Okay, felt like starting a thread along the lines of this title since yesterday's incident.
Yesterday was like... my normal day of work during rainy days (not so many people). Cleared off a few tables and came to a table that was a real shit mess, no one was at the table for more than 5-8 minutes, so I cleared it off plus the toys (because so many kids just never takes their toy home after playing with it). A minute later, a guy returns with his two girls, and the girls starts bitching about the missing toys. And the guy was like 'did you put the toys in the bin' I was like 'yea but I can get it back if you want' and he was like 'okay'. While I was getting it, I apologised. Right? Once they were happy, I returned to my job. And he left the restaurant with his girls... and CAME BACK TWO MINUTES LATER.
Guess what he returned for? The damned drinks. He was bitchin'. Like. "omg you threw the drinks in the bin" (it's normal for ppl to leave drinks half drunken and left, I never come across empty cups a lot). And I knew he was just trying to get free refills for his girls, I internally facepalm'd. And I said "well you can go to the front desk and get a replacement" so he did then came back to me and was like "omg you should go up and ask for a replacement". He was totally pissy, I shouldn't have to help a pissy guy who's trying to get free drinks but store's thingy said I had to. So I just went up to a girl and told her to get the drinks (she totally didn't tell the managers, haha), she did then the guy left.
Honestly. If you're trying to get a free refill, don't leave the f--king store for more than a few seconds! I see all that happens |: It's actually too easy to blame cleaners and try to push for a refill. I swear to kami. Can't wait to leave maccas, and leave the job to ppl who just can't be screwed to do a good job (this is why managers like me |: I hate it).
Any experiences of your own? Share it if you want. (well if you're in school/college/anything similar too... I s'pose it can be counted in too XD)

I have experiences, but I'd rather not post them in public.
But I will say this: If you have the title "Cleaner or anything along those lines, you automatically get classified as less than dogshit... trust me... I know...

OMG! But you can work out their entire details from just that initial!!
....
Isn't their name on the package anyway? XD
Lol, I gotta say, what makes me laugh about those screens, is that it doesn't completely register what you write. I've looked up my sig on Parcelforce's website before now, and it comes up as just two or three small squiggles XD

I just say to them yup! that'll do cya XD, there just aint no time to screw around retrying it I bet they were dero Bogans? hmm the stupidest people I come across as a courier are those people who don't want to give me a last initial, like i'm gonna stalk them or something....... or the ones who have signed on the electronic screen using an ink pen ,lol and people who park their yuppie station wagons,hatchbacks and ute's in loading zones to go get a coffee can burn in hell! lol probably seriously? XD They're prolly afraid you can forge their sigs too lol ah gads, we get those down here too ._.; i have had one transexual at a veterinary hospital who wouldn't sign believeing his/her signature is stored on the electronic devices.... I just said to shim just scribble anything! but he/she was persistent so i got someone else to sign. a proper signature is so not needed, getting the name is the important part..... though one character at angus & robertson would tell me he was God. so that's what i put him down as everytime XD,never had a problem

I had someone today that was either a really stupid attempted criminal or just really really stupid in general.
His total was 8 something... So he gave me a ten, which I'm sure I took with my habitual "Out of ten?" whatever... anyway, so he tried to insist he gave me a $20. So I called Paul up, and had my backup cashier open up because dipshit there was sure he gave me a twenty when he gave me a goddamn ten.
So Paul takes my till into the office and tells me to follow and in the office, I found out dickface tried the same trick on Paul a couple months earlier.
We found out I was 70 cents short.
So we tell the man, I'm actually short, not over, so he gave me a ten, we're both shooting the man and his wife LE STINK EYE. And then the man has the gall to tell me to watch the bills handed to me. I got so close to saying "Do you hear what you're saying? Do you realise you are telling me, who knew you handed me a ten, not a twenty, to watch my bills, when YOU are the fucker who is trying to rip me off?"

He sounds like a real douchebag. Glad you didn't give in, cause he would have left laughing and telling all his wanker low life friends vermin like that should be exterminated from society
anyway.... my stupid encounter for the week
I had to deal with a shocker of a spelling mistake made by one of the phone workers at the call centre. I had a pickup job come onto my screen for a place called 'Pugult'.The address lacked specifics and was in a large complex so I had to call the radio operator and ask wtf is it?
He called the customer and apparantely They were at 'Peugeot' the car showroom!
I swear some of the people our company must hire to work the phones is quite concerning .

@wiki: You can tell the conmen, they're always the ones suspicious that everyone is out to screw em over.
@vig: Yeesh... That's abysmal!
Oh yeah, from back when I worked at the petshop, I got people try to enter the shop, even though the door was locked and the sign said closed. One guy just stood there staring through the window, and I'm like, fuck that, I'm on my lunch break! We always closed for lunch.
