Sometimes theres a reason though. I'll never give away my last £1.20 in change because its my bus fare home, or to work the next day. Even if I'm buying something small. Because bus drivers round here sure won't take a note.
At least you get change. Here the drivers don't carry change, it all goes into a tamper proof machine. So say your fare is £1.10p and you've only got 2 £1 coins, you lose the 90p or walk.
Customers who complain at me when their special order food is not ready within 2 seconds, especially when we're busy, are the devil. Because it is CLEARLY my fault that your Big Mac extra cheese, no pickles isn't ready yet when the kitchen has to cook about 5billion a day to keep the production bin stocked up. And the ones that complain at me when we don't have stuff, and when the milkshake machine is broken (which is FREQUENT - we have customers that come in and ask if it's working like, all the time). It's like, IT'S HARDLY MY FAULT.
And what REALLY fucks me off is the ones that cancel a £20 order because of the fact that the milkshake isn't working. AND the ones that ask AFTER they've placed their order if we accept cards (which we don't), and then have to cancel the whole thing. It takes so much time to cancel the entire order, cause we can't have an order of nothing, so you have to like...put a sauce on...and delete the rest of it, with a swipey card that doesn't always work. It's annoying when there's a big queue in front of you as well.
AND the people that see the person in front of them walk off WITHOUT FOOD (which means they are coming back) and start ordering, then mouth off at me when I say that I still have an order to complete. Like, be fucking patient you cunts.
ETA: when people give me a £50 for a 99p burger. Fuck off and die.
Its hardly the end of the world. I didn't even think twice about it when I worked at a register.
Same with the debit/credit card for small purchases. Its less work for you, so why the fuck complain about it.
god that annoys me too.
it's like if we haven't got the bread they like in then it's MY fault.
they also seem to expect that i know everything about everything we sell in the shop and everything about all the departments.
And good luck to the woman who wanted a cup a soup finding anywhere on the road that'll let her buy it on her card, all the other convienience stores have £5 minimums.
A £2 min is nothing when some places make you spend £5 AND charge you 50p for the priviledge.
Pay the fare with a fiver or a tenner and they look like they want to murder you, and pay the far witrh 5ps and they look like they want to murder you.
The fact that I think 97.5% of all bus drivers are genetically inferior to the dog muck I side-stepped on the footpath this morning doesn't help, of course.
Changing the subject slightly to annoying shop workers, I was ID'd today for the millionth time... but with a difference. Went in to our dingy local shop, picked up my milk and then asked for one of those big boxes of cooking matches. Has anyone else EVER been ID'd buying matches?
FFS :shocking: Obviously I look like a pyromaniac (and no, I didn't have ID
Just not the ones that scrutinise your bus pass for about 30 mins...
It's at moments like these I'm glad I've left the job!
and also when you greet them saying hello and they ignore you, tossers.
Hm, I suppose I'd have felt differently (maybe) if the bloke in question hadn't seen me every day for the past three months. I'm pretty sure he was just being bloody awkward.
I would've usually had enough ID on me to send him to his grave happy, but that's what I get for going to the shops in my pyjama bottoms eh :chin:
You must be at least 16 to buy matches, (as far as I remember) and no offence Briggi, but you certainly look older than 16.
Wrong. No minimum legal age applies, unless they can be defined as 'novelty' matches...
:eek2: There isn't an age limit on matches! (AFAIK
You'd better believe I'm going to get off my lazy arse [in a minute
Go and shout at him a bit. In your pyjama bottoms :yes:
At asda it comes up with a promt which was 16 now 18.
Is Asda going off on it's own age checking thingy, what with raising the tobacco age limit to 18 etc?
I had an argument with one of their staff a little while ago who said 'Thats not you in your driving license picture' and refused to serve me. Fucking bitch. I called her manager who made her apologise though.
