You bet your olives!

THIS is the GOP. They will waste money on anything but actually helping people.

Yes, that’s the fiscally responsible thing to do. Waste millions of dollars investigating fraudulent claims against a legitimate medical organization.

You know what? I love the balls on Cara Sloane to tell a BCO story about her own fuck-up. Just about every one of these is told from the waiter’s point of view, so I am always curious as to how customers would tell one of these (and what the exact hell was goin on in their cerebellums)...

Okay, I haven’t read through yet, but last week, I discussed writing up a “BCO In Jokes Primer”... and here it is. For all those who are new...

Seriously, my goal in this is to finish talking to you. Why the hell would I be prolonging this interaction to get you pissed off????

I worked in retail for about 7 years. I have had customers screaming at me because they swore I had the pair of shoes they wanted in the back and was just lying to them for shits and giggles. No assholes I was paid on commission & wanted to sell you the damn UGG boots but you waited until fucking Christmas Eve so…

my favorite that happened to me is when you’re asked “where’s the ___” and you point out the direction and sometimes even the sign above the doorway and they go, “No, that’s not right.” OF COURSE NOT I ONLY WORK HERE STARING AT THAT SIGN 40 HOURS A WEEK I MUST BE JUST MAKING SHIT UP

Why are customers always convinced people are lying to them? They have only one cup size, they aren’ trying to trick you for the fun of it. I one time had a customer, when I worked at the convenience store, swear up and down they paid for a money order with a credit card there just recently. The damn computers didn’t…

Perfect Hitchhiker’s reference gets

I think it originated as some management thing but it quickly has morphed into every douchebag’s excuse for treating service people badly. For blaming the clerk or server for something that is utterly out of their control and the like. Ugh.

They just get more angry & insistent if you show them. It’s just not worth it—- something you just gotta take with the job. The service industry can suck sometimes. 😕

Yup. And I found it curious that he didn’t complain a single bit about the service, just that he was charged that “outrageous” sum.and if he had anything to actually complain about, something tells me he would have.

(it comes from my own personal experience, it’s a torture i’d wish on few.)

The customer was definitely ridiculous, either way you slice it.

This is not so far from the truth. I’ve tried explaining wine tasting fees and policies to people (five years in the wine industry), and I’ve literally been told they’re not interested. So that’s always fun when they order twelve flights and are shocked they have to pay for them when they didn’t buy any wine.

Waiter: “I’m sorry Sir, but the policy is clearly printed at the top of the restaurant menu”

Agreed, but with one small adjustment:

Nailed it.
