I was in the back when a lady poked her head around the corner and asked if someone could help her, because she had been out front a while. After telling her that one of the opticians would be with her shortly, I went to the back door and found the opticians all hanging around outside smoking. The manager told me "We're pretending we're at the beach!" "Well," I replied, "there's been a woman waiting out front for a while pretending to be a customer!"

lol, Good one!
Don't you just love how smokers can waste company time for their addiction? You co-workers may have been on a legitimate break but I have known a lot of people that "sneak" out for a "quick one" which usually takes about 10 minutes.

We deal a lot with an insurance company which covers many low-income (or no-income) people. This insurance company gives the patients glasses, but they make them all themselves at their labs. Needless to say, they don't tend to be terribly good glasses, and they usually take forever to get to the patient. Since we have absolutely nothing to do with the manufacture of the glasses, we generally advise the people who are incensed that their free glasses have not arrived yet to call their insurance company. I have been told that if they call the insurance company to complain about the long time it takes for their lenses to arrive, they get the response "If you want your glasses faster, pay for them yourself!"
Heh, must be nice working for a company that offers services you don't want people to use.

Yeah, I send a guy out for wire that I need while I crawl around the residential equivilant of hell (12" clearance attic and or crawl spaces). I wait 20 minutes, dislodge myself from the hideously uncomfortable crevice, and find new guy smoking outside holding the contractor hostage in a pointless fishing conversation, and slowly but surely signing his very clear deathwish.
GRRRR
