after all this talk about freebies I was not in the mood for being asked for "free samples" today. What is wrong with people! I know some might say I'm tight but I don't ask the petrol station for free samples of fuel, or the supermarket for free samples of milk. I've actually got sites where I give loads away because they're genuinely nice people, but why the effing scroungers, the prematurely aged, smoking and drinking away their benefits and trying to get their grubby hands on whatever they can.
"where are our freebies?"
WHAT FREEBIES?!
"the other guy always gives us one or two"
WHAT OTHER GUY? I've NEVER seen you before and I'm the only tower in this place for the last 3 years.
"I thought it's your own business kind of thing"
SO YOU THOUGHT I COULD JUST GIVE THEM AWAY?
"oh, why not?"
I shut up at this point, to prevent a breach of the peace.
Next site:
"have you got any free samples?"
i snapped, "free samples?!!? can't you see what it looks like?! what do you need a sample for!! It's only a pound!! why do you need a sample, have you never seen sweets before!?"
various other attempts today including pleading that it's "for the kids" crikey as if the kids would ever see the sweets with a horror of a mother like her! talk about an entitlement culture...

Re: Wise Cracks
Yep i want to tell them to f**k off espeicaly if im tired.
BUT its not the way to go.
Your workng they are relaxing its banter if you go along with it 19 time out of 20 they will have a laugh in the end at there own comments because they are getting no freebies. fav lines are:-
do i get free bear in here?
do you know i get asked in every pub.........everyone gets the same answer (laughing)
if you was female 20 somthing and sexy.... maybe.... but your not
ive lost my rag in the past but not anymore unless they are a proper nause
Regards Brian

Re: Wise Cracks
Hi Steve. My favourite is, sorry mate, i've eaten all the free ones...... It normally gets a laugh.. Regards Al..Snackmore wrote:How many of you whilst re stocking a machine had the 'got any free samples' one liner from punters? What do you say to them? I normally turn it into a joke but very often feel like saying 'why dont you fcuk off'
I popped into a club tonight (which has a big party tomorrow) which I had missed off last week and just had it said to me and my response was , 'If I had a pound everytime that was said to me today I would have a pound!' Which sounded really lame
So come on you whitty bunch give me your best one liners

Re: Wise Cracks
I claim im just an employee (of my uncle) and hes a tight **** and doesnt pay me enough! I also let the pub owners think this also as whenever they ask for a new machine or more commissionI say.......
will have to check with the boss the funny thing is they ring up my mobile and I then answer and have to pretend to be someone else sometimes!
