And over a flipping DOOR of all things. *shakes head*
Yesterday, I was working in the petrol station when the automatic door got stuck. The manager tried everything she could think of to get it working again; no joy. The only way to keep it open was to manually turn the key and hold it there; not really practical, seeing as my collegue who got stuck with the chore was supposed to be going home, and of course just like what always happens whenever you have a major problem, the customers were flooding in. -.-
So, there's just one thing to do; close the forecourt. The manager went to put the bollards up and I dealt with the remaining customers. We had to block off the exit too, after one doofus ignored the signs and barged in anyway.
Even after we put up a sign on the door telling people of the problem, we still had SCs banging on the glass and yelling at us.
Eventually, an engineer came out and fixed the door... but only after we'd had calls from Customer Services about SCs whinging about not being able to use their petrol coupons cuz they ran out today... it was fricking 3am. The door wasn't going to take 7 hours to fix, so they still would have time to use them; also, it's not the end of the world if you can't get £2 off your petrol cuz there's a techical fault.
I have been offered a permanent job over at petrol. Yes, I still want it.
