I'm the same way. I don't even carry cash on me anymore.

CleBrownsfan · 01-25-2010, 10:59 AM

I have one...

I have two dogs and I usually buy a 40 lbs thing of dog food. Trying to get all the pieces of food out of the bag into a container is such a pain in the ass. It never fails - I drop 1/3 of the bag on the floor and it just pisses me off!

No lady, it's not okay for you and your walking-buddy to walk two-abreast while I'm trying to go in the other direction just because you're talking. No I won't fucking step into the grass to go around you. Why don't you fucking slide into a line for 10 fucking feet.

I'm bigger than you (as you know). And I glare right back at them, and occasionally I'll raise an eyebrow like "Yeah?" It's amusing. I laugh at it.

saldana · 01-25-2010, 12:43 PM

apologies if this is somewhere else in the thread, but i just experienced it and wanted to choke the salesgirl..this happens in alot of stores so it is not necessarily about this particular place

went into a retail store and looked around for a few minutes and was unable to find what i was looking for...finally found the girl and said, excuse me, i cannot seem to find any food dehydrators....the girl replies "oh, we dont have any of those in stock, but i can order one for you from our website"

my answer = "if i wanted to order one from your website, i wouldnt have bothered to come into your store. thanks, i will go somewhere else."

DaddyTorgo · 01-25-2010, 12:44 PM

i dunno saldana - think they're just trying to be helpful. i mean they can't exactly say "sorry we don't have any. why don't you try store X or order it online" without getting their asses fired.

And speaking of commercials, I can't stand the way they change the volume. Have it set to a nice level...get distracted by something...then BLAM!!! My eardrums are assaulted by a commercial about some tax lawyer.

What's worse is when they use the lower part of the screen to advertise the show you're already watching. Saw that last week. And it wasn't a "You're watching..." kind of thing, it was an ad.

Even though hanging to the right is usually more appropriate, I always stick to the outside when going around the corner, or at least the middle, so I can dodge either way if needed.

People who constantly use "retard" or "retarded." I know it's a reflex, and people don't mean anything by it.

But, as somebody who works at an agency serving people with developmental/cognitive disabilities, I know how often they come across it out in public or through various non-mainstream media interactions -- and I know how much of a slap in the face it is to them.

This times 1 million. I used to be super-guilty of this. I've had my perspective changed.

boberot · 01-25-2010, 01:04 PM

So my 11-year-old daughter is very much in a save-the-whales / save-the-apes / save-the-etc mindset. Very admirable.

She took the initiative to do a cute little fundraiser to raise $20 or $30 to donate to this cause, so I went to the WWF website [no, not the wrestling one] and made a donation using my credit card.

Since then, probably three times a week [minimum] I get giant, thick mailings from WWF asking me to support whatever the current initiative is. I've probably got 150 in the past year or so. I cringe at the money they're basically wasting, and think about what a poor fundraising policy it is to blast with expensive mailings every person who makes one modest donation.

JediKooter · 01-25-2010, 01:21 PM

Quiznos...for making Subway employees think that you want your sandwich toasted. Yesteday, went to subway and ordered two sandwiches, one for lunch, one for dinner. The first sandwich was the tuscan chicken melt and I clearly said, only warm up the chicken, I do not want the bread toasted. No problem. The second sandwich, a spicy italian, again, I do not want it toasted.

I guess the dude was a little frazzled because he was the only one there and there was a small, but, manageable line begining to form. So, he sees the people coming in and he decides to turn into a NASCAR pit crewman and try and make my sandwiches as fast as he can. I knew that was red flag...

So, he cuts up the bread for both sandwiches, then proceeds to put the chicken on one of the rolls. I tell him again, "I only want the chicken warmed up". So he grabs the roll, with the chicken and starts to put it on the little pizza spatula they use to toast sandwiches. I tell him to stop, "I only want the chicken warmed up." He takes the sandwich off the pizza spatula thing and comes back over to the counter. Then he starts to make the spicy italian, gets all the meat on there and the cheese. THEN, he takes both sandwiches and puts them on the pizza spatula thing. Now I'm waving my arms for him to stop and tell him to stop. I say again, "I only want the chicken warmed up". I add, "Do not toast ANY of the bread".

He takes the sandwiches back off the pizza spatula thing and brings them to the counter where I tell him again to only warm up the chicken. He looks at me. Finally, I say, "Slow down and take your time. Take the chicken off of the bread and put it on something and put it in the microwave to warm up the chicken". He goes, "So you don't want anything toasted?" Aye yi yi. I told him I don't want anything toasted and to just slow down and not rush the order, that's how things get messed up.

FINALLY, he puts JUST the chicken in a french fry looking carton and puts it in the microwave!!! YAY! But, now because he's so flustered and there are still people waiting, he's now throwing everything on my spicy italian, making a big mess. I let that go.

He finally gets my sandwiches wrapped up and he's apologizing to me and he keep saying it's no big deal, just slow down and it's a good thing you weren't defusing a bomb.

I will give him this and this is why I wasn't mad at the dude, english is not his first language, so there could have been something lost in translation, BUT, I've always been very clear when saying that I do not want my sandwiches toasted when they ask if I want my sandwiches toasted. He just got in too big of a hurry and because Quiznos thinks it's just the absolute shit because they toast their sandwiches and Subway has to compete, the dude got tunnel vision.

So fuck you Quiznos and your toasted sandwiches, you turned a simple sandwich making job into a high pressure situation. My new pet peeve is toasted sandwiches and Quiznos...

quiznos is about a billion times better than subway.

neither are like...better than say your local top-class deli, but for fast-food sandwiches quiznos is FAR AND AWAY better than subway

So Babies r us calls to tell me the crib and dresser are in that out Moms got us. The store is about 30-45 minutes away. I ask if they offer delivery, they inform me they do and it would be $85 to deliver to my area code, no problem, I say lets do it. The lady then informs me I have to come to the store to do the paperwork, etc...for the delivery. Umm, if I wanted to come to the store I wouldn't bother with having them delivered, fucking stupid.

Put that crib together right away. Our crib was delivered about a week after we ordered it, but the platform that the mattress goes on isn't level -- it's 3/4 of an inch higher in one corner. We called them for a replacement part, but that will take 2-3 weeks.

Just something about Quiznos sandwiches seems to be missing. Haven't figured it out yet and since yesterday, I'm in no rush.

Yes, a local deli, far out shines either of the two for sure. Wish there was a one close by where I'm at. I've had better sandwiches from a deli that's in a liquor store than either Subway or Quiznos.

DaddyTorgo · 01-25-2010, 01:40 PM

i've got the most amazing local deli - they use real baguettes for their sandwiches and all the meats/cheeses are imported from italy...it's like fucking heaven on a roll.

Sure they can. Every retail store I've worked at, I've done this and so have other people.

Why? Because if you're honest and helpful about other places they can try, they'll be more likely to give you another shot, even if the other place(s) has what they're looking for this go-round.

I can't remember having been told that by any of my bosses. It'd be stupid if they did. Like I said, it's actually one of those small things that helps build customer loyalty.

I worked Best Buy a year, Target a seasonal, and Victoria's Secret 4 years.

I'd completely forgotten about #2 until you mentioned it. From now on, just consider all threads started by me about some girl to be a side effect of me being off medication and bored with my present life situation.

Mustang · 01-25-2010, 03:19 PM

I don't like Quiznos just for the simple fact that what they do, I don't consider it 'toasted'. It comes out the equivalent warmth of sitting out in the sun on a 90 degree day for 20 minutes. Maybe there is some secret handshake or phrase that I need to give them to actually get the bread toasted.

rjolley · 01-25-2010, 03:30 PM

Quizno's subs come out with just the right amount of toastiness. One thing I've noticed here is they've changed their meat. The chicken for the carbonara and the beef for the cheesesteak have been changed to the generic chicken and beef used for other sandwiches. So, the end product isn't as good.

One chain sandwich shop that I've come to like is Firehouse Subs. Haven't had a bad sandwich there yet.

Pumpy Tudors · 01-25-2010, 03:34 PM

I get my sandwiches from Staples. Yes, the office supply store. You have to ask for them at the register. They're nice and warm, too.

I dare somebody to try this.

really? my bread is always toasted, sometimes charred edges. just ask them to turn the damn oven speed down/temperature up...i think they often just speed it up to get the sandwiches done quicker

MikeVic · 01-25-2010, 03:40 PM

Quiznos is on my shit list because the last time I've gone there (and I've only been there a handful of times), they tried to screw me over. I wanted to get one of those 2 for $6 deals (includes a drink), and I was tired, just wanted to grab food, go home, eat, sleep.

Anyway, I get to the front and it comes to something that seemed like a little too much money, like they punched it in wrong, but I figure ah whatever, it's like 50 cents more, I'll let it slide. I walk to the drink machine and notice I don't have a cup. So I go back and say I forgot my cup, and they want to charge me for the drink too. So I say I got the 2 for $6, and the cashier says well, it's already punched in wrong so you'll have to pay for the drink. I said they already over-charged me on the 2 for $6, now they want to charge me for the drink, and I'm not paying, I should actually be given money back and the drink. So the cashier gets some other person there, and she gives me the drink and says 'well, the order is already punched in and it's only a 50 cent difference, so...'

So I got my drink and won't be going back to Quiznos. I've lived without them up until last year, so I can go on living without them. I've never had that kind of problem at a fast food place before.

Okay, this one REALLY, and I mean REALLY ticks me off.

