Whats an X box?
...And have you ever felt like taking their frggen head clean off?


Happened to me tonight with an abusive, drunk dip**** who had no idea what he was on about

If any body here has played laserforce(thats where I work in Ballarat), this may have happened to you at some stage:
The cord from his pack to his gun fell out, causing his gun not to fire but unlike the guys who he was playing against (they had a couple of suit problems) decided to stay in our field untill the game was finished and then choose that moment to get abusive
If he had of come out, we could have sorted his problem in about 2 seconds and let him get on with the game

These should be taken somewhere and shot, just so they cant populate the rest of the world with their inate stupidity





Just makes ya wanna scream
 
Thankfully, I don't. If I did, I'd get fired rather quickly. One thing I absolutely hate is listening to strangers ***** at me because they're not happy. If my supervisor wasn't so laid back, I probably would've been fired at my current job on multiple different occasions for going ballistic on mouthy truckdrivers who apparently have nothing better to do then be assholes to our employee's.

When my older brother was 16 he worked as a cashier, and told me stories everyday it seemed of someone coming into the store, and *****ing, arguing about nothing, getting all worked up over small ****, etc. I hate people, and try to avoid dealing with them as much as possible.
 
My point exactly


...I need a new line of work...
 
You have it easy.

Imagine a bunch of young kids (we'll say in the 5 to 10 year old bracket) playing hide and seek amongst cars parked in a showroom, screaming loudly, while other people are trying to work or actually sell a damned car to mommy and daddy, who in turn couldn't give a **** what their son or daughter's doing, and who find it rude when we ask them to watch their kids.

And when one of these little ****ers with no education decides to break something, the parents tend to blame us!

I live that on a mostly daily basis...
 
Almost the same here, just not on the same kind of (price) scale

We run birthday partys for kids as young as 4 up to 16, it doesnt seem to matter what age it is, there always seems to b e something broken afterwards

I agree that trying to control young kids can be a nightmare, but those parents that do no not try and control their kids, who then eventually break something need a kick in the ass also

Acting like it was your fault? That seems to be the way of the world Im afraid, unfourtunately
 
We had a family of South Americans come in the store yesterday and spend close to $1,000 is video game crap. For two hours it was nothing but 10 kids and like 5 adults screaming every which way in portuguese, spanish and english "please, please, GBA SP." That and pointing to stuff and mumbling in some language no-one understood.

Needless to say almost everybody went to TGI Fridays and got drunk after we closed shop.
 
I kinda do. Being a new car prep, either I don't deal with the costomer at all but rather a salemen(luckily at my dealership most of em are good people), but sometimes the customers are brought back to the cleaning bays, which is quite rude. Families with little kids walking on tire-shine covered floors with razor blades and chemicals everywhere. Today, I left work to get some food, and came back with the food and get out of my 323 and a saleswoman is standing there and tells me that a 3 is going ASAP(I ate first, naturally). So after I eat I run it through the wash and start cleaning it up. Right in the middle these people walk to the cleaning bay and the saleswoman says "Hey Ryan pull the car out so they can test drive it". My first thought was *Why wouldn't they test drive it BEFORE starting to buy it?!*. So I do it. They drive the very nice 3 around the block, and come back, it starts raining so there's all my work for nothing, then the car doesn't sell. Then a couple comes in to buy a Tribute, a freggin '04 year old new car. And they already had an identical one!! They traded that one in(it was probably an '02, but little changed) for the same damn thing. So whatever. I'm cleaning the thing up and they come back. I was told that they were really detail-oriented. This guy points out little crap. I had a moment of niceness to me so I did what the guy wanted, he was a cool guy. I even gave him a full can of tire-shine when he asked what we used on the tires to make them look good.
My main costomer service job is when I work in the service drivethrough from 3 to 6 daily. Mazdas and Oldsmobiles. The Mazda owners are levelheaded people, for the most part. The olds owners, YIKES. Becides buying sub-quality cars and thinking that they made the right choice, they are at times complete ignorent morons. Now I'm a 17 and a half year old that looks young, but these Olds people can't comprehend things. Some Olds people actually have the stupidity to either ask how old I am or, more directly, if I can drive. They can't put it together that I work at a dealership and therefore HAVE to drive. The last person that asked if I could drive...I knew there was a problem right away, her and her husband drove up with a Grand Am to pick up, get this, an Alero. THE SAME DAMN CAR. How dumb can you get! So they paid more for the same car. Anyway, after going to the cashire and coming back into the service bay, I asked to see thier reciept so that I could get thier tag number and bring thier POS right up to them. This lady says "Are you even old enough to drive?" I said "YESSSSSSSS"(I extended the S part of it to show her that I was insulted by her). She's then like "ohh, uhh...uhm, I didn't mean it that way" Yeah, ofcourse not. What way could she have meant it?! So I get her damn key and walk past her and she's like "I didn't mean..." And I just walked right past without paying attention to her. After getting into the damn car and contemplating whether or not to peel out just to piss her off I decided to take the high road and just drive up, get out, and walk away. From now on, if anyone asks me if I can drive, I'll get thier keys and then say "Nope" and bring thier car to them. I'll have to do something.
 
I'm an assistant manager at a drug store. I do a lot of refunds, and probably a quarter of those, are refunds for about fifty cents or less.

There was one instance where I was helping an older lady, and then a coworker helped her too, both of us asked if she needed help when she entered our aisles. Then she starts *****ing how we're not being helpful enough and how she can't find anything...
 
I work at a certain fast food restaurant at my local mall. I get the normal stuff like angry customers, people forgetting their orders, etc. But, one thing in particular pisses me off to no end.

People who don't speak English.

I often wonder how these people even survive in the United States of America. Just about everything and everyone speaks English. Haven't they realized that? How do they even get to the mall is a mystery in itself. I greet these customers like everyone else with a "How may I help you?" and a nice smile. They stutter and say "¿Español?". I reply with a big "No" and they start motioning and grunting to the menu board above. This is the saddest thing I have ever seen a Human do. Pointing and holding up fingers to indicate which value meal they want, like a baby who's wanting a bottle. What's even worst is that they try to get their companion or child to speak for them. A child needs to speak for you?! Complete madness ensues as the six year old child tries to communicate and translate, but fails horribly.

Maz always vents out at me because of hicks with olds, he hates them.

Damn straight, if they aren't rednecks, they're old. Very old. The type that walks out from the cashire all bent over and really makes you wonder how they can drive.

Haha. I don't even know why, but I found that horribly funny.
