Work was fine as usual yesterday. Had a few mild rushes, but they were all pretty understanding. No major complaints from anyone. I did have one gentleman become quite confuddled when he couldn't find the rest of his change. It was partially my fault since I'd placed the reciepts over the bills (it changes how I hand back changes, sometimes the ( Read more... )

Work went well enough, save for this one customer who wasn't exactly obnoxious, just annoying. He'd ordered one of our sandwiches and had brought it back twice, claiming it was cold, or 'raw' as he put it. I think I may as well have set it on fire in front of him before he was satisfied.

I hate the drink itself, but it's such fun ( Read more... )

They have this article about poor service from clerks in stores and how to 'handle' the 'problems' that arise. Most of them are eh, not too annoying, but THIS one takes the cake:

Answering the phone. "We're ALREADY in the store!" blogger "Phil801" writes. "You've won our business already! Take care of us!" His tongue-in-cheek solution? While ( Read more... )

I've never had a night drag as much as it did tonight. It was ridiculous. How is it the days pass so quickly, yet the nights drag like a quadrepalegic in a pool of molasses? Sense. It makes none ( Read more... )
