I'm a selfish little pig

[customersruinmylife]

The weather in the UK is awful at the minute. We are having the worst snow storms in 40 years, and the country has been brought to a near enough stand still. A satalitte photo was taken of the country, and it seriously looks like The Day After Tomorrow here. As I've mentioned in previous posts, I have to get the bus to work. I just managed to get there, but was getting concerned about my journey back. So was my manager.

The pub was very quiet, which was good because a lot of staff just gave up trying to get to work. It was two hours before the kitchen was due to close, when manager walked in.

M: Customersruinmylife, I'm closing the kitchen now. The snow is getting worse and if I don't let you go now, you'll never get home.
Me: OK, thanks, I'll just finish up and go.

I spend about 15 minutes closing down, and headed out. I got changed, and was just saying goodbye to my co-workers, when I heard a woman screech.

SC: YOU SELFISH LITTLE PIG!!

She was saying it to me.

Me: Excuse me?
SC: The kitchen is closed! My group wanted to order food!
Me: Well, I'm sorry about that, but I don't live around here and I don't want to end up stranded.
SC: Pah! A little snow? I've seen much worse!
Me: Riiiiight...

I headed for the door.

SC: DON'T WALK AWAY WHEN THERE IS A CUSTOMER COMPLAINING!

I carried on walking. What a bitch. The buses weren't running in the end, and I had to call one of my parents and plead for a lift. If I hadn't left then, they would have gone to bed and I would never have got home.

What a wanker...lol.

You are terribly selfish. How dare you not feed them? So what if you can't get home, everyone knows employees live in the back. Just plug yourself into the wall socket to recharge after the pub closes.

So it wasn't Alec Baldwin in drag?

If the weather wasn't so bad for that bitch I suppose she could go to the grocery store and do a little outdoor bbq.

I think this is the photo CRML is talking about. We got it sent round work here i lil 'ol NZ this morning. Small world huh?

What better time to walk away from a customer than when (s)he is complaining? Maybe (s)he'd be nicer if/when you come back. Seriously, I can't believe the nerve of that one, since she'd already been told the kitchen was closed. "What snowstorm?"

Shoulda started skipping away at that point!

Wow. Aside from being a travel nightmare, I have to say that's wicked awesome.

I think the worst part of that picture is that I can see a little green in Ireland. The little tease.

In all seriousness, I was planning to go to London today before classes start up again. Trains were cancelled a lot and my local station wouldn't let me get on one to the main station because something either broke down or it was stuck or gods know they didn't tell the people at the station so they weren't likely to tell us.

Ah well, I'll go another day. I promised my parents souvenirs from the British museum and I'd actually like to see the city while I'm living in the UK.

I am assuming that you made post from home, meaning you made it safely.

I am waiting to hear about all the people standing in three feet of snow tomorrow morning, waiting for the pub to open. The story will probably be even better if the pub doesn't open. Hope you are not on the opening crew.

Atlanta will get about an inch of snow. City will be paralyzed. I grew up in snow, but down here, we don't have the snow removal equipment

OMG! As I'm typing, a snow plow pasted the house. I did not know we had one!

Those of you in the snow, stay safe.

I grew up in snow,

That must have really stunted your growth.

On the upside if those customers get frozen to death where they stand the manager can save thousands on lawn decorations.

Those statues can cost up to 3,000 dollars USD and all she has to do now is just throw some decorations on them and bam, you got yourself some frozen corpse gods.

They might have the snow plows.... but knowing how to use them properly makes a very big difference. Hopefully they do know how.

I would have blown up at her! What a COW.

[tropicsgoddess]

I would've told her to get bent to be honest. The selfish little shit deserves the for sure!

[customersruinmylife]

I got home safe yeah and school has been cancelled today. There hasn't been a single snow plough out all night to the roads are a death trap at the minute. I have a shift at the pub tonight, so that should be interesting because I doubt very much I am going to get there.
