If you want to work in a funny place.. where laughter is all yours.. come work with me at a photo-lab. Where the stupidity in customers questions keeps you laughing on the inside. There are always situations that make you just want to howl in laughter, but are afraid to, for the poise of profesionallism. Anyhoo, I digress. Here are the most humorous situations. A woman wishes to drop off a roll of fim (who still uses film?seriously?!) She picks up the clearly labeled envelope, and gives it a visual once over. She proceeds to ask you question after question. When all the while, her answers are right infront of her. Or the yuppie housewife who tries to print three hundred or more pictures in an hour. In her rich and impatient manner, she actually believes this will happen. She asks the person behind the counter, how long the wait will be.. She expects it will only take an hour, but yet she must ask anyway. Sad truth is that, she has now bogged down the lab for two solid hours. 2008-05-26T02:44:02Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/30726 <p>Reminds me too much of my own job. I especially enjoy it when they ask <em>each</em> salesperson the same question, as if one of them is going to magically find a way to warp time and space in order to live up to the customer&#8217;s demands.<br />.<br /><em>Calm down, Alexa. You&#8217;re working tomorrow.</em><br />.<br />On a side note, can I just say that I find it funny that THX apparently doesn&#8217;t see therapy as a service industry?<br />.<br />:) LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/30726?basename=65169 2008-05-26T02:44:02Z Alexa ♥ http://ficlets.com/authors/alexa1018 <p>What ever happened to one hour photos? lol funny, customers are often nuts eh.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/30726?basename=63024 2008-05-17T23:11:19Z Kermitgorf http://ficlets.com/authors/kermitgorf <p>And thus we see why I never worked in the service industry. I feel for ya&#8217;. Just remember: the customer is always right&#8230;even if they&#8217;re a moron.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/30726?basename=62830 2008-05-16T21:12:43Z THX 0477 http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477 <p>Nothing more annoying in life than stupid customers (I used to work at Hollywood Video&#8230; and boy did we have some). I mean sometimes you wonder if these people can even tie their shoes.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/30726?basename=62823 2008-05-16T20:43:08Z thebetweenspace http://ficlets.com/authors/thebetweenspace <p>Nothing more annoying in life than stupid customers (I used to work at Hollywood Video&#8230; and boy did we have some).
