"Some old woman has spoiled my night"

Just finished work, had to run the place myself. So I'm sending the papers back when a hospital person comes to till.

I scan her three items, give change etc and I head back over to do that papers.

I'm halfway there when she asks if I can put it in a bag for her. Even though there is bags right in front of her. So, I bite my tounge and put her stuff in a bag.

" Don't throw it at me "

I manage to stop myself smashing her face in and walk over to do my papers. She walks past me out the shop and says

" I'll tell your boss young man "

Then I nearly ran after her and butchered her to death.

Tell your boss you had diarrhea so you had to hurry !!!

People suck, its a thing you learn very early in life but especially once you're working. You should see what I have to deal with. One guy lived in a tent and he was always putting up near a school and stuff (no doubt we all know the reason why). Anyway, he went into the woods to go and abuse himself and when he got back, someone, probably some kids, had legged it with his tent.

He wanted us to pay for a new tent and we told him he could go stuff the idea (in the nicest possible way of course). He swore his head off at the girl dealing with him and she put the phone down. So he proceeded to smash up the bat phone he was on and got himself banned from the centre he was in.

Oh and in case you're wondering what a bat phone is - its the nickname we have for the phones that directly link us to the local job centre. So in case you haven't worked it out, I work for the DSS and help deal with loans and grants to unemployed/unemployable people. As such I get to deal with some of the biggest losers in the country.

Mind you, its the biggest losers that make the job pretty cool. Some of them are so thick that its actually really funny to look back on some of the requests.

Well, some woman with 1 hand tried to fob me off with about 100 obviously photocopied coupons. She bought gin and faggots.
Perhaps the greatest day of my life.

You should have told her that since you were the only person working at the time, you were in charge, and were infact the boss.
Then tell her that you don't have to serve her and that your boss is your dad and won't fire you anyway. Then tell her you've got a severe medical condition disability, and that you need the money to fund an operation in the US, as they don't do it in this country and that your'e really sorry but sometimes you forget to do things and have violent moodswings.

Then she'll leave.

What is it with old people today! They moan about the youth of today! And in fact the old people are the same if not worse

You should have asked her what she was going to tell him, then told her to stop being such a lazy b!tch and barred her from the shop.

At least when I deal with the public it's over the phone, and they need to help me a LOT more than I need to help them, otherwise they don't get their benefits.

Most are polite, some are absolute scum.

Heh sounds interesting.

I had some of the worst customers going when I used to be a waiter. That woman in your story is nothing. NOTHING! I've seen 'em all.
