marzman Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I've got no poeple skills when it comes to this stuff. I'd have done exactly what you did. ...Just keep your motor out of sight buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan3054 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I'd have felt like smacking him as well, but I think it was much better you didnt. Drunk arseholes like this guy will be along everyday, and as hard as it is, you just have to ignore these people. Used to deal with drunks quite a bit in my last job as a bobby(ducks and hides for cover ), and theres just no reasoning with them.

bronzee Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 It's a bit of a tough situation, especially if he's a semi regular customer. A little bit of diplomacy and humour him perhaps to keep things as calm as possible as it's not totally off the cards for a verbally abusive person might turn physically. No one has any place speaking to someone in that manner. If he's not a forgetful drunk he might be so embarrassed he won't come in again for some time, or maybe he doesn't give a hoot. Ultimately when it is your business you don't really want anyone bad mouthing you or your business. Word of mouth is a powerful thing, and a drunk will often slant in their favour. My 02 cents worth, hope it helps. You did well not to lose your rag He sure did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Moved You did well mate, and if this guy is a regular he may be feeling a bit sorry and apologise next time he comes in. If not, I'm sure you guys can give him a special oyster sauce! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Drunking idiots normally forget the next day anyway. He'll probably feel ashamed but if he does start again then lay him out. No messing, once is insulting but twice is well out of order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmJak Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I'm always of the opinion if you insult people serving you food you get bodily fluid in your meal - not saying Ho does but that's what I'd do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_350z Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Install a camera, film this crap, then play it back constantly on TV... a pub in Hull used to do this to shame the idiots from ever coming back in - one particularly memorable video had a bloke walking around dancing with his knob out - doubt if he ever came back in!

A big NO NO mate 20 years i have worked in a pizza shop till midnight and yes you do get some A-holes in but the best way is to serve them asap and get them back out of the shop, never make eye to eye contact and just smile. Happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD7 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 If he's a regular I'd just think yeah you're a to55er but your drunken money funds my mods so I'll overlook it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the most docile person you could meet Nixy! Ho, honestly you did the right thing again. It's the polices job to deal with this. You know fine that if you intervene you will be beaten up, your car will be wrecked and your shop will be trashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Sounds like a right pain Ho, I have had to change my parking place as the local kids use my old location to throw empty bottles about. Aparently there is nothing the police can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_350z Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 camera outside the shop as well as one inside? As for Gixxer's comment about cameras putting people off - no way! The only people that will put off are the ratbags you don't want in. I think our good friend Ho would prefer no hassle over a few quid?

DJsickboy Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 That is why I could not work with the general public. I doubt I would have had your patience mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
