I have no power here, that's why you are being put through to me. 2. In what world am I going to pass you through to our finance director? Does this approach ever yield any results, why are you wasting both our time, what did you expect? there is a big database thingy cold callers work from , seems it also tells a bit of info like if you took the call etc and it gets updated regularly ... the fact you are taking the call is probably enough encouragement for the next hotshot salesman to think you are worth a call ...

rodders0223 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 3 times this past week I have been in several sports direct stores and picked out a variety of football boots, size 9. Not in stock. Not in stock. Not in stock. Suggest I order online and I am at the point I think **** it. (BTW the boots in store advertised as £30 and clearly never stocked in stock are £40 online) Sign in to an account, select boots. Delivery. £5.99 Deliver to store. £5.99 Deliver to pick up point. £5.99 Yeah. No. **** your company. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted July 19, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 19, 2018 Our vending machine at work is broken. There's an A4 sign on it, big printed letters, saying "OUT OF ORDER". At least 2 people have subsequently lost money in it by trying to use it despite this warning. I mean, how **** stupid can you actually be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, how **** stupid can you actually be? Many years ago when recycled copier paper was a state of the art new thing, we had a batch delivered to the office. All the boxes were brown with leaf patterns, quite distinctive to shout its recycled credentials. Trouble was, the paper was crap. It was flakey and dusty and bunged up the machine. So I put all that paper over to one side of the copier room, took a sheet of it and wrote on that sheet 'DO NOT USE THIS PAPER IT BREAKS THE COPIER'. Then I stuck that note on the front of the pyramid of boxes of paper. Twenty minutes later the copier is bust because someone has used the shitty paper. So I asked 'did you not see my note?' So they said 'oh, I thought it just meant that piece'. 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defacing isn't true for starters. replacing is more accurate Imagine if your landlord came round and put racist slogans on your wall? Kipling's works are considered pretty racist these days. What happened was the University of Manchester (The Landlords) put up a display in the Students Union (The Tennant) which the Students Union Executive then replaced with something more appropriate for a Students Union which professes to be an inclusive organisation and building. Not the story that appears to be being told in many sections of the media 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
