Are Customers Trained In Stupidity?

[Alexander's Horse]

When I worked at the supermarket the lady who did the training had an big electrode pad attached to her leg with a wire which disappeared up her skirt

Some of you ppl really need to learn about "customer service" and the concept "the customer is always right".

Your views on the stupidity of customers should not interfere with your work. And it does when you start giving out sassy remarks.

Who do you think provide your pay check and keep you in a job? Without customers no job and no money for you.

Take a college crash-course. Yes, they actually teach subjects on this

I've had my share of "stupid" clerks. I remember one whose goal was obviously to pester the ppl that kept him warm and fed. His brown eyes looked like crap, and if this was a certain number of years ago I might have punched the living daylights outta the living piece of c***.

I wonder why not more clerks are killed in the United Crimes. Some of you might be looking into a gun the next time you feel like acting like the kid you are.

People have a right to ***** all they want, just as the customer does it. If you do it to their face don't be surprised when you lose your job.

The customer is not always right. They're usually wrong. But you don't let them know what you think of them.

There's nothing wrong with people complaining about it, though, after the fact (like this). Lose the holier than thou act.

[Lars-E]

Of course ppl can complain about it. But when they start 'complaining' in the face of the customer, as some in here actually posted Asher, it is a different thing as you yourself point out.

'Loose(n)' up.

The closest I have ever come to killing someone was when working at Burger King.

I was stressed, overworked (there were 2 active workers currently there at lunch time including me), so I'm rushing around and I drop a tray.

It breaks into many pieces with a loud clash. Everyone stops and looks over at me.

So this elderly lady says "looks like you're having a smashing time".

...

It took all my willpower to not pick up a shard of borken tray and jam it through her neck.

Who was complaining in the face of the customer?

[Lars-E]

This guy giving sassy remarks to sweet old men who asked politely if the cruise ship had left.

[Asher]

So that one guy's one comment required a general remark, then?

[Lars-E]

No, Asher, that was just an example The whole thread is full of it.

[Asher]

I only see one comment where the guy publically acted questionably due to a customer's stupidity. Maybe I'm blind/tired...

[The Mad Monk]

I prefer to use the self check out lanes, myself.

The level of technophobia is still just high enough to keep those lanes light.


...and nobody ever complains when I pull out my debit card...

Maybe I should have left out the rant smilies ( ).
In fact, we are extremely polite to our customers, and even though we mean "just board the ship, moron", we say [big smile]"oh, no hurry actually, but we have already started boarding so feel free to take the lift up to the second floor where the gate is. And have a really nice trip!" [/big smile]

You are absolutely right, Lasse, you should never give sassy remarks to the customer. But this thread is not about customer service. In fact, maybe it should belong in the humor&jokes forum so that some people wouldn´t understand it wrong.

[Immortal Wombat]

We don't have a separate humour forum though, most of the posters here actually recognise jokes.

I don't think customers are stupid. I think they just don't want to have to think too much when shopping. I certainly don't.

THE PEN WAS ON A STRING!!!

You guys didn't mouth off to customers??

Where I worked, my boss used to call customers cockgobblers to their face, and I've told customers to **** off...also my level of smart-assness was always in direct proportion to how much the customer was *****ing or pissing me off...for example one customer said something along the lines of "I demand some help NOW, so come sell me a computer" (store was busy, he couldn't get help in a department - I started laughing and said "Doesn't look like that'll be happening anytime soon, does it??"

[Lars-E]

So Floyd is joking here IW? I'm sure you recognize it
