What's made you grumpy today?

I'd say fine, goodbye take your "custom" elsewhere.

I'm so glad I'm not in a customer service role, I really don't get on with people and can't stand idiots :bang:.

I've said it before, but I get less abuse when I'm on duty with the Police than I do in the petrol station. (Apart from a few weeks ago, when I was going to get shot in the face with a shotgun :LOL:).

My grump...put 11lbs on over Xmas :(...to the gym it is!
 
After reading everyones grumps about working in retail. im glad that i work in a pub...

would be a bit more suspect if someone comes in saying "Just Looking" in a bar...

and they cant exactly be arsey otherwise i just plain and simply wont serve them and kick them out. :D:devil:

ahh, been management and been able to "Bar" people from the company properties.. its like having a power trip :eek:

I work in a Wetherspoons as well as retail. I don't get "just looking", I get people creeping on me on Facebook or people who expect a 5* service when they pay £1.60 a pint :rolleyes: scum
 
Hellz naw!
If there was an old man, who smells, has greasy hair and dirt all over his hands while coughing in to them as he picks through his sticky, dirty coppers and 5p's (and various bits of fluff and backy) which he's scooped out of his pocket. He buys a pint, winks and tells you to smile as you look on in disgust.

ORRR

There's a couple dressed all business like, look good, smell good, have manners and order champagne...


I'd sure know who I'd rather treat like royalty and smile at :p wouldn't you?! Seriously though, for the pittance I get paid I'm not gonna go out of my way for people for it not to be appreciated, especially with my passive aggressiveness lol

I know exactly what your on about, but thats at wetherspoons :p

i work for a company called H.B Clarks and its completely differnt.

the blokes in suits who order £36 rounds are Arseholes who treat me and the staff like scum, thinking that there better than everyone else in the pub and never say please or thanks.

the bloke who is a bit tatty and makes an honest living in a factory somewhere treats us with respect and is so much more genuine and actually thanks you.

now i know the the suits are paying us more money and making us more profit, but i'd much rather have the manners of the tatty bloke.. (although the shareholders will think otherwise :rolleyes:)

and to put things in comparision, your fosters is £1.60, ours is £2.90... :eek:
 
i thought the sig smilie meant yo get a free handjob with every pint or phone :confused:

What place gives out free handjobs? Might have to pop up there!

I find that if you are polite to everyone, most the time they are polite to you. Just think, that guy who is counting the coppers out, might be struggling with money and feeling pretty crap about things, you being polite and giving him a smile might cheer him up a bit.
 
I think i know where id rather be drinking!

Your pub because of the free rounds yes? ;)

we dont have the luxury of a big company like J.D Wetherspoons to be able to offer cheap drinks at £1.60 a pint. we barely make a profit as it is..

and its not like where quiet.. last month our bouncers counted more people into our pub than the bouncers at the wetherspoons just up the road.. and thats bouncers from the same independent unbiased company ;)

Not my point though. :confused:

I smile at everyone who comes into the pub, i treat everyone with unbiased views.... I have to, my name badge sames "management" on it :rolleyes:

Its only after ive been polite and welcoming to the people coming to my bar is it they act like :tosser:..

But i will still be polite to them, it is only if they repeat the peformance every time they come to the bar, or are offensive to me or my staff, when i take action :devil:
