Impressions Of The Day


Guest

Recommended Posts

I believe im one of the most calm people around. Never raise my voice. Never have i cursed at any one... today i was ready to do all that and to even bitch slap the folks behind the counter at Karinas Bakery... I have promised myself to never go there again because of their horrible service, but today I got a call from a friend and he asked if I can but "ptitsi moloko" cake from there to take to big bear where they are...

 

I walked in and there are 3 people in front of me. we wait and just when im next 2 people cut in because the jackass behind the counter just says hello and starts talking to them(they know each other).. the lady behind me makes a comment about it. Im fuming but dont say anything. next she skips me this time and asks the lady who is behind me if she can help her... now Im really fuming... Finally I make a comment about it and being semi polite... She finally asks me what I would like. I ask for the cake. She asks me how many pieces. I tell her want the cake not cut. She says "can you go get it from the fridge and being it to the front. Im at my withs end and say "I going to pay for it so why dont you go get it while i take out the money" to which she says "ko himar himar xagheri jamanak chunem"

 

I walked out but man oh man I was ready to bitch slap the a-hole. Them being busy is not an excuse. I stop at Portos every friday to get pastries for my guys and have never received the type of service from them

 

Due to a similar experience I never set foot at Paradise any more.

The “customer is always right”?

Yeah!! Right!! Right in my ***!!

Most of the time. I have been in a retail environment as well, and I have stuck to that adage most of the time, even though at times I have felt to tell, in fact I have actually told the “customer” to get the*** off my face. The following hrya anecdote says it best- The hrya merchant is behind the counter, the rude customer in the front. The merchant drops his pencil to the floor, bends down to pick it up, he mumbles “you #$^&@#$“, stands up and greets the customer “Hi Ms/Mr. Dunkinheid”!!! ** “Long time no see! How are the children“?

And the merchant proceeds charging double the advertised price.

**Dunkinheid= What you do when you see them walk in the front door. When you see them “dunk and hide”! My invention.

I've done retail in the past for a long time, yes I know how rude and malicious a customer can be with the attitude that I'm giving you the business so you better bend over backwards.

 

A simple, how are you? With a sincere smile does magic for me most of the time. Having said that there are exceptions to the rule on both sides, customer and counter worker that you can't win no matter what.

Yes, Yervant. One does bend over backwards. That is until the back breaks.

One time I must have said “eshek” under my breath.

BTW, my Polish American colleague knew what it meant, my other colleague Mari H-ian had taught him. Sometime later this bosnian turk approached me. He asked me “vat aye vaz”. I said “aye amerikun”. He said- “no, no aye no, vat you arr, ay hir you spik furkish”.

SOB!! When did “eshek” (IndoEuropean Equus) become a furkish word? It must have been the first word we uttered when we first met them.

I waited until my last day at that location. He came in. I spoke to him in furkish, garnished with some choice “spicy words”. He fainted, he almost died. You wish!!!

There was another pesky , so characteristic to her tribe, woman who claimed to be a survivor of the “holohoax” that was so fascinated with my ethnicity, she would constantly ask me -”vat you agh, you ‘aghab’ ?

No, you beech! I no “aghab”. I aghmenian/deghoghist!

Movses - that clearly was not the issue in Azat's case. This woman simply decided to give preference to someone she knows instead of serving the next person in line. There is no justification for such a treatment.

 

I too deal with customers almost every day ... most of who only complain and demand and drive me nuts. But I never take out my frustration on the next person I deal with. That is absurd and childish.

Ես տոնական սեղանը շատ եմ սիրում (հանած խոզի բուդը և գոճին)... էն ավանդույթներից ա, որ անպայման կպահպանեմ իմ ընտանիքում և կփորձեմ փոխանցել:

I feel bad for supermarket cashiers for having to do that all the time. Must be really tiring! I usually have the urge to tell them "you don't have to ask me how I am" ;)

You misunderstood my remark, I meant if the customer says how are you with a smile to the retailer, most of the time they will service you well. ;)
