THE REALLY STUPID
Last week I
was working at the front of where I work, doing what we call ‘meet and greet’ where
you meet customers as they enter, you greet them and assist them to go where
they are supposed to go. So this guy tells me his query and as I am explaining
how he can get assistance I hand him a form. By this time, I am so tired, hungry,
and my cheeks are literally burning from talking and smiling - it’s almost end
of day, so you can imagine. And this guy asks me “so what am I supposed to do
with this form?” Ah! What did you want to do with it, give it to the cow? FILL
IT IN SILLY!
THE REALLY DIFFICULT
Yesterday,
I got in to a shop where one customer was giving the manager a piece of his mind!
He was so furious, he was shaking, “you are so ridiculously expensive here! Why
aren’t you like so and so, I go there all the time and they do such and such,
way better than what I am getting here!” All the while I’m thinking, oh come
on! Don’t be such a nuisance!!! Go there where you like the services! Nxa!
THE SMELLY
One time,
again when I was doing the meet and greet thing, I met a number of guys who
almost made me run out of air. It wasn’t just bad breadth; it was a nasty odour
coming from the whole person, and not just sweat, but a combination of bad
breadth, sweat, and not having showered for so many days! I almost died!
WANNABE UP CLASS
These type
of people aren’t irritating per say, they just leave you in wonder. Seriously!
One client almost had me doubling over in laughter once and it took me all I
had to keep a straight face on. To think I had actually greeted her in Shona,
the least she could have done is stick to the mother tounge and save us all the
embarrassment, lol.
THE BADLY DRESSED
My friends
and I in High School used to call it “good clothes happening to bad people”,
lol or “bad clothes happening to good people”. Do not get me wrong, I am not
talking about the financially challenged (could never be a snob like that), I
am talking of just plain poor wardrobe choice. One guy had all the girls at my
work place in fits of laughter. We would all signal at each other and double
over kkkk and poor guy had no idea he had just spiced up our day. Honestly, he
had on white shoes, red pants, red floral tucked in shirt, bow tie and shadesJ. For real, in this 21st
century he was confident enough to walk like that.
And do you know
what the worst part of dealing with these kinds of people is? You’ve got to
keep your cool, smile and politely serve them. Tsk tsk dealing with the public –
no job like it.
