Ever got notes left by customers?

[Can I have a cheeseburger]

A year ago I bussed a table where two young men had been sitting eating lasagna, which was barely eaten and had been sitting for some time. On a napkin there was a very neatly written note, that read as follows:

"It takes the human body 4 hours to produce excrement. It took your cooks 20 minutes."

I'm not a fan of our lasagna either, but if you don't like something, you can talk to us, get your money back and get something else! Funny how those SCs got themselves screwed.

I only remember one from my retail hell days. The courtesy desk clerk was running low on $10 bills, so had taped a note to the counter stating that we need $10 bills. Someone had written on the note, 'so do I!' I suppose they thought they were being funny, but I personally found it rather immature. But then again, these are SCs we are talking about who do these things. Immaturity is one of the things that make them SCs, right?

We had a sign in our fitting room that stated "For the convience of other customers, please place unwanted items on the rack as you leave."

Some ass wrote "nope, I don't work here."

Just as bad is when someone thinks it's funny to deface a public sign like this.

Why yes, yes I have.

We had been running a big special on a certain kind of laundry detergent and it sold out. In its empty shelf space somebody left a note reading "Why do you advertise items and not have them in stock?"

Umm...I'm going to take a wild guess here and say it's because other people bought up our entire stock before a new shipment of that detergent came in to replenish it.

Yes, people buy things! In a store, of all places! Will wonders never cease?

"It takes the human body 4 hours to produce excrement. It took your cooks 20 minutes."

Though leaving a note with uneaten food is certainly not an appropriate way to complain about the cooking, I have to say that was a clever way to say it. I like the phrase. I don't like the approach.

Once I has a lady ask me to go with her to her car to help unload her groceries. NOTE: This was at night, dark out. we have enough lighting in out lot to make it like near daylight near the posts, we use Metal-halide lights which produce the white light, not the orange glow.) I unload her groceries and she hands me a note.

It read (hand written) "To the store manager, ________ was very nice in assisting me to the _____ parking lot to unload my items. As a women I am very vulnerable to attackers and you employees action were very helpful in easing my nerves.....it continued on for about 500-700 words about how only women are vulnerable, how we need to escort our female employees out at night and contained the amazing statistic "a study discovered that 93% of all females were abused in parking lots." we had a lough at that. Yes bad people exsiost but I doubt 97% of females in parking lots at night are carjacked and mugged or whatever.

Roan's grassy.....wtf is that third word supposed to be?

Roan's grassy.....wtf is that third word supposed to be?

Balds, I suspect.

Roan's grassy.....wtf is that third word supposed to be?

A quick Google search revealed:

The Highlands of Roan. Located on the North Carolina/Tennessee line, this is one of the most remarkable places on earth. Its grassy bald mountaintops and spruce/fir forests are among the rarest of rare biological communities, and are of global – not just national – significance.

This is a note written by an sc on the bathroom chart in the men's room. The bathroom chart is supposed to log and show who cleaned the bathroom, when it was done, and what was done.


You need to clean your bathroom. It smells like shit up in here. NO one wants to smell ass. (customer note) (another note: it WAS CLEANED just before the note was written so there was no smell)

This was the response that was written on there:

Use airfreshner when you use the toilet then. we clean our toilets/bathrooms. If you don't like it take it up with management. Or eat less spicy foods

the response to that little snippet was a big F*CK YOU! lovingly written by the customer.

Lot of people leave behinds notes, though we assume they were meant for Jesus, the FBI or e.t.s.

"Ever got notes left by customers?"

Yep!

Even better when said note is written so poorly that it could not be taken seriously even if I was threatened at gunpoint!

OK, 'balds' was the word my brain supplied, I just could not reconcile it with the sentence. That makes sense now.

For anyone questioning what the "assy balls" is supposed to be, it's supposed to be grassy balds. I currently not real far from Roan Mountain. The last couple of times I visited the Rhododendron Garden at the top, that sign was still defaced.

Tigress, what's the story behind the note in your picture?
