Anoying Sayings By Counter Staff

[ivor4781]

which are your most hated,my particular two are after you have asked for a coffee, they either reply "no worries sir" or "no problem sir" why would i worry? why would it be a problem? whats wrong with just a thankyou

[Maydup]

My pet hate is being asked..."what was the name?"

The name is..... and still is.....

As for "cheers guys" ....well that makes me spit.

[mushroom25]

me: black coffee.
barista: would you like milk with that?

aaaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!!

[McMouse]

@*&% off and shop somewhere else.

[China Doll]

None of that would bother me.

The only thing I ever dislike is extremely pushy sales staff... and then I just walk out.

[shoota]

'Last orders please'

[shoota]

Ans 'Time gentlemen please' is even worse....

[viv38]

ivor, they're only being friendly and as long as they're friendly I would have no cause for concern !

[ummmm]

Check out staff asking if you need help with your packing even when you only have about 5 items.

[viv38]

Mind you, the checkout girl who is nattering away to the customer in front of you even when she's finished and then apologises for the 'delay', gets my back up a wee bit !

[maggiebee]

In Peterhead if you ask for a "99" they always ask if you want a flake in it. If you didn't want a flake would you not just ask for a cone?

[boingo]

'Would you like help with your packing?' when I'm only buying a loaf and a carton of milk. I know they are being helpful and friendly and it doesn't ruin my day, but it is a bit silly!

[boingo]

You beat me to ummmm!

[boingo]

'to it'!

Your cashier was obviously faster than mine!

[Old_Geezer]

"Would you like me to show you how to use the self service till ?". Implying they think I am too thick to be able to work it out for myself, and that the correct procedure is to encourage them to fail to provide even till service, presumably because I'm considered a valueless nuisance that ought to be so pleased they have allowed me to buy something that I should do their job for them, and no doubt doff my cap and tug at my forelock at the same time I leave.

[PIGGYPOO]

"Would you like to save 10% on your purchases today Madam?".......I am really just trying to sell you a Store Credit card with extortionate % APR....so I can get commission........... grrrrrr

[BlueToffee]

My pet hates........Hi guys, and yes mate!

[237SJ]

"Thank you for waiting" (when I`ve only been waiting a minute)
"You`re welcome"
and when paying in the US "What`s your email address" (me - in my head "I`m not telling you")

[andy-hughes]

i accept that language evolves, and Australian soaps have given us 'No worries ...' which is fine, but they have also given us the 'moronic interogative' where the voice goes up at the end of the sentence even when it is not a statement - which is not fine.

My major hate - which has now died out with the virtual elimination of payment by cheque was - "Can you just pop your address on the back of the cheque ..."

No, I don't 'pop' my adress anywhere, unless you can offer me a good reason why I should.

I have walked out of shops without the goods when being told it is 'management policy'.

In fact, it is company policy, because the company bulk-sells the addresses on to junk-mailing firms.

As long as staff are polite, I never take much notice of the latest buzz phrase - they are just trying to be nice.
