Subway (not for my benefit, but for those poor people who have to work there):
1. Read the damn signs "Pay Here" does not mean "Order Here", and vice versa!
2. Don't talk on your mobile whilst ordering; the person serving you has to ask a question ever 2 seconds, I think your friend can wait just two minutes!
Myer:
1. Don't put all your crappy discount clothes on the counter in a massive heap, and just stand there watching me sort it all out
2. Don't you DARE say "oh that one is 75% off", I KNOW!!! If you keep your cheap little eyes on the screen, you will see that I have marked it down...look at the register, it isn't exactly a super computer!
3. If you put your clothes down, telling me they are all from the 75% racks, all that tells me is that your cheap...only in very rare cases will I not know if they are 75% off
4. Read the signs! If it says "20% off a great range of..." that means a "range of...", not 20% off everything from this brand, or 20% off everything on this rack!
5. I don't care if you think FlyBuys are a waste of time, a simple question "Do you collect FlyBuys?" requires a simple answer - "Yes" or "No" - not "no I don't, it's a waste of time, you never get anything out of it"
6. Don't ask your friends if they collect FlyBuys, I asked you!
7. If you think a price is wrong...don't wait until after you have signed the EFTPOS slip, handed over the cash, or keyed in your pin to tell me
8. Don't expect me to just believe what you say, I have to know myself if something is marked down
9. Do you see a computer anywhere near the counter? No? Well then don't ask me to check if we have a certain Toy on our computer, when we clearly don't have one....again, look at our registers - they're archaic - do you really think we have a computer that tells us where all our stuff is, in our department?
10. If you ask me to go out the back and check if we have something, don't get all pissed off that it takes me a while - if you want me to try and find something for you, it's going to take me some time to try finding it for you!
And most importantly:
11. Don't be rude! If you're rude to me, I won't be nice to you, and will help you in the slowest and most hesitant fashion
12. Don't bea pig! If you take clothes off the rack and try them on, put them back on the hanger (at least!) and back where you found them - we already have plenty to do already without having to pick up the pile of clothes you've tried on!
Myer Phone Customers:
1. Don't give me your whole story about why you are ringing me and want me to help you! Just tell me what the hell it is you want (politely of course), and I will do it for you...don't waste my time.
