hm.

yeah. Actually it's the ones that are patronizing that bother me more than the straight up assholes.

This guy who works for the college just came in while he was shmoosing with some other alum or someone and said said to him about me, "She's good at blushing".

that probably sounds like nothing but I jsut find it rude.
Plus I wasn't blushing. It's not my fault i have rosacea people!

You should have said "That's not me. That's my twin."

And then if he said "you have a twin?" you could have said "This isn't a library! Buy that or get out!"

yes. I am a fat red headed man.

SW, he also told me I have a twin because apparently someone who lives next to him looks like me. When I told him I actually do have a twin, he didn't care.

I'm over it now. Thanks for letting my whine guys.

You should have told him he also has a twin named Joseph Merrick, and if he said he didn't get it, you could have said "You work at a school! You're fired!"

And then when he said "you can't fire me!" you could have gone "Yes I can! You're fired! You're all fired!" and then run out screaming.

He probably wouldn't bother you anymore.

hehe.

i probably should have done that.
he just came in after a string of crabby customers and for some reason it just pissed me off.

Sorry. Probably did not warrant a thread.

Good thing SW already has the worst thread ever or this may be it.

idiot customers are great, you can completely take the piss out of them without them knowing. But then being patronizingly nice to angry customers is fun too.

Word, nigga.

While many of my customers are locals, and are great people, many others are extremely stupid, sheep-like, annoying morons. I get yelled at all the time for things that aren't my fault and have nothing to do with Photo, or for things that are simply caused by the customer's lack of understanding of a product or service.

As I have mentioned before, an alarmingly disproportionate amount of my problem customers are Brazilian. I still don't understand this fact, but every time I try to convince myself otherwise, some Brazilian jackass or jackassette comes in and does something completely retarded, like:

- submitting an order for 326 pictures 10 minutes before closing time and demanding that it be printed that day (Wednesday)

-shoving SD cards in the receipt slot, floppy drive, etc, then yelling at me for 15 minutes as to why they couldn't get their pictures to come up (Several times incl. last week and yesterday)

-complaining that they didn't get their negatives back with their digital order (yesterday)

-handing me a dead digital camera, then asking me to transfer all the pictures from it (Wednesday)

by the way, the vast majority of those interactions were with Brazilians, though I do, on much lesser occasions, have less serious issues with other demographics and nationalities.

try working for a company that is also a service as well as sales, the knobs think you owe them something because they 'give' you money every month.

That's pretty much what running the photo lab is... Now remember that I work in Boston, where pretty much everyone is already elitist and extremely self-entitled.

The majority of my customers are either Irish or orthodox Jewish. As far as customer percentage, Brazilians are a distinct minority, but comprise an overwhelmingly disproportionate amount of the problem customers I tend to face.

this sentence doesn't make sense to me. Maybe I'm brazillian.

I just had a lady come in and get annoyed because her hair got static-y after trying on a sweatshirt.
