Jmothecat2 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 As someone who works in a supermarket, I can confirm this. I think there's a balance to be found between efficiency and pleasantries. Politeness and an attempt at making the customer feel valued, whilst also being aware of queues and taking it case by case. From a customer perspective I wouldn't want to be in a huge queue whilst being able to hear a checkout person having an in depth conversation with a customer, but equally if the person didn't have any pleasantries or customer service ability it would make the transaction feel colder. I doubt many people are getting warnings over their lack of conversation, rather the lack of pleasantries whilst serving is what probably leads to warnings. But it will definitely depend on the customer, some will want some chat at the till, some will just want their shopping processed as quickly as possible without the slightest care whether the cashier chats to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, completely bizarre behaviour to park perfectly well in a designated parking space - in fact park even better than the driver in the next space judging by the picture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 In that situation I'd never park right next to another car. It just does not make any sense, park in the adjoining space and struggle to get out of your car or park one space along and open the door fully.Plus 19QOS19 doesn't appear to have any of those rubber door guards so he'd dent your car. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a useful tool if it's something private or you're sending it to another office, but not just regular stuff folk are printing off. On the photocopier front, when a tray needs filled, it for the same reason that hotdogs are in 8s and hotdog buns are in 6s the tray for the paper doesn't take a whole ream of paper. The lazy arse that opens a tray puts 90% of a ream of paper in the tray and rather than take the rest and fill one of the other trays leaves an open pack of paper with about 80-100 sheets lying at their arse next to the photocopier, and a week later there is 5 such packs like that. Just use the whole ream and stick the wrapper in the bin (obviously the correct recycling one) instead of being a lazy p***k.

Gaz FFC Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Went to the post office on Saturday and went to park in the small car park next to it. As I arrived I watched a large 4X4 reverse out the car park as the 1 remaining space was too tight for him due to the terrible parking of the arsehole who parked in the next space. I'm not too precious about my vehicle so I parked in the space and was hoping the useless b*****d would come out before me and struggle to get in his car. Sadly it wasn't to be and I came out 1st and this got on my nerves as I was ready for him/her moaning at me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Aye, completely bizarre behaviour to park perfectly well in a designated parking space - in fact park even better than the driver in the next space judging by the picture. Unless you think he is the white car then I'd worry about your definition of parking "perfectly well". As I've said, his choice of space was the gripe but FWIW, his parking itself is also pretty shite. He's within the side lines but the wallaper is taking up two spaces by overlapping onto the space in front of him. Anyone defending any of his actions are outing themselves as arsehole drivers B) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone defending any of his actions are outing themselves as arsehole drivers B) I'll hold my hand up and admit I didn't look at the photo showing the front sticking out. Strangely though, his back end looks level with yours so maybe that's your fault as well as he probably used your positioning to park. Anyhow, there is plenty of space in front so don't see the problem. Good to see a driver confident enough in their parking skills to park right next to another car in an empty car park though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the misfortune to sit really near one of our office printer/copiers, which most people seem to think makes me an expert in using it* Regularly get disturbed from my work with "BR, how do you clear a paper jam/load more paper/turn this into scan mode/whys my printing not coming off/what printer number IS this"?. All get met with a shrug, unless they're a wid. *I can actually use all the functions pretty capably, because I'm not a moron and can follow the instructions that it displays to help you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Lazy b*****ds (millenials, probably) who think that its ok not to use subscripts and superscripts when writing down units etc. m2 is not same as m² m3 is not the same as m³ Ca(OH)2 is not the same as Ca(OH)2 Fucking Arseholes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try explaining to a Millenial that in Europe currency is often divided by a comma not a full stop as we would use in GBP € 157,50 is One hundred and fifty-seven euros and fifty cents not One hundred and fifty thousand and fifty euros, 'cause it got a comma' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
