I don't disagree with that - just feel sorry for anyone who has to deal with some of the mutants you get these days.

Imagine what some of the poor ****s have to deal with late at night, drunk twats everywhere kicking off and generally acting like ****s. No wonder their default setting is 'I hate my life'.

My job involves dealing with IT-illiterate spastics who just want stuff done asap but I have to remain vaguely civil. Doesn't always work out like that...

At a KFC in the States and one of the bredren opened the door for me and said good morning sir. I had to look round to see who he was talking to and realised it was me. You are lucky at the KFC in Shepherds Bush if they don't pick off their scabs and chuck it into your popcorn chicken. I've had the brotherhood walk past me in the queue and get served first, they pick out what bit if carcass they want and bitch and moan if they get the wrong piece.

You look at the acne-ridden yoot at the counter and know that he has long since ceased to give any sort of f*ck.

You eat in KFC pal. You get what you deserve.

Incidentally, when I was 17 i worked in a meat packing plant for a while. The wages were so **** that, in futile protest, I took to biting my thumbnails off and spitting them into the mince. I'd like to apologise now if any of my nail clippings ever made it into your Shepherds Pie.

I don't eat in KFC, only take away. Eating in is for ****s and *****s.

.... Do you have to get paid to give a toss?

The level of so-called customer service these days is shocking and I wonder if it is because most of the ****s and *****s I have to deal with are only on minimum wage.

Over at the United Yanks of America it is all about customer service even down to the lower end of the pay scales.

I took the ankle biters bowling the other day and the bredren behind the counter "served" three customers including me and didn't say a word during any of the transactions. Not a "how can I help?" or a "what would you like" and all of us had to check the till screen to see how much everything cost as the slouch couldn't even be ars*d to say "that comes to £3.50" and just held his hand out for the cash.

I wondered if it was a "I don't get paid enough to give a flying f*ck about you" thing.

If you were on minimum wage could you care less?

It has to be said, even though a lot of people(wrongly, in my opinion) dislike the yanks, they do know about customer service and fantastically high yields<ok>

If you want good service stop eating in KFC and Subway .
The McDonalds on Holloway road has 6ft high ipad things that you order from pay on your card and it spits a ticket out with a number on.
You get half a dozen people standing about waiting for their number to come up like a strange sort of Argos food lottery.
I send my 6 year old boy up and give him my pin number and let him deal with it.
The staff in there if you choose to pay by cash at the counter are usually very civil .
I lived in West London when the Shepherds bush Nandos got shot up by spades because one insulted anothers hair.
****ing dump .

Being a tipping culture it's not very surprising the toothy ****s smile at you.

I get what you are saying, but even if you go into a shop(which requires no tipping) they still say have a great day etc and smile. In Europe, you don't get served until the wee slag has stopped speaking to her mate on her phone.

Canada's the worst - was there on business a couple of times. Go to a restaurant and they are so over friendly you want to punch them. On one occasion I asked the waitress (who even bloody well asked me "how's your garlic bread sir?") if she would leave me in peace to have my meal and read my book if I gave her ten dollars there and then. She went off in tears and i ended up having a row with the manager.

Not round here in France, ****s are constantly saying hello, being polite and starting boring conversations. I miss London sometimes...

They pay **** wages in American restaurants but you better ****ing tip if you want to go back again.
I even left a tip after eating at Nando's in Wood Green the last time I gave this cute little helpful Potugese girl a fiver because she let my 3 kids rinse out the frozen yoghurt machine and she was thrilled .
I hope she pocketed it instead of adding it to the pennies at the till.

<laugh> If we pull out of the EU I will start my own political party - one of my first policies will be to make it a criminal offence for strangers to talk to each other. Oh and i'll bring abck the death penalty just to make sure people obey it.

Hence, I have said in another post, their customer service is good in non tipping establishments, such as ****ing shops. **** off, Simon<laugh><steam>

Banal questions.

"Would you like to see a menu?"

No I came in to shelter from the weather.

They would probably get fired if they didn't but they are hot on customer service.
Weird when you go to a bar and they leave the tips on the bar until you go , it's a subtle way of telling you that it's expected I think.

A brief nod and a polite answer if you ask them something (can we have a jug of water please/can you get the bill) is all I want when I eat out.

I do remember helping some confused tourists during the Olympics, they looked so ****ing grateful, they must have been wandering around the Tube for hours <laugh>
