So really, imagine the stupidest human beings, then put them all in a movie theater and approaching for me.
To start off with most people don't even listen to what you say, they just give you an autopilot response of "Yea." For instance you'll repeat back what they asked for "3 adults for Blah Blah, thats 27 dollars" They say yes. Then once everything is done printing and they pay they'll say "Oh dude omg I wanted one student". Oh, really did you **edited**head? Why didn't you say that when I repeated to you back to what you requested? And Indian people, don't get me started on them, somehow a part of speech totally flew by these people. Instead of asking for say "Two tickets for Mujhesa Shaadi Krozgi" (We're carrying usually baliwood ever 2 weeks now, brings in money) They'll just say MUJHESA, fine, abbreviate the title, but at least give me some hint as to what you want as in 3 adults two children etc. Also they bring the whole family* (Denote, lots of money there) which I understand, because as far as I know the culture is very family orientated. But they all like to come to the latest show possible. Another thing that bugs the crap is when people argue with me over price, jesus freaking christ I spend 35 hours a week there, I'm pretty sure I'm aware at how much we charge for various things. And telling me its one price won't get you anywhere, because when I hit that button it will still be the price I'm telling you. Also we don't do military discount. Don't argue with me about the fact that I can't do anything about it for you. I respect anyones decision to serve in the armed forces but, don't act like it puts you above the standard person. Don't give me a snoody comment about fighting for my freedom and how I'm being a **edited**, because last time I checked theres no war being waged inside of the movie theater. Anywho. |

I like it how customers tell me to put an item of food on their sandwich, then several steps down the list the decide the no longer what that item and expect me to make a new sandwhich for them.
Another favorite of mine is a customer will ask for several different extra cost items and argue with me that they are not on the sandwhich when I ring it up. Then I unroll the sandwhiches and show they are indeed there, all while they are complaining they didn't order it. Water cup people are ammusing as well. Customer - Lemme get a watta cup. Me - The water spout is next to the lemonade Customer goes to drink dispenser. Looks over shoulder at me to see if I am watching. Waits... Me - Helps a customer, Hears C02 tank go off indicating soda is despense... Me- Sir please dump out the contents of your water cup. You did not buy the soda. Customer- I aint gots no Soda... Me- Calls area security, Area Security - Detains non payong customer until cop issues a theft ticket. Moral of the story, dont steal soda while I am working. -------------

yea people can be dumb before school started i worked for a bedding delivery service, people wanted me to take there matres and boxes, when it wasnt in my paper work (meaning there was a defect with the one they had and we where delivering a new one) if people wanted us to take there old matreses and it wasnt on our paper work we would charge them 45-60 dollars (depending on the cars they drove and house they owned) and clamed it was for a dumping fee. then they would be mad that we would charge them to take there matres (most of which has stains then the people who say there house is in one place and its not. ex. 5408 w. bulllock rd. Phoenix,Az (made up adress i belive). we would look them up on our Map book and when we would go to where our map and there adress told us they would be. there was no such house, we would then call the people and explane to them where we were and how to get to there house. well take a right going west on Bullock (ok thats easy), go to the stop sign (ok). turn left (what the heck where not on Bullock anymore) {going south on 5400} go till you hit the dead end sign (ok so like 1/4 mile south of where you said your house was!!!!) now take a left (ok going east on Eastwood, OMG) forth house on the right (o great 2 story house) so the guy i work with goes in to find out where the beds going, (ok theres a turn in the stairs now the home owner must sign a release forum) so we take the beds up stairs and let the homeowner look them over before he signs the paper work (mattresses are covered in plastic) the home owner sees a string hanging out (its like thet from the factory as long as it isnt longer then 4 inchs then it needs to be fixed) so he doesnt sign the release forum. now we have to take the bed down the stairs and put it back in the truck. home owners pissed because now they arnt getting a bed, so they decide they want to sign the release forum this time we have them sign it before we take it up stairs, great now we have to take it back up stairs. all this for $15 |

