I doubt it, because there's a difference between going to a shop to buy something and someone calling you during dinner trying to sell you stuff. Or mormons coming knocking on your door on a weekend morning. Notice how I'm never at the supermarket at dinnertime, buying things I don't want...

Re: Semester II Chatter Thread! I haven't actually got any marks back at all this semester. Wait. One. The ICE/MITE test. 10/10. It was only worth 10% and it was so easy my little cousins could have passed it. Also I probably got a groupwork assessment back but i can't remember the mark.

Haha well you've clearly never been to my store. We're the busiest store in NSW on weekdays, so we learn to be fast. Of course when new people start they're slow, but since our people mostly work there full time they're very good. Generally we want to get customers in and out as fast as...

I think that after working with customers, you do try to be as polite and friendly and not-annoying as possible. It's a do-unto-others sort of thing. Even if I'm having a shit day I'll always smile and thank whoever serves me. Besides the fact that it's courteous, being nice makes me feel nice.

I'd say not. Second hand cars are made for new drivers, since they're cheap and relatively expendable. You can bump it and not bother repairing it (who wants to be seen in a dented porsche? Embarrassing amirite?). If you desperately want a new car, you can get some small cars for less than...

Yeah I would hardly call working at woolies while you're at uni being "stuck" there. The fact that they're going to uni/doing the HSC kind of implies that they're planning on doing something else with their lives. I actually do bitch to my employer about customers. She even contested our...

Yup. I've been there for ages so I get frustrated when people don't do things right.

read the MOTHERFUCKING tag It's so simple, but if you don't do it I have to remake the whole drink or spend 5 minutes scooping ice out of it. If it says no ice, don't put any ice in it. The customers watch you like a hawk and they'll only speak up AFTER you've put ice in it and I'm about to...

Re: Semester II Chatter Thread! ... THE SEAGULL IS STEALING THE CHIPS!!!!!!! That's an american seagull if i'm not mistaken. Those fuckers are BIG. Two, three times the size of our seagulls. I'd hate to make one angry.

Re: Semester II Chatter Thread! Carriageworks is pretty cool. It's an old railway shed converted into a dance studio. Very echoey with high ceilings, HUGE amount of space. I'm nowhere exciting. HK ward gym, Woolley lecture room, Quad room. I handed my essay in to Dr Stevie when he was in...

Mang if you fail the HSC, get your ass into some sort of trade and you will make more money than your smelly friends who do medicine. Plus you'll have better hours and you won't waste 5 years at uni. AND depending on the trade you'll get days off if it rains! Woo! If you don't fail, then do...

Re: Semester II Chatter Thread! I'm very proud of me. I started at 1pm yesterday and managed to write a reasonably coherent 2000 word essay. I even proofread it twice (once I thought it was going to be the real copy til I found a mistake. Then I found half a dozen more). And I finished...

What everyone here is saying is that most people are fine. You might get one shitty customer a week, which is not enough to quit a job. BUT it is annoying while it's happening. And it is this tiny percentage of customers that actually need the rules outlined for them. Hence this thread. It...

Re: Semester II Chatter Thread! Main entry level of ed building, over near the lifts. That little officey type area.

Re: Semester II Chatter Thread! Heh for my english course this semester there were up to 35 people in the tute. Reason being the english dept didnt get their shit together until after semester started, so they cancelled a class and most people didn't want to change, so they just went to the...

Re: Semester II Chatter Thread! I wrote about Freud, Erikson and Piaget. I think everyone else in the world might have, too. I just started researching and they had lots of info so I went for them, because usually I have trouble making the word limit without fluffing it up.

Re: Semester II Chatter Thread! Ah well the thing is even though there's a percentage leeway, i'm bound to go over it. Like way over. Hence editing. There's prolly stuff I don't need right now anyway.

Re: Semester II Chatter Thread! The marking critieria thing sounds like sleepy rambling to me. Anywho, today I wrote 2000 words on human development theory. Well done me for having quite well organised research notes, it was a snap to write. Problem is that 2000 is the word limit and I...

Re: Semester II Chatter Thread! Haha I did that last year. Wow it feels like so long ago. Can't say I remember anything, except that the story is really convoluted. Anywho, I've finished my visual arts process diary so I can go to bed. Except I need to unwind first. *eats m&ms* Damn...

Try some evening primrose oil. I started getting really mad PMS on the pill. I'm talking door-slamming and crying. Primrose oil fixed that.
