i own a shop and it really dose bother me what people find to moan about these days you feel like sayin GET A FUCKIN LIFE but you carnt has anyone felt the same or is it just me
I moan about people who don't use any punctuation, so you'll probably tell me to "GET A FUCKIN' LIFE"
:lol: Mike.
Working with the public can really shake your faith in humanity. I used to work weekend nights at a petrol station. Any pissheads or stoners who came in at 2-3am when the clubs closed and pissed me off because they couldn`t function, I used to overcharge by a quid, and buy myself a scratchcard :twisted:

I to used to work with the Public and yes I used to get to the stage where i felt like screaming 'Oh for gods sake bugger off home',
The old dears that didnt have much contact with people outside i used to have more patience with
But the Victor Meldrews of this world I have little patience for they just moan for the sake of moaning.
Id sooner smile and enjoy each day but then thats me

I work with students every day. As time goes on, my patience with the more fuckwitted ones wears thinner, and my cynicism and sarcasm levels rise in inverse proportion.
As a result, I have long since ceased to be polite when dealing with the minority of oiks, I just tell it to them as it is..... Put f**k all into it, get f**k all out of it. It's their choice.
They tend to grasp concepts more readily if they are spelt out at a grass-roots level.......
On the whole though, I do not have to resort to such drastic measures...... Just once in a while....

Fed up with the number of people who shout and turn violent when they don't get their own way.
I've been in my job for 14 years and in the first 10 of those I can remember having to call the police to 3 customers who were threatening. In the last 2 years we've had to call them 5 time. This might not sound like much, but we do wait until it's absolutely essential before we hit the panic button.
Some members of the public just dehumanise people who are there to "serve" them and treat them like crap. You go out of your way to help them and they still fucking moan and bitch about what you've done.
What with the ones that threaten you with court (just because they THINK they know their rights) and the ones that drag members of staff over counters to hit them, it's no wonder people like me want to leave this appauling workplace and try and find something where we don't have to deal with the public in any way, shape or form.
We don't get paid enough for this type of crap!

Oh Easy's job sounds really dreadful.
I suppose part of the problem is that, if you do work with the public, then, much of the satisfaction you get from you job is brought about by your interaction with them. I love my business and am very proud of it. I need the public to make a success of it and when they leave happy or compliment me on it I'm walking on air.
However when the balance tips and you are dealing with more moans than anything else it becomes thankless. I take complaints very personally and the worst comment I've ever had was "you just don't care" which actually made me cry :cry:
After years and years of doing it I've realised that I'm not cut out for being a "servent" and am unhappy that people treat me as one - which they do all the time. So time for a career change for me I think. And am feeling particularly stroppy...... I wonder if Easy has any vacancies. :twisted:

It's a truth universally acknowledged that a member of the public in search of a slap in the face will ultimately cross your path at some stage. I wholeheartedly agree with all the previous comments - perhaps I can add my favourite 'moan' of recent months.
Last year, me and all my colleagues were made redundant from one of the 'big four' banks. Most of my job had already migrated to India and the rest was moving to another UK location. As part of the fun, we were required to train our UK replacements, who travelled to our city en masse to receive said training, fully accommodated for several months in a rather nice hotel, all expenses paid. Bearing in mind this was a fairly uneasy situation, I am proud to say that we all tried our best to act professionally, train the new bods and get on with the job of trying to move on. One morning, in the middle of a particularly fraught week (try teaching the equivilent of 800 years experience in 6 months; you'll get what I mean), one of the new girls came into work. "Everything going OK?" I asked. "No, not really." she replied. Worried that the training was insufficient, I asked what was wrong. ............................................................The reply? "I really, really don't like the wallpaper in my room." For fuck's sake - I pity anyone who still banks with them!!!
I've got a new job now.

You should all try my favourite from when I was a manager dealing with fuckwits (the public) everyday
It's ' there we are then', ....sir/madam as a response, it's non-committal and if you put the first letter of each word together it spells twat, which is exactly what I was dealing with most days!

It all seems so long ago !!
Argh what unpleasant memories come flooding back :confused:
I used to deal with the public on a daily basis.
I still bear the scars on my bottom lip where I have had to bite it very hard on far too regular a basis :eeek:
I now just deal with trade, but unfortunately, the odd unsuspecting member of the public manages to sneak through the nets.
Not a pretty sight.
I always used to be over polite which is enough to topple any level headed complainer :doh:

To each person with complaints about "The Public", could I just point out that beyond the confines of your profession, you are the public to everyone else. You're moaning about yourselves, and each other.

Yes, but those of us that have been on both sides of the counter do tend to cut the sales staff a lot more slack and not usually threaten to wait for them one night on the way home and break their legs with a baseball bat.

What even the ones having imaginary phone conversations pretending they haven't seen you?
I used to do part-time bar work and found a very simple way to deal with toss pots.
Don't serve them.
Mostly it was working in holiday resorts where it was always packed and my fav was standing behind a very busy bar and shouting "Who's next?".
Several shouts of Me, Me etc........
"Come on. Who's next?"
Then, somebody would catch on and say.
"And one for yourself"
Serve that person first and Bob's your Uncle. lol

Yep, even those ones. I just walk out and go somewhere else or wait. It's annoying, but you don't know the reason why they are doing it. Could be that they just want 5 mins rest from dealing with people 'cos they've had to deal with a :wanker: for the last 3 hours and they're feeling a little burned out.