I was thinking of starting a blog of my Subway adventures but I a too tired to write after I get off work sometimes... I would really like to do it because my work place is extremely entertaining.
From the violent begging bums that panhandle outside the shop to the once a week food inspection complaints, it gets to be a hadful sometimes. -------------

| For every stupid customer story you can tell a stupid employee story- after all most of those people also have jobs and they don't get "smart" when they go to work. So I guess it works both ways. |

lol I got thrown out of the movie theater last night. I was hanging out just after they lokced the doors, because Ive got a bunch of friends who work there. So were all just hanging out and chillin. And my buddy's boss (who was a total hotty by the way) was counting cups for inventory. And my buddy asked her something and she didnt answer. And someone else says "steve you know she doesnt answer people when she counting cups." so I was juist playing around and I started raddling off random number. 14 38 62 81 24. so she turns around all pissed and screams for me to get out. Anyway I spoligized for messing with her and left. But she was still pretty pissed. -Kasey -------------

I dont have a job but i have a story of one stupid kid at a music store. I was playing a great bass at my local guitar shop and a stupid arrogant 12 year old noob takes a $1500 Vintage Fender 57' P-Bass off the rack and as he goes to plug in he drops the bass. Every persdon in the guitar section of the store turns to the kid and looks at him with disgust. So he looks kind of embarassed and sees me glaring at him. He turns around and plugs in the bass. As he plugs in, he turns the Master Volume to 10 and turns the amp on. He starts strumming the bass looking like an idiot. As he hits the E-string he blows the amp. I just completely lost it and got up and walked toward him. 3 guys are coming over to check out what happened and I tapped him on the shoulder. I scream at the kid "What the  do you think you're doing kid!" He says " I'm playin bass, what does it look like i'm doin?" I start cursing at him and take the bass out of his hands. Then the employees told him not to plug back in. I felt relieved because the kid would've ruined a $1500 bass. This is the story in my sig.------------- "You have to be trusted, by the people that you lied to. So that when they turn their backs on you, you'll get the chance to put the knife in."

Shoot, people can come up with stupid saying in any job.
I'm an air traffic controller, and during busy spells you have runs of 18-20 aeroplanes all trying to fit into the same gap of sky for the same runway. There are laid down speed restrictions to fly. And you still get idiots who are number 15 in the queue wanting to know if you want them to stick to the speeds for if they can fly faster than everyone else. KBK |

Oh lord, I work at McDonalds. Ok, So one day our icecream machine was broken, some belt drive or somthing, so it was empty. Noted I work in the afternoons/nights alot when alot of icecream products are ordered. Ok, So im working window and this lady orders like, 3 McFlurrys, 4 Sundaes, and a Cone. I explain to her "Im sorry ma'am, our soft serve machine is down for repair, can I get you anything else?" I get in return "GOD WHAT KIND OF MCDONALDS IS THIS???" "Ummm......One with a broken Ice Cream machine?" _____ One day this dude (Who we later found out is natorious for ordering this super special burger and returning it 75859 times) comes in. He wants a Double Cheeseburger on a seeded bun, Qued (The Qer is a hardcore microwave) so the chese melts, bacon put on it, No ketchup, extra mustard, add light mayo, Slivered (big) onions, and two tomatoes. Ok, Fine. They write it down, I make it. It gets returned. Too much mayo. My friend Ruban makes the burger. It gets returned. He wantes the cheese inbetween the meat. The grill specialist Juan makes the burger, It gets returned, the wrapper was too messy. So the shift manager that was there yells "FINE I'LL GO BACK AND MAKE YOUR DAMNED BURGER. YOU WILL PAY AND YOU WILL EAT AND YOU WILL ENJOY AND YOU WILL LEAVE!!! NOW!" ____ To me, this one wins of all of them though. Ok, so I am in the grill, and my friend Greg is working the window and front line (It was about 1am). We are both wearing the headset because I like to hear what they are ordering so I can get the stuff ready. So this car pulls up, Says they want to know the toppings for the McFlurrys. Greg says "Oreo, M&M, Butterfinger" The guy says, and get this, "Ill just take a plain one" Greg is silent. "A plain McFlurry?" Guy - "Yes" Greg - "Ummm....Yeah....You dont want any mix-ins?" Guy - "I Want a PLAIN McFlurry" Greg - "ummm......You do know thats just ice cream.....In a cup." Guy - "Yes I want a PLAIN McFlurry!!" Greg - "You know, You could just get a Cone for 50c, it would be the same thing" Guy - "I WANT A PLAIN MCFLURRY!!!11!!" Greg - "FINE THEN!" Afterwords I am having to sit at the managers desk im laughing so hard. ________ This one woman comes through one night and asks "If I order some Hot N' Spicys will they be cooked or will I have to wait?" "No they will be ready" "Ok I want 15 Hot N Spicys. And a Diet Coke" "*sigh*........Ok, Please pull around" ________ Although this isnt a bad story, one day a car full of clowns came through and started passing baloon animals through the drive through window. They made one for every employee. I got a bird hat. We gave them free frys. -------------

