    where i work you get in trouble if you dont ask to help EVERY single customer. its so stupid i feel like i get on everyones nerves.

    i think its only going to get worse to. companies everywhere have figured out that customer service is the #1 thing now and will compete with each other. which includes every worker every time they pass you saying "hi".

    Oh, that episode is on at least once a week. I mean, between TBS and WB39, thats 4 episodes of Seinfeld a day.

    And yes, I watch all 4 of them. Pretty pathetic.

    ask her if you can try it on in the changing room and then take a dump in the bag.

    Seriously though, i dont give a rats ass about womens bags, if they were so great, men would be carrying them.

    Replies I would have used:

    1) If I wasn't very smart, I guess I'd be working here with you.

    2) Why would I care whether a sales girl thinks I'm smart or not?

    3) If you think insulting my intellect will make me buy a bad, then you're not very smart.

    Not particularly creative, but it probably would have reddened her cheeks.

    Oddly enough, it seems like the more rude you are to salespeople, the more respectful they become.

    About 3 months ago I went with my mum to Big-W to look at the out door settings (Big-W is king of like K-Mart).


    Anyway she knew what she wanted and we had to walk around looking for someone to serve us.

    We finnally found some guy that worked there and asked him what the price of some outdoor chairs were. he spent the next 10 minutes removing chairs from the shelves and couldnt find the price.

    By the time I could tell this bloke was a jackass.

    So we asked if he could get a price check on this outdoor setting. he went away to find out.


    We waited there in the store for 10 minutes. We had to leave....it wasnt only ridiculous, but my Mum was very unwell with a broken rib and what would later turn out to be gall stones that she had removed a few weeks later.


    Anyway we went about shopping in this large shopping center. We were about to go home but saw these plants that my Mum liked and so we went back into Big-W.


    We're waiting in line and the checkout and this jackass that was serving us about 30 minutes ago comes up yelling "Thanks for waiting" at my sick Mum is a really sarcastic way.


    I totally lost it. My Mum was unwell, we'd put up with this dopey fool for long enough and then he comes up with this crap!



    I went ballistic. I said the F-Word more times then I care to imagine. This was in a crowded shopping center too but I was to enraged by then to care. He VERY quickly made and exit which was lucky for him.....


    We complained about this moron and the people that worked their knew all about him.

    But I swear I have never been so pissed off with a salesperson in my life. If he hadnt dissapeared so quickly I would have had no problems belting him.


    Anway after this happened it was good for a laugh. The guys crapped himself! :)

    I was checking out at a store and the clerk asked me my age. I told her 43 - at which she told me she was just checking to see if I was eligible for the senior citizen discount. I don't look that old! What an insult.

    Give your wife some cash and tell her to pick out a purse that she would like. Let her know you tried and what had happened. Women are real picky about purses and bags. Then go out and buy her a little something that would surprise her. She would like something like that........believe me....I know;)

    I remember when I was about 17 I was shopping with my family and I saw this really cool lighter that I wanted. I dont smoke....but this lighter had a cool looking blue flame that looked like a jet. :)

    Anyway Im standing next to my Mum and I put the lighter on the counter and have the money and the girl says "I cant sell you this because your under 18".

    My mum says "Im his mother" so the girl knew I wasnt under age and buying a lighter without someone knowing about it.

    The girl refused to sell me the lighter.

    So I push the lighter and the money 10cm's across the counter so its now infront of my mother.

    Now the purchase can be made! :D

    No, you know what is ridiculous is that when hurricane isabel hit us in VA, all the power was out, everyone was using candles and for themostpart candles were sold out. Well our lighter ran out of gas(ok ok i was playing with fire all day, hey i was bored). and I went to a gas station to get a lighter or two. Well I'm at the checkout and the person sellin it to me is lke do you have an ID, i was like why, she's like u have to be 18 to buy a Cigarette lighter. I was like its for a candle, THIS WHOLE STATE IS OUT OF POWER, WE NEEED TO LIGHT UP A CANDLE. shes like you cant buy a “cigarette lighter” if ur not 18. i was so pissed off, i dropped all my other stuff on the floor and was like do you have a lighter that is not made for cigarettes and flicked her off and left.

    conveniantley this was one of the only gastations open in the vicinity....

    o yea and the person at the checkout WAS the manager

    LOL....thats is a bad one!

    Im 23 now and get asked for ID all the time because I look young.

    I remember once I went to our local club. Our whole family was there for someones birthday.

    Anyway I was a member of this club and I had a card with my picture on it. I went out to the car to get something and when I come back the person at the door asked me for ID.

    So I pulled out the clubs membership card.....she looks at me, looks at the card and says "That doesnt look like you".



    What do you say to that? "Ah....it is me....." :D

    Luckly a few family members were near by and this person realised it wasnt worth the hassle and let me into the club.




    I have one rule in life.


    People are idiots.


    If you live by that rule you'll do just fine. ;)
