A Punch to the Face...a Venting Thread!

[The Captain]

The people in the local Wal-mart.....it's like someone opened the gates on the damn stereotypical hillbilly trailer park....

I used to work for Wa*Mart. They treat their workers like dog **** than spit them out the door ! I refuse to set one foot in any of their stores ever again. They are an evil company that is a threat to all of the world. Wal*Mart must be destroyed !

Lately it has been these ****** members that come on to the board and try to spam a hundred posts so they can get Freeones points. What an annoyance.

I really **** those people at best buy and circuit city. They are friggin bottom feeders. I know it's their job and everything and they work off of commision but if I need any help I will come and fetch you. Even if I go in those places to buy something, I might not depending on how many people **** me off. Last week my wife and I were looking for a new bedroom suit so we went to Big Sandy. I didn't want to go in because the sales people are the same way. As soon as we hit the door someone caught us and I told them we were just looking for now. Not ten minutes later she came over again and asked us. When we went back to the televisions, the guy back there was following this older gentleman around. When we showed up he made a bee line straight for us, and when he figured out that we were not interested in electronics he went back to following the other man telling him how this tv has a great picture yada yada yada. When I go to buy a tv I know what I want and if you don't have it, no amount of talking is going to change my mind. Sorry I just **** pushy salespeople. They do it because I am guessing the majority of the time they can pressure people into getting something. I treat car salesman the same way. They start asking me all this stuff I will walk straight off the lot and go somewhere else. Ignorinig them and treating them like crap is always fun especially since they need you for the sale.

I've been on both sides of the fence.

I, too, dislike "pushy" sales representatives, but at the same time, one has to realize that - in many cases - it's a requirement of the job ... especially if you work on commission.

The first words out of my mouth whenever I go into a business and someone approaches me is, "Thank you for the offer of assistance, but I'm here to just browse. If I have any questions or need your help, I'll ask for you specifically." And I say it with a smile on my face.

Nine times out of ten, when you show someone respect, they will in turn treat you as you wish. I, too, have work in commissioned retail sales... and I knew exactly who needed assistance and when they needed assistance. Knowing how to "read" your customers and clients and anticipating their questions is the sign of an excellent sales professional. A true sales representative should be "invisible" just like a consummate waiter - never hovering, annoying, or aggressive; but ready to provide superior service when called upon to do so.

But yes, I most certainly have to agree. Overly agressive - and often rude - sales representatives need a punch to the face. :hatsoff:

I **** telemarketers..I believe it is now ******* in the USA and in the states you put your number on a national registry not to call your number...here in canada no such thing yet...it FREAKING drives me nuts when they call and keep on talking and talking and talking and dont even give you time to answer no...or when a survey company calls you for a survey and your stuck on the phone for 20 minutes...i know its there job but in about 30 seconds i know if i'm interested or not...phew just had to vent about that...thanks freeones :thumbsup:

Shops that have *.99p in their prices.
I feel such a cheapskate standing at the till waiting for my 1p change.
Okay, so you might say 'put your change in the charity box', but WHO puts just a penny in a charity box??..it's worse than just taking the 1p change and walking out of the shop!

Having said that, I don't like shops that try to be different and have ridiculous *.57p or **.83p..WTF??

Do their prices have to be so 'exact'??

I mean, saying 85p, fine, somehow the 5 on the end isn't too bad.
But how do they come up with *.57p??
FFS people either round it up or down to the nearest 5p dammit!!

That's my .6c :2 cents: :2 cents: :2 cents:

 

[LordVader66]

I have to agree with u there tunsty...it would be easier here in the states if the penny was eliminated all together, It does nothing more than take up space and is a huge pain in the ass to scrounge for four cents. The reason everyone has a shitload of pennys laying around is nobody scrounges for the 2,3, and 4 cents. Its easier to give a nickle.

Thats the good thing about pennies, people don't care about them. What i do is just save them all and all the ones i find and roll them up and cash them in. I went the other week and cashed in about 20 dollars in pennies, about half of them i found lying around.

 

[member2686]

People who still live in the dark ages of banking/consumerism who write personal checks at stores (especially in the "20 items or less" express lanes).

Come on, folks, debit cards have been around for 20+ years now. Don't stand there in the checkout line and go through your purse/wallet pulling out IDs and then write your check AFTER being given the total cost - if you're going to write an archaic check, at least have 90% of the thing written before the cashier tells you the total. Besides, you probably are either elderly and slow-moving getting your stuff placed on the checkout belt or you're a homemaker-type with 3 **** in tow who are obnoxiously ill-behaved, loud, and ****** for candy. Welcome to 2005 - people don't NEED checks anymore.

LOL :thefinger :ban:

 

[tunsty]

Yeah, I've got an old waste basket almost full of loose change..I give some to trick or treaters..the rest I roll around on the floor, naked (mind, I'm always a few coins short afterwards...where do they disappear to??)

 

[D-rock]

or you're a homemaker-type with 3 **** in tow who are obnoxiously ill-behaved, loud, and ****** for candy.

I **** those little ****. They are irritating as hell. I like how they scream for candy then cry as soon as their parents say no. Of course after screaming for 2 minutes the parents always give in. Don't parents know that they should NEVER give in to those little runts? Otherwise it will never stop. :1orglaugh

 

[LordVader66]

my parents never gave in to me. When my ****** said no, he meant no and there was no discussion about it. If I went and tried to ask my ****** after he had said no there was hell to pay. I look at these ******** that cry and scream in the grocery store. If either my ******* or myself would have tried that, there was a paddle waiting at home, and the whole way my *** would have talked about it.

I save mine and cash them in as well. Pennys spend just like everything else. You just have to have a ton of them to make the effort worth it. I have jars and cups and bottles full of pennys.

 

[member2686]

It's not a bad thing to have ******** fear a spanking if they act like idiots, Fox? **** need to learn the painful effects/consequences from their bad choices as they grow up IMO - I'm not talking about beating a *****, but instead just a swift swat to the ass or something. lol This "Let's talk about why you're acting out" **** doesn't work with a 5 year-old rugrat. lol They just become coddled, spoiled little brats... :ban:

 

[Civickiller80]

My *** never hit me...but man the fear was there that one day he was gonna go nuts and pound me back into the 1940's...he threated me and say you dont want me to go there do you...and you know what it work...but i do see some spoiled **** today at malls that Cry and whine I want this i want that and HIT there parents and the parents dont do anything...that pisses me off..like have control over your *** and tell him something...

 

[member2686]

No worries. People will always have things about which they disagree. :hatsoff:

Back to topic - DVD manufacturers/movie companies who disable your DVD player's ability to skip through trailers and bullshit ads before getting to the main movie menu - they need to be throttled into a bloodly pulp. lol :thefinger

...Hey, we'll never agree with each other, so we'll have to agree to disagree. Sorry man.

Fox

 

[os12tr]

If you watch your dvd on a comp, you can skip all the junk just by going to the title menu. So far only one dvd I have won't let me skip the trailers.

I agree. It's bad enough when you have to watch commercials on normal television, but to be ****** to watch them from something you paid for is just too much.
