Dear Madame's
Your bill is $30. Not $13. Leaving only $13 on a $30 doesn't even leave me room for a tip. You're not even half way there. What the hell?

To make matters worse my manager refused to remove enough from their bill to bring it down to 13 or less. Thus in addition to getting no tip I had to pay for a portion of their meal. When protesting this I was told Im luckly they removed anything at all.

If you can't pay for your full meal there is a McDonalds up the street!!!!

Current Mood: aggravated

Just a Bit of a WTF to Kick Off Hunting Season
Dear Sir:

No, there is no one here who can mount your scope and bore sight your gun. No, this does not mean that there's no one here running the gun counter -- I'm running the gun counter, and can pretty much do everything but. No, I don't know how to mount your scope and bore sight your gun. No, I can't let you behind the counter so you can do it yourself. The liability concerns are enormous. No, I can't let you "talk me through it." Yes, I know I should learn how to do scope mounts. But I'd rather have one of my co-workers teach me, and I know corporate feels the same way. See, this is that whole liability thing again.

Sir, if you have the tools and the ability to do this at home, why are you here?

No, I can't just let you use the tools. No, I can't let you "talk me through it." No, really, I can't. Are you sure you don't want to just do this at home? Really sure? Since you've mentioned several times now that you know what you're doing and own your own tools for this?

Sir, let me just call CompetitorStore and see if they've still got someone mounting scopes. Sir, it looks like the Amazing Randi [note: Amazing Randi used to work for my store. People still come in looking for him, and leave when we tell them that he's with the competitor. He is, apparently, that Amazing.] will be there to mount your scope for you. No, really, you're better off having him do it than "talking me through it." I promise you, I don't know what I'm doing, and you really don't want me messing about with your gun three days before the rifle openener. Yes, Amazing Randi knows what he's doing. This is why he's the Amazing Randi. Go. Let him help you.

No, you can't just "talk me through it." Yes, I'm sure. Go talk to Randi now. Okay. Bye-bye.

[A note of possible interest: The next day, Amazing Randi came into our store to say hello, and I asked what had happened with "Talk You Through It" guy. Apparently he was at CompetitorStore until well after closing, arguing with Randi over whether or not he needed a particular set of rings, and whether or not he could use a certain scope, and just really didn't know at all what he was talking about. Some hours later, "Talk You Through It" guy was back in my store, arguing with our gun guy about the same rings and the same scope. He left in a huff, announcing that he was going to ThirdCompetitorSomeDistanceAway, where he will no doubt get into the same argument with their gun guy, and the cycle will repeat itself. Good thing I didn't let him "talk me through" anything.]

Sucks from the Casino
Croupier in New Zealand, here. I've been on the floor properly for all of two weeks, and I already have some delightful stories to tell.

Five dollars is SRS BZNS! But not as serious as DINNER! )

I run a business, this is NOT how we do! )

Assorted mild niggles )

I love my job, I really do! Most of the patrons are great. 99% of them. :) And the job is super fun, too!

Google Books has SVH
Mods? If this isn't appropriate/needed for 1bruce1 let me know.

Um, hi everyone. :)

I found out while Googling "Francine Pascal" that some of the early books which were reprinted are showing up as Google Books results. So you, too, can see Jessica moaning about the zit that ate Sweet Valley in Double love on your web browser. :)

Aside: I was actually trying to find the Fearless books and couldn't remember the name so I was Googling her name to see if maybe they'd come up. I ended up running a search on amazon.com and then I remembered. :)

I used to work in a cinema. Wasn't so bad except for the usual run of problem customers one gets in places like that; the people who left their courtesy at the door, and the people who apparently couldn't be bothered to read their ticket and just wandered vaguely in the direction of the nearest screen, the ones who combined the two and argued with me when I tried to point them in the right direction ...
Since I don't work there anymore, I'm free to bitch. )

WTF/Suck at the Pharmacy


Backstory: I work in a Pharmacy that has 3 letters in the first part of it's name, and used to be only New England based (our first stores were not far from where I work now). One of our stores is having weird phone problems, and has for the past week or so, to the point where doctors are calling us and asking if that store is out of business.

Our phones work fine.

Me: Moo.
C: Customer

-ringringringOnePharmacyCall-

Me: Thank you for calling -Pharmacy-,[info]imakittiecat speaking, how can I help you?
C: Hi, I was trying to call -other store- and their phone isn't working. Is everything alright over there?
Me: Their phones aren't working? Hrm.. As far as I know, things are okay over there. They're open.
C: Well, can you call them to make sure?
Me: ...Um, well, if you didn't get in contact with them, I don't know that I would be able to.
C: Well, call them anyway!!

