Okay. So first off, a little about me! I work in retail, and am a pretty happy, outgoing, genuinely nice person. I swear xP But there are some guests who REALLY know how to get under my skin, I can usually handle myself until the guest leaves and then the obscenities start flowing. The store I work for, also has a coffee shop which I am trained for and barista; I've been here for right around 2 years (I know what I'm doing xD) This is a conversation I had with a woman today, she was very rude - her attitude as almost demeaning the way she talked to me. >> I know it's a coffee shop, but come on. She didn't even say thank you! Which is my beiggest pet peeve, I don't care how bad of a day your having - you should always be nice to your barista / waiter / waitress / host / hostess etc.! We're only trying to help you get what you want! The guest is in red. 'Hello there, how are you!' "I'd like to get a choi tai latte" 'I'm sorry? Do you mean the Chai Tea Latte?' "No, I said the choi tai latte, my daughter doesn't drink tea.' 'I'm sorry miss, but the only thing we have that even resembles what you're saying would be the Chai Tea Latte.' "No, my daughter gets a latte with coffee." 'Oh, well it's a tea concentrate ma'am. It still has caffeine, just no espresso.' "My daughter is a -coffee- fanatic, she doesn't drink tea." -.- "Is there anyway for you to call her and make sure? I wouldn't want to make the wrong (nonexistent) drink." "Let me call her, we'll see." — "Hey, -other barista- will you get me a chai tea ready? I think maybe with soy; that's the only place choi would come from." — Other barista- giggles. In this time, the woman is talking to her daughters friend; "Hey! So and so, is -daughter- around? I'm are starbucks and can't remember what she wants." ……. "Is it the choi tai latte?" ……. 'Maybe see if it's the Chai Tea Latte?" o.O -.- "So its with soy? The choi tai? …… "Ohh okay! Thanks!" "Okay, I need a Soy Chai Tea Latte." 'Of course, any whipped cream on the Chai Tea?" :} "Sure!" — Make the drink 'Here's your Grande Soy Chai Tea Latte with Whipped Cream! Have a great day!" 8D ….. walks away -.- /end rant! Voila! A day in the life of me! xD

LOL!! Of course when it's happening to me it's not as funny. xD I tried working at a Pet Store once, and my most memorable conversation went like this: "Welcome to *****, can I help you with anything?"

"Yeah, we wanted to look at the monkey for sale."

"I'm sorry, but we aren't an exotic pet store, we don't sell monkeys."

"Well why in the heck not??"

O.O

"We aren't licensed to sell animals like that, ma'am."

"What kind of idiot pet store doesn't sell pets?!?!"

"We sell pets ma'am. Non-exotic pets. Cats, hamsters, etc.."

"I didn't ask to see your cats I asked to see the monkeys!"

**At this point I was trying VERY hard not to roll my eyes and question why she wasn't smart enough to get what I was trying to say.**

"There are NO monkeys here ma'am. We don't sell them. We don't advertise that we do."

"I want to talk to your boss! You aren't making any sense and I can't be here all damn day."

I laughed at the fact that 'my boss' would now have to deal with her and I rang him up. I no longer work there, I haven't for years, but I will always remember that conversation and her annoying facial expressions / loud voice. -.- I wish you luck in your upcoming encounters. XD
