I need to vent!

[Ryathalas]

:Our nightshift guy had a pretty bad car accident ,He was on his way to work and ended up in hospital with a broken leg and other injuries,So lately we all had to go out and cover the shifts,So I ended up doing 2 of these shifts usually I do 9am-5pm Sunday-Thursday,I wasnt real happy about doing the shifts but I did them to help my boss.My beef with the boss was Why did I have to do them,when the 2 other newish guys you hired to actually do some graveyards were kicking up a stink about doing them???,So the 3 of us ended up with a couple each to cover the shifts,After the first week the youngest 19 went to the boss literally crying and saying that he couldnt do 3 nightshifts in was killing him,the eldest 55-60 a couple weeks prior had rung the business manager on his mobile to complain about the shifts that my boss had given him i.e the nightshifts,so as you can see there were problems everywhere......I again stood up and said that seeing though my sleeping pattern and family life were ruined at the moment then I might as well do the other shift which took me to 3 nightshifts.So we eventually hired another guy to do all the nightshifts so lately on my 3 nightshifts ive been training this guy getting him up to standards everythings been going good until tonight!I work at a petrol station,so after hours(11pm-5am) its lock door policy,Its Schoolies where I live so lots of young kids around they were all good,Most people you serve through the night counter are pleasant and have a joke with them and its all good,then tonight im trying to help a young guy with directions and then I have this moron with giant big mo like hulk hogan standing right in front of the buzzer for like 5 freaking minutes mind you there a big green sign saying please use nightcounter???,He eventually makes his way round the nightwindow and just lets abuse roll out his mouth im like WTF,Drunk as,Hurling abuse at me at like 2.30am in the morning.I said good one mate and threatened to ring the cops and he walked away,fuming off his head I am so over Drunk Aussies like that,What do you do?

Anyway its an epic but had to vent
Cheers

I have learnt that people are stupid. My missus works at a petrol station as well. She deals with idiots all the time. Like when they mumble the pump number, or come back in and complain because the told her the wrong pump number, or point out of the window saying "the white one" when there are like 5 white cars. Worst is when they just through the money on the counter and walk off. I've seen some pretty bad ones as well. Like one night she was counting up, and the other person was on. A few people were waiting in line, and one guy speaks out about there being two people behind the counter and only one line, saying he wants to go home to his family and blah blah blah. He ended up getting the shits and walked up to the front, threw the note and took off.

I am so over Drunk Aussies like that,What do you do?

When ever I have an encounter with a highly drunk individual, I verbally confuse 'em!

They're usually at the state where sentence structure takes a back seat, do the same back. The look of confusion is marvelous.

And when you get the "wha fck ya just say ye bastard?" reply, hit back with "same thing you said. what was that?"

Will usually just go in circles till they leave. usually.....

Yes, it certainly seems like both you Ryathalas and 1AZRAEL1's partner, like most service attendants, certainly seem to be at the raw end of the stick and I agree that some of the louts that stumble in a circa 3:00am can be completely ridiculous - but it's the sober ones who think you're purely there for their sake are the ones that I get most annoyed at (I'm not a servo attendant, I just despise the rudeness of some people).
You can imagine what it would be like if there were to be another fuel shortage crisis like that of the 70's?...

I've learn one thing to say to annoying people; especially to those who are so nosy about what you do in your personal life and tell you that you should do things their way, and that word is:

Chipotle.

Leaves them confused as a baby in a strip joint.

Ahhh... that brings back memories of my childhood

We call people like that...entitlement whores.

. Worst is when they just through the money on the counter and walk off.

My brother worked in a servo for 4 years and when people would do that he'd put the money in his pocket and say "Cheers mate... Now how are you going to pay for your petrol?" They'd get so mad. Then once they joined the line they'd usually bitch and moan really loudly, so when it would be their turn to pay he would be over the top nice to them. Funny thing is that used to upset them even more

That has to be the funnest game of all time.
I do it to the grumpy people when they order coffee at my work.
