Just a bit of fun really.

Are there any parts of your job you hate?

I work in an office and a job I got "landed" with when I started was ordering sandwiches on a Friday morning from the local shop (as in bacon & egg etc).

Last Friday it took up so much time, there were so many people wanting sarnies. Then the receptionist had a hissy fit at me because there was butter on her bread and apparently she's allergic to dairy. I told her if she said no butter I would have told them, but she didn't. And they forgot to put the brown sauce on. She gave me the sandwich back and said "I can't eat this, I want my money back", I think expecting me to refund her, but I refused. Then she picked up the phone and called the sandwich bar, by which time I had already disappeared upstairs. She never came back to me about what they said.

One of the guys upstairs said that she must be allergic to manners as well as dairy, lol! For the record she's a temp.

    I find the worst part about my job is the fact some of our customers will call in three/four/five times a day!

    I'm grateful to them for paying my wages (and I must be doing something right for them to keep coming back) but I do feel like saying: "we aren't the only shop in town!"
    It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.
