  • First Complaint, Booyah

    Before I get to the complaint, allow me to get the small things done away with.

    Excuse me?

    Me: Will this be all for you tonight?
    SC: NO!
    Me: ........

    She never gave me anything else to scan and never asked for anything else. I'm still confused.

    Me: Do you have a [company] rewards card?
    Confused Person: Yes?
    Me: ..........

    They never give me those either...

    Norris

    Not sucky. Guy came in with the name Chris Norris. He told me he'd practice his round-house kick if he started getting Chuck's royalty checks.

    What Game Are We Playing?

    BG: We have three digit and four digit lottery games and sometimes people will just blurt numbers at you without you even being ready, it's like you're in the middle of a sentence and they're all like, "7896, fifty-fifty for tonight and tomorrow, blah blah blah"

    Me: Do you have a [company] rewards card?
    SC: xxx....xxx....xxxx.....
    Me: *scrambles to the lottery machine* xxx? and...xxx? errr...umm...
    SC: xxxx...xxxxx....xxx
    Me: *confused* Um...what game are we playing?
    SC: I ain't playin' no game, it's my rewards card!
    Me: We can't put those in manually.

    What really confused me was the fact that he MEMORIZED HIS REWARDS CARD NUMBER?! Like what??? Or maybe it was his phone number? We don't do that...

    COMPLAINT!

    So I'm still celebrating this even though it was totally bunk and corporate already called the guy to tell him he was wrong.

    So, background on the night it happened. It's about 8:15 and a suspicious car starts pumping gas on pump two. The store is empty. I call out to the car and say this (important story point here --->) "Pump 2 is on, please pay inside before moving your vehicle." Because it's a suspicious vehicle with some hinky customers, I say this line with a little bit of a threat behind the words. It doesn't work and around 8:22, they drive away without paying for their gas. I write it off as a drive off and go along my merry way.

    The next day we get an UBER LONG complaint that I will put segments of here (because I got a copy from my awesome manager! )

    Old guy had come in, gotten something, and his son met him at the store. They're chillin' outside in a parking space for a few minutes and quoted from the complaint, "...some snippy little girl came over the loud speaker telling us either to come inside or move our vehicle." He goes on to say, "Now I don't know how these kids are trained, but in my opinion calling a customer out over a loud speaker is not only cowardly but also poor business procedure."

    After that is some rant about how customers are a livelyhood of [company] and we should stop acting like they're a bother. What gets me is that he calls me cowardly but he never even bothered to come in and ask if I was even talking to him. Was he SCARED of my "snippy litte girl" attitude? It's not like I'm intimidating. I don't get it really, but obviously since he's the center of the universe, I couldn't possibly have been talking to anyone else.

    Flatter yourself all you want, old man, I don't babysit your ass when you're sitting outside chattin' it up with your son.

    We got a HUGE laugh out of it to be honest and I'm putting it right up on my wall because really, it's PRICELESS. Several employees are actually getting the assistant manager to print them out a copy because they found it so chuckle-worthy.

    Wow. I do believe all of that. Every word. And that's the problem.

        Sounds like an EW... He wants the whole world to revolve around him.

        Hopefully he never sets foot in your store, if he does, just tell him to go outside and move his car.

          Ok so wait a sec.... He drives off without paying? And then has the balls to come back and complain on you? And technically it doesn't sound to me like you did anything wrong at all. And then your manager just writes you up without even getting your side of the story? I would've refused to sign it because again, you didn't do anything wrong. The guy left without paying for his gas, so why should you get in trouble?
          Also he says he is a customer. Well in my experience buddy, if you steal then you are no longer a customer and we have a special name for shitheads like you, "thief".

            Sounds to me like it was another customer standing nearby who thought Gaki was talking to them instead. 'Cause, you know, they're the center of the universe, so if a voice comes over the loudspeaker it must be talking to them 'cause why would she need to converse with anyone else???

              Wait, what???

              This guy steals gas and corporate has his phone number and possibly (if the complaint came by mail) his address.

              Have the police been called yet? If not, why not?

                Sparky, its already been explained. The complaining customer was NOT the drive-off, he just happened to be loitering on the forecourt of the gas station at the same time as Gaki was speaking to the drive-off customer over the loudspeaker.

                  This.

                  The drive-off was actually two hinky-looking guys who were doing the whole "keep the car on and have one guy in the driver's seat and one guy pumping" thing. The guy who complained was a crotchety old man who wasn't even sitting at a pump.

                    Sounds like one to me too.
                    Congratulations on your first complaint, Gaki. There will be more and better, soon enough.
                    I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!
