You won't believe how many people walk into our showroom [bearing in mind we have a 3 foot tall Honda badge brightly lit up on a big red wall at the back and Honda stamped like EVERYWHERE] and ask if this is the right place to get their Jag/Vauxhall serviced.

I dont work retail, I actually am a sprint finance escelations rep... some of you im sure know what that is, but basically, when you call into the finance department with sprint and ask for a sup, you get me. I had this one lady who was claiming her phone didnt work one time, and the call was an hour long with her making excuses as to why she shouldnt have to pay her bill. I was like "mam, your phone was obviously in use, you used 5500 minutes during the month you claimed the phone was broke". Shit I dont even use that many in 6 months. Then there is always the customers who demand to have their service back on or they will cancel. Its like, you havent payed your bill in over 4 months, at this point, we are going to cancel you...

I work at a tool store...in the warehouse. When I'm out on the sales floor stocking things or moving freight...I get (at least 3 times a day) the..."do you work here" customer. Mind you I'm wearing black pants and a bright yellow and black shirt with the company name and logo on both sides. Those are my favorite customers. And by favorite I mean the ones I want to kill the most.

Busted: around here its normal to give your food guy beer or drugs when he delivers to a party or a group of more than 5.

99% of the time we invite said pizza dude back or just send him on his way with some beers. If said pizza dude rejects the offer of beer or dope, a monetary tip will then be brought forth.

Its just how it is around here. Stop anyone under 30 on the street, they know this shit.lol.

i used to work at the airport, as a ramp worker. (handle bags, marshall palnes, de-ice, etc), at the end of the jet bridge , its our job to tag valet bags. (bags too big for carry on, or if theres no more room overhead.). you can almost see it coming. some mid 40's lady yapping on her cel phone not paying any attention. im hustling around trying to stay on time. trying to get this lady's attention. she finally hears me out and then all snobby shes like "eeeh, this is carry on" im like "mam, that bag is too big, you have to valet it, it will be waiting for you right when you get off the plane" shes like " i dont want to chack my bag", " its not a checked bag mam, its a valet. you dont have to pick it up at the baggage claim. IT WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU RIGHT WHEN YOU GET OFF THE PLANE" then shes all like whatever and just walks on the plane anyway. im thinkin to myself "see ya in 5 minutes bitch" sure enough here comes the lady back peddling off the plane all up in everyones way. i just give a shit eating grin as she walks toward me. we dont say anything to eachother, but she knows she looks like an idiot. and of course, since she was such a dumb bitch, when i put her bag in the plane, i gave it a little extra abuse. haha.

but then in a momentary lapse of thought, i did the same thing flying out of LGA. but the guy that took my bag had the audacity to tell me my bag was going on the first class shelf. i guess he didnt know i worked at the airport, and i know theres no first calss shelf. fuckin cocksucker.

but on a slight tangent, that reminds me of what we used to do to the new guys. at night when we cleaned the planes we would send them out on assinine (sp?) tasks. tell them to go to delta and get 5 gallons of prop wash, (doesnt exsist), or 50 feet of flight line, (also doesnt exsist), and all the other carriers were in on the joke, so they would just send them around to other carriers cause they "didnt have any". and occasionally we would get new guys come in and ask us for stupid shit too. good times

I hope you didn't really ban that guy. He was using the word in a direct quote from some one else. He didn't call any one any thing offensive and this is coming from a black guy. All you had to do was edit it out of his post and let him know.

i deliver pizza i had some lady try to give me her fucking cat as a tip

Future240

True, but if she let that go, it would send a message that its okay to use as long as if you dont call it to someone.

Some people would be against him usin the word even in that way.

If he felt so compeeld to use it, he should have used astericks

Seriously? hahaha

The thing is this, he didn't say it. He quoted some one else using the word. It shows the ignorance of the man quoted more than any racism on punk138's part.

I guess it doesn't mater but I would like to hear what Lisa was thinking when she decided to ban him because I fully agree with the spirit of the rule but in this instance, I don't think the wording of the rule is very sensitive as far as what is really offensive.

^ I think she is just following the rules. Rules say you cant use it no matter what tense, or how it is used.

I'm black and I know if i used it she would ban me too, so i dont. In the rules there can be no exceptions, that is the only way it can be fair to everyone. In other words, no double standards here.

I have way too many stories, I worked retail for a looong time. I think Blockbuster may have been the worst for me. In Hollywood. Everyone's a royal douchebag. I had like 4 cool customers I actually liked there. Actually a GOOD story is this kid, about 12 yrs. old, would always hang out and talk video games with me. He hung out there so much like on Friday and Saturday nights, I gave him a blockbuster shirt and a name badge. He'd stack movies and run 'em and he even rang up his sister. And those were busy nights. People would always give us crooked looks. I'd tell him to tell them he's 36 or my little brother, or my kid. He turned to me after some customers left and said " I think they were drunk" haha. Not like he'd really be working hard, just whatever he felt like. Of course he'd get movies and candy,drinks whatever for free. Cool kid, good times.

I work at a car dealership, and whenever a customers car is done, it gets sent through the car wash. Its just a free wash we give all our customers, if they want it deatailed they have to pay. But at least once a day, I hear
"omg, did you guys wash my car?"
"yes we did"
"well you didnt do a very good job"
you're welcome bitch

drftkng951

i work at a dealership and i always love to hear when people come in (mostly women) and complain about their car idling to weird....they either say "isn't my car supposed to idle at 0 RPM?" or "i think my car is idling a little low because when i start it in the morning it goes all the way up and after a little while it goes just bellow the 1000 RPM..."


usually they are stubborn and want someone to look at it and pay after finding out some thing isn't wrong with her car.

