Mike at Vauxhall Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Customer bought some suede renovator, was going to apply it straight away in my shop. I said no way. My shop is very small, and it could poison my fish tank. So just outside my shop, on the station concourse she did it. Leaving two massive black stains in the concourse, and walked off without a care in the world. I felt it my duty ( to my landlord) to clean it up. Pissed me right off.

kobblers Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 We had a woman use her car key to scrape dog muck from her shoes - we still refused to touch them and then gave her some tissue to clean our floor. I shudder at the thought that she might put her keys in her mouth whilst trying to search through her bag................... Rick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike at Vauxhall Posted December 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Three examples of shit and one example of something that I thought only existed in medieval times. Looks like I was actually lucky with the renovator. kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom D Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 ok then once cut a key for an old fella as he turned to leave my shop he uttered " me bowels gone have you got a plastic bag son ", out of his trouser leg appeared what looked like a chicken korma ( it wasn't ) he scraped his filth off his shoe got on his disabled scooter & drove off with his leg sticking out . I went to clean it up ( I was wretching ) the local priest came past "are you alright " he said I told him what had happened " the durty bastrd" and crossed himself Mike at Vauxhall, mrkeys and kobblers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelCityShoes Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Sounds like I’m quite lucky in that most of my customers will clean their shoes before bringing them in. But I once had a guy ask for a while you wait. As soon as he took his boot off I nearly gagged at the smell. He then put his foot on the counter to proudly show a blister the size of my fist and the worst fungal infection I’ve ever seen kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCityShoes Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Oh and another one where a guy came in took his boots off and asked me to clean them, I asked what it was “excrement, I had an accident†kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
