No excuse for being rude to them but complaining I don't have an issue with particularly in high end restaurants. In these type of establishments they should employ professional staff who are experienced and know the food and wine on the menu.

Re: Irrational Hatreds
things that bug me are:
>> people complaining and being rude to waitresses/service staff. I have no issue with a genuine complaint being made politely. I especially hate it when the member of staff is young, inexperienced and a bit out of their depth.
>> my post lady who pulls up and beeps every day because she is too lazy to get out of the car and bring me the post or put it in the box. Shes very pleasant and cheery to me but especially if I am on the phone, I dont want to go out and get my post in my hand.
>> looking out of the window at work, people catching my eye and then coming in to ask what we sell.
>> lolly pop ladies that dive out instead of waving their stick around to tell me they are coming
>> jazz bands
>> when I give people money them coming back and smacking the change down on the counter when I have my hand out

These 'potential' customers, would they be retirees by any chance?

Re: Irrational Hatreds
i think its the new
children on board stickers
you wont crash into them cos they have 3 kids, one who sings, the other plays with a fekkin hoolahoop, and the last one just stands there
2 dugs, a goldfish, a daft cat and oh ffs they have a horse
my thinking is i would save the country a fortune if i ran that lot off the road

It's like, man! those guys have a great white as a pet! I'm sure there are some people who haven't quite got it, they seem to have the whole range on the back window

I could feel myself inadvertantly grinding my teeth as I read your post.

without exception. we are in the middle of 6 retirement complexes. I mean, we only masquerade as a shop. I dont want to actually sell anything and people are too stupid to notice.
