Friday Funny

[*Glenn* 854]

For all those who work with rude customers... it's a shame we can't

get to do this!

An award should go to the Virgin Airlines desk attendant in Sydney

some months ago for being smart and funny, while making her point,

when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as

cargo.

A crowded Virgin flight was cancelled after Virgin's 767s had been

withdrawn from service. A single attendant was re-booking a long line

of inconvenienced travellers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his

way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said,

'I HAVE to be on this flight and it HAS to be FIRST CLASS'.

The attendant replied, 'I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try to help

you, but I've got to help these people first, and I'm sure we'll be

able to work something out.'

The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers

behind him could hear, 'DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?'

Without hesitating, the attendant smiled and grabbed her public

address microphone: 'May I have your attention please, may I have your

attention please,' she began - her voice heard clearly throughout the

terminal.

'We have a passenger here at Desk 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If

anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Desk 14.'

With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared

at the Virgin attendant, gritted his teeth and said, 'F...You!'

Without flinching, she smiled and said, (I love this bit) 'I'm sorry, sir, but

you'll have to get in line for that too!'

hahaha i wish i could do this when i get "Do i get a free ipad with that?"

[AN E30 Fan 1]

hahahaha, I hate it when people ask for free sh*t because they've made a massive order.

"Can I have free drinks because I ordered 5 Bacon Backfires? ..... no"

I love when they simply say "can i please have a discount?"

What the? Are they forgetting the reasons behind a discount? its so rude. For all of you out there who do it, know that we mock you when you leave the store. And for the types that say "I'm a good customer here, I buy a lot" -we instantly know that you dont, and maybe once you have come in and wasted a lot of our time buying 2 items.

Phew that was a good chance to vent!

So do I... I always say I'll give the same discount to you that McDonalds or the the local butcher and dairy gives you . I give discounts to active members on here...if people ask, unless they have something that benifits me, I decline

We always get "what is your best price?"

I then add 20-25% because it is the best price for ME! (I make more money).

Then when they look at me with a strange expression, I ask them if they would like the original price that was offered

or if they offer a low ball price because they are paying by "cash".. I always say that is is a good deposit for layby and ask when they are likely to pay the balance

PS - Cash sucks... I have to go and bank it and get charged a fee to do it

I hate it when people say, I'd be getting my son/cousin/cousin in law/retarded uncle to fix this they are a real whizz ect ect and they know everything ect ect.

but they're in auckland doing ect ect so I'll have to get you guys to do it...

the amount of times I hear that is phenominal.

I find that rude. tbh.

antil33t, I don't mind those ones, when they do get their Wizbang techno friend to "help" them, they become repeat business.

Cash also sucks because of the kickback from the finance company

I hate when someone calls in for help and you ask them to try something but the flatline refuse and go on about how they could try this and that

If your not willing to try what I'm asking and you think that you can fix it yourself. Why the hell did you call me then! *click*
