I can see her point.
I really dont get why some places make their water so damn hot.
I'm ordering a drink. It would be nice if I could actually drink it within the next hour without burning my mouth.

True story, I am mid-20s, i dont look anywhere near 18 years old.
I went to Shopper's on "cambie" & "no. 4 or 5" to purchase some cigarettes.
I was in work uniform and the clerk ask for my ID, fair enough, I showed her BC Driver License, she stated it is fake.
I then showed her my carecard, visa, old student ID. "FAKE" she said..
At that point i was fucking angry and i wanna lit up a smoke, and i asked for their store manager.
"im the store manager" she said.
i told her i wanted to see her boss, but she refuses.... at this point, the line up was crazy and my lunch break is over... i left there and never go back again.

I've had a lot of horrible/hilarious experiences with customers over years of work...

but a funny one from when I was at Wal-Mart, I asked an employee where the cutlery is... their response: i don't know what that is.

employee was totally Canadian mid-20s female... my boyfriend and I were just like... wtf?

I had a shit job selling bulk meat on the phone.

I call this one guy who was slurring his words and starts yelling at me for interrupting his precious Saturday and what the fuck did I think I was doing, and who the fuck did I think I was and then to go fuck myself and hung up on me.

I wait a sec, smile, hit redial and say, "I'm sorry sir, I think we were disconnected. AS I was saying..."

I learned some new swear words and laughed like crazy. The office thought I lost it.

achiam 05-15-2009 11:04 PM

Oh ya, another funny one.
My buddy's brother back in the day worked at Lordco.
He said sometimes elderly guys or dumb sounding guys would call asking for whatever engine part, and he'd throw in all these unrelated questions like "what color is your Chevy truck?" and he said this one old dood was like, "Yeah its Silver, but kind of a dark gray silver" in relation to a request for a new water pump

i don't think anything beats working in fastfood. i worked at mcd's before, here we go:

A lady asked me for a cheeseburger without cheese. so i said to her, "so a hamburger... " and she replies "NO, i said a CHEESEBURGER without CHEESE." and she was DEAD SERIOUS about it.

Cheapest family in the world actually crammed their fries to the bottom of the box and asked my supervisor to top it off. He went to the walk-in freezer to scream for a few minutes after that.

I had about 20 cars lined up in the drive-thru and was forced to multi-task, taking orders while handing out food. i just handed out the food to a family and was taking the next order. to my surprise they were still there waiting for something... they wanted ketchup. i grabbed the biggest load of ketchup packs i could with one hand and the entire car of chinese ppl said "WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!". All i could think of at that point was GTFO OF HERE.

Supervisors loved me because i had a knack for charging ppl for sauces. if you were rude to me, i would charge you the obligatory $0.10 for sauces. One lady literally complained to me, THIS IS ALL I GET FOR $0.10? to which i replied, "yup! so with taxes that comes to $0.11"

A kid on the slide literally stood up and pissed at the end of the slide. Parents did nothing, said nothing.

probably tons more... just can't recall since its been so many years... and don't get me started on value village experiences.

1) I want to hear about Value Village. The types of people who frequent those stores must be awesome

2) Fuck parents like that. I fucking hate when parents encourage stupid behavior like that. I was driving along Kingsway and was stopped in traffic near the Honolulu Cafe when I saw a kid come out of one of the grocery stores being led by his parents. He was holding his crotch like he had to take a leak.

His parents pulled down his pants and let him piss into traffic. Like he was standing on the sidewalk pissing into the street.

What the fuck?!

At the skytrain station one time. I saw a couple from some other country (i assumed this cause they didnt speak english very well, had a map of vancouver and some giant hiking bags and stuff.

so they go up the ticket machines and go start talking to it "2 adults please." then throw the money on the ground infront of it. Then they started looking around the machine and on the sides to see where the ticket prints lol
TOO FUNNY :lol

Too bad he's not getting residuals for it, he'd be a millionaire on from RS alone.

True story

customer "Hi is that tuna sushi?"

busser "No that is not tuna sushi."

busser points towards salmon sushi and tells customer "that is tuna sushi"

customer "NO that is salmon sushi"

I was laughing so hard at the back.

The lady came in, to ask if we could fix her flat tire. When we walked outside we told her, "what tire?"
She goes to respond, "what do you mean? is it fixable?"

So, let me get this straight. You're saying this cannot be plugged? How is that true service? :thumbsup:
