doubt the suckiness of the customer in the circumstances, but we can put a man on the moon and even I can navigate around ... part of the country. Sometimes. Shouldn't be impossible to work something out to say when it's out.

Ah, but see, that would make sense...and we all know the rules about making sense...

[RichS]

Screw that. She needs tied to a stake...and having limes and lemons fired at her from a cannon

Didn't I see that on a Sprite commercial once?

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Someone needs to give that lady a lime and lemonade enema.

Magnesium citrate. It's lemon-flavored!

I have a cannon.....

CW: Ok, on your reciept it says you owe money, but just ignore it, it was my mistake and it has been corrected.
SC: I AM NOT PAYING YOU ANOTHER PENNY! DON'T YOU DARE TRY AND RIP ME OFF!

Generally when that happens I just correct the receipt by hand, though I've had customers get upset about that too.

So, like beer and lager, the syrup eventually runs out and needs to be changed, unfortunately, there is no way of knowing when it needs changed until a customer says so.

Lemon lime lady was all set to have a nice long complaint festival and your co-worker goes and takes the wind from her sails by FIXING her problem.

The shock was so much that she got stuck in a loop.

[Kilamon]

Seriously, is there something in your food prep method that's adding stupid to the water supply, oil, or something? I mean, these two are just ... Mental!

[ta2ooed1]

but at least there's lime

[Kusanagi]

You can bet it isn't lemonade syrup.

What the heck are they putting in the water there?

Or is this a small, highly inbred community?
