Yeah mate what a laugh who would think that ordering a meal could provide so much :confused2 entertainment, never go there again(unless I get bored) , Hey that would have been a good place for a certain young man from Tauranga to go, I guess if he wanted somewhere more exciting than a week in Aks, a day in waiouru would fit the bill

F/F

For the rest of us...was that a "you had to be there" situation

Many years ago before the Caltex station was at Waiouru there was a "diner" there. You had eggs and chips with EVERYTHING - It was a real 'truckers' diner!

Were the eggs sunnyside or not?

Mind you, this isn't as bad as an article I read. Little girl goes into diabetic fit. So her mum runs into the nearest sweet shop and asks for some chocolate. Girl behind counter "Do you want it gift-wrapped?"

Anyone else had any really dumb responses like this?

Talking about dumb responses !
How would the shop owner know what the chocolates were to be used for ?

Or maybe your'e not telling us all !

[Ms Piggy]

Perhaps its the foriegn(SI) accent that the female could not understand?

Yeah all those rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr's!

[Kickaha]

Poor lady probabley thinks you have one hell of a surname CCL

This is one of my pet hates.....
When you ring me and I answer the phone "Star Mart K'road Matthew speaking" I would appreciate not being asked "can I speak to Matthew."

When I ring up your place of business to place an order or do some other such customery thing and I say "Hi this is Matthew from Star Mart K road can I (insert request here)?", it makes me angry to hear " certainly sir, where did you say you were from". short exchange followed by "and your name was?"

At least pretend you were listening and ask me how that is spelt.

I'm a bit guilty of that sometimes, but then some of out callers talk so fast it hard to understand them. Oh and then there's the ones who when you do ask then to spell their name say it so fast there is no way you can get it down (I'm getting better at that though) and also people with a name that I can't say let along spell and they say it like they expect you to know how it's spelt or get really pissed off if you ask them to spell their name and then they would be the 1st to complain if it was mispelt! I had a woman once who sighed & clicked her tounge every time I asked her to spell a name all the way through an order I was taking and then when I was telling her our postal address she had to ask me to spell "marriages"!!! :eyepoke:

Ok rant over!

[Mongoose]

Yeah all those rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr's!

As long as your Rrs dont roll thru the eating of too many opies and drinking of too many pints!!
