Maybe because it wasn't ME he spoke to, as I didn't answer the phone at all yesterday :thumb:
And in the process, completely wreck the fixture you just tidied.
And the ones that go - 'What's the date today? Oh, that'll only last til Wednesday then, haven't you got anything that'll last longer?' Um, no love, cos it's all fresh. If you want bread that'll last you a week, Warburtons and Kingsmill are right over there.
And customers that touch you. When I'm filling up a shelf facing away from you, do not put your hand on my lower back, mate. Try 'excuse me, love?', that's always gonna get a better response than if I think you're a step away from touching me up.
I wish I had those days
Hate that shit, used to get it constantly.
I found it a lot easier dealing with idiotic customers over the phone, just put them on mute, call them a wanker (sticking your middle finger up at the phone too is optional), take them off mute and it's easier from there on in.
Or when they asked stupid questions like if we were based in India. Does it sound like we're based in fucking India?
She was an senile old hag from what I remember, I don't think she believed I was in the UK. I think she went on about how she found it very difficult to understand me, and how call centres should only employ people who can both speak and understand English.
Such a shame when twits like that get accidentaly hung up on
I hope they aint gonna do it with alcohol too then.
Tried to buy a bottle of something or other in Vicky Wines a couple of months ago, got knocked back because I didn't look 21, even though she said she knew I was over 18.
Fucks me off when shops have stupid rules like that, especially with lazy cunts like me on the go who can never be arsed sorting out ID :razz:
Most places have the challenge 21 thing now.
:banghead:
Haha, I'm so glad I'm not the only one that sticks my middle finger up at the phone
I also get them coming to us at the counter, when I have to retreat to the print room to verbally abuse them.
Ah yes, abusing them is brilliant.
Stupid questions are not.
We have more of a problem with staff from our other stores being shit thick and not having a clue.
And what really pisses me off is that when any stores phone us to ask us to check and reserve or transfer an item we search for it asap but tonight I phoned a store at 7.35 to check they had a bed set in stock and to reserve one for a customer. It took her 5 minutes to realise it wasn't on the shop floor and another 5 to go to the stockroom and get one. Leaving the customers 15 minutes to get to the other store which is about 20 minutes away!
Had a brilliant one on the phone today:
Me: Hello
Customer: Where do i phone to get my shopping delivered?
Me: sorry?
Customer: i want my shopping delivered
Me: ok, you need to do that online.
Customer: where?
Me: on the internet
Customer: How do you do that?
Me: you need to find someone with a computer
Customer: oh .... ok
Me: byeeee
I had to hang up then!
