Just be bloody patient, dammit!

This woman the other day just would not wait more than five seconds for her pump to be authorised. -,- She put the nozzle in her car, then whipped it out right away. Then she came into the shop to demand that her pump be turned on. Yeah, I'll turn it on if you leave the effing nozzle in your car for more than five seconds. She actually came in twice to bitch about her pump not being turned on. In the end, the CTS had to go out and tell the stupid bitch to put her nozzle in her car, and leave it the hell there. If she was in a hurry, then ironically she took longer by being idiotic than she would have done by being sensible. -.-

That's how it always is with rude customers. They think that they can complain their way to faster service, when instead it takes a lot longer due to their complaining.

[Gibbo]

We get people like that. Annoys the hell out of me.

It's the same method she uses for birth control.

At least she's not (I hope) passing on the stupid.

At least she's not (I hope) passing on the stupid.

Oh, but you KNOW she is.....

[Lace Neil Singer]

Maybe her husband puts it in for five seconds and then whips it out?

I can just imagine the audio track:

"Honey, are you done yet?"

"Aren't you done yet?"

"Jesus! Enough already! I'm leaving!"

That's how it always is with rude customers. They think that they can complain their way to faster service, when instead it takes a lot longer due to their complaining.

then they claim it's the "principle" of the thing which is why they're excused from spending hours complaining about others not being fast enough

My pet peeve works half the other way around. At my store, the back is the storage (logical) and as such, it also holds the pick-up counter. People who ordered something previously have to pass the cashier, pay in full and drive around the back and ring the (door)bell. To be fair, you can't hear the bell ringing and waiting there does make time seem to crawl to a standstill. So, because time does proceed naturally and the bell is very audible inside the store (there is not someone confined to the storage, we all have to sell and man the storage) we wrote above the doorbell "Ring once". Most customers do just ring once and chat among themselves for a while but some customers start ringing like they're in a hurry. So when I get to these customers, I treat them like they are in a hurry. They'll have their products whisked to them in such a hurry they can't keep up and they're left watching the doors close before they've even figured out how to pack it in their car. While they spend time trying to figure that out, I'm free to help others or do my things.
So in the end, it's half like miss Kojiro wrote, but the half that does take longer is shared by the customer alone and the "hurry up and be done"-part is mine. Life is good in that way

I can see having to buy gas in a hurry (not that is excuses being a douche), but people will do anything when they're short on time.

"Man I need to get to that appointment. Well, I should probably buy that giant entertainment center first."
