Do they really teach them to be like this ?

Post by Die Judicii » 30 Aug 2024, 3:46 pm

On the way home today I pulled into a servo to get something to eat and a coffee.
Guy behind counter asks me what I wanted.

Me > A large cappachino,, and four Dim Sims please.

Counter guy asks > Four large Dim Sims ?

Me > (looking through the glass, but can't see any others), OK,, Four large Dim Sims if you've got them.

Counter guy > No,,,,,, we only have the small ones.

Me > OK,,, Four small ones thanks.

Counter guy > Do you want any sugars in the coffee ?

Me > No,,, No sugar thanks.

What do you think I got ?

A paper bag with two Dim Sims,,,,, and a small cup of coffee with sugar in it.

Deciding to just accept fate/stupidity,,,,,, (I was feeling conjenial today) I walked out and got into the vehicle,,, and started to drive out.

The exit onto the highway was just like a Tee intersection so either turn left or turn right.

I'm on left side preparing to turn left,,,, when a vehicle (on the highway) decides to turn left into the Servo, overshoots while turning and nearl slams into me head on.
I raise my hands in the air to him to suggest WTF,, :wtf:

He reverses back a little,, then drives past me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and gives me THE FINGER.

Maybe I shouldn't have ever stopped at that Servo.
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
And,,,,It's been proven,,,,, the most trustworthy females in my entire life were all canines.

You know how it is for those kind of people, mate.

Everything time they do something impatient and stupid, it's someone else's fault.

What sort of service were you expecting for $25/hour?

Paying them more certainly will not guarantee better service. More money will not necessarily guarantee a better attitude either.
