Pashley26 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Some geezer just came into work...With some shitty Carrera Banshe bollocks."I bought this from you last week and....""No you didn't" "Yes I did, what are you trying to say ?" "We don't sell Carrera""Well, I want to speak with your manager"I walked out the back and then came back out and said "How can I help ?" "I want to speak with the manager !""I am the manager, unless you want to come back on the 17th of March ?" "I want you to pump my fork up and fix my bike!" ""Ok, whats up with the bike ?" "The forks are soft and it creeks" *I push the BB from side to side with my foot* "Thats your problem" "Whats that ?""Botton suspension bushes are loose, and the cranks haven't been tightened""Well, you built it so you fix it""No, we didn't build it. If you come back with a reciept from us then I'll happily fix it for you free of charge, or we can charge you for a bike rebuild and go through the bike greesing and tightening everything that Halfords have left loose and setting it all up. That will cost £15 ?""Thats extortionate!""It's normally £25, but your being a pain in the arse so I'll do it cheaper" "Ok, fine...."What the f**ks that all about !

Greetings Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 This is a good one:Apparently Chrysler is asking each American taxpayer to donate 70 dollars in order to save the "legendary" car manufacturer. Perhaps if they didn't make crap cars and had a decent management which doesn't use their private jets to get to every meeting, they wouldn't have to make a laugh out of themselves.

Greetings Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Imagine how difficult that story would be to read if he tried to recreate it word for word instead.Instead of:"Botton suspension bushes are loose, and the cranks haven't been tightened"We'd have:Then in reply, the following words were used: loose bush, tightened bottom. The sentence was in past tense. It also contained other words but I don't exactly remember which. Pashley26 did a good job considering how awkward that story might have been to read if he tried to write exactly and only what he remembered.

adamtrials Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Pacelforce guy just came to take away my old Giant ATX 1, and I had done literally the worst job of packing it ever.The swingarm was sticking out the top of the box, and the rear wheel was zip tied and sellotaped to the side.I couldn't help but piss myself laughing at his disapproving groans...

Fishy Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Looks well cluttered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) Looks well cluttered.I agree. I think the boss some how "watches" what I say on TF (and the internet in general ???) so I best not say to much. Some how he knew I'd said that I had one of the key's on my keyring and quoted the sentence off here to me.I was like Doesn't "bother" me because I'll say what the f**k I want but I wouldn't want him (if he is "watching") to think it's because I wouldn't tell it face to face to him. (but I do tell him, all the time)Complicated ? Edited February 20, 2009 by Pashley26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 f**k me that look like a nightmare to work in/go in/shop in As I say above, I don't want to comment because I think the boss watches what I post on the internet some how.But I (and the customers) agree, but he won't let you tidy it up. Says it projects a good image to the consumer..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Bummer... Well maybe one he'll come around/leave and you can sort it out!Yeah man, the doubly annoying thing is he's got this theory of "more if more" but it's really not in a marketing sense. It's obviously better to have one of each size of bike you carry on display clearly and well presented. But instead we have (in some cases) 12 of the same bike on display crammed into a small space. Which means there are only one or two of the 150+ bikes we've got in stock which aren't damaged. And it's SO bad when customers want to see a bike and you have to struggle and ask them to help to get a bike out, whilst mullering the down tube on the bike next doors pedals. It's been so good this last week with just me and Chris, everythings worked smoothly and efficiently and we've taken the same amount of money and done the same amount of repairs. I know that when he gets back next month I'll be doing twice the work and only adding to the clutter in the shop that I will have worked hard to clean up in the few weeks.
