Momo, the staff must be pretty silly , those 20 liter {5 gallon} paint drums have a seal that has to be removed {can't be put back on} before you can take the lid off, i'd be looking for better staff......

I'd be looking for better management, as it is established policy that a clerk cannot check the contents- and that is a big WTF...Larry

WTF is correct....WTF....     Whats the old saying..."its hard to soar like an Eagle when you are surrounded by Turkey's"....

i wouldve thought that paint is thicker than water,surely if you shook the drum an experienced operator could detect it?then again if its brim full?might be hard to judge,just open the #$%*en can and catch the #$%* out!and if it is the real paint tell em its faded since you bought it so you only get 80% return?that covers the handling.

Dave,  the return clerk is not allowed to open a can to check.  The scammers/crooks seem to have free reign.  I could get political as to why buy I'll hold my spiel...Larry

youd get a punch in the head here,not you,the scammers!

We(the employees) would love to do that but as soon as one confronts a crook the employee faces termination-another big WTF...Larry

That's right Larry. Just ask the guy that worked at Wal-mart and he got fired for helping a woman that was being attacked in the parking lot of the store. Wal-mart said it was against company policy for a employee to get involved in that and should of called the proper authorities instead. I guess let the women be beat up, raped, or even killed waiting on the cops to get there I guess that's just one of many reasons I dislike Wally-World After all of the media coverage and bad press Wal-mart decided they had no other choice to save face and to keep up their good standing in the community(Yeah right) would have to give this young man his job back, but the last I heard he pulled a Johnny Paycheck on them and told them *To Take This Job And Shove It I Ain't Working Here No More* Way to go man

Like I said I work in a car dealers parts dept. Our parts system is Vin# oriented and designed to look up parts by the Vin# of the vehicle needing the part or parts. Example of this: 2008 Chrysler 300, needing a left frt. interior door trim panel. Without having the last 8 digits of the vin# of this car when looking it up it list all the parts#'s available for the left frt interior door trim panel for all 2008 Chrysler 300. It could be a dozen different#'s to choose from. But with the last 8 of the vin of this car it decodes it and only gives us the one correct part#. Simple and easy to understand right, well not to some people. A customer called our GM not to long ago and was complaining about us parts guys asking for his vin of his car and didn't understand why we needed it to look up a part for his car. After all its just a part, why do I have to give out private and personal info like that. I just can't believe they have to have it. And by the way I want you to know I didn't like the way he ask me for it either, I thought he was being rude to me. WT#$%^

Wrangler Jeep with a old soft top comes in to the service drive. Customer: I've got some wind noise going down the road No joke

Customer: I have a light on the dash saying my tires are low. What do I need to do Here's your sign!!

Customer: I special ordered a part last year and I'm here to get it now and your telling me you sent in back. I want to talk to the parts mgr right now!!

Customer: I need to change my fluid in my transfer case and my rear end and have no idea what it takes, can you tell me. Me: Yes sir it takes ATF plus 4 in the transfer case and 75w140 in the rear diff. Customer: Are you sure that's right

Customer: You cut me this new key last week because I had lost mine, but I found it in the trash can last night. So why can't I get a refund on the one you cut.

Customer: Can you price me some tires for my car? Me: yes I can. What car do you have? Customer: A chrysler. Me: What type of Chrysler? Customer: I don't know but I know it's got 4 doors. Me: ok what size tires do you need? Customer: What ever size my car takes. Alrighty then!!!

Good stuff dhall-seems the intelligence level is a bit off with some of your customers...Larry

[dhall57]

I can't always throw it on the customer MoMo. At times over the years I've had my brain farts too. One in particular that happened years ago. I took a body order on a Dodge Grand Caravan long wheel base for a quarter panel and a quarter glass. When I was putting in the vin# I fat fingered one of the numbers and didn't realize it. Well guess what no matter what that body shop did they couldn't stretch that panel or glass enough to make fit on that van. The parts were about a foot to short. You see when I fat fingered that one number it order a panel and a glass for just a regular Caravan short wheel base. Oh well

[MoMo]

Customer says, you mixed my paint wrong, usually in the most accusatory and offensive manner.  The computer we use to mix paint is accurate to 1/576th of an ounce....Larry

[Damfino]

Me: Yes sir it takes ATF plus 4 in the transfer case

I figured their first question would have been, "Plus four of what?"

Had the same frozen complaint about paint once, customer left it out in his garage and it froze and after it thawed out there were all kinds of chunks and gritty, sandlike particles.  He complained, saying the paint should have been able to withstand being frozen.  I explained the water is used as a drying agent in paint and of course it will freeze. overruled by management and we returned his paint and gave him his money back.  Begining to see a pattern about managemet???...Larry

A friend was in the HVAC business. A loyal customer asked him to fix her refrigerator. He explained that he didn't work on appliances but she insisted and he repaired it. Later her son came busting in the front door with a bill for $100 mad as a wet hen.
 After listneing to his list of complaints my friend told him before he went into the HVAC business he had a physical and the doctor said he was OK. SO I AIN'T IN THIS BUSINESS FOR MY f'N HEALTH SO PAY THE BILL OR GET THE 'F OUT. He was a big guy so the bill was paid and he left.

I spent part of my NAVY career working on P-3 Orions.
We had a New P-3 Pilot write complaint that stated "Rudder pedals won't adjust far enough aft to obtain full rudder control"   I'm 5'6" he was 5'6', I went out checked pedal adjustments IAW flight standards and found nothing wrong. I signed off discrepancy " No Discrepancies found ,works 4.0 for short legged Enlisted Man" and we issued him a set of pedal blocks for a tricycle to attach to the rudder pedals when he flew!!!   TRUE STORY"""

I like it when they ask if the parts can be done by such and such time WITHOUT any overtime when it is totally impossible on the standard 40hr week. S.O.S.

[SF]

not a complaint just a story...

 in the 70's and 80's my dad installed windows, well he did a large job on the north side of this lake north of the city at this guys summer cottage and worked week day and nights for this prick so he could have it done for his vacation. job went fast and on time and now it was time to pay but this guy refused his calls or was never home yada yada... so being the level headed guy my dad is took his time to collect $ even a payment plan. full summer came and went, no luck.

 being big in to hunting and scuba entered the south side of the lake toward the boat house and waited till this guy pulled out his pride and joy up to the dock and procceeded to drill several holes in the hull. when this guy saw his boat sinking and ran out of the cottage to save it, all his windows were shot out.

the cottage was up for sale that year.

[Duke McDukiedook]

Woah, couldn't he of just sued the guy to get his money or files a lein against the property?
That sounds like mob-type stuff, did a horsehead wind up in his bed the next morning?

[Xnavylfr]

I would have just removed the windows,it"s called REPO

[KrautKoffin]

I would have drilled holes in the guy while he was in his boat.
