General Ignorance

[Confused_Corvid]

Ok, first post, tis a bit of a doozie.
So, today, was working a 9-4 overtime shift on trollies.

First thing i had to do, was fish a rack of 10 trollies, all of which had their wheels locked and were upside down, out of a hedge. In torrential rain.

Half way through doing this, a customer comes up behind me and starts ranting at me, telling me to, and i quote, "Stop pratting around!", and that it was a bloody disgrace that the company i work for is employing people to play in bushes.

"What? I don't work here."

Wonder what his reaction would be if you said, "Fine your hired now you do it"

So the idiot is out in the torrential rain, beratting you? Wow, he/she definately had nothing better to do.

Too bad the person wasn't good looking or else you could offer a good seeing too in the bushes

Too bad General Ignorance can't be introduced to Corporal Punishment.

Ah, but the arrival of General Ignorance does tend to lead to an appearance of Major Disaster.

Oh, today it got even more fun. The ticket machines in the carpark are a little old, and occasionally something goes wrong.

Today, they ALL went wrong.

I was dragging a wrack of about 15 trollies accross the carpark when some woman comes over, flailing her arms and ranting about the ticket machines, and yells at me "You! You work here! Fix the machines!"

me: "I can't madam, i'm not trained to fix them, besides, this carpark belongs to the council, and it is therefore their responsibility to fix them."

customer: "I don't care about that! Fix the machines!"

me: "I Can't. If you have a problem with that, take it up with customer services. All that they'll do is say exactly what i've just said."

customer: "I don't have time for your stupid games! Just fix the machines!"

me: "Madam, Go To Customer Services."

At this point, she storms back to her car and drives off.

Throw a cart at 'em.

I.....

I....

Yeah, no words for the stupidity.

Congrats. You broke my words.

...me: "Madam, Go To Customer Services."

Customer Services = Hell

[protege]

Retail and/or work in general = Hell

Fixed that for you

Ok this one is more general shittyness than ignorance, but yesterday, whilst working the one hour i managed to do what i'd signed up for overtime to do (checkouts), i had a rather unpleasent bitch of a customer. She and her spawn spent the whole time they were at my checkout snapping at me, for no reason other than they could. (How vile a person do you have to be to make your 2 year old as shitty to people as you are?)
The woman then attempted to make a joke and acted all surprised when i looked at her in a way that said "Just pay and fuck off!"
She then muttered something about me lacking festive spirit.
I have festive spirit, I JUST FRICKING HATE RUDE CUSTOMERS!

Pretty vile, but unfortunately, there are an awful lot of vile people out there who think retail workers are subhuman robots not even worthy of basic courtesy.

I guess in her mind, "festive spirit" = "putting up with other people's vicious bullshit".