Todays adventure:
Since Subway is now offering Toasted Sub Sandwiches we are adapting a new system of serving customers. In our attempt to speed up the sandwhich making process we are running an assembly line system. For example: Worker 1 - greets customers and finds out what bread the they want. Worker 2- adds cheese, meat, and toasts bread if customers want it. Worker 3 - Adds the vegitables and condiments. Worker 4 - Rings the order up and takes payment I was Worker 1 today. Lucky for me this seemed like the simplist job. My sole duty is to find out if they want a 6 inch or footlong of bread and what kind. Me- Welcome to Subway, What kind of bread, wrap or salad can I get you today? Customer - Can I have a Roast beef sandwhich with mayo, mustard, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, olives, green pepper, blah, blah, blah, blah. Me - What Kind of Bread would you like that on? Customer - Uhhmmmm, Well what kind do you have. Me - I point to the display case right in front of them with the labeled bread. Customer - All these breads are the same price, right? Me - Yes Customer - I would like blah in a six foot. Me - Do you mean six inch or footlong? Customer - Well, I guess I meant a footlong. Finally a 3 second question is completed, and the line moves to the next customer that happens to follow the same pattern as the one above. Also the Subway inspector came to make sure that my store was in compliance with the Subway regulations. Some of my Crewleaders are just as dumb as the customers. Everything has to be labeled with a time, date, and intital of who prepaired it. Inspector - Why is this food storage container not labeled? Crewleader - Well this morning we were to busy to change them so we just took the old labels off and didnt change the containers.. Needless to say that I did not eat my daily free six inch today. -------------

I feel the pain. I too have worked customer service. I'll spare you the long read and summarize.
I worked at a convenience store in the city. Some guy came in and saw that the bathroom was taken. He didn't want to wait, so I caught him peeing on the side of the ice machine. He freaked out and told my manager that I was rude and should be reprimanded for walking away from him. Another time, when I had just finished power washing the parking lot and front walk, and I'm just about to go home, some guy rides up to the store on a horse, ties the horse to the pay phone, and comes inside to use the bathroom. He was incredibly drunk, and by his logic, too drunk to drive. Of course the horse relieved itself on the sidewalk, and I had to stay 45 minutes late to clean it up. The cops showed up because it's illegal to keep animals like that in city limits, but "we're not telling you to leave." The cops liked horses and let him go. He's lived around there as long as I can remember with them, and nobody protests long enough to get him removed. Fun side note on the horse story. I tried using the power washer while the horse was still there so I could go home, and it freaked out and kicked the guy in the shin. He was too drunk to notice much. He told me not to do that, that the horse had been bitten by a snake in the past. hehe -------------

Something that makes me mad is when someone orders an extremely complex pizza, and then complains that one of the toppings isn't on it. It IS on there, they just can't see it because it's only on 1/4 of the pizza (by their request), and it's buried under the other toppings and extra cheese. -------------
