Biscuits...What do you not understand about Biscuits?

Everyone should have to work in a "service" job for at least two years fairly early (late teens, early 20's). People would be much nicer to store help, waiters, etc after "walking in their shoes".

Thank You

I worked at 7/11's for many many years even well up into my 40's and I was wondering if you can relate as a fellow clerk or one who knows these people.[/quote[

I worked at a chevron convenience store for 3 years after highschool. I have never met so many people that missed darwin.

Boog....Now that is funny! After working with the public for years most people have no clue how stupid they look when they ask for t-bone steaks in a convience store. Do these people think that if they ask for something else the clerk is going to say "sure we had just cooked some T-bone steaks out back and you get one just because you asked"?

I believe everyone must work in the retail market for two years from the age of 20. Make it manditory like having to pay for the new Government insurance plan!

Many and i mean many times during early morning hours I would be asked "Whatcha go to eat?" my reply "Biscuit" their reply "hashbrowns?" my reply "Biscuits" then they say "anythin else?" I mean...WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ABOUT BISCUITS[/quote]


What else did you have?

What you described is just retail in general. Definitely a humbling experience that most people should experience, especially during the xmas rush.

Hahahaha Yeah, what else?

I would think after about the third time you would answer "what do you have to eat?" with something like "just biscuits, nothing else". But maybe it was too early in the morning.

Ahhhhh.... the reciprocation of public service angst. I've heard similar conversation in various forms throughout my life. The assorted tales usually have more to do with dealing with demanding, unreasonable and sometimes even angry customers.

But having to repeatedly answer questions about biscuits? This takes the cake. What about that?.... you got any cake?

This has got to be the most petty and insignificant complaint ever posted to a message board in the entire history of the world wide interweb.

You're right, of course. Shouldn't you apologize?
