Smurph Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I switch it up. Saying ‘have a nice day’ all the time is just so dull so at least it makes me feel like I’m not a robot when I say something else. ‘Would you like a wee bag?’ and ‘Would you like a wee receipt?’ is a bit harder to switch around, and most of the time you say it on auto-pilot anyway, knowing fine well the customer doesn’t need those. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I was trying to pay for a bottle of wine at the self service till. It was quite quiet, after 9. The wifie gave me a full five minute monologue about what provisions she'd be making for her vegan guest at Christmas. Apparently there's a vegan turkey with mushroom stuffing, she wont put bacon in all the sprouts and it's a struggle to find little veggie sausages to make pigs in blankets. All before pushing the "clearly over 25" button. I wish she'd just said "have a good one" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, tell them to get in the sea or eat the same as everybody else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I wish vegans would stop acting like fucking arseholes, giving their eating habits a bad name. It's decent to want to cut the amount of meat and fish from your diet, but don't fucking act like a c**t about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be something you’d hear Americans say with reference to Christmas. One what? It’s like randomly wishing someone a happy birthday. First time I really remember hearing it was Tim in series 1, episode 1 of the Office. E.t.a, might have actually be "take care".

Drove an elderly friend to the hospital for an operation, and as we passed the crematorium I asked him if he wanted to cut out the middleman. He didn't take it very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could mean Christmas around Christmas time. I'm not sure where it's come from, I've been saying it my whole life tbh. You should expand it. In a meeting and someone needs to nip out for a comfort break? "Have a good one." In a shop and a sweaty guy has in his basket a cucumber, lube and a copy of the Daily Sport? "Have a good one". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
