  • Grumpy Old Men

    This involves the customer from this thread http://www.customerssuck.com/board/s...ad.php?t=48744

    I was opening the pub, and I was quite ahead of scheduel for once! Everything was organised and I found that I had everything ready a half hour before we opened! My co-worker who was working in the kitchen was in the same situation, so the two of us decided to have a cup of coffee while we waited for opening time to come along. We sat down, and were having a chat. Co-worker turned to me.

    CW: Oh my God. Customersruinmylife, look.

    I turn around, and see the old man from the thread above wandering around the garden! How he got in there is a mystery, because the iron gates were locked. He spotted us, and proceeded to press his face against the glass. I seriously felt like I was in a zoo. He tries the door. No luck. He waves at me. I yell through the door.

    Me: We don't open for half an hour!
    OM: I know, but I want in. I'm cold.
    Me: Sorry, not for half an hour.

    I turned around. Co-worker burst out laughing.

    CW: Customersruinmylife, he just gave you the finger!

    I look at OM. He is giving me quite possibly the most evil look I have ever seen a customer give me. He opens the gate and walks out the garden. About five minutes later, another co-worker turns up for her shift on the bar. I decide to let her in through a fire exit, as there are three other old men hanging around the door. I open the door and OM is stood at the fire exit.

    OM: I want in! I'm cold!
    Me: Not for twenty minutes!

    I slammed the door. We spent the next 20 minutes with half a dozen old men glaring at us. OM, the ring leader, was quite clearly bitching about me to them, I saw him pointing at me several times. Opening time finally came, and I purposely opened 2 minutes late. I let them in, and then return to the bar to serve them. OM is bitching to another old man about me, quite clearly doing it so I could hear.

    OM: Stood outside for 45 minutes in the cold...the management here are awful...they should let us in early...absolutely ridiculous...they have shitty little kids managing this place...he has no right to be a manager...

    I decided to have some fun. I turned to co-worker.

    Me: CW, do you believe that the other side of the bar is sound-proof?
    CW:
    Me: I mean...it must be! No one could possibly be THAT rude that they would talk about someone in such a manner. It's so rude, don't you think? He can't possibly think we can hear him!

    CW starts chewing the inside of her mouth, she is trying so hard not to laugh.

    OM: I heard that!
    Me: Oh! So the bar isn't sound-proof then!

    OM walked off, muttering about how much he hated me. I looked down the bar, and saw half a dozen, smelly old men, glaring at me.

    Me: CW, I really am going to miss all the happy, smiling faces I have to serve when I leave!
    CW: Customersruinmylife...you make me laugh so much...please don't leave!!
