Things that baffle you Page 5
Oh calm your face. I'm only pretend mean.
And I'm pretend outraged. Like Michael McIntyre talking about spices.
Quote: john lucas 101 @ September 7 2010, 1:36 PM BSTHaving worked in retail for six years, very often the staff are turned rude by the rudeness/utterthickness of the customers. So many people when they become 'a customer' leave their flippin' brains at the door.
I've worked in retail for 5 years (temp jobs throughout my education) and was never rude. In fact, I won prizes for my excellent customer service AND I worked in a fecking phone shop where customers are the worst.
I think if you let the customers wear you down - you will become rude. I just rose above it.
I'll put you in the Axe thread if you start quoting McIntyre.

Oooh me too (apart from the phone shop part). Also, it's so much more satisfying to be unwaveryingly polite to someone who's being awful to you. Especially if you are explaining to them at the time why they are wrong, and you are a better human being.

just the sweetest guy on this forum. He can hurt me so much with just an imagined smile and wink. That razor sharp wit, the phenomenal brain, even the dyslexiA. He's like a child of Stephen Fry, David Mitchell, Shakespeare and Godzilla. He makes me wish I was gay and a bloke so I could fancy him all the more.
That's all he is..no one important. My sweet, sweet nemesis.
Crikey!

I didn't. In the last two or three years at Our Price, I was kept in the back like a gimp. I wasn't allowed near the customers. Just in case.
Actually, all the girls I worked with were much more polite and professional. And the other men. But the girlies were generally much more tolerant.

I'm getting it on a tshirt and wearing it to the meet.
It's the same reason women make better astronauts and submarineers.
They're smaller and get on better than blokes.
According to NASA research any how.

Oh dear Ellie and about half a dozen others wore that Tshirt last year.
There was quite a punch up.

We did. And I won!
Yeh you've got quite the fists of fury.
I'm sure my nose was on the front of my head before the meet.
It was up Aaron's bum by the end.

There's far too many TV programmes and websites out there to 'empower' the consumer, and none to defend the seller.