I put her on hold and facepalm a minute. If she can't get through the phone system, how am I supposed to? The pharmacist, K, tells me that their phones, are in fact, screwed up, and have been for a while. (So glad I don't work there when the aftermath is over.)

Like a good doobie, though, I try calling. Lo and behold, I can't get through!

Me: -takes phone off hold- Ma'am, I tried calling -other store- and I couldn't get in contact with them either. They're having pretty bad phone problems, from what I'm being told.
C: Well what are you going to do about it?
Me: (Does she expect me to climb the telephone pole and fix it?) Well, there's really nothing I can do from here.. I can always fill your prescriptions here---
C: -huffhuff- Well I don't WANT to do THAT!
Me: Well, I'm sorry. There's really nothing else I can do. Their phones will work again soon, they're just going in and out right now.
C: Well, do you have the internet?
Me: (Yes, I'll just access facebook on the computer or twitter the store..) Um, we do have internet access on our phone, but it doesn't work in a way we can communicate with the other store.
C: I don't understand.
Me: ..We can't contact them over the internet. We can't email them or message them.
C: I don't know what you're talking about.
Me: (What?? You just asked me....urrrgh) We have no way of contacting them in that way.
C: Well what happens if there's an emergency!!!!
Me: (well, it's right across from the hospital...) Well, I don't know what kind of emergency there would be, but I don't know what we'd do. We'd have to wait until their phones worked I guess.
C: Well, have them call me when their phones work! They should be calling us!!!!
Me: I'm sorry, ma'am, I can't do that if I can't get in contact with them.
C: Well, fine. Goodbye.

...Let me just drive over to the store to tell them to call you. On the phones that don't work. Sure.

Listen. To. Me.
Hello, may I-

I just finished unpacking all the holiday shipment, and the tone you are using with me is really making me angry.

You bought a CHI flat iron and a CHI hair dryer. Um. Okay.

Oh, see, this conversation would have gone faster if you'd just told me the problem from the get-go. Your dryer has a funny smell, and its worrying you. Well, are you within our return policy, which is 60 days?

No, okay well, you are within a year, so I'm just going to give you CHI's-

Oh, you're going to berate me, because its somehow my fault you're outside the return policy. No, we did not just spring this on you. See this paragraph on the bottom of the receipt that describes our return policy? Note the "60 days".

Now, if you would just let me finish my sentence-

No, you're going to insult my store some more and claim you could have just bought it on the Internet for cheaper.

Okay, bye, bye.

If you'd have let me speak, I could have given you CHI's contact information. Because you're within your warranty, and they'd have replaced your dryer for free. But I guess you didn't want to know that.

I don't think its a Zorro if they own themselves, is it?

PAPER BAAAAAAAAAAAGS.
Part suck, part WTF:

Me: *holding up a package of raw meat* Would you like this in a separate bag?
Man: Everything in paper.
Me: Okay, but would you -
Man: Everything in paper.
Me: - like this in a -
Man: *in a tone you might use to address a particularly stupid dog* Everything. In. Paper.
Me: Yes, sir. Everything in paper. I understand. But would you like this bagged separately, since it is raw meat? Some people don't want the possibility of raw meat leaking on their other food.
Man: Oh. No, that's okay.

STAB STAB KILL WHEN I SAY I UNDERSTAND THAT MEANS I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING AND YOU DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP REPEATING SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS LIKE I AM A SIMPLETON GOD DAMN IT YOU SMELL BAD.

Also, hey everyone. The express lanes are the same as they have always been. The sign is now hanging from the ceiling rather than from the light above the line, but it is still VERY visible. If you still somehow fail to catch on, please don't get pissed at me when I tell you that yes, in fact, this tiny little lane that only has room for a few groceries that has a sign reading EXPRESS LANE - TEN ITEMS OR FEWER above it is, in fact, still an express lane. You can go straight to a big lane. And then straight to hell.

I move to the bakery next week to learn how to decorate cakes! Thank fuck. Because, although I love most of my customers, I would rather spend my time conversing with baked goods.

Suck/WTF?
Suck/WTF from the teddy-bear-making store.

A bit ago, we put out an animal based on a boy band that's currently being whored out by the Disney Channel. For the release, we did something we'd never done before--an event that people had to RSVP for and reserve an animal, and when they came to pick it up on the day of the party, they also got a free sound in it that had a message recorded by the boys, thanking you for being their #1 fan. We put up velvet ropes and everything, and the kids loved it. Cute, didn't go over as well as the higher-ups had hoped, oh well. It's also important that the sound was no longer available after that day--all of them that weren't sold had to be sent back. They didn't have a SKU anyway, so we couldn't have sold one even if we wanted to.

