    Imaginary complaint

    This I don't get. A woman rang up to complain that she'd come into the petrol station and asked for help to use the air pump, and every single person working there refused to help her. She demanded a manager call her back, or else she's taking it to the press. Only problem with that is... her complaint doesn't exist. You see, I was working on the day in question and so was my manager, and neither of us can even remember her. O_o Either the customer is mixing us up with another petrol station, is making shit up to get free stuff, or is in the throes of advanced madness. So basically, we're ignoring it. I doubt the local paper will be interested in the insane babblings of a woman convinced that an event happened when it didn't.

    No, no, she WAS there. But YOU didn't go out to the air pump to help her despite her never coming inside, so how DARE you refuse to help with her telepathic commands!

    Customer be crazy.

        This is the kind of person that reporters tell, "Yes, ma'am, that's very interesting. We'll let you know if we decide to do a story on it." Then they "lose" her phone number.
        When you start at zero, everything's progress.

          I get the feeling that when the guy manning the metro desk looks at the caller ID and sees HER number come up, he can only think, "Her again? Why me!" while reaching for that bottle of scotch squirreled away in the bottom drawer.

            Well sure... every single person that she encountered working there -- which equals ZERO workers -- refused to help her. Zero is a number, and, to her, that's somehow enough.

              OR the 'refusal' came in the form of "Certainly, ma'am. Just let me finish ringing up this customer, then I'll be out."

              3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
              4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

                Then after she's safely out the door, they tell all their coworkers about the loony who just came in and everybody has a good laugh.

                Seriously, no paper worth anything will even consider that to be newsworthy. You don't like the help (or non-help) you got at a specific business? Don't go back.

                  Nah, she asked the nearest customers to help her, and then wouldn't believe them when they said they didn't work there.

                    Lol, could be any of those. xD Anyway, we've heard nothing back... so far.

                      Well if you want to get technical, zero actually isn't a number, it's a "place holder".

                      At least that's what my chem teachers and professor taught me.

                        Update: Nothing, nada, zero. XD Well, cept that one of my co-workers has a mate who works on the local paper and apparently this woman did try and sell her story. But no-one was interested; her "story" ended up being filed straight into the bin, and everyone in the office had a good laugh.

                          Why isn't that a surprise?

                            Why sucky customers think that their story is news worthy... I do not get.

                              Probably the same reason they call (or threaten to call) the police--some seem to think the media will gladly act as their personal bullies.
