I'm at my wits end!

I was at work good friday all I got was phone calls asking "are you open?".

Hmm if we weren't would we answer the phone?

I also met the person who was the Epitome of laziness, they were standing in a long queue at the checkout with one Item and the following conversation took place:

Me: Why don't you go to the cigarette kiosk there is no queue there?
Lady: Because I cant get my shopping packed there

She had one Item.

Early morning Easter monday 9 phone calls all in a row asking the same thing - "are you open"?

We have a giant board with our opening hours on it outside.

and a posh guy threatened to hit the manager because we didn't have any turkeys or his special type of Cigar we had "Promised" to order in apparently. He thought people were going to pinch his card pin number as the cash machine is under a security camera.

I remember one day when I was at my dads shop, helping him out, keeping the customers happy. There was a sudden break in the line of customers where nobody came in the shop, and it was around closing time, so we started to pack all the stuff in for the night. Everything is away then, and we leave the shop and lock the door. I get into my dads van so that we can go home. My dad opens the van door to let himself in, when a passing woman sees us and says, "Oh sorry. Are you still open?" She manages to get my dad to re-open after a short row and comes out with a punnet of strawberries, an onion and some flippin' bananas. All that trouble for just THAT!

Damn I was peed off.

i know i hate these people who assume you are evil and are out to get there credit card number they annoy me greatly. You put it on the till and they assume everyone in the queue has god-like vision and can see all their details. I really feel like saying "certainly sir i'll just put it out of your sight in my card reading machine" but they probably wouldn't have seen the funny side and have got me sacked
