You Look Like You Need Something To Do...


How ...dare you??? Do they even KNOW what goes on behind the lines? The amount of things we have to do in a day from people that WORK here, let alone customers..then just because I actually get to sit down for ONE minute, somebody want to say something like that....

Last but not least dont EVER stay on the phone in a teller line, and PLEASE do not leave your garbage for a teller or customer service person to throw away.....YOU CRAZY!?!?!?

I know some of you in here have done this!

What do you think?

Bad day at work ?

The general public are animals...think like that and you can let this shit go.

No just tired of people's ISH. Really it's like...I have to TELL YOU not to throw your lollipop wrapper at me for you not to do it? This is a BANK foo!

Im used to it...but today Im just really in need of a vacation...San Francisco really spoiled me. But I bet they are worse out there too.

I wouldn't dare say that, but I sure as hell have thought it!

I know you all work hard, but it is rather disconcerting when the bank/store is packed and you see a clerk moving at a snail's pace. Frankly, it pisses me off. Breaks should be taken out of sight of customers, especially if the place is extremely busy.

The last time I had idol conversation in a bank I was speaking with a Chinese teller who spoke Cantonese.

I actually knew a little cantonese, and I told her excitedly that I knew Cantonese!!!

She asked me to speak some, and that's when it dawned on me the only things in Cantonese that I knew were filthy dirty...


The nicest thing would be: Deuw Le Mah Chow Hai (fuck your momma's stinky pussy).

I then told her, I couldn't say what I knew.

I think she thought I was being a creep.

Well since you have so much time to be bitching about it here...you OBVIOUSLY need something to do. I think your customers are right!

















Just kidding!

I agree, customers can be a P.I.T.A., but I also think customer service makes a person jaded, and makes us unfairly jump to conclusions about our customers. I used to look for what made each of my customers a jerk. Often I would be proven wrong, but it didn't really change my attitude of judgement.

Sometimes an innocent comment or action from a customer is lumped in with what 100 people have done previously. That is not totally fair.

Speaking as someone who's spent years in retail and customer service....THANK YOU for this post!

Plenty of people like to bitch and moan about their experience in stores or with customer service and never stop to consider that they may be the problem.

The worst IMO is not the outright rudeness from a minority of customers, but the thinly-veiled condescension coming from certain others. I can handle being sworn at, but I can't handle being talked down to.

I always give that person the benefit of the doubt because you never KNOW what is going on up front. That customer may be giving that person 18 different transactions and then want to talk about her grandbaby's in the same time.

people still go INTO banks?

People are fucking ridiculous.
They say shit without thinking, and take things too lightly sometimes.
Next time that happens, tell them,
"You're right. How about I T-bag you. That would give me something to occupy my time."

... It's effective.

Wow. I don't think it's such a bad comment.

Maybe to you, but when's the last time someone said it to you after you've been busting your ass all day? Even if they're just trying to be funny or cute and don't know any better, it's aggravating.

Time to get a new job honey...or go back to school and get a higher paying job so you can go back and do the same thing that pissed you off to other tellers

Even if I was busting my ass all day, even if I had a total shit day...it's really not a bad comment at all and I wouldn't read that much into it.

If things like this make people soooo angry I'd really hate to see how they would handle real situations that really impact your life in a seriously shitty way.

I cannot even BEGIN to tell you the thoughtless things people say to me at work on a regular basis.

Like they work here and really know what it takes to get this job done.

Crazy!

Nothinbutjoy said:

agreed!

JustErin said:

Ok well lets give you One Foreign Draft in British pounds worth 3,000 (needs approval by manager), then lets make you close up (or forced to help people in the same time) while having a deadline of 70 Money Orders (because one of your coworkers called off work and the email never got to your coordinator) to finish in a couple of hours. Let's then throw in some Cash dispensers breaking down and there is only two of you working up front because one of your 3 co workers has to leave at one, and the other one is working in another part of the city and then lets have a couple of customers yell at you because you misunderstood a digit and then the next customer tell you in your face, "You look like you're bored here's some work for ya..".

I LOOVE my job but there are days that I just want to say "BITCH SHUT THE FUCK UP"

Genesia said:

How else would you rob them?

i can understand, having worked retail off and on for years, and my husband still working retail. customers ask the most stupid questions with zero logic sometimes! and feel like you are a piece of trash they can tell what to do, i used to get so angry and stressed at times!

paisleypark4 said:

Yes, you're right. But what pisses me off is the clerk asking about the grandbabies and then standing there and holding a conversation while 10 people are waiting to be serviced.

Yo Iziah, at least it wasn't Rip Torn showing up at your branch!

paisleypark4 said:

Honey, I've had some really, REALLY shitty days at work, worse than this.

I don't doubt that this was a really bad day for you...I just don't think that comment was all that bad.

Slave2daGroove said:

Those are the good days...I LOOOVE calling the police and having to catch criminals at the bank!!!! I caught 3 in the past 3 months already
I get to close up and talk to the men in blue about what I saw.

JustErin said:

Oh yes it is when somebody telling you that you are bored and you NEED to do something as if I need soembody's sarcastic comment at that time.

I would love to see someone say this to a lawyer, or broker, or accoutant, or a cop.
