the three most annoying things customers do
- could i have an [inaudible] of [inarticulate], please?
- i'm sorry? a pint of stella, did you say?
- that's right.
..
- no, mate, i asked for a bottle, not a pint.
(putting down two pints)
- that's the carling, and that's the fosters
- [vacuous inattention]
..
(five minutes later, when i'm serving someone else)
- oi, mate, which one's the carling?
most annoying of all:
