i used to work in smyths toystore and dunnes in douglas, i always tried to help ppl, had to show a senile old woman around the whole toy store and also had to pick out everything for some forign guy that came into dunnes at the last minute, iv had abuse shouted at me for not taking a club card (even tho she would have gotten 1 point) but i also got an xmas card off an old lady for helping her.

Interesting, I was talking to someone about this yesterday and I've found the exact opposite - in the likes of Tesco, Dunnes etc I've found that the Irish staff have been guilty of crap service (carrying on talking to their mates while allegedly serving you, not making eye contact while talking to you, and so on) more often than foreign staff.

My experience exactly.

The staff behind the hot counter in the Bishopstown Bar are so rude. I went there a few times and couldn't believe how bad they ALL treat the customers! I thought it was maybe just one or two bad eggs but really, they were consistently bad so obviously I've stopped going in there.

I wonder do they feel they didn't have to make an effort because a lot of their customers are students!

Someone made the point that most people aren't trained. That is so true. I worked in Chartbusters for years. They trained us about the sunbeds, but never bothered to teach us about how to treat customers in general. I think it's totally overlooked at this stage which is ridiculous.

I was accused of lying by a manager in Dunnes Stores in front of customers. My sister was working there at the time, and on this day was sick. I offered to bring in her sick note for her. When I gave it to him, he accused me and her of lying (very loudly). This was right next to the checkouts. My sister worked in the hot counter, and had a dose of diahrrea (sorry bout sp!) and he expected her to come in anyway. I made the point that they could be shut down for that also very loudly (I was a little annoyed) and told him if he didn't believe me he could ring her doctor. My mother was with me at the time, and we walked out raging loudly how a place like them should be shut down.

Now I know my sister is no angel, and she tended to be sick alot (she hated working there!) but there was no reason to be that rude to me. I was just doing her a favour. I haven't gone back to that Dunnes since and, I barely go to Dunnes anymore. I heard recently that a manager in the same Dunnes (I don't think it's the same manager) is being taken to court for workplace bullying, which cheered me up no end!:D

Fionaxxxx and Julie K Cherub, this isn't MSN. It's a public discussion forum. Please keep your off topic private conversations to yourselves, and off the site.

No, listen to Ned. Have ye ever even been on a forum before? It's incredibly annoying to wade through all this off-topic stuff. Keep it to PMs. It's not your personal forum.

Edit: You're doing it in the other threads too! Knock it off please.

The problems are, in fact, plural:

1) The rest of us don't care that you two have a blossoming internet friendship/rapport/budding cyberlesbian thing going on, and don't particularly want to have to wade through your rubbish to find out who the latest rude shop assistant is;

2) Abuse of font colour and/or smileys has been known to trigger fits of stupidepsy - it's like epilepsy, only instead of being subsceptible to flashing lights you're subsceptible to inane rubbish in gaudy colours. It's a particular threat on the likes of PROC and the After Hours forum, but those are the risks you take if you're willing to just post anywhere.

3) Julie K Cherub is basically JohnK in drag (see the other thread in which JohnK claims to have left), which means that we'll put up with none of his (her?) guff. We didn't tolerate it when we went out drinking with him, we'll certainly not tolerate it on here.

4) This thread has an insufficiency of cheese, and the antics of both FionaXXXX and Julie K Cherub are only likely to exacerbate this state of affairs.

Blitzkrieger · 01-10-2007 4:45pm

AAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH! WE'VE GOT TROLLS!

Given the low post count of all the posters, does anyone else think it's one person?

dahamsta · 01-10-2007 5:14pm

Of course, they're both JohnK. Everyone in here is JohnK. I'm JohnK, and so's my wife.

He's getting into practice - I've seen an amount of lads get into trouble for calling their wife "my girlfriend".

Who's gone OT now?

(cue ER theme music)

A corridor in a large hospital. PARAMEDIC 1 & PARAMEDIC 2 are rushing a stretcher into ER, with an apparently wounded IDIOT POSTER bleeding profusely from an as-yet covered chest laceration.

PARAMEDIC 1 : We've got a bleeder!

PARAMEDIC 2 : The bleeding's not the problem; there's something else going on. See the twitching fingers? She's drooling at the mouth too.

PARAMEDIC 1 : What, you think it's rabies?

PARAMEDIC 2 : I'm not sure. Is she still unconscious?

IDIOT POSTER : ....losers, all losers...allofye, ivealifeIswearmumblemumble...

PARAMEDIC 1 : Delirious. You might be onto something.

They arrive at the Emergency Room, where GEORGE CLOONEY is on duty. He thwacks his rubber gloves on, smiles in a disconcerting way, and addresses the paramedics.

GEORGE CLOONEY : What's her status?

PARAMEDIC 2 : A severe chest laceration appears to be bleeding heavily though we can't see any signs of significant arterial rupture. She's also showing signs that might be indicative of rabies.

GEORGE CLOONEY : What signs?

PARAMEDIC 2 : Drooling & foaming at the mouth, involuntary twitching of the fingers - as if she were typing at an imaginary keyboard, and she's delirious.

IDIOT POSTER : ...alllosers,allayou,ImcoolthoIswear... omgisthatgeorgeclooney?

GEORGE CLOONEY : It's not rabies. It's far more serious than that, I'm afraid. This patient is suffering from newbitis. It's a condition related to stupidepsy, wherein she tried to access the internet and take everything she read both literally and seriously.

PARAMEDIC 1 : Oh my God! Can anything be done?

GEORGE CLOONEY : Well, it'll take years of therapy, but one day she'll come out of denial and then she can start the healing process.

(cue ER closing credits)
