Incompetent co-workers

Now she's timetabled to be in my department and having to ask questions which she asks every fucking Tuesday afternoon and to which the answer is always the same - "It's in the manual," because I cannot be arsed to talk her through it anymore because she's obviosuly thick.

Being in a situation where the untrained are training the untrained is shitty, and being made to feel that asking is bad is shitty too.

so how do you know she's religious? Does she wear a habit and a whimple?

luckily, one of her other traits is never being at work. she's been off the last two days (why i've been posting so much) and that's the kind of thing she does a lot...

sorry for being so vague.

Yesterday evening, just as the shop was about to close, I heard a customer enter and say he was interested in buying a hearing aid. I was hidden behind a curtain, in the area for lens testing. Since hearing aids are Mr Rogers' department, I left him to look after the customer. Unfortunately, Mr Rogers has just had a new hearing aid fitted himself, and it doesn't seem to be working too well.

Thinking he couldn't hear the customer because the radio was too loud, Mr Rogers went and flicked the switch, turning the device on rather than off. The shop filled with blaring music. In the end the customer himself had to go and turn it off. Mr Rogers then thought he heard the customer say he wanted contact lenses, and called me out, since that's my department.

Unfortunately I've just been fitted with a new pair of contact lenses, and they aren't working too well. So, after bumping into a few things, I ended up facing Mr Rogers and asking him if he wanted contact lenses. It was only when I heard the customer speak that I realised someone else was in the shop. The customer told me he wanted a hearing aid, so I called Mr Rogers, not realising he was right in front of me. As I say, these new lenses are just not working for me yet.

Next, thinking that Mr Rogers was the customer who wanted contact lenses, I led him (protesting) behind the curtain. When I realised my mistake I became quite angry and demanded to know why Rogers hadn't revealed his true identity before letting me guide him to the lens chair. I expect his deafness had something to do with it.

I was apologising most sincerely to the waiting lens customer when a voice from another part of the shop demanded a hearing aid. This also annoyed me, and I told this other customer that Mr Rogers would deal with him. I then led the lens customer behind the curtain, but when I reached the chair, nobody was there.

I went back and found my customer by the curtain. But when I led him to the chair I discovered that he was Mr Rogers, who had apparently come to tell me that I wasn't with anyone. This annoyed me even more, and I demanded to know why Rogers hadn't told me who he was.

Seeking my lens customer in the shop, I found myself confronted by two gentlemen who told me they wanted hearing aids. Suddenly one of them began screaming in the voice of Mr Rogers, complaining that his hearing aid was suddenly too loud. Hammering his head with the side of his hand, Rogers knocked his contact lenses out and began crawling around on the floor, searching for them.

Just at that moment an irate customer entered the shop saying he wanted to complain about contact lenses he had purchased from us, which had apparently ruined his eyesight. He mistook the first customer for me and began to beat up an orange revolving sunglass display stand, calling it a swindler and a money-grubbing quack.

Knowing that the irate customer intended these words and actions for me, I became enraged. Attempting to attack the man, I launched into what turned out to be a bench containing a floral display. I then grabbed Rogers, thinking he was the customer who was now smashing up my shop. Rogers, in turn, thought he was being attacked and began retaliating against me, whilst simultaneously shouting to me for assistance.

I reassured Rogers that I had his assailant. Rogers, meanwhile, assured me that he had the intruder and would eject him from our shop. Counting to three, we hoisted ourselves out of our own shop through a plate glass window, only realising as we lay bleeding on the pavement in each other's arms that what I had taken to be Rogers' assailant was Rogers himself, and what Rogers had taken to be the intruder was me.

I distinctly heard the first customer say: "You should see them when they've had a few drinks!" I thought that was a very insensitive remark, given the circumstances.

f&*%^&*%ing douche-bags to complain to your boss about something you do that they don't like rather than just talking to you about it

"Customer states we have done this cor herin the past thought I have not done this - not sure the proper way"