But about a week after, we got a call from someone who had RSVP'd but hadn't attended.
Customer: Hello, I RSVP'd for the [animal] event, and I wanted to know when I could come pick up my animal and sound.
Me: You can come get your animal anytime you'd like, but I'm sorry, we can't give you the sound. It was only supposed to be given out to the people that showed up to the event.
C: But that's not fair. I RSVP'd.
M: I'm very sorry, but the sounds have already been sent back.
C: That's not fair! I promised my daughter that I'd get her that sound!
M: Well, we do have another sound that we can sell you; it has the boys singing. Is that okay?
C: No! I want the special sound! It's not fair!

Not exaggerating, she said "that's not fair" probably ten times before I handed her over to a manager, who told her the exact same thing. I didn't get to hear that part of the conversation, though. I was itching to quote Labyrinth at her, but I didn't think that would've gone over very well.

Remembrance Day WTF
Countess of the Car Rentals here, c_s. A WTF that occurred at work this past November 11th.

Background info for non-Canadian members: Remembrance Day is kind of the equivalent of Veteran's Day in the States, but we're more srs about it. Every year various charity groups sell these little fellows for citizens to wear on their lapels or shirts to honour Canadians in the Armed Forces who fought or are currently fighting in wars and missions. You're supposed to wear it on the left side, where your heart is (technically not, but it's symbolic).

So, I'm sitting behind my counter happy as can be with my poppy proudly pinned to my shirt, on my left side. A woman walks up to my counter to ask me about a rental rate:

ME
WL - Weird Lady

WL: How much is a car if I want to take it over a weekend, blah blah blah
ME: Well if you take an A class it's blah blah blah if you take a B class it's blah blah and you have until blah to get the weekend blah.
WL: *suddenly goes quiet and is staring at my shirt*
ME: ...so, uh-
WL: That's really disrespectful, you know.
ME: ...pardon?
WL: That's really disrespectful. You're supposed to wear your poppy on the left side. My father fought in WWII, he was on Juno Beach!
ME: ...it is on my left side ma'am. I always wear it on my left side for Remembrance Day D:
WL: No it's not! THIS *points to her left* is the side it's supposed to be on!
ME: *oic what's going on here* That's your left side, ma'am. If we were facing the same way you'd see it's on the correct side.
WL: ... *click!* Oh...
ME: Yeah.
WL: ...so anyway, I'll come by later if I decide to rent the car, okay?

Incredibly bizarre. She wasn't necessarily rude about it, just agitated. Like I said, Canadians get srs about the 11th :O

It was just a few days ago in this community that I was reading sucks about customers breaking things and not telling anyone, and thinking to myself "It's amazing that something like that hasn't happened on my shift where I work!" Well..


I was on my way to the back of the store to take my last break of the day when I turned a corner and overheard the words "broken glass everywhere" and "someone should clean that up!" coming from a pair of customers behind me. I asked them what was up, and apparently someone had dropped one of our glass jar candles on the ground and left it there. To make it worse, I discovered that they'd placed the half-shattered remaining jar back on the fixture amongst the other ones. To make it even worse than that, the fixture where this happened and the glass was everywhere was in the aisle bordering the children's dept.

Phone WTF, in script format.
M = Me. Insurance Agent and Destroyer of Worlds.
CL = Crazy Lady.
P = Phone.

P: Riiiiiing.
M: Good afternoon, this is Mackerel Insurance, Spike speaking-- how may I help you?
CL: YOU NEED TO STOP CALLING ME.
M: Um...
CL: I don't even have insurance with you! Why did you call me?
M: Ma'am, you called me.
CL: I certainly didn't. I don't even know you! I don't even have insurance with you!
M: Is your number 555-555-5555?
CL: Yes! See, how would you know that if you hadn't called me? Someone there called me just now.
M: Was it a missed call?
CL: No! The phone rang and I picked it up and it was you!
M: Honestly madam I don't think anyone called you. The phone rang here, your number popped up on the Caller ID, and I picked it up, and it was you.
CL: That's impossible! I don't even have insurance with you people!
M: Well I don't know what to say. I suppose some lines got crossed or something.
CL: You people and your sales calls!
M: This isn't a sales call... we don't do that.
CL: I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CALLED ME THIS EARLY IN THE MORNING, STOP CALLING HERE.
M: Okay. I'm sorry about that.
CL: Don't call here again! *click*

I mean... she did call me. I was sitting right here when the phone rang and it was her. Wasn't a ringback or anything, because she does not have insurance with us... so.

