Whistling...

***

i see how that's frustrating, its definitely demeaning, and the dude's an ignorant ass for doing it. i wonder whatever happened to "Excuse me, sir?" well, still, i guess you coulda handled the situation diffrently that wouldn't have earned you this '3 day vacation'. oh well, kill some time, i guess, sry ot hear it.

haha sorry to laugh but i can just picture this happening and it seems really amusing. i really don't see how that guy could've interpreted what you said as rude :p well AF can probably keep you busy on your 3 day vacation

I agree with dudeasabutten.

I don't mind the vacation one bit...with no car payment at the moment and pretty much only having to pay for gas which isn't anymore than $60 a month I can deal with it. AF will keep me busy for those 3 days. The best part about it though is that I'm suspended for 3 scheduled days not just 3 days. So I get a whole week off!

Oh and Danielle I don't mind you laughing one bit. I was laughing the whole way home and quite a few other employees were laughing too.

:lol::1: :lol2:


What a lazy son of a bitch, who whistles to get someone's attention??

what a tool!

YAY vacation!

I get that crap at work as well, I just ignore them or walk right past them. If they confront me about it, i just say "excuse me, I didn't hear you say anthing to me". They get so pissed off about it and storm away, then the next time they actually do say something instead of whistling.

I agree with dudeasabutten.

:spit:damn I just caught that....

I get the same stuff happening to me. Its not going to get my attention to help you any faster. In fact, whistling and ringing the bell more than ONCE will slow my attentiveness and my pace of movement.. It might take me 5-10 minutes to walk up the aisle to the checkstand to help you. I've had customer complaints, but not enough for a 3 day suspension, just 1 day suspension. I just love it though when customers will put their hands on you to get your attention.

I agree with dudeasabutten.

:rofl: Funny..

If you drive a fork lift or any kind of machine, its wonderful excuse to ignore. Oh sorry sir I couldn't hear you. When I am at the barn I do that a lot when I can easily shut down the machine(tractor, and yes she is sexy). But most of the people their who do need to get my attention usually wait for me to pass by them and then stand to the side so i can park up and they can talk to me. My favorite is when customers or passerbys from the hiking trails stand in my path and think I am going to stop for them.

i always whistle to get people's attention. if they tell me to stop i do. if not then i assume they dont mind and carry on.

sigged! :rofl:

Ohhhhhhh snap!:icon16:

I think you handled fairly well considering the level of frustration you were at.
Next time chuck something at him.

those are the people that you want to put a DYE into the water during the job.

This story just about made me spew water all over the keyboard. But I agree that it was pretty asnine for the customer to be whistling at your some kind of work dog on a cattle ranch. People need to get their act together. Idiocy should be painful too :devil:

:nono: I'm going to counter that. Think about it, #4 in 90 days, your own words.

Customers can be absolute jerks, but that is YOUR problem, not theirs, you are being paid to do your job to company standards, right? If not, you deserve to be reprimanded for not biting your tongue and trying to use a tactful manner to the jerk customers. I understand that enough can be enough, but be better than them, or quit your job.:smokin:

^nicely said.

to OP, kinda what i meant when i said you could have handled the situation differently.

NExt time a customer whistles at you like youre a dog, just run over on all 4s panting and barking once or twice :lol:

They'll think twice the next time they need assistance.
