If you're stupid and you know it, bitch and whine!
If you're stupid and you know it, bitch and whine!
If you're stupid and you know it
And you really want to show it

OK, now I've firmly entrenched that rhyme into your heads, now for the SC. First tho, a little background information.
If you're stupid...
Over at the petrol station where I work, the following sequence is what you must do whenever you come to buy petrol.
1. Pull up at pump.
2. Get out of car and take hose.
3. Put nozzle in car.
4. Pump desired quantity of petrol.
5. Put hose back and go and pay.
This incredibly dim woman stopped at 3. She just stood there with the nozzle pointing up in the air, next to her car. I saw her doing this and told my collegue not to authorise her pump. SC continued to stand there like a lemon. My collegue, let's call him Jim, then took the tannoy and said, "Will the customer at pump # please put the nozzle in the car so we can authorise it." No response. So Jim tried once more. Again, nothing. By now, there are several customers in the shop laughing at how stupid this woman is. One of said customers goes outside and tells the SC to put the nozzle in the car. She remonstrates with him, but eventually does so. We heave a sigh of relief, thinking that's an end to it. Not so.
... And you know it...
SC comes into the shop eventually to pay for her petrol; and immediately goes into a senseless diatribe against Jim. No, not to Jim altho he certainly is there; she comes to my till and immediately starts shouting, "You should tell your collegue to not be so rude over the tannoy, he should just have come out and explained to me why I should put the nozzle in!" Er lady, he did. And he wasn't rude; he was polite. SC obviously realises just how moronic her actions were, so decided to bluster in a pathetic attempt to cover it up. I just repeated over and over again, "Sorry, but the nozzle has to be in the car before we can authorise the pump," until the SC gives up her blathering, pays and leaves. The end? Nope.
... Bitch and whine!
Around 10 minutes roughly after the exit of SC Nasty But Dim, one of the duty managers comes over to the petrol station. He informs us that the SC complained about Jim, saying he was rude and refused to authorise her pump. By now, my other collegue, who was on break at the time, has come back and Jim is on his break. I explain to the duty manager that we were well within our rights to refuse to authorise the pump, cuz the SC was standing there with the nozzle pointing up in the air. I also say that Jim was not rude; he was very polite, considering how trying the woman was by ignoring his instructions not once but twice, then coming into the shop to bitch.
Duty manager agrees with me, and says that he said as much to the SC, who was demanding that Jim be fired. He told her that wouldn't happen, as it was policy that we... wait for it... not authorise the pump til the nozzle was in the car. SC then left, swearing to complain to corporate. They won't listen to her either, due to the policy being set in stone, so none of us have anything to worry about. It's just a bit worrying that someone that dim is in charge of a car. O_o
