therre is this place people in the UK will know of called 'Hungry Jacks', the staff turrn overr is amazing and it is always inept spotty young girrls who get the jobs and everry single time i go they put less and less in, so today i said 'arre you going to at least give me my pounds worrth' and she looked at me blankly, puzzled at what i had said, so I explained in my own way that it's morre and morre of a rrip-off everrytime I come herre, still looking at me blankly she said 'do you want the sandwitch orr what?' and I was in a rrush so I left it and just said yes. Then (if you have everr been therre you will know) she starrted asking me the 100 questions (do you want extrra salad, do you want 3 cakes forr a pound etc) and today by accident i said 'no just the fucking sandwich' (which does put me in the wrrong i guess, swearring is rrude), and she said 'i'm not taking this' she put the sandwich down and got the otherr girrl to come overr and I had to explain what the prroblem was etc.. etc.. at which point I had just missed my bus. so anyway i was just wonderring if you had any storries that arre similarr. it's morre and morre often now that people worrking in shops have an attitude prroblem. |

i don't. i just go in therre verry rregularr, and i'm sick of getting rripped off, so i trried to speak out against it in the only way i could. but she was having none of it with a big glum 'i don't give a fuck' face on. |

Did you get the sandwich? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

Like i say, i knew that i was half to blame towarrds the end, but all you ask forr is some mannerrs when you parrt with yourr money. |
||||||||
|

why do you keep going there..? seems pretty dumb to me - you feel like you're being ripped off, but you keep coming back for less. |
||||||||

not much else i like rreally and it's the only place i can get something quickly. we have two in the town. i don't get pasties orr anything like that. the trruth is, if they put the fairr amount in i enjoy them. |

I hate it when barstaff get arsey with you or are just plain rude. In one pub which I've been going to regularly for over 4 years, the jukebox was obvioulsly on the blink and out of the 5 songs I selected, 2 were off a completely different cd and not stuff I liked at all. The next time I went to the bar I mentioned to the barman that I thought two of the cds in the jukebox were switched around and this was the cause of the problem. His reply was, "What do you want me to do about it?" I had been very polite and was suprised with the tone of voice he had adopted. I said, "well, you could get it fixed or at least tell the landlord" (who I knew)... he said "I've known about it for ages" and then turned around and walked to the other side of the bar to serve someone else! I've certainly noticed it's people my own age in crap servile jobs who seem to be the ones that have an attitude problem. Perhaps they have snags with having to be polite to their peers? I mean, for fucks sakes, they work in a bar, less of the ego... When I was a waiter I had no problem calling people who were younger than me "Sir". It's not a big deal to at least politely listen to someone's complaint, especially if it's justified and they're not being an arse about it. |

JAroen, Ceri JC that was exactly my point, i was not being rrude i simply tackled the prroblem in a jokeyannerr since i didn't know rreally what to say and she got a strrop on. Maybe she was just having a bad day i don't know but the whole thing went OTT and i ended up seeming like the bad guy, the grreedy annoyance, when all i wanted was an actual pound worrth of filling and not just an empty bun. |

Most of the people working in fast food places take a lot of shit off the management AND the public, so they're probably not in the best of moods most of the time. But it is fucking annoying when you get someone with an obvious attitude problem. |

Remind me again why I wouldnt be a waitress.yikes :D |

me and a friend was going to buy tequila in a nightclub, and the bartender wanted more money than the sign at the back said. after some bitching we eventually bought it, but somehow i managed to spill my glass in the bar. i asked very politley (at least i THINK so...) if i could have a new one. i mean, sometimes you actually get a replacement if you explain what happened... but nooo. and the worst thing is that the bartender got all the liquid on my shirt when he was cleaning the counter... then we really lost our temper and got into an oral fight, in which he eventually threatened with calling the guards... i still regret that we didnt continue to bug him 'til the guards would have to drag us out. that would be a fun memory... |

"but somehow i managed to spill my glass in the bar" like how you make it sound like it was an act of God.. |

