Picked-up my pre-booked ticket from LPY early on Saturday morning. I'd normally do this at Cressington, but I didn't have time before the 06:24 to Hunts Cross arrived.
Two people on the tills in the shop/ticket office. I walk-up to the nearest and it goes something like this:
Me: 'ticket for collection please'
Them: 'the ticket machine is working'
Me: 'I prefer to get it in here please' (there's no one else in the shop apart from the other staff member)
I'm now opening the email on my 'phone, and before I could read out the reference code;
Them: 'just show me the number' (no 'please', 'thank you' or anything)
I now hold the screen towards them whilst I also start quoting the number to be me with:
Them: 'I CAN read it'
Some people need jobs in a non-customer facing role, because a nice attitude and a smile doesn't half make the day go smoother, IMHO.
Made me chuckle, though.
