a first strike is the best policy before the shock and awe comes
Here’s a rant.
Customer: (5 minutes before close) I want a large, extra-thick thickshake, chocolate with spearmint.
Me: Sure, no worries.
(I mix the ingredients and pop the cup onto the machine. It’s a normal milkshake machine, the bladed spindle churns the milk/ice cream. With a large, extra-thick, it should take around five minutes).
Customer: (after 30 seconds) This is taking too long! I should’ve brought my blender from home, it would be finished by now! That thing has no power. This is gonna take forever!
Customer: (about 2 min later) Oh forget it! Just pour it in, I’ll deal with the lumps. It’s taking too long.
(I start pouring the shake but there’s a big lump of ice cream, so I blend it a bit more.)
Customer: (long, loud sigh) Oh fine. I’m telling you. I have a blender, like the one on TV, and it would have finished by now! Whatever, I’m OK with lumps, it will melt anyway.
Oh, to be in England, now that April’s here!
To be fair, five minutes is a pissweak blender. It’s milk and icecream, not making bricks into gravel.

Why? April in Australia generally pisses all over anything England can offer.

You have a point there.
Ah, being at the coalface of retail. Blender supplied by company and staff have to have shitheads rant at them.
Guess what the rumour is for BN stores?
Go on…guess!

You’ll all be serving alcohol on-site, so you all need to get an RSA cert to keep your jobs.

Some stores have been trialing that. In New York, I think.

Nope….my boss is a really nice man. Works so hard and is a real human and has a wicked sense of humour he has to keep under wraps. He’s gay and been married for a year.
We’re going to be pushing the BN Mastercard at the cash wraps :/ there’s all sorts of perks etc if you sign up for one. For the past 8 years we’ve had the information brochure available, but we haven’t had to promote it. It sucks to have this heaped on us as well.

Everywhere seems to have some kind of card being pushed at the counter. I ask them all what I get from it and they don’t seem to knopw much but when I say “all I’ll probably get is more SPAM”, brings a smiile and a nod at all counters.

Yep. Still, an extra thick shake is 6 scoops of ice cream.
Our next promotion features a peanut butter doughnut and a peanut butter milkshake. I’ll be attending a conference call on Monday to discuss the prevention of cross-contamination.

What happens when someone with a peanut allergy comes into the store?

You win.
I’d rather promote a credit card than deal with PB issues and people.
Yes, it has peanut butter in it. No, it doesn’t contain gluten. Yes, it’s vegan. No, I don’t give a shit.

Have you only just noticed? They upped the price by nearly 50% and slowed the service to twice as long…

Do they give you a set spiel to rehearse for these promotions?

More than twice as along, in some cases. Used to be that a letter posted from here to Hobart or vice versa would get there the next day. The other week my sister posted me a card from Hobart on a Wednesday and it didn’t get here until Monday.

All hell breaks loose.
I don’t have a rant. We got the disabled parking spots re-marked in the lane at the back of the practice. I really don’t think the developers would have bothered if I hadn’t ranted to the council and also got the local wheelie activist involved. I suspect they thought they could get away with just doing away with them.

My mother (in Ballarat) posted a card to my sister (in Cranbourne, Melbourne) in October last year for her wedding anniversary. It arrived in February this year.

Sort of. We are drilled about the benefits and make up own our spiels. There’ll be more as it progresses….
I just worked it out. Australia Post aren’t charging $1 for delivery. It’s only 20c for delivery; the other 80c is for storage.

I listen a lot to BBC Radio 2 via the net, and they’re getting top daily temps of 7 deg and 9 deg over there.
It may be spring there, but that doesn’t make it balmy.
I listened to someone to day who repeatedly pronounced “says” to rhyme with “pays”.
To day, you say?
“It was revealed in a government survey published today that the Prime Minister is doing the work of two men, Laurel and Hardy.”
nay, i say.

It seems that Keating was at a fundraising event in the Blue Mtns, where he gave a speech that took a fairly good swipe at Turnbull. Something about being a cherry on the top of a compost heap and raisins.
