  • Sorry your attempt to patronise me failed.

    This woman comes up to the till to pay for her petrol. She tells me the pump number; I repeat it and tell her the total.

    SC: (In slow and condescending tones) Um, that's not my petrol. My petrol is pump four and the total is fifty pounds.

    Me: That's what I just said; pump four and fifty pounds. Sorry you didn't hear me correctly. (Smiles brightly, uses polite and civil tone of voice)

    SC: (In a huff) No need for that. (Mutters to herself not quite under her breath for the rest of the transaction) I can't believe these people, I made a simple mistake, can't they let it go? (rinse, wash, repeat til she leaves).

    I'm terribly sorry that your attempt to make me look stupid kinda blew up in your face.

    Of course. The customer is always allowed to treat you like shit. But if you turn around and politely point out their failure it's you who needs the attitude adjustment.

        Well, that may go someway to explaining their behavior - they are wrong so often, they take it out on the nearest target

            It's even better when you're nice and polite thruout, so they can't turn round and make a fuss. XD
