I've had a couple of screamy, sweary customers, but like most people here, I barely held it together and then had a cry out back as soon as they were gone. A chap did throw a (still packaged) sandwich at me when I told him I had to charge him VAT to eat in.

Sadly true. I worked in a video game shop and would have customers refuse to be served by me at the tills or who waited to speak to one of my male colleagues when needing advice. One chap came up to queue at the counter and when I came free, I asked if I could help. He shook his head and said he was waiting for my colleague, so I assumed they knew each other or that the customer had been served by him before. Nope. He just wanted advice on the latest FPS games and my colleague admitted it wasn't his speciality and handed him over to me. Then the entire shop broke in to rapturous applause.

constantIllusion posted:Popular people being assholes to everyone and treating the school's hallways as Fashion Week runways while never having to answer to authority is only a thing in movies and on tv. Sadly not so at my school - the so-called popular kids were the bullies, though they'd often turn on their own at random and ostracise a former 'cool kid' completely. But yeah, the rest of the time seemed to be spent being pricks to everyone else, so God knows why we considered them 'popular'.

Also, remember that these are the nerds who always love the villains in their animes because they're so complex and misunderstood~

Bertrand Hustle posted:According to the Europeans I know, Americans actually are a lot louder than they think they are. That may be skewed by the fact that tourists in general are pretty goddamn obnoxious, though. People over here in Britain tend to talk with their head voice; it's softer and doesn't carry as far. Americans, especially those from California and Florida, seem to talk from their chest. The sound's a little more... Booming. NB. This is based on anecdote and some understanding of voice quality from singing lessons.

Palisader posted:Well, and there's also a chain store (sort of like less successful Walmart) in the UK called Tesco, which is what immediately popped into my head. "Oh honey you're so bright and special and wonderful that we named you after a supermarket chain where you can buy both baked beans and blank DVDs at the same time!" Poor Asda never could compete with his sister.

I love that Beats-tuna dad clarified that his daughter couldn't even enjoy the tuna as she's allergic to it.

Khazar-khum posted:Oh God, yes. Right between the eyes. With a little banner that says, 'I'm an rear end in a top hat to disabled people'. She's adorable. I've never seen a service poodle before - could be that some of the arseholes are confused and assume all service dogs are labradors? But I'm sure a lot of them are just dicks, like the people who mutter about me when I request the priority seat on public transport or the tourists I used to deal with on the London Eye who couldn't understand why they had to fold their buggy but someone in a wheelchair wasn't expected to fold their chair

When I worked at a DVD shop, we had a chap in his early thirties who used to regularly come in and make a purchase from our limited 'blue' section. Like clockwork, he'd come back a few days later with his angry mother, who'd demand we let him return it.
