TheMaganator Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Went to buy a shirt at lunch which means approx 45 minutes of browsing time, outside of walking to the shop and back. 42 minutes of those was spent removing 38 pins, 3 bits of cardboard and a plastic collar from the shirt before realising I had picked up the wrong size. Just put the shirts on hangers FFS !!! NB, I hate going to shops. I buy everything that I can online and have it delivered to work - only have to lift my finger to type and click!

scott_jambo Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 They get trained to think that they are the only people in the world with a lousy wage and a busy job. And because of this they're allowed to be supercilious and rude. http://www.theguardi...rs-receptionist That sounds like a piss easy job. pensioners moaning about needing a flu jab?? Try working in hospitality, events, behind a bar in a busy nightclub, busy department store in the city and actually still having to be nice and patient with people and providing high quality customer service. Miserable folk behind a GPs desk. Quit your job if it's shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBSHD Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 The pavements around Glasgow Central Station are lethal when wet, especially if the sun reflects off the ground after raining. People slipping about whilst being unable to see. Completely unnecessary and avoidable issue in a very busy area. Do get to see a decent amount of cyclists deck it though.

susanjambo Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Drs surgery receptionists. Treat everyone with disdain. They live in a different world where they beleive their jobs are stressful. You don't know the meaning of stress and it certainly isn't directing people to waiting rooms. Good shout. If I go in with my daughter I get the same look when I reply to their abrupt "Name?" with "Me or the girl?". They look at me like I just quoted from Mein Kampf. Christ knows what they learn when they are open late once a week for 'training'. They get trained to think that they are the only people in the world with a lousy wage and a busy job. And because of this they're allowed to be supercilious and rude. http://www.theguardi...rs-receptionist If I knew how to insert a facepalm here i'd do it. I'm a receptionist , don't want to say where I work (not a doctors surgery) and wish i could let you guys shadow me for a week and i'm sure you'd appreciate how difficult it can be in dealing with clients or customers who can often be really rude when receptionists are only doing their job. Rude people often shoot the messenger (me!) when they're unhappy with a situation. As a receptionist i treat people with respect but often don't get that back as some don't like the rules/situation they find themselves in so i get the abuse. Next time you get angry at a receptionist have a think before you give her grief, she doesn't make the rules. If you do find a receptionist's attitude to be bad bring this to the attention of the practise manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan presuming that you get more hassle working in Dr's surgery than you do in a busy city centre bar or hospitality etc...where you are paid less/by the hour/work overtime for free and have to put a smiling face on for the customers sometimes in the threat of physical violence. But I come in and say, "hello, I have an appointment at 10:30" and they are absolute witches about it, without fail.

Because a Dr asked them to file a prescription and they also have to deal with someone coming through the door. That's two things they have to action at the same time and the stress must be taken out on innocent bystanders.
