Ahhh yes the wonderious joys of customer service! I'm so glad I don't serve food anymore. I worked at a pizza place for a while I should have been fired within hours but for some reason they loved me too much to let me go. Aparently I provided some much needed entertainment. Honestly I should have quit just out of pity I was plain awful at my job. But even then I had the most incredably dumb people asking me questions. How much for....what is on?
SEE THAT SIGN!? CAN YOU EVEN READ?! I try not to judge but some people are just plain stupid. And yes if you know me you're probably giggling to yourself for all the times I've done stupid stuff like that to poor people who have to provide me with customer service.
An I carried such a torch

It's not so much little things that irritate me, I mean everyone is entitled to have thier off days. When I worked in retail I just took.
The one thing that irritates me are smart people that act dumb.
Day One: "We have like no money. We couldn't afford to take Ethan (thier one year old son) to the doctors for a check up after he got over his cold. (Believe me whn I say, when my nephew gets sick, he gets really sick!)
Day Two:
(Same person mind you, from above) "Hey look at my new razor phone!"
Me: That's nice, how much did it cost?
Them: Ninety-seven dollars.
This woman is a fairly bright person and it frustrates me to no end at the decisions she makes.

After wasting more than half of my life interacting with the public in various meaningless jobs I would have to say "YES"
I served 15 years in a pet shop. I sent animal after animal to their doom at the hands of mouth breathing ape things gone wrong.
Try catching a specific tropical fish out of a tank of identical ones for a mother and her 3 cubs.
"No, no that's not it.No, no that one. No, that's not it. Oh, you just missed it."
I was elbow deep in the tank trying to pin "their" fish in the corner with the net, while
was using my free hand to hold a flashlight. Did I mention it was during a blackout??!?
They could not believe I did not feel like helping them after they said,
" we bought this at walmart, can you show me how to set it up?"
or "we'll just buy that over at walmart."
I could continue with my current job. Now I work at a firm lobbying my state legislature. The comparisons to the pet shop are endless. I can even think up at least 20 right now that do not involve feces.
I tried to explain to a friend the lack of intelligence among the masses. He thought it was just a level of ignorance that could be fixed through education. Then he took a call center job.
Now he realizes the only education that would fix the problem would come from a hammer to their skulls.

I too worked at an ice cream place, once upon a time. I had someone call one night to ask how much our stainless steel was. Hello! Did you not listen when I answered the phone with the name of the shop?! I also had someone call to ask if I knew the recipe for chocolate chip cookies. WTF? Or the woman( when I worked at a bookstore) who wanted to see a book with a picture of a fetus... because she thought she'd just had a miscarriage. Go to the freakin' hospital!!!!!

Holy CRAP!
Does it contain dairy too? 'Cause I'm laconic intolerant...
