This is a test to determine whether you (or anyone else) is an SC. The lower your score, the better customer you are. Now begin.
1-The cashier (or whoever you are paying) has made a mistake and overcharged you. Do you:
a) calmly point out the error and politely inform them what the price should be (or if it is an insignificant amount, let it go)
b) scream at the cashier belittling them for their error and embarassing them for being human.
2-You have been undercharged for something. Do you
a) be honest and point out the error, and agree to pay for it
b) leave the store and ignore the error
That is to say, if you even notice the error.
3-You have made a mess in the store (in a number of non-specific ways.) Do you
a) let an employee know and/or clean it up
b) ignore it and leave the mess for someone else to clean up
4-You forget something while you are checking out. Do you:
a) volunteer to step out of line to get the item
b) act like you are entitled to go and get it and keep your place in line.
c) ask an employee politely to get it for you, so you can keep your place in line.
5-You are in an express line with a line of people behind you, and you have more than the allowed number of items. Do you:
a) move to another line which has no restrictions
b) glare at people and refuse to move, or demand that another register be opened.
c) continue and hope nobody notices.
6-You are made aware that there is a malfunction with the register you are at. When asked to move do you:
a) move to the other register without complaint
b) make a big fuss about the inconvenience of having to move 10 feet
7-You have seen someone physically or emotionally harassing a worker. Do you:
a) become a bodyguard, or defend the worker in any way.
b) join in
c) ignore it
8-Your child begins to throw a tantrum in the store. Do you:
a) leave with the child and try to calm him down outside
b) ignore the tantrum until it bothers everyone around
c) try and calm the child while in the store
9-You come into the store during its busiest time, and decide to shop anyways. When you naturally encounter lines at checkout do you:
a) figure that it is your fault for shopping when it is busy and wait
b) bitch at the cashier or manager to open more registers
10-In a restaurant, your food was prepared incorrectly, or the wrong meal was brought. Do you:
a) either politely ask for a change of the meal to what you wanted, or eat it anyways
b) demand that your whole party's meal be comped because of the mistake
c) ask that your meal be discounted because you were forced to delay eating.
Give yourself 1 point for every B answer. Subtract a point for an A answer. C answers are neutral.
-10 to -8: You are a perfect customer. You will never be written about on this site
-4 to -8: You make the occasional mistake but are overall an okay customer
-3 to 1: You have made mistakes in the past, but can see the errors of your ways. Fix it so you don't become higher.
2 to 7: You have caused a lot of people headaches in this business, but there is something there that you can build on. Work on changing your B answers to A.
8-10: You are a PITA customer who is always written about on this site. Workers cringe when they see you. There is no help for you without a COMPLETE about-face.
Hope everyone here got -8 to -10!!
*MOD EDIT - Please, just post your score. This thread is going to get really huge if everyone posts the entire quiz as a quote with their answers.
