when i come to collect your plates, do not joke that i am more than welcome to eat your uneaten food. I will punch the next person i hear that line from.

why are you complimenting me on how i am so wonderful at my job? I am a waitress.

(i work at boost juice)

you spend aaaages staring at the menu board. the least you can do is stick with your decision. try the other drink another time.

DONT let me (or anyone else) get halfway through making your drink THEN say you want soy milk. or no ice. it's probably too late. we're very fast, esp when it's quiet. a lot of the time, by the time you've fumbled around in your ugly purse for coins, your drink is on the blender.

CHAI is an acquired taste, mkay. if you havent had it, it will probably just taste like pot pourri to you. it's not my fault/problem if you chose it, then decided you didnt like it. live and learn. unfortunately, im obliged to sympathise with you, and i'll even make you an entirely new drink because i'm reeally excellent.

the sizes of drinks are clearly marked. dont look at me funny when i hand you a regular juice because you expected it to be bigger. read the sign.

you cant have a super smoothie or zen in kids sizes. they have supplements in them, and as such just dont come in kids sizes. it's not on the register, you cant have it.

if you speak engrish, i wont try to upsell you or give you a loyalty card.

try to be nice. it's not hard, i'm consistently nice to customers for hours at a time.

Being racist with me is only going to make me NOT CARE about checking a price.

Lol i hate when customers remove your closed sign when im about to finish, they are just idiots. Pity we have to be nice about it, i have on occasion told them that i saw them remove the sign. The customer then bitched about everything, i only wish that my stores supervisors would actually help by taking over the register so i could leave instead of chatting at service desk about a) how to cook pasta b) what they did saturday night c) their relationships, etc

- If you see me cleaning tables, that doesn't mean you should just let your child start rubbing his or her cheeseburger all over the table and then when they're done get up and just leave.

- When I ask you to wait a moment please on the speaker box, that doesn't mean to start shouting your order at me and expect me to take it. And then don't get frustrated with me when i ask you to repeat your order because you wouldn't be quiet when I asked you to.

not knowing what a product is doesn't mean i'm not focused. and she was reeeeeally condescending, like 'oh you don't know what that is? you must be stupid'

There is a difference between focusing on the task at hand (such as work) and hasving a higher focus in life, such as a university degree. Secondly, people behind counters are not robots. We don't have everything about the store and all tis stocked programmed neatly into the little computers screwed into our backs.

AT BLOCKBUSTER

If you returned them on time, and they have late fees. You didn't return them on time. Oh, unless of course, as you suggest: Our computer stuffed up and fell asleep and a magical pixie named Terry came in and messed around with the numbers just to make your life more hectic.

If your disc doesn't work give it a fucking wipe with some Windex before marching down to the store and accusing us of pirating DVD's, maybe your little 3 yr old's greasy hands had something to do with it? Nahh...impossible.

Despite how much I would 'love' for your kids to play hide and seek with our new release covers to make my 10 hour shift more enjoyable. Please keep them on a leash, or I will put them in the disc wizard machine.

I will not give you a swap just cause you didn't know the movie had subtitles, get some culture.

If you want to bump into me, please don't do so when I have a huge stack of DVD's in my hands.

Much appreciated.

ohhh i love this...because its the end of the holidays and i'm full of RAGE...

At the Movies:

- do not stay behind to watch the movie until the end of the credits. What worth is it to you knowing who the key grip's assistant in the second unit was?? As for where the movie (any movie) was filmed: Warner Bros. Studios, Hollywood - unless you saw the Statue of Liberty in the film, in which case, it was filmed in NEW YORK. Now surely, that's not hard to figure out?

- When you call the movie line to find out what movies are showing, do not immediately choose to speak to an operator before hearing the recording and ask "What movies are showing??" - BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE RECORDING SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU! also, it would be a good idea to look on this system we call the Internet, or if that is too technically complicated for you, try the newspaper for session times.

- Little children: do not come into my cinema to have sex with your girl/boyfriend or to jerk off while making out with your girl/boyfriend - because you are children and your are only 12 and you should be playing with barbies / matchboxes (??) and no one wants to witness child porn - because that would theoretically make every person in the cinema with you a criminal. One day, little children, I will snap and not only kick you out, but also call the police to arrest you for indecend exposure and then you can tell your parents what happened - because you are children and your parents will be called.

- When buying tickets, do not just come up to the window before you are called. Respect that you can only come up after you have been called - you do it at the bank and you do it at the post office - why? Because there are large amounts of money behind the counter. We are no different from banks and post offices.

- Ladies: don't take your snotty little sons into the Ladies toilet. The ladies toilet is for ladies. The parents room is for ladies with sons or otherwise large amounts of children. Here, in the parents room, the toilet is lower, so that your boys can actually reach it and not pee all over the floor. also little boys can't reach the flusher in the ladies, so they never flush. And that is disgusting. and sometimes the boys piss all over the friggin seats.

- When your movie starts and there is no sound, or the lights are still on, or anything else is out of the ordinary, don't sit there hoping it will resolve itself. Some people will watch a movie without sound for half an hour before they decide to tell someone. Thats just stupid. We're not always around to check that everything is fine in a session, because we are mopping pee off of the toilet floors, or repeating session times to customers over the phone, or kicking children who are having sex out of the cinemas. So don't sit there - just tell us.

- When buying tickets, don't ask "Two tickets please". We need to know what movie, what time and what kind of tickets you need, too. By what kind i mean Adult, Student, Child. Its not hard to place yourself into one of those categories. It shouldn't take longer than 2 seconds.

- Have your money ready, have your cinebuzz card ready.

- When paying with vouchers, don't ask for two adult tickets and then give us two adult vouchers when we finished the transaction. Just hand over the friggen vouchers. We know what they mean and we won't even end up charging you.

Man, i could go on..Maybe i will someday. There is a lot wrong with customers these days. In my opinion, people should pass an IQ test before being allowed to roam free in a shopping centre - because they all just seem to be bloody idiots, don't they?
