.... You are dumb because you don't think.
Before I go on with the dialogue that just happened 15 minutes ago, keep this in mind. Our laundromat supplies over 15 carts which people can use on the premises to transport clothing from the washer to the dryer. Out of the 15 plus carts, this customer decides to use the one WE use for dirty drop off clothes. It gets better.
Customer: Is this the only cart I can use?
At this point, I felt like telling her "Yes. We all share ONE cart. We are trying to save on money so you are lucky that its your turn for using this cart." However, I didn't.
Me: No ma'am. There are more carts in the back that you can utilize. (Notice how polite I am). We use that specific cart for drop off dirty clothes.
The cart that she wants to use, has a plastic cover so dirt won't fall on the ground and so we could distinguish which cart it is.
The customer decides to ignore what I just said and proceeds to flip over the cover and says...
Customer: I will just flip over the cover and use it.
Me: But... there are cleaner ones in the back that you can use.
Customer: Yeah, this one looks dirty.
I mumble "no shit, welcome to 10 minutes ago."
She finally went to retrieve a clean one and then rolls her eyes at me. Oh yeah, she also asked me where the garbage is when she was standing 2 feet away from it. She actually came into the office to ask if I have a garbage. Mind you, the office is employees only. Lrn2readplease.
Yesterday I did not write a post because I decided to go out with my friends and treat myself to a movie. Go see Drag Me to Hell. Its a pretty damn good movie and it made me scream. By the time I got home, I went straight to bed without turning off my computer. It was on so I could charge my Mp3 player. Before I closed the laundromat last night, a guy decided to extend my two words into a rant while stomping back and forth. I kept mouthing to my friend "oh my god" and she kept mouthing back "what did you do". Moral of the story, don't talk to people that obviously don't look stable and complain about a box of tide...
I just want to say I am thankful for not working this morning. It was hectic busy and I was too busy being sick in bed.
UPDATE: I love it when I have pleasant customers at the end of the day. Having pleasant customers allows me to remember that there is a bit of hope out there and it also helps me forget those moments where I lose a brain cell.

Note to self: Never give a customer a soap box or they might start an angry one man marching band.
ReplyDeleteI love the title of this entry XD
You should answer "No this isn't the only cart, her children are hiding under the tables in the back."
