    Angry Your Experience with Service or Lack thereof

    So this morning i stop by the Gas station i stop at every day i go to work, i get up at 4 in the morning and then put in gas get some sweets and all that. i stop and an attendant walks up to me i tel him fill up with 95 please. and he walks off for the next 5 minutes he's looking for someone else to help me, why i don't know.

    Then another 2 minutes goes by and here come another attendant walking as fast as a Parkinson's diabetic with a walker that forgot he was supposed to be moving, he gets to me and asks what i want?

    So i just lost all self control and told him to take the petrol hose and shove it somewhere the sun don't shine and maybe he'll catch a wake up.

    Drove to another garage and get there tell the attendant fill up with 95 he goes and M*$rs 93 into my tank and spills a shitload of petrol over my tank and seat i felt like nailing him with my helmet.

    Drive off pissed off cos now i'm late and i smell of petrol, get to the toll gate and the woman in the booth is fast asleep. honking and tapping on the glass didn't wake her up.

    if i can work 12 hours night shift sure as hell they can at least do 8 hours. So yeah the amount of service we get in this country is pathetic.

    Anyone else's views?

    That just sounds like too much random for 1 morning!

    I generally get service where I go, mostly because I am patient when it comes to things.

    I see a lot of people blow their tops so quick at crap service where I would just wait a few minutes more.

    Why shouldn't they? These idiots are getting paid to do that why shouldn't people expect some decent service. Its these peoples attitudes like we owe them something

    I think my point of view stems from me being in a retail environment for 5+ years. I've seen people flip out for the stupidest things and most of them are so unreasonable! But I'm glad I'm out of that industry.

    My dad had some awesome stories from KFC. He once had a body builder as a store manager. On day a guy was causing shit about a burger that was missing mayo, then he calls the manager and out comes this massive guy. The manager calmly said I'll make you another burger but please don't throw it at my face like you did with the last one. That customer got quiet very quickly after that.

    Bitching about no mayo is a bit cheap, especially when there are tomato and mayo stands for the customers.....

    When I first heard the story he was described as one of those arrogant guys who can't wait to pick a fight. He was quite happy to through his burger at a girl though so that says enough.
