How amusing and how well put! ha ha..Customers are such strange creatures aren't they?
I was once browsing in a rather 'top notch' Department Store in London when an oldish gent approached me with his wife and asked where the toilets were. I responded that I had no idea - to which he launched into " oh for christ sake - you stand here all day and don't know where the toilets are?". "No, actually I don't work here - I'm on my lunch break from an office nearby".
Well - after an embarassing few minutes of apologies from him and his extremely red faced wife I was allowed to leave.
My point is that (and also reinforced by my first real job as purser on a cruise ship) people lose their minds when they are 'customers' or 'clients' as do some snooty shop assistants in uptown stores.
Drop the attitude you're only a customer and visa versa although I think the former is much more common.
I applaud you for your patience as I still do to myself every time I have to deal with "all fur coat and no knickers" - ha ha - I'm on Chardonnay again take no notice!!
Welcome to retail.... full moon style!
The benefits, remember the benefits.
If only we had the power to magically set certain people on fire.
aahhh dealing with the public
is always such fun.
Hope today is more "normal" LOL
Sometimes I just hate retail....
I work at a farm, garden, and pet supply store for the hell of it, on weekends. Ok, my cousin owns the joint, so I only work with her and we laugh and giggle a lot. What I hate is when men come in to look for fertilizer, talk to us for advice, leave the counter and then go and ask the stock boys for it. OK, the stock guys have no earthy idea, I have been there for 15 years, I think I might know what I am talking about. It is soooo funny. My cousin and I have a great time laughing at the fools.
Enjoy the public......
Love,
Mary
Remember sir, "the customer is always right", except when he's wrong!
I would have told your lovely gentleman to "go f##k himself" which is why I don't work in sales!
You will do well... you are much more civilized than I.........
And remember,it's all about benefits!
rushing is bad.
Both of my son's have worked customer service for an alarm company, along with my newest daughter-in-law. When they start comparing call stories, they can go for hours...
So someday, along with that book of your amazing life, you'll be able to write a droll volume of humourous anecdotes to find it's way onto the Times bestseller list as well!

ROFLMAO, STB! Can't help it - this one was funny!
How I loathe the general public.
They just don't get it.
And most of them voted for Bush.
So tragic...
But keep smiling and be all that you can be.
Oh wait. You went back to work, you didn't join the army.
There's a joke there somewhere, but I'm too tired to find it.
As soon as I win the lottery or a rich relative dies, I'll let you know and you can give your two week notice.

Welcome to my world babe! My customers say the same things.
"But I use my phone for BUSINESS!!" Who knew crack could be so lucrative I often think. The ones who scream that the loudest usually reek of smoke, missing a tooth somewhere and have various tattoos.
Welcome to the world of public servantry LOL
