Eiley 0 #26 March 22, 2004 QuoteQuote Sometimes customers can be the stupidest fucks in the world. Check this......A customer once asked me if you bake a Hawaiian pizza with the pineapple on it. This is after I handed it to him, with the pineapple on it. Not that I would ask that question, but how are us mere mortals supposed to know you don't cook it on there? . I know I am no pizza wizard. So much for the "customer oriented place" you work at eh? Okay, I've had a few drinks and I might be completely wrong, but I think I've finally figured out what's going on and why what seems like a perfectly reasonable question is a stupid question... What CT failed to mention is he sells prepackaged pizzas that you take home and cook yourself. So customer wasn't asking whether CT cooked a pizza with pineapple on it or added the pineapple later, he was wondering whether he, the customer, was supposed to take it home and remove the pineapple before cooking it. That's also why CT suggestively sells cookie dough - coz the oven's on and they might want to cook cookies for dessert. Is that right? nothing to see here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #27 March 22, 2004 Strange thread. I'll reply in general 1 - We have a place called Papa Murphy's (take and bake pizza, cookie dough....) It's the best. anyway - this whole thread speaks to customer service and this self superior attitude of many staff at these places (not about the customers at all). Customers do not live this stuff daily and have questions. Get over it. If you've heard it 20 times, it does NOT matter, it's the first time that customer asked it likely and they might be distracted or just not care and expect some of the details from the staff because that's THEIR JOB. playing jokes on customers, playing off their ignorance, it's bad form and cause for dismissal. That gas station post is completely out of line. I hope the driver was heads up enough to recognize the prank and contacted the owners. It can seriously hurt the business. I don't care if you are responsible for lives of hundreds of people or work a temporary minimum wage job, if you don't care enough to do it right, then quit and open up a spot for someone that does care. If not, this is plain sabotage. You might not care, but other employees might just need this business to succeed in order to feed their kids. (of course I'm post whoring, so I see the irony here. And I've also posted "There are no such thing as stupid questions, only stupid people that keep asking questions" and I also see the irony there.) ...

councilman24 37 #28 March 22, 2004 Quote Another good one is when the customer asks if the pizza comes with cheese on it. No, really. It doesn't come with sauce either, unless you specifically ask for it, and pay extra for it. Thomas BUT, at my favorite pizza place (run by Italians) in Kufstein, Austia all pizza DOESN'T come with cheese! Only those with cheese listed as a topping.I'm old for my age.

WrongWay 0 #29 March 22, 2004 I think the best I've heard (and I hear it all the time) is "Can I apply for a loan over the phone?" So many times I wanna just say, "Sure!! Now I'll just need your name, your address, and how much money you want so we can send you a check!!" Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.

kansasskydiver 0 #30 March 22, 2004 I work at a help desk and get all the stupid questions from people "So if I turn off my computer will I have to reinstall the software?" "Double click on my computer (woman picks up the mouse and puts it on the monitor)" "Did you put a filter on each phone in the house? -Yes -How many phones do you have? -4 -How many filters did you install? -Just one -Sooooooooooooo you DIDN'T install a filter on each phone" "Ummm yeah, I'm at a screen that's asking "Do you have an existing member id ending in @domain.com?" What do I do? Ok, now what? Ok now what? Ok do I press next? Ok now what, it says enter my name? Now what? Ok it asks for my birthdate, what do I do? Ok now what?"<--- See look, pink dolphins DO exist! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
