Boss: Are we not paying you enough, that you have to come in wearing those shoes?
Cute female receptionist: What’s wrong with my shoes?
Boss: They’re covered in scuff marks.
Cute female receptionist: Stop being so superficial! And they’re not scuff marks, it’s pigeon crap.
So I recently (a few weeks ago) started a job at a popular, healthy fast food restaurant – but it shall remain unnamed for this site. When I first started I’ll admit I wasn’t very ‘fast’ – who is, when they don’t know what they’re doing!?
In any case, they were desperate for another worker and I started work there at a time when the boss was having to take over for another store – so I never received official training. In any case, after just three weeks I’m pretty much completely programmed, despite the fact that, unlike the other employees, I haven’t gotten proper training like she said she’d provide me!…
Client in high end salon to receptionist: I’ve got to ask you: how do you keep such a fabulous year-round tan?
Receptionist, giving blank stare: I’m half black.
User: “I’ve just unplugged my monitor from the wall in order to clean it without getting shocked. How do I plug it back in?”
I had about ten different responses flash through my mind, but as this guy was fairly high up on the food chain of management, I had to control myself. I said, “Align the pins with the hole, and push it into the socket.” Satisfied, the user hung up.
