VENTING...............
In a lot of cases, being in customer service can be extremely rewarding, especially younger customers new to gardening that appreciate the assistance and knowledge I provide. I also enjoy the contented older customers who know you by name and are easy going. However, some days in customer service are like fingernails down a black board. And I say "days" because it's almost like all the F/Wits come out of the woodwork together. And so, when I looked up from pruning roses, I noticed a regular pest. Now, I know that interaction with this particular lady never leads to much other than wasting 45 minutes and the sale of a single punnet of seedlings. And so, I tend to leave her to it or find others to serve who will reward my effort with a decent sale. And so, as I was advising a couple on some quite expensive potential purchases, this woman followed me around, then butted in and dragged me away to answer a trivial question on a $8 punnet of seedlings. And then the phone comes out to show me something pointless, then asked questions that only she could decide. I then waved a colleague to attend to the customers who I had been serving. In the end, I managed to get away from her while she went to get her money from the car. While we don't get commissioned for sales, I was very annoyed at loosing what would have been a more lucrative and more productive use of my time to the boss. Throw in a grumpy woman who always asks questions but never listens to the answer because she is queuing up the next question, then complains about the price. Or the boisterous guy who appeared drunk and accompanied by a lady who wanted to look at something particular..........but acknowledged she had no intention to buy it. Or random phone calls from people wanting to talk to an expert and not someone who doesn't know anything. It's lucky it went somewhat quiet after 3.30, I would have gone postal if I had to deal with any more...................

I used to love the callouts from office managers for no lights in an area. They would walk you to said area and when i would flick the light switch on theyd remark "i could have done that". My response would be "well, you didnt, sign here please".

Where I currently work, we have a few light towers that will do the odd C/B trip out, by our company safety policy we are not allowed to reset breakers, must get the sparky, go figure.

Only reason that is is because liability. The reason for that is a tripped circuit has to be diagnosed before reset. So that has to be by a sparky. Then the liabilty is on them if they stuff up, as in reset something that is not safe, then job not done properly, duty of care not fulfilled and all that business. Its all about the big L word. The L word is a business owners biggest fear.
