Salop Matt Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 In a pub a few weeks ago i paid for 2 pints and I paid with a £20 note but was given change as if I had paid £10 ! When I pointed out the mistake I got a response as if I was trying it on and how dare I. When I insisted she check the till she wasnt happy but one or two others around me saw what had happend and backed me, so with a scowl on her face she counted the till up.......... I was right ! The anoying thing was the rude attitude and when she returned the money she failed to refund (£10) she didnt appologise or anything. Needless to say we drunk up and left.

I had this the other day only without the witnesses, they point blankly refused to accept it was a £20 until I stated I wasnt moving (this was a Ladbrokes (not somewhere I usually frequent!)) until they counted up. This took about 15 minutes and then he simply gave me the £10 difference back. A few choice words and I was gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildfowler.250 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Works both ways. I had glandular fever so I took a year out of my vet degree. 6 months sleeping and then worked the last 6. Was in M&S and this guy bought a bottle of coke. So I asked him,"do you want that in a small bag?". To which his reply was,"are you smart enough to do that for me?" I never said anything What really gets me is when you pull in for someone and they don't wave/acknowledge you as they drive past. It takes two seconds to say thanks..

oscarsdad Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I was wearing my usual work attire of course, fishnet stockings with the tops on show and a denim bra! tasteful or just Coventry! I think who ever I was he would been the same, that's how it felt, like work is a necessary evil. I think I have seen you walking around Earlsdon...

unapalomablanca Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Manors tend to cost a small fortune! But I agree manners are free I did not want to be the spelling Nazi, but jesus Christ, sometimes you just cant believe the state of peoples literacy. I initially thought it was a leg pull.

Will Poon Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 English literature may not be everyone's best subject at school but I'm sure most of us can understand what the person is meant to write/type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Poon Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Everyone on this forum leads a different way of life to the next person some are more affluent than others , some have better up bringings to others, some can read better than others and some may not , you get the picture . We're all different hence why some have bad manners and some people would bend over backwards to help you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Plinker Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Apologies Pinkella for going/staying OT and carrying on this point but the only way we ALL learn anything in life is by teaching/coaching, be it shooting or grammar. There is nothing wrong with learning something new every day and I am not too proud to say it when I do. For those that care and most will not the earlier post regarding 'your/you're 'debate' - Your is a possessive adjective, indicating ownership of something e.g. that is your coat or where is your shoe. You're is a contradiction (combination) of you and are e.g. do you know where you're going or you're mad. therefore based on the context of the post in question Cosd is grammatically correct. BTW - I also hate poor customer service, it costs nothing to be polite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
