HEADPHONES Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Zed is parked in the car park outside the dental surgery where I work. Over the past 7 yrs most patients know it's my pride and joy. Today someone commented in a jovial way how nice I have kept it over the years, and if I wanted it keeping that way I'd better not hurt him I'm sure it was out of jest as I get on really well with him but having everyone know that the tango chariot is mine certainly ensures EXTRA GOOD customer service even when they are totally unreasonable. Anyone else fear for their zed due to vengeful customers/clients at work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 i'm a teacher, every student knows my car had several students threaten to key it, slash tyres etc, it was slightly in jest, but they were the kind of kids that could/would do something like that. still doesn't stop me being a hard arsed barsteward. the naughty ones know i'd strign them up by their testies with piano wire if they touched my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a dangerous threat to make, im sure dentists know how to be... less gentle... while they work or at least less cooperative when he comes to you in pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Didn't realise u were a dentist as well. None of my patients have threatened my car- their phobias are too bad I did get a scratch along when I had the clk. Don't think it was one of my patients just someone jealous. Luckily it wasn't my clk it was a spanking new courtesy clk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidder Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I had the front bonnet of mine done a a few years back on my 200sx. Thats what you get for being a Kitchen Manager in charge of 10 stressed out chefs doing 4000 people a week. Don't half see some stress going down. I try not to give them the 'ramsay treatment' but sometimes it's un-avoidable due to the stress! I've had a few saying there 'gonna do me or my car'(or both!). PS I have a nice big wad of cash sitting here waiting on you moving practice to sort me out some hollywood smile sh*t Always fancied one of those porcelain veneer jobs.How much for a full set with discount?

Well I could tell you a few stories about 18 year old waitresses.I've got a flat in the hotel and one knocked on my door in a cowgirl outfit, guns and all and said , well you can guess! Needless to say I took her up on her offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik54 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Never had any issues with clients - and I work with some pretty hardcore young people - infact the zed used to be a really good icebreaker for those lads who were 'harder to reach' When I worked in residential child care though - my old car was battered and abused several times - but it was never just mine so I didn't take it personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Always fancied one of those porcelain veneer jobs.How much for a full set with discount? All depends how much u wanna spend. The more u pay the better the quality. We charge between £100-375 per tooth Could do them on the nhs for very little. They usually look like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leonk Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hi Headphones, just remind him of the scene in Marathon Man where Lawrence Olivier ( psychotic war criminal dentist ) is asking Dustin Hoffman " Is it safe? " with a drill in one hand and oil of cloves in the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 6k cash is fine with me any day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
