this old lady just walked up to my booth
i asked her how she was doing and she just said "I'll be better when you call for my ride,...I know you have a phone back there...and I don't need a cell phone"
then she proceeds to tell me the number she wants to call before i've even reached for the phone
i hand her the cordless phone and she says "No you call it"
she tells the old folks transit service (whatever it's called) were she is the just sets the phone down and walks away without even saying thank you
i love my job

there's one old lady who will ask me to call the transit service for her and tell them to come pick her up
2 mins later she'll be back asking me to call them back cause they're not there yet
she's seriously asked me to call them 8 times in a 20 min span so that i can tell them to hurry up
i don't know if her mind is just that far gone and she can't keep track of time, or if she is just that much of a b**ch
i'm leaning more to the second option, i wanna say maam this is a ride across town that only costs $2, you can wait 10 mins for them to get here

My goal in life is to be crazy as an old lady actually...

I don't plan on harassing people at work but I do plan on doing at least these two things ( and I'll come up with more as I go along.)

I'm going to put laundry soap and food coloring in public fountains.

I'm going to throw water balloons off bridges/buildings at people below.

I can see the police being called 'come on granny it's time to go home.' "You go to hell, don't make me beat you with my walker!" 'Now ma'am, you need to stop throwing things at people.' "Don't make me club you with my artificial hip!" I'll be all kinds of fun.

You gotta stand your ground. Make them say please or throw them a quarter and say find a pay phone or buy one from here.

people do that to me all the time!

for some reason I swear they think I'm an information booth..

I get asked for directions, where the washrooms are and people try to give me stuff for lost and found but the worst is when they get mad at me cause the rides or the pay phone ate their money... 😕

I used to expect more from the generation who is always talking about respect and "in my day" but everyones the same asshole regardless of age.

hehehehe I just had a customer of mine put the smack down on an older lady!!!!

I was pitching a sale to a potential customer, and up walks some lady who very rudely interrupted me to ask where a store was..

Me: (talking with my customer)

Rude lady: (very loud) Where's Banana Republic

Me: (still talking with my customer)

Rude lady: Ma'am I'm asking you a question, where's Banana Republic!?!

My Customer: Did you notice this was a Sprint kiosk and that this nice young lady and I were having a conversation? Please do yourself a favor and learn how do read....mall directory is right down the hall.

Rude lady: 🤭

I could'nt believe it, that was one cool a$$ customer

I think I told this story before, but I had someone cut in line when I was helping someone out (nice person too). The a$$hat who butted in slams his phone on the table asking for help. So I turns to customer1 and ask him. "customer2 just showed up and wants help, do you mind giving up the space in line you had for half an hour so I can help him?" Cusomer2 grabs phone and walked out.

Watch it, because next time you tell a story about you being discriminated against for being gay I may make a similar jab.

I wouldn't have done it. I would have stared at her until she politely asked to use the phone, or I would have told her that she could buy a cell phone and call anyone she wants. Even though she said she didn't want one, I would keep suggesting it until she left. Perhaps throw something at her as she walks away just for the fun of it. I like to cuss and flick off d*ckwad customers after they walk out the door. I sometimes get busted if they take their sweet time closing the door. I don't really care. They're not the kind of customer I want coming back anyhow. No loyalty. Cheap. Not worth the effort in most cases. Let someone else deal with their crap.

If she ever comes back tell her that your boss has noticed an increase of outbound, non-business related calls lately. So, he's set forth a company rule making all phone lines inbound only.

Then subtly point out that it was the number she wants you to call that is what set it off.

Just think of it this way. You have a long prosperous life ahead of you and she'll be dead in a few bitter-filled years.
