Jimmy K vent thread

[Dr. Jack]

In honor of our own American Idol back, think it's appropriate to start a new vent thread.

What's pissing you off lately?

Here's one for me

I'm in Walgeeen yesterday picking up a prescription, and it's my turn in line. 3 people standing there, talking like I'm not even there. 5 minutes go by and guy says I'll be right with you. Then the phone rings. He answers and helps this person on phone for another 5 minutes. I was about to have a fit

so when did it stop being all about the customer?

when ESPN stays with a college basketball game to the end that is clearly out of reach when another ( an most times) bigger game is about to start.

i dont need to see garbage time with teams up 20 with 2 minutes left when a big Conference game has started already

I worked retail/sales for years and absolutely agree that customer service is dead. But at the same time I think it has to do with customer loyalty being dead as well. Now instead of having a relationship between businesses and customers you have people shopping for the best deals. I pretty much just shop online now and save myself the aggravation.

How about when you get a bill after going out to eat; tip is already included and they dont tell you dont that shit (happened to me last week at a Benihanna-type restaurant...lucky for me my wife and friends caught it)

Astute post here

I HATE when people make a guy thats working , job suck. The guy thats an asshole to the waitress over small shit, or the guy that pretends not to know to tip a person giving you good service. SCUM of capitalistic society imo

But, if a worker is not capeable of doing his or her basic job I will lose it just the same, most people with shitty jobs are most likely either extreme, especially a place like walgreens. Its either they have been working at a place like that for too long, or they are working thier first job ever.

people working need to be giving the benifit of the doubt, but if they cant do normal tasks' AND appear not to care, they definately should be called out and made fun of for being stupid.

People kill me because Walmart is universally mocked and people act like they all hate it but you can't argue with their sales figures lol apparently someone is shopping there......to me it's one of the signs of the apocalypse.

My g/f will actually drive out of her way to go there to grocery shop, takes literally like double the time for her to do it but she's convinced we're saving a ton of cash.....the best part is I work in the DC for a grocery chain here but she'd rather hit a competitor anyway.

I can see if you have a table of like 20 people and they're taking care of the wait staff or whatever I guess but my understanding has always been that a tip is merit-based. If you're going to automatically include a tip anyway, why not just pay servers more to begin with.

People during rush hour traffic who treat the highway like a race track weaving in and out of traffic, from lane to lane, anytime they see an opening. Had a lady going 80 use the shoulder as a lane to get into an opening.

I understand frustration if people are going slow or right at speed limit with the road wide open but when traffic is flowing at 65-70 (when posted speed limit is 55) makes my blood boil.

my biggest pet peeve is when the dumbf*cks at the drive-thru of fast food places (McDonald's, Wendy's, etc...) put cheese on the burger even when you specifically say "no cheese". Hell, at McDonald's they do not have a plain Quarter Pounder on their menu anymore. You actually have to order the Quarter Pounder with cheese, and say "no cheese". Lang gets it right more often then they do !
