There is a cloverleaf very near my work. Going one direction is a lot of bridge work. For unknown reasons the people doing the roadwork placed a huge pile of dirt right within one of the offramp circles of the cloverleaf. It must be 25 feet tall and twice as wide. Do you see the problem - this wonderful road crew has made it impossible to see the incoming traffic when you need to merge. So what was a reasonably safe intersection is now just horrible and dangerous... all because a few workers dumped a ton of dirt in the way.
My employer sells pressure washers, among other things. We had an individual come in - I don't call him a customer since he didn't spend money - with a receipt for renting a pressure washer. He expected us to refund him the money he paid for renting a pressure washer because he couldn't find anyone to sell him a pressure washer when he came in. Interesting, since he had no problems finding someone when he was ready to get the refund, and the pressure washers are stacked on the floor so anyone can grab them and put them on the flat carts, that were located just a few feet from the pressure washer. But he thought we would just give him $50 or $60 dollars.
What makes a waitress think that the best way to get a good tip is to tell you "You are gonna have to go slow, and you may have to repeat yourself." I understand being tired, and I understand that service industries can be exhausting, but please. We don't need bubbly, just basic friendly, attentive service.
