Is it just me or do they annoy everyone??

I went into town today and everyone seemed really grumpy!

one shop the assistant only talked to me when she said how much it was was, put my things on the counter and wandered off without offering me a bag.. i didnt have one so had to eait till someone else came out of the back and ask them!

I can't be doing with people like that. Thats why, if i'm on checkouts, i'm always happy and smiling. Even if i'm having the worst day or am majorly hungover i never let it show.

Plus you cant risk getting the Mystery Shopper!

I think it is just you, try smiling and being polite it always works for me.

Like I said in chat I was stopped on the M6 allegedly doing 96mph, I then found out my MOT had expired and I walked away scot free, without even a funny taste in my mouth

I even shook his hand after my telling off.

Try being polite it works wonders

The ones who continue to chat to each other whilst serving customers irritate me.

emamum · 18-04-2008, 17:33

I am very polite and smiley

the guy in my corner shop is always on the phone... thats annoying as well...

onlyme and i (lol) went shopping recently and the woman who served me was the worst assistant i had ever encountered.She only spoke when she had to,no 'please' or'thankyou' and had a face like a smacked butt.......needless to say i think alot less of that chain of stores now,as i had only been there a few times previous.

I hate ignorant people.

A couple of weeks ago, I went into a shop, the shop keeper was talking on his mobile phone. I got my things and placed them on the counter. He tilled in the items, still talking on the phone.

The items came to £ 8.90. I gave him £10.00 ( he didn't even talk to me to tell me the price, I had to look on the till ) He gave me £6.10 change!! Thank you very much...... and I walked out!! That'll teach him

Any other time I would have pointed out that error..... but with this ignorant git.

LOL - where did you get that £15 note?

BERNADETTE · 18-04-2008, 17:44

There is no need for people in sales positions to be ignorant. I think that if you are cheerful and polite you get the same response back. Have to say another thing that gets me is being in a queue and the person in front gets a call on their mobile asking where they are. The bit that annoys is that the person calling is probably waiting outside or very close by.

Exactly, I couldn't understand how he came to that amount either

Maybe if he was paying attention, he would have noticed the silly silly error

Ah the bliss of shopping online

Its not always the assistants that are grumpy the customers can be too as well.

I was in iceland yesterday was late on mainly because i was waiting till i felt better before i went down town. Anyway there i was in the queue. There was only one till open and there was 2 assistants at that till, there was a problem. Anyway it was sorted but by the time it was sorted there was a long queue and i was at the back of it. So another assistant went and got someone else to open another till. The lad opened the till and said next please. Now this bloke with a dozen eggs went straight to him and put the eggs down. The bloke who was in front of him took exception to this and said im before you and moved his eggs and started putting his shopping down.. when the bloke with his eggs said i only have this - he said I'M BEFORE YOU and the poor assistant didnt know where to look or what to do - he was stood there doing nothing waiting and he could have put through the eggs no problem with no hassles, and this bloke with his eggs put them down again - this other bloke picked them up and moved them to another till and said IM BEFORE YOU thought it was going to be fisticuffs in iceland!!!! It was funny watching it - me - i stayed in the same queue i was in and got served quicker than the ones who moved over to the other till. By the way i let the bloke with the eggs go in front of me - he came and queued behind another woman and me we let him go in front of us.

Yolanda25 · 18-04-2008, 20:13

oh and by the way like someone has pointed, there are very rude customers as well, like the ones who come on till on their mobile fones and the ones that never say thank you or please, the one that comes with mobiles fones proper ****es me off i think is very rude

shillelagh · 18-04-2008, 20:18
