My brain hurts

[customersruinmylife]

Customer comes up to the bar.

SC: I've lost my phone! Has it been handed in?

I looked in the lost property box.

Me: No I'm sorry, no phone has been handed in.
SC: Well where is it then? Check again!

I checked, I asked every member of staff if they had seen the phone, all of them said no.

Me: I'm sorry but nothing has been handed in, and none of the staff have seen it.
SC: Where is it? You must have it!
Me: We don't. But I can take your name and number and I'll call you if anything shows up.
SC: For Gods sake! This is ridiculous! I can't believe you don't know where my phone is!

He writes his number down.

Me: Uhhh...sir?
SC: What?!
Me: The number you have just given me...it isn't the number of the phone you have just lost is it?

It was.

[rerant]

That... wait... ok my brain hurts too.
But mostly because he thought you should know where HIS phone is.

As for giving the cell number to you, he could have intended to check the messages from another phone.
But my money is on him just being a moron.

We have a winner, folks.

Interesting

1) He owns the phone but does not know where it is, but expects people who have no interest in his phone to know it's location. Why expect them to know what he does not know.

2) Giving the number of the lost phone not only is dumb, but clearly shows the thought processes that lead him to losing it in the first place.

3) If he knows his own cell's number why does he not dial it to see if he can hear it (useful is lost in the bedding/closets of a hotel room) or to see if someone did find it and answers.

Another idiot who depends on others to fix their own mistakes.

The problem with this, for me, is my phone is usually on silent or vibrate.

It is worth the try, if found and the person who found it is still carrying around. After all, one call, 25 cents, seems worth the costs/risk.

I really laughed at this one. Mostly because of this guy's flat out refusal to think he had any personal responsibility to find his own phone. Sadly, this situation is not as uncommon as I would like to hope.

Woman goes grocery shopping. Leaves five or six of her bags under the cart in the parking lot and drives away. Shortly thereafter, she comes storming into the store and demands someone find the bags for her. Could she be bothered to look herself? No. Give helpful directions so we know what area of our superstore-size parking lot they might be in? No. Say please? Hell no.

Co-worker R comes back after 10 minutes and tells the woman she can't find her bags. Woman flips out, yelling how it is R's fault the bags were left behind and how R better find them. Note: R didn't even become involved until the woman came back the second time. Even if R checked her out originally, in what way is it R's fault that this stupid woman can't be responsible for her own crap? Anyhoo, coworker K went outside for another looksie and after 20 minutes finally found the cart with the MIA groceries.

Do you think she said thanks? Ah, you people are just too cynical and guessed correctly She ripped the bags out of K's hands and stormed off. After K was outside, in the rain, without a coat in 40F weather. Yeah, whatta jerk.

I think "jerk" is a bit of an understatement ....

Hell, at least the bags were still there. There's several people out there with the "finders keepers" mentality - especially when groceries are involved.

So now, on top of being expected to be able to change policy, the law, and reality itself, as well as being expected to pull nonexistent merchandise out of our asses, now we also have to keep track of their personal belongings?

Times like this remind me why I got out of retail almost 20 years ago.

I'm sorry, but only lolcats can express my feelings about this idiot:



This guy is obviously paddling in the shallow end of the gene pool. -.- Did anyone ever find his phone, by the way?

I think the chlorine was a little too diluted.

You do that, too, huh? All my ringtones suck and I just never got around to buying me some good ones.

But... but... that ones from icanhascheezburger, not lolcats. And it looks like the kitteh should be saying "Kaaaahn!" anyway.