Parents that take up a seat to a crafts for kids event. I can understand if these parents wanna help their kids with the project, but please, get your lazy ass off the kiddie chair and give the children that are standing around a chance to work on their craft for fuck's sake.

I went to one of these events this past weekend and 4 parents were taking up a kiddie chair and I had to grab one from another table. One of the parents said, "Oh, would you like him to sit here?" LOLOL, omg, seriously? The lady only saw us standing there for about a minute before I had to grab another chair. Not only that, there were kids that were standing around waiting for one of these parents to get up! Tsk tsk tsk.

But, now because he's so flustered and there are still people waiting, he's now throwing everything on my spicy italian, making a big mess. I let that go. He finally gets my sandwiches wrapped up and he's apologizing to me and he keep saying it's no big deal, just slow down and it's a good thing you weren't defusing a bomb. I will give him this and this is why I wasn't mad at the dude, english is not his first language, so there could have been something lost in translation, BUT, I've always been very clear when saying that I do not want my sandwiches toasted when they ask if I want my sandwiches toasted. He just got in too big of a hurry and because Quiznos thinks it's just the absolute shit because they toast their sandwiches and Subway has to compete, the dude got tunnel vision. So fuck you Quiznos and your toasted sandwiches, you turned a simple sandwich making job into a high pressure situation. My new pet peeve is toasted sandwiches and Quiznos... __________________ I'm no longer a Chargers fan, they are dead to me Coming this summer to a movie theater near you: The Adventures of Jedikooter: Part 4

But, as somebody who works at an agency serving people with developmental/cognitive disabilities, I know how often they come across it out in public or through various non-mainstream media interactions -- and I know how much of a slap in the face it is to them.

She took the initiative to do a cute little fundraiser to raise $20 or $30 to donate to this cause, so I went to the WWF website [no, not the wrestling one] and made a donation using my credit card. Since then, probably three times a week [minimum] I get giant, thick mailings from WWF asking me to support whatever the current initiative is. I've probably got 150 in the past year or so. I cringe at the money they're basically wasting, and think about what a poor fundraising policy it is to blast with expensive mailings every person who makes one modest donation.

I ask if they offer delivery, they inform me they do and it would be $85 to deliver to my area code, no problem, I say lets do it. The lady then informs me I have to come to the store to do the paperwork, etc...for the delivery. Umm, if I wanted to come to the store I wouldn't bother with having them delivered, fucking stupid.

Mustang Grizzled Veteran Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: Wisconsin	I don't like Quiznos just for the simple fact that what they do, I don't consider it 'toasted'. It comes out the equivalent warmth of sitting out in the sun on a 90 degree day for 20 minutes. Maybe there is some secret handshake or phrase that I need to give them to actually get the bread toasted. __________________ You, you will regret what you have done this day.

The chicken for the carbonara and the beef for the cheesesteak have been changed to the generic chicken and beef used for other sandwiches. So, the end product isn't as good. One chain sandwich shop that I've come to like is Firehouse Subs. Haven't had a bad sandwich there yet. Last edited by rjolley : 01-25-2010 at 03:30 PM.

They're nice and warm, too. I dare somebody to try this. __________________ No, I am not Batman, and I will not repair your food processor.

I wanted to get one of those 2 for $6 deals (includes a drink), and I was tired, just wanted to grab food, go home, eat, sleep. Anyway, I get to the front and it comes to something that seemed like a little too much money, like they punched it in wrong, but I figure ah whatever, it's like 50 cents more, I'll let it slide. I walk to the drink machine and notice I don't have a cup. So I go back and say I forgot my cup, and they want to charge me for the drink too. So I say I got the 2 for $6, and the cashier says well, it's already punched in wrong so you'll have to pay for the drink. I said they already over-charged me on the 2 for $6, now they want to charge me for the drink, and I'm not paying, I should actually be given money back and the drink. So the cashier gets some other person there, and she gives me the drink and says 'well, the order is already punched in and it's only a 50 cent difference, so...' So I got my drink and won't be going back to Quiznos. I've lived without them up until last year, so I can go on living without them. I've never had that kind of problem at a fast food place before.

Dodgerchick College Benchwarmer Join Date: Oct 2009 Location: Austin, TX	Okay, this one REALLY, and I mean REALLY ticks me off. Parents that take up a seat to a crafts for kids event. I can understand if these parents wanna help their kids with the project, but please, get your lazy ass off the kiddie chair and give the children that are standing around a chance to work on their craft for fuck's sake. I went to one of these events this past weekend and 4 parents were taking up a kiddie chair and I had to grab one from another table. One of the parents said, "Oh, would you like him to sit here?" LOLOL, omg, seriously? The lady only saw us standing there for about a minute before I had to grab another chair. Not only that, there were kids that were standing around waiting for one of these parents to get up! Tsk tsk tsk. __________________ DON'T ITCH THAT NOSE!
