Does not compute

[going gaga]

This one happened today ,
I still can't get my head round it.


This one was sent to my coworker,the youngest members of our team.
She is still sweet and optimistic. Possibly why this woman targeted her.
(I evesdrop, I'd had my daily fill of sc's by this point)

Basic thing sucky lady has bough items , she got a discount on said items.
Now she wants to return them, and get the full amount refunded.
Fine so far,all is well.

Until we find out what she means, what she actually wants back is the items full price refunded .
Yes, she wanted to recieve moremoney than she had actually paid.

When told , er no. She kicks up a fuss and demands someone higher up.
Reguardless to say she didn't get what she wanted.

Is it just me or are there more penny pinching SC's like this on a Sunday?
Has anyone else experienced this type of behaviour?

not really like that but I had a customer demand to have a free month or else we would cancel his service. His reason was, because he was 2 months behind on his bill, the free month for being a 'good customer' would allow him to catch up again....

[Apathy]

Is it really worth it to debase yourself so hard for a little money? What's wrong with getting a job and getting a normal paycheck?

Why do people continue to try and screw stores out of small time money? Who the fuck cares enough to do it? Man, I hate people.

Thank God. Sadly, alot of retail managers we've heard stories about around here would have caved.

Not necessarily on a Sunday, but I've commented recently that the economy excuse has really worn thin lately because I've noticed customers are even suckier than usual.

I've actually got an explanation for the Sunday thing. They're so worn out from sucking at their jobs M-F, Saturday they just sorta spend recharging, so they're full of suck when they go out on Sundays, to prepare for the workweek ahead. If they don't work M-F, the schedule shifts as appropriate.

Interesting. And likely quite probable!

Fridays are actually MY Sunday, so I'll have to see if I have the urge to be sucky and torture people when I'm out running my errands.

Remember, the requisite is you have to be worn out from sucking at your job. So unless you're gonna start mouthing off to customers, then you're not a valid test subject

Hmmm, good point.

And since I would never mouth off to a customer, and am perfect, I guess I'll never find out.




If my co-workers are reading this, I'm sure they're

Ah, my good friend, Jockey of the Broom, how quickly you forget that some of us are blessed with jobs where we can both Not Suck at Our Jobs and STILL mouth off to customers.

Finlandia has t-shirts that say it best: "Bartenders are gods. Do not anger the gods."

Yes, I love my job.

I didn't forget
I merely tailored the comment to fit the job of the person who I was addressing. Now, if it was you, I'd have said something like "Unless you're gonna start getting drunk during your shift" or "Start dumping drinks on people."

The first I have done. Often with the Boss Man. Hell, this week when we got a new brand of brew on tap, we emptied out the last of the old brand, and he not only allowed me to drink it, he expected me to. AND expected me to try the new brew and give me my opinion. Again, I LOVE my job.

The second I have not. At least not intentionally. As that WOULD get me fired.

wow, I'm almost jealous at that one. And that's quite the accomplishement, seeing as we both know I don't drink

Oh well, I get free books at my new job. I'll just have to settle for that.

[Jester]

I mean, I don't usually get DRUNK at The Bar*, though some of the bartenders do occasionally, but it is usually okay for a customer to buy us a shot here and there.

And one time, while waiting tables at my other job, the Waterfront Bar*, I got pretty lit up as 2-3 of my tables were buying me beer throughout the shift. I was pretty lubed up by the end of my shift, but still able to perform all my necessary duties.

And then I went out drinking afterwards!

*NOT the real names of the bars I work at, incidentally....just in case anyone was wondering.
