the girl must be jealous you are fluent in another language, that was very nice of the lady.*Minka* said:I have had quite a few people look at the badge, look at me, and then say 'Oh you are one of those DANGEROUS wogs' or 'Don't you have something to set fire too or someone to shoot?' and then go to someone else's register.
the girl from the registers said in a very snotty tone 'We speak ENGLISH in this country. Leave your wogspeak in Europe'. Little bitch.
I got the last laugh on her - the lady came back an hour later with this gorgeous little bracelet from Diva and she put it on my arm and insisted that I keep it when I told her she didn't have to do it. It was so pretty - the snotty cow was eying it off for the rest of our shifts.
Again, wtf? Some people are so rude, I can't understand them and didn't know that that this happens!Casmira said:. You know what its like at least too get constantly hounded by xenophobic customers. Today there was a customer that couldn't speak good english but she was greek (tourist) and I helped her out speaking greek too her, and customers went and told my manager that I'm not speaking english
What was that supposed to mean? He shouldn't have a problem with Australianising his name? The customers should stop being so petty and idiodic.cimbom said:... so, do you go by Stephanos everywhere else? Is that why it is a problem?
I mean- that there's not a huge difference between Stephanos and Stephan. He said that he doesn't go by Stephanos anywhere else... so why choose to change it at work? Where you're dealing with mostly English- speaking strangers? Not that he should be australianising his name- it's just hard to believe that customers would have a problem with it, in 2006. How would muslims and hindus etc. with non- Christian names deal with it?iambored said:What was that supposed to mean? He shouldn't have a problem with Australianising his name?

It was so pretty and very nice of her. I have actrually been called Un-Australian by some people because I speak more than one language. I actually speak five which I am very lucky to be able to do.iambored said:the girl must be jealous you are fluent in another language, that was very nice of the lady.
today i was hungover and in such a fucking foul mood and when the 8th person in a row was like "why dont you have it? you should be able to provide your advertised services" and i'm like cashout is a bonus not a right. THERE ARE FOUR FUCKING ATMS IN THIS TINY LITTLE PLAZA.*Minka* said:Oh I can totally relate with people who scream at me when I don't have $400 in my till to give them as cash out when there is an ATM right outside.
adding to that...townie said:yeh, i always double check the amount out cause i know you fucking customers will yell at me if i get it wrong.
AND, dont get the shits wen i ask "Credit, Savings, or Cheque" Funilly enough, just because a card is Visa doesnt meant it cant also be savings or cheque, and i'm sure u'd be the FIRST to complain if i pressed credit without asking and u wanted savings
Especially when it is actually a DEBIT card. Yes, I can often tell you yuppies.ToO LaZy ^* said:adding to that...
dont fucking stare at me as if im an idiot and then go on to say.."yes, its a CREDIT card."
Lol. Remember "meet the fockers". Many red faces appeared on customers as they whispered what they thought was the correct pronunciationkatietheskatie said:and people who pretend not to know what movie they're going to go see - it makes you look like a tool. or people who just stick money on the counter and give you a blank look. sure, i know what movie you want to see and if you're an adult/student/concession etc. and make sure you can pronounce what you're going to see - it's not the pacific-er, its the pacifier. a bit of fucking articulation goes a long way.
Or they either leave it in their trolley. Once someone come in and gave me this soiled dodgy bag which is definitely not hygenic and demanded l pack it in there. Told them l wasnt even going to touch that and they started whingeing about saving the environment, anyway l refused to pack it in there.glycerine said:also i cannot STAND people who start unpacking, failing to mention the green bags they've left UNDER everything else. funnily enough, my job description does not involve reading minds and i absolutely REFUSE to unpack and repack everything i've already done. either suck it up and take the plastic or do it yourself, i don't care either way. as long as you understand that i'm not fucking doing shit.
After they press the savings button l always ask if they want cashout, they sometimes ignore me then proceed to typing in their PIN number and then ask (after its been accepted and the docket is being printed) that they need $x amount . That sometimes happens with flybuys, l ask them if they have flybuys and they ignore me by either continuing to talk on their mobile or talking to someone else (l dont plan on speaking too loudly to get their attention) and then they flash out their flybuys card at the end. idiotsback to cashout, there is a little concept called enunciation. it means i can understand what you say. don't yell at me because you mumbled something and then mumbled again when i said "sorry, that was fifty out?". i always doublecheck how much people want out, so if it's wrong, i'm sorry, it's your own fucking fault.
fuck work has been pissing me off so much this week. mostly cos i did a week in deli and have been back in service for most of the week.
