I've never worked behind a counter. I have however been frequently abused by other customers who thought I would just let them jump the queue, take ages at the counter or just generally be tossers. As I'm sure most other people here have.
Ronnie is victorious, vivacious in victory like a venomous dog. Vile Republicans cease living while the religious retort with rueful rhetoric. These rank thugs resort to violence and swear revenge.
But Ronnie can punch through steel so they lose anyway.

I love this thread 
Some of the stuff I have heard from customers over the last 5 years is fantastic. I find studying law especially useful and I delight in telling w*nkers that think they know all about their rights where to go

Do you realise when you and Sput (impoverished law student) get together (it's arranged already) the entire forum (including JM and his 57 clones) will turn up to bless the event.Alarsne53 wrote:I love this thread

Fantastic example the other day.
In the hotel I work at, if you don't turn up by around 3am, you are considered to be a no-show and as such your room is made available again in case of walk-ins or extra guests from conferences and/or functions.
Now the gentleman in question reserved the room for Tuesday night to Friday morning. However he turned up Wednesday morning, thus becoming a no-show. However, he was peturbed to find this out, insisting that the room should have been kept as he had "guaranteed it on his credit card." Myself and my colleague attempted to explain the whole night audit and cashiering processes, but his small angry brain wouldn't take this in.
Eventually we managed to cancel his initial reservation and make him a new one, but not after he had phoned his company office and badmouthed us for five minutes while we wrestled with the computer.
However we had the last laugh as we re-allocated him from a room on the ground floor to one on floor 4.

Ha. Never saw this thread originally, as I was away from the premises at the time.
Well, definitely brings back memories of working for my local Sainsbury's, which I managed to stick for six years. I can identify with many of the examples that were brought up. Whilst on one hand I didn't dislike my job at the time, looking back on it all I can think of are the negative aspects, which, although they made up a small percentage of my time there, are unfortunately those which stick in my mind.
There's really nothing like working at the shop floor level in retail, or similar, to open your eyes to the general public.
I've been working at a university since June, so now I specialise in students (& academics), which, since they came back/started last week, are proving to be something else entirely.

Ahh, I mis-read it as being they had changed him from the 4th Floor to the Ground Floor.
I'll go and sit in the corner facing the wall for a while in utter shame

So how do wheelchair users get from the ground floor to 1st floor?
