Do you find some companies really patronising? - Page 4

I always make them change it if they put ice in it.

I must admit that they are usually good during quieter periods, but I guess everyone makes mistakes... especially at lunch when they can be serving 40-60 people an hour.

I've never seen anyone go "oh yeah, I mean't a meal". If I wanted a meal I'd ask for one (or go somewhere that sold something big enough to be classed as a meal...)

Do you need help with your packing, I've got bloody 3 items.
Thanks for shopping, come again blah blah blah.
Did you find everything you where looking for sir. WELL if I didn't I would bloody ask.

Or am I just over reacting.

I ask this to customers in store, you would be surprised how many people don't ask for help. I then proceed to either get them the thing they couldn't find or tell them where to find it while I finish putting through their sale. Obviously not everyone is as wonderful at shopping as you are.

It's actually selling up. The opportunity is there to sell a meal instead of just a burger. If one person thinks "actually I might as well have the meal" then it's a sale you wouldn't have had (usually twice the price). Nutcase, about 3-4/10 people do take the meal when they asked for a single burger, so it makes them tonnes of cash. And of course, that doesn't count the stupid peoe who meant a meal when they asked for a burger!
