:( Well your government sucks. idk, I really don't see a problem with lowering the drinking age. If anything, it probably teaches people to be responsible with alcohol at a lower age. And if they're getting drunk off their ass, they have only themselves to blame instead of whoever bought them the booze. 8/
That...doesn't seem too right. XD; If people can't be responsible at 21 and older, after knowing the dangers that it can cause, why would they be able to do so at a younger age? The typical teenager probably feels entitled and like they're able to make a proper decision. I also get the feeling that you'd have even younger kids trying to drink, not that it doesn't already happen, but it would probably be easier for them.
Lol well I wish she'd called somewhere else then. :[ It was just crazy. Oh and there was this other person who nearly made me cry because I was so frustrated with them--she called like a week before Easter expecting my to accomodate her request for a reservation for a party of like... 20. Of course, the only time we could fit her in was like 8 at night and she wanted brunch--our busiest time even if it WASN'T Easter Sunday. Oh my god she was so annoying. x_x I was on the phone arguing with her for a good 15 minutes before I finally just passed her off to my manager who came out of her office like 10 minutes later all annoyed and then came over to bi--er, complain about her with me. XD;
My manager was pretty awesome but v. busy during the days so usually she wasn't up at the front of the restaurant for me to pass annoying customers to. 8|
But yeah, there's being assertive as a customer and then there's being batshit insane. :|
Oh wow, that must have been a troublesome person if she could bring you close to actually crying, even if you were frusurated, that's not something I hear about from you all too often. XD; It sounds totally unreasonable, though, I'm glad your manager was able to deal with her and give you someone else you could complain with.
Ah, my managers were always the type to be walking around like, every ten minutes to see if anyone needed help, of course it kept them there a little longer, but I doubt they cared too much since they were on the clock and would get paid for sticking around a little bit longer.
Heeeey, since when you we able to say batsh- here? :O
I once had a lady yell at me for opening a bag that we let customers use to hold baked goods. We have to look inside to check what it is so we can charge them correctly. So she hands me the bag and she's like "there's two donuts in there." We still have to check because people might be trying to steal something in the bag. So I open it to check and she's like "Don't open the bag. I don't you breathing and getting your germs on my food." At first I laughed, but then she said "seriously, close the bag now or I'll call your manager over here." Well then I was pissed so as I was scanning her food, I crushed every fragile thing she had with great subtlety. I hate people like her.
...and here I thought you wouldn't do anything like that. XD; I can totally relate, I've dealt with so many annoying customers like that, it seems like a lot of people really do lose their ability to be reasonable when they're customers. After working in retail, it's the type of thing I would never want to put anyone else through.