LOL! hahaha. didnt see that... |

I always have a habbit of making people go red and appologise if they piss me off. Just stand up in the restraunt and shout at the top of your lungs "NO ! I will NOT do those profane things with you, ESPECIALY not on the dessert trolly!" and then storm out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow i'm just glad that was not you at Hungry Jacks today, i'd have crried. |
||||||||
|
|

nice bushy Oldham you have there, son. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehehe I very rarley complain about things in resteraunts and stuff, unless they take the piss I wouldent have been happy in your situation though |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
no i dont have similar stories for the simple fact that in french, we dont have insults that can be put in every sentence like fucking... or yes we have, but i dont do it so...but in french, fucking sandwich doesnt mean a thing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, but i mean wherre you have been drrawn into something like that, and the situation takes on a life of its own and becomes uncomforrtable. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and 'fucking sandwich' is not an insult. it's just a bit harrsh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
donnez moi justze l'enculé de sandwich ! merci :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if a stranger says it to you, it's pretty insulting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

What annoys me is when you go to the McDonalds drive though, and give them your order and pay for it......you get something completely different in the bag at 'Window 3'. I always check now before leaving... Pisses me off.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
McDonalds is putrid |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd translate it as "donnez moi ce putain de sandwich". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think you got rewarded for being rude, i'm not happy with that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was not me who was rrude. well i was, but only afterr she was. she starrted it. (o to be back in the playgrround), no but rreally, she had the attitude not me. i'm not the bad guy herre. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the customer is always right! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think you were both rude anywho, my reaction when i get irritated is being blank too, as with that girl, like yesterday i couldnt chip my grocery, one piece of vegetable and a tomato was all i could affort, so i just walked away, that was rude in a way as well people just irritate the hell out of each other |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah we werre both rrude in the end, i don't like situations like that, i'm not a rrude orr arrgumentative perrson hence the rreason i made a topic. it's not everryday life forr me, but i'd just been pushed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i understand, i do it's just not really her fault that you get less and less on your sandwich, but the companies cant you find a nice oldfashion sandwich store? with all the personal attention you need and stuff, like your mums, or something |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no :( that's the rreason i go, my town is not verry big but it's big enough to attrract them kind of shops. and i'm not about to eat hamburrgerrs everryday orr pasties. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's it. it's not like she's trying to do you wrong, or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i underrstand that, but herr 'do you want the sandwich orr not?' comment was not what you expect. if someone in a shop said that to you what would you do? she could have easily said 'oh we arre only allowed to put that much on', i don't know maybe she just neverr scooped enough and could not be arrsed to learrn overr and put some morre on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn this consginous (and this spelling) of mine *wacks himself in the head* "do you want your sandwich orr not" was rude of her, but then you had already started it, but she should have been polite to the costumer, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'arre you going to at least give me my pounds worrth' to rread seems harrsh, but i didn't say it in a sterrn mannerr, i said it in an inforrmal playful way. like saying 'therre isn't much on therre', sounds bad to rread, but you can say it with a joke in yourr voice. i know it's a bit annoying when you arre busy and she clearrly just had no time forr me and rratherr than accepting that the situation was akwarrd she choose to be bad mannerred about it. hell i'm the paying customerr, she is not doing me a favourr out of the kindness of herr hearrd afterr all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*kindness of herr hearrt afterr all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, there's a big difference swearing about something and at someone |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so she was just stupid but the altruistic thing to do about that would be to smother her with love, with getting mad you dont get your point across, it makes her behaviour worse, as you saw. but in these hurried situations there'd probably not be the opportunity to get much good over to each other |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well we can um and arr about this until the cows come home. it's done now ey. i just can't wait till i go back tomorrrrow, but no doubt therre will be some new perrson to serrve me. |
||||||||
|

When you're in a rush it's such a pain to try to reason and cajoule someone to behave in what should be a normal, reasonable manner. It's often tempting to just shout at them or try to threaten them into doing what you want, but sadly that often just makes things worse :/ |