Edited so as not to double post...

TG = Tanning Girl

P: Riiiiiing.
M: Good afternoon, Mackerel Insurance, Spike speaking, how may I help you?
TG: Yeah, can I get a price on your tanning packages?
M: Oh. You must have the wrong number, this is an insurance agency.
TG: But your number was listed under "tanning" in the phone book.
M: Are you sure? This is 555-555-5555.
TG: Yeah I'm sure! So what are the prices?
M: There must have been a mistake. We don't do tanning or any salon services at all.
TG: But your number was listed!
M: *at a loss for words*
TG: I really need to go tanning! I'm going to party next Saturday.
M: Okay... well, we don't do tanning here.
TG: You don't even have a bed in the basement? I know some places just have one or two beds and don't advertise it. Like, for extra money?
M: ....No. We really only sell insurance here, sorry.
TG: Well, fine. But this is terrible customer service. *click*

Bitch, we ain't got tanning. GTFO.

*lays paperwork on counter*
Me: If you can sign this one here.. there is a flower pen right there for you *points*
Customer: Oh, no.
Me: ...?
Customer: I won't use a flower pen.
Me: Why?
Customer: It's not manly! Just like how I won't buy a Volkswagen.
Me: Hmm...
Customer: I mean, the Volkswagen with flowers on it.
Me: Ok.. well, we just have a lot of pens stolen which is why we put flowers on those.
Customer: You should put something manly on them... like a wrench.

Small WTF
I work in a coffee shop. We had a customer come in today who wanted to use a buy one get one free voucher, but he only wanted one coffee. He started off by ordering his coffee, and then saying that he had a BOGOF voucher, and asked if he could use it for his order. So...

Me: So two of those?
Customer: No.
Me: What would you like instead (we're pretty lax, the vouchers say you can get whatever you want, but we let people get whatever and pay for the most expensive one)
Customer: I don't want anything else.
Me: (bzuh?) I'm sorry, I thought you wanted to use one of the vouchers.
Customer: I do. But I only want one coffee.

So I stood there confused for a few seconds and then my manager mentioned that to use a BOGOF voucher, you actually have to buy one, and then we give you one for free. And that doesn't really work if you only want one coffee.

A couple sucks I have been saving up:


1. DO NOT PLAY WITH YOUR LIGHTER INSIDE MY STORE! (He kept trying to catch his coffee cup on fire D: )

2. Dear lady:
You bought coffee. What did you think it would taste like? Sunshine and clouds? Oh- it's just that it tastes Too Much Like Coffee. I suggest cream and sugar, which would help mightily, but you'd rather return your coffee-like coffee. Sure, whatever.

3. Dear people that keep coming 30 minutes before we close:
No, we do not have a great selection right now. We close in half an hour, though, so this is not shocking to me, nor should it be to you, though it is. Sorry. No, I don't know of any other donut places around here that are open, as I don't keep a list of competetor's places to give business to. Sorry again. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

4. People, stop paying with 348957485 dollars in dimes, nickels and pennies! If you are 6 and have saved up a shit ton of change, I understand. If you have your own bank account and are within your majority, please hit the bank first.
and, on the flip side,
5. STOP PAYING FOR 1.59 COFFEES WITH 100 OR 50 DOLLAR BILLS! We are a small independent store, not a bank.

6. Whether you are buying books or coffee, please do not cut. There is one line, for both. IT IS FROM THE SAME STORE! Don't come up to the side and try to pay on the DL for your books, there is tax as well, which you know, dumb-asses.

(I'm sure there's more, but I am to tired to ponder my stressful job.)

green aproned fabric store.
Simple yet :(


So I'm walking down the racetrack to the cutting counter from registers.
Old lady RAMS into me and I drop the stuff in my hands.
Old lady goes off on me saying "HOW DARE I TAKE UP ALL THE ROOM IN THE AISLE AND SHES JUST A LITTLE OLD LADY!?#!?!)(Y" "ITS ALWAYS ABOUT YOU DAMN KIDS. ALWAYS COMPLETELY DISGUSTING AND RUDE"

She ran into me.


Later on, she's giving me the eye of death when she gets into the line for the registers.
She complains to my boss about how I ran into her.

When she was the one that ran into me.

It just made me :(

My boss just wanted to facepalm the entire time, she said.

Relayed Suck
I work at the Yellow and Black, or for those who haven't become bumble bees, Black and Khaki General Store.

My manager fills me in on a situation.

A lady comes in with a coupon for ONE (1) bottle of Gain detergent up to 80 loads. She goes to counter with two bottles of gain. One for 38 loads, I think, and the other for 45 loads and wants to use her coupon. Manager calmly tells her that she cannot use the coupon for two bottles.

"But it says up to 80 loads!"

"It says, ma'am, one bottle up to 80 loads. You have two."

"Well, I'll just go to Wal-Mart then!"

One Old Suck
I've tried to repress this memory, but have so far been fruitless.

I used to be a buffet attendant for a restaurant that was part of a casino. It's pretty much well known that the customers will be jerks to EVERYONE once they loose a lot of their money on the casino. Unfortunately, the company has a very strict code of conduct when it comes to customer service. You should not make the customer angry under any circumstances, and you should go out of your way to make them comfortable (the company gets a lot of the business from having such great customer service).

At the time of this incident, I had been working in the restaurant for about a month, so I still wasn't for sure what I should and shouldn't do when it came to customer comfort.

The buffet had only been open for an hour or so for breakfast. I was the only attendant out there at the time because I had to take some cherry turnovers out of the oven for another customer.

Suddenly, a man comes over to the station, and tells me that his wife has just slipped on a butter packet (Apparently it had fallen on the floor by another customer who couldn't be bothered to pick it up, and had gone unnoticed by the workers since we're not supposed to go on the main floor). I quickly jerked my head up because I had been expecting some woman to be sprawled out on the floor.

But no- she was just standing in the middle of the floor with a plate full of food and a scowl on her face. I apologized to the lady waiting for a turnover, grabbed a few napkins and went over to the other woman. Her husband walked over with me, and took her plate of food and went back to their table.

I apologized to the woman, but she still wasn't happy. She told me that I had to clean up the floor at once. So, I did. I wiped up the butter from the floor with the napkins. I noticed that there was some butter on her shoe, and I tried to hand her a napkin, but she just looked at me like I was stupid and was like, "I can't move! I'll fall!"

I was like, "Okay, well, the butter is off the floor, and here's a napkin for your shoe."

"I said I CAN'T move! I'll FALL!"

I just stood there for a few seconds, completely lost at to what the woman wanted me to do, when she finally DEMANDED that I clean off her shoe. And well, I did- because I was told repeatedly to not make customers angry. One of the other employees had walked in to see me do that, and when I walked off from the lady, my co-worker came up to me and was like, "Did she really make you clean off her shoe? You're not a slave." I just shrugged and went back over to my station, properly sanitized (and not only because I was going to handle food, but because I had to touch that woman's nasty sandal and foot), and got the turnover for the woman who was still patiently waiting.

If that wasn't bad enough, the butter-shoe woman came BACK over to my station and demanded that I mop the floor because it was still greasy from the butter (which it wasn't). I just walked in the back and stood there until she left.

Dear guest staying here,

I am sorry the ATM doesn't seem to want to take your debit card, but I cannot use it to give you cash. It is against hotel policy. What's that, you're a high level Priority Club member and you are best friends with the GM? Good for you, but that still won't make me go against hotel policy. What, you're going to talk to the GM and my Front Desk manager tomorrow? Great, I'm sure they'll point out to you that it is indeed against hotel policy and there are no exceptions even for pompous wind bags like yourself.

Sincerely,
Nightauditguy

Note: I did point out a few nearby ATMs he could use
Note2: Only way a guest can get cash back is if the guest paid in cash and there's enough left over for a refund

1 second hand suck, 1 observed
This first suck is a 2nd hand told suck. It was told to me by a friend of mine who also happens to work in the same grocery store I do. I was working that day as well, but this happened to her on the other side of the store in her department, the Appy department ( known in other grocery stores as the deli department ).

She was in doing a bit of shopping for herself, not on shift that hour, and was ordering something from Appy ( I think she said it was some kind of sliced deli meat. She didn't say exactly. ^^; ).

She spots two kids starting to POUND on the glass display case. Yes, the glass is kind of thick, but it's still GLASS and it's still fragile. If you pound and smack on the glass as hard these kids were, the risk of that glass cracking and shattering is VERY high.
Tossed behind the LJ cut. Kinda long )


Please, please, parents, pay attention to what your kids are doing! We do our best to keep little ones in the corner of our eye, but we can NOT babysit them for you because you think something else is far more important to look at than watching your kids. We are NOT their guardians, that is YOUR job as a mother or father or "responsible" adult.
