i just wanna punch some people

[Kyle]

for instance, here or some situations that piss me off at work........and what i actually wanna say.

-"oh well, i bought a gallon like this 10 years ago, and it was like $2 cheaper then"
-"no shit its more expensive.........its called a price increase........sorry your shit isnt the same price as it was back then."

what pisses me off most is when people dont like the color they picked, and try to return a gallon or more of it and try to pin it on us............"uh, we make fuckin samples for $5, thats kinda why theyre there dumbass."

or when some people walk in and think their shit dont stink.......they will actually cut in front of other people (contractors and DIY'ers) by walking around to our tinting/mixing area and do the "hey man, wanna throw 50 gallons together for me right quick, i'm in a hurry." "fu*k no, we've been open for 3 fuckin hours, shoulda got here earlier........wait in line like everyone else, bitch"

-"hey i'm painting my house, i'll need like 2 gallons, can i get contractors pricing?"
-"NO NO NO NO NO...............thats the whole fuckin point of contractor pricing."

-"i got this blue, and i want it green. can you make it green?"
-"no, theyre two totally different colors. give up and buy another gallon of paint"
-"well is there anything you can do?"
-"yeah, sell you another fuckin gallon of paint."

-"i want this paint, but i'm not paying this price."
-"too bad"

now, a majority of the people that come in are cool, and very nice people. but there are just some that are assholes..........in these above situations, the people are very disrespectful the moment they come in. i consider myself a fair person. if you are respectful, i can try to see what i can do......most of the time i can just give out a 15% discount card......which isnt enough for these people. they want gold for the price of dog shit. i realize i mix paint for a living, its not a high profile job, but at least treat me with some respect.

Anything customer service sucks ass. I get asked some of the stupidest shit when delivering someone's pizza.

Like..
"Hey man, that's not my pizza. Can I buy it from you?"
"No.....call in an order"
Or
"Hey can I get the employee discount?"
"Sure...when you get a job with us"

It gets worse, but i'm to tired to try and think of all the stupid things i've been asked before.

[SpectorV]

ah the world of customer service, I currently do not miss it.

[Brent]

I don't miss it one bit

[meteorachick]

oh man, i get stupid questions all the time working at friendlys (an ice cream restaurant--for those of u who don't know we have a main menu, then a huge ass ice cream part)...i love people who come in and ask for pudding, and get upset when we don't have it....

or when people ask for fanta instead of orange soda....GRRR

or my favorite "instead of fries, can i get a second sandwich, or a piece of steak?"

but the employees are not that much better...we had one girl, who when someone asked for coke cola classic, told the customer that we didn't have it because we only had regular coke...

..14. "Take your hands off the car, and I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document." (My personal favorite.)

..13. "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."

..12. "Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? In case you didn't know, that is the average speed of a 9 mm bullet fired from my gun."

..11. "So you don't know how fast you were going. I guess that means I can write anything I want on the ticket, huh?"

..10. "Yes, sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I am the shift supervisor?"

..9. "Warning? You want a warning? O.K., I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket."

..8. "The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not: Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"

..7. "Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy, and step in monkey DOO."

..6. "Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven."

..5. "No, sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to have quotas, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we want."

..4. "Just how big were those two beers?

..3. "In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC."

..2. "I'm glad to hear the Chief of Police is a good personal friend of yours. At least you know someone who can post your bail."