Gotta bump this for my story:

Customer of The Day:

This will be a bit lengthy but the story needs a little background information.

My parents own a fast food Chinese restaurant and I volunteered to help run the place with them. I work the cash register so I get to meet all the customers that walk in and place their orders, and a lot of dumb ones at that. However, tonight I was totally caught off guard by the stupidity of this one customer, and of course it had to be the last customer of the day.

It was 9pm and we were closing the restaurant when this lady, I’d say young to mid 20’s walks in and is looking for something quick. She asks me a few questions about our dishes as she’s looking at our menu. She quickly turns around to the pictures we have mounted on the wall behind her. She spots a dish labeled “Garlic Chicken”. This is the convo:

Woman, “So, what’s in the Garlic Chicken?”
Me, “Garlic chicken has onions, green bell peppers, and mushrooms”
Woman, “Sooooo…. There’s no chicken in it?”
Me, “………………..”

I really wanted to say NO there is absolutely no chicken in the garlic chicken but of course I was helpful and finally after a 10 second pause, I said, “yes, there is chicken in the GARLIC CHICKEN”

All she said was, “oh ok, I’ll take it”

Ladies and gentlemen, the customer of the day!

Just thought I'd share!

When I used to work at the jc penney's jewlery section in the arcadia mall we would get these cheap chinese old ladies that would come in and talk shit. I am part chinese but dont speak a word, but one of my coworkers did and would translate to me. Always funny to catch those little old ladies off gaurd and tell them what they just said in plain english hehe

I work as a valet and bellman for a large high class hotel.

Being the nice guy that i am, i usually let people park on the drive in front of the valet stand right in front of the lobby while they check in/load/unload luggage/etc. I let them know there is a 15 min. grace period and that i will have to hold on to their keys while they leave their car unattended. i don't trip if they take 30 or even 45 min, its pretty slow this time of year anyways.

Couple guys pull up each driving an SUV, they were obviously together which boggles my mind as neither car had less than 5 seats. anyways, the first guy was cool, gave his keys to my coworker and headed inside to check in. i go up to the other guy,

"good afternoon sir, welcome to the _____ _____ ________ how are you doing"
"hmm"
"checking in, sir?"
"ya"
"well you can go ahead and leave your car up here for up to 15 min"
"hmm"
"i just need to hold on to your keys while you leave your vehicle unattended sir"
"no"
"sir its policy for safety reasons"
"no"

other guy looks back and says

"just give him your keys"

the fool throws his keys at me. im not going to even try to catch them.

"sir! you dropped your keys!"

looks at me all stupid.

"sir, ill just hang onto them until youre done checking in"

as SOON as they were inside for 15 min i went ahead and charged them $6 each to valet their vehicles.



We have a lot of conferences and conventions for some of the largest software, medical and otherwise technologically advanced fields. Its staggering how many people can design a new fucking airplane or cure some crazy disease but cannot figure out how to press the big green button on the self parking lot gates to get a ticket.

we get cool people in as well, Some guy had me photocopy a 240 page handbook, which was cool cuz i just unbound it and threw in in the copier out back, tipped me $30.

but yea, this line of work is really cool meeting lots of interesting people, but sometimes it really makes me lose hope for humanity as a whole.

oh.

by the way.

Steve Jobs tipped $1
Sylvester Stallone tipped nothing.
Jerry Rice tipped $50
random nice old people tip $20 all the time.

SHIFT_*grind*

LOL

Working in restaurants, I can tell you that Sean Paul is pretty short in real life, and a cheap ass ($20 on a ~$200 tab). Ludacris isn't that tall either, but his bodyguard is fucking HUGE.

At the hotel I valeted at on the oceanfront, we had 3 lots. There was the lot right in front of the hotel, and 2 lots across the street where we parked cars when that filled up. There were 2 or 3 spots directly up front that were basically off limits (i.e. we controlled them, your car couldn't be there unless we parked it for you and kept the keys). This guy drives up in his brand new yellow Z06 (this is in '02 when they were hot shit), demanding to be able to park his car there. "OK, but we'll need to park it for you and keep the keys." "NO!!!! YOU'RE NOT PARKING MY CAR." Guy was SO paranoid about us driving his car 30 feet into a parking spot and hanging onto the keys, but he HAD to be able to park there. He was a real dick about it, too.

My seller review thread

I used to work as a temp at this company in orange that gave out freecreditreports to people for the first 30 days. After that, they would charge the yearly fee of 80 or 90 dollars.

People shopping online at the time (2000) were geniuses. They would give out their SS info, put their credit card info and forget the fact they are allowing to be charged at the end of the month. My job was to handle incoming calls, I went through about 200 a day.

The best ones were the ones where people called to cancel.

'I see here on my statement you guys charged me $$, Why are u charging me, I only wanted a free report'
'Ma'am this was a free report for 30 days after that we charge you for the year, it states that on the form you filled out while applying for it'
'I dont want this service. Please cancel it'
'Ok no problem, We can cancel it for you. Are you John Smith?'
'No that is my husband.'
'Im sorry, your husband would have to call and that is the only way we can cancel if the owner of the credit report calls'
'Well he cant call because we are getting divorced and bla bla bla..'
'Im sorry the only way i can cancel is if he calls in. This is our policy.'
This is where they get super angry and start cussing and go out of control.

I received tons of other calls where people would have no idea they would get charged and call us scammers. Im glad i left that job.
