United Kingdom chat thread V4: lamb rogan josh, £3 meal deals, and brexit - General

it suddenly cleared up within 5 mins in Leeds like an hour ago, now it's just gusty as fuck.

got a punctured tyre. on a car that hasn't even broken 2000 miles. and it was a big fuck off nail. on the sidewall. which is irreparable. so instead of it costing £20 for a repair, it's gonna cost £70. it could be worse, but that's £70 pissed away cause some cunt left a massive nail on the road for some reason.

I got a chip on my windscreen on my car :~( Was perfect until then

Sky was broken earlier and now it's super windy. Went up coniston old man and wow. (Sorry for vert, I've chastised him for his shoddy work) [video]https://youtu.be/Jc4Vu-Q8n2M[/video]

It went orange earlier here as well but after that the sun turned super fucking bright and orange as well? Didn't get a photo but it's stopped now, super weird.

We went into labs with clear, normal skies and left with it looking like the end times, which given our design exercise may or may not actually be possible is pretty fitting.

you missed the paleblood sky you idiots enjoy having 0 eyes on the inside

forget just eat, i just made a homemade coconut prawn curry from scratch and it was fuckin ace. sauce so thick it's KO'd the shit out of my stomach and i think i'm actually gonna go to bed right now cause i'm in the strongest food coma.

Is it rude to point out a mistake to an employee as a customer? Because I tried to use a voucher, 11 days still in date but got rejected the first time by the older lass at the till in BK, after she stared at it for a good few seconds of silence. I walk away because there's a line and double check, and sure enough it's 11 days in date. I go up to the till again to point it out and the lass just instantly checks out of the whole thing and I get served by someone else who tells me I "shouldn't have talked to her like that, she has to check the date it's part of her job". Note, I didn't raise my voice or anything of the sort. Anyway, I got my meal, checked it for saliva. Later on I felt sort of bad that I could have contributed to someone's already bad day but I don't believe what I said or did was rude. I have rather low standards when it comes to acceptible customer service, I prefer the honesty rather than pretending to be enjoying a terrible job, but lying to a customer crosses the line from doing your job begrudgingly to not doing your job. She could have simply been mistaken, but she took a long time to consider the ticket's date. What's anybody's take on this? Was I the arsehole, was the till-lass short-tempered, or were we both victims of the bougeoisie?

people have shit days at work, i usually just try have a laugh with employees when they make mistakes and go yeah lol shit happens and it makes them realise you're not a total cunt but if someone is doing it on purpose then i will go out of my way to be a cunt back

Someone has to be over sensitive to walk away from a customer just neutrally correcting their mistake, most people would probably just be like 'oh sorry I must have misread it' I think I'm extremely forgiving and its hard to make me feel like I have received bad customer service cause you can't really blame someone for an honest mistake, but I have had a fair few legit terrible customer service situations. Best one lately springs to mind was at a Starbucks drivethrough where we very very clearly ordered 2 medium coffees, we were given 2 smalls and said 'oh we ordered mediums, we dont mind but can you check if we actually got charged for medium?' and the manager instantly snapped back 'no you said two talls' then when we insisted that we did actually order medium very clearly she just said 'oh, well sorry...' and closed the window. My gf used to work in a Starbucks drivethrough and said they got orders wrong all the time or at least customers often complained that their orders were wrong but they'd never argue and usually just offer a remake in large free of charge, their drinks have such a high margin and they waste so much milk etc every day that its a drop in the sea for them to make a new one. I'm one of those people that is sad enough to go out of my way to both put in bad feedback and good feedback to companies and name employees in them, it's usually good but one thing you really don't want to do in customer service is flat out tell a customer that they didn't order what they say they did. It's always great to hear a customer say something nice though so if you really want to make someone's day who is working as a waiter/waitress or some other job like that just ask their name and say you want to leave some good feedback for them through the site.

It is hard to tell from my writing, I can't truly see from outside my own perspective and the moment was very short lived.

tbh If I ever need to refute something 90% of the time I'll just pussy out, but if it's actually fairly big I'll do the stereotypical overly-polite british "Hey, really sorry to bother you, but I think I've been given the wrong..". Totally over the top but it avoids coming across as one of those angry shouty customers. Finished my cheesey club night on saturday, checked what I was working the next day and realised that the "Club Night" I was meant to be doing the lights for got mysteriously transformed into [URL="https://youtu.be/qkFxHzPcr1s"]some highly produced wrestling gig[/URL].

So my morning has gone from bad to worse. Someone left the back kitchen door open all night and I couldn't find my debit card this morning, this has really fucking pissed me off. Not saying it's a burglary as nothing else was taken, it's just all of the unwanted stress. Oh, and I realised that the dry cleaner had done a poor job fitting a zip in my coat as the lining has come undone. Great, now where did I put my needle and thread

[QUOTE=Clive;52787693]Just go buy a needle and thread if you can't find one, most shops have contactless now so you shouldn't run into any problems.[/QUOTE] that's assuming you've already put your card details into something like apple pay, otherwise you're a bit shafted for the time being
