a list of things i don't ever want to hear a customer tell me.

WELL. tell me AGAIN.

* "my cat just died yesterday. i have cried so much i have petechial hemorrhaging on my eyes." :: DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE CATS? why would you tell me this?!? thanks for ruining my day too now.

* "will you tell your manager your old cinnamon coffee cake muffins were better?" i will but we are not getting them back. we make them in our own baker-- "well they are not as good." well i am sorry but they are freshe-- "they aren't any good. do they teach you marketing when you work here? telling me they are fresher? they don't TASTE good." silence. "i hope i did not offend you." silence. "your face turned rather SOUR." fuck you buddy.

* "this is really DISGUSTING. but i just saw some guy--now i dont know who he was--take a DUMP in the urinal. in the men's bathroom. I DON'T KNOW WHY HE WOULD DO THAT. but it is DISGUSTING. and someone is going to have to clean it up... you are going to have to DEAL WITH IT." okay. this is how i deal with it. like any good manager would (yeah i know, i am not a manager. whatever). DELEGATE. dear peter, someone left you a present. it is in the men's bathroom. kthxbai. also it did not help that the tobias funke of ann arbor was the bearer of this bad news. picture this with long hair. long, dark, greasy hair.

* "you're out of paper towels in the women's bathroom." NO. we are out of paper towels in the WHOLE STORE.

  1. that marketing guy, i would have kicked him in the throat.

    the bathroom complaints, i'd probably laugh. was it the large soda water 4 shots of espresso man?

  2. IT WAS!!! tobias, i like to call him. i feel torn about him. he is nice to always tip us a dollar...but what is his deal? is he homeless? why does he drink so much soda water? why does he wear a white tuxedo with tails?

  3. i call him david crosby. haha! he works at cosi in the back and also at the michigan theater, hence the tuxedo. is he homeless? i don't know, i saw him walking down huron once. towards the homeless shelter...hmm...

    the soda water, i don't know why he drinks that. he used to go to "beaners" and order the same exact thing.
