busy bee Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Full Moon eh? There's a lot of loonies all the time around here! There used to be a huge mental hospital, now closed down. All the patients were put out into small private care homes, and the not so bad ones, into the community. We call them "Chasemen" although there are a just as many females included!

Lee Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 its not the customers that are loopy its the increasing number of cobblers joining the forum who are turning mad! Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Me & Dean have just had a "customer" in the shop, completely pissed up still from last night. He wanted to order a house sign (£40) & said he'd pick it up next friday. We always demand payment up front for signs etc, surprise surprise he had no money on him. I said well i need at least 50% deposit. He said he could leave £2 deposit! I refuse to make it & he storms off muttering to his self! What the f*ck do they expect?! what a loser!

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Would it be possible for you to take the order then ask the customer to phone credit card details in when he gets home? Dont know if this would work but it's how I get around it if I go out with no money, as I often do due to Muggers, Beggars and Prostitutes, the latter keep fleecing me every week so Ive stopped carrying cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 If the guy wanted to go about paying over the phone he could have, but its amazing how customers think we are going to spend a couple of hours making them a custom made sign on the hope that they are going to collect it and pay us.

Dean Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Muggers, Beggars and Prostitutes Judging by the poignant stench of ale seeping from the pores in his sallow, yellowed skin, I would hazard a guess that he himself was one of the above three.

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 you should consider carrying a mugger's tax with you hugh seriously though, when we send our eldest lad (11) to the shop with a large denomination note we always give him a small handful of change in case any of the scroats that lurk near the shop decide to mug him one day. he keeps the note well hidden. Muggers Tacks more like it, lasting tingles down their backs should do the trick. By the way, what shop does your lad go to and what time? The only large notes that I* ssem to have nowadays are from various folk asking for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bren Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Not many of my customers are bonkers but the people that stop by for a quick chat are all mentalists. I get the first one about five to nine. She re-arranges rubbish bins in her slippers and moans about her 'leccy bill every time. The last of the day sits in the cafe opposite and stares at me as i'm cashing up. He once bought a pair of laces. I see these, and plenty more in-between, every day i work.

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I would guess that your scenario Bren was the same in most shops thoughout the land. Just recently though I've witnessed more shop assistants that were bonkers, just had a run in with Sainsburys, the think to get right up my nose is bad customer service and from a company that was voted retailer of the year for 2007 I would personally say this,"let me wring the necks of everyone who voted for you".
