    Did the bike shops in Hamilton today - very impressed with Hamilton Motorcycles - friendly, helpful and they've taken me out of the bike hunting market. Well done!

    Here's the other side of the coin.
    'Customers' ( they only ever seem to suck down our coffee, never spend) who spill coffee over the; coffee machine, clothes, floor, bikes.
    Who tip their full coffee cups into the water machines drip tray.
    Who wreck zips on new clothes then hide it.
    Who rip out liner retainers, then hide it.
    Who try on every single size of helmet. (do they really not know if they're a small or XXXL?)
    Who order an expensive helmet, ignore three calls that it's arrived, then buy elsewhere because they couldn't find a park!
    Who blame us because importers don't order enough stock.
    Who expect to try on clothes when they reek like aged goats on heat.

    And that was just this mornings effort.

    If I can smell them from 2 metres away, they're not trying anything on except soap.

    That's totally acceptable. People that come into my work are have body odour that would stun an elephant get distinctly different service from the other 99.999% of the population. I'm utterly thankful that it's only the 0.001% that hygiene is a foreign concept to.

    Have you been stealing my customers?
    Seriously though, apart from theft nothing gets me wound up too much anymore. Makes the day slower and the smelly ones rancid.

    After all, no matter how fickle or smelly, 'they' pay our wages.
    Gotta love 'em all for that!
