Hohohohohoho.
Last night, we were at the bar and noticed the new girl was serving. Now don't get too excited lads, shes 7ft tall and has an arched back. She comes over and sheepishly prompts us that she is ready to serve. I request my order and wait for it to register in her head.
Picking up the pint glass, she looks around for the pump (which was right next to where we was standing....) but she fails to see it and walks over to the other side of the bar.
On her return, my pint was topped with froth which had taken up quite a considerable amount of the drink. Obviously she hasn't been teached how to pour drinks properly. Most people would be annoyed at this point, but I perservered and gave her £2.50, expecting to receive 34p change.
She handed over £2.84.
Obviously in her travels she had forgotton to put the tender in the till and gave me back the money I'd just given her. Leaving me to have a free drink on the pub.
How great it is to be served by a first-timer.
Anyone had any similar experiences with having to deal with people who don't have a clue at work? I know its not their fault, but its still great.

We were once selling a drunk guy a ticket to a club (because we only had one ticket between all of us and the place looked crammed).
Anysway, he paid with a fiver and then tried to give us the £2 change.
I sort of took the fiver, gave him change (and made him keep his £2) to get this thing done with so we could move on.
My friend felt like I'd robbed him! :-D

the shcoked and stunned looks on my mates face said it all. I still get ribbed about it to this day.
Got similar yesterday. I'm a tall bloke. With a shaved head. The look on this biddies face as I waited to hold a door open for her was a joy to behold.

Once I used a £20 note to pay for something and I got the change for a £10 note. Then I complained, but everyone behind me in the queue started complaining that I was trying to get extra money. Got it back in the end though.
You're all very bad people, except for Panda who is a very impressive young man. Even I'd have considered taking the cash when the supervisor ballsed it up. Part of me would have wanted to tell him he was wrong and had made the exact same mistake as the new person though.

Mine is nothing compared to all of yours. But everytime I go into a local store, I get 15% staff discount, having never worked there. They dont even ask to see my staff card, which I wouldnt be able to show, but they just give it me.

Awww, softy. You should have asked for a guinness shandy. I've only ever seen one person manage it properly. They were sweating with it too.

AJ, I'll pay you £5 to eat my poop, or to make it an even harder challenge, a Pot Noodle.
In Boots I got change of €20 when Id handed in a fiver to pay for something that cost €1.30
Yeah, at a football match I paid -£3.50 for a match programme and food.
Crap quality of meal, but when I'm being paid to eat it that's fine by me.
