Anyone got any?

Highlight of my day:

Had a bloke in my shop yesterday looking at an £8.99 Country Baskets cheapo silk display. He then said 'do you give discounts?!?

Talk about tight!

My favourite today was the chap who wanted something simple for his g/friend ( should av wrapped im in cello and stuck a bow on him, would even av delivered it for free) ask him for a clue i.e favourite flower/colour replies don't know only been goin out with her for a year WTF! Muppet

Or it could be the bloke who came in and said to my hubby "What we doing for Valentine's then" reply "Why, do you want to take me out" Swear I could have killed him

Highlight of my day was: a man walks in the shop in a rush and wants to order a bouquet to collect later, staff says what time you want to collect and he said 5 and its sharp, staff says yes sir you'll have to be sharp cause we're not hanging around today, he says yes but sharp, she says yes sir sharp sharp sharp see you sharp at 5, I turned round in a fit of laughter and said the man is trying to tell you his name is sharp! Everybody was in fits

Bet her face was red

How funny

can't think of the funny bits at the mo its all still a blurrrrrr

Had this blike in last week, did not like him when he came in (shifty eyes) he wanted a £15.00 bq for his wife and 3 single red roses I advised £5.00 each and a fiver delivery (lives in remote croft) total 35.00 quibbled about that, I checked with him that he did not want the roses in bq, no seperate ok I would like them delivered VD in the morning, I said it would have to be about 11 ish as o/h has hosp appt at 9.30am and he would do delivery after hosp ok
he left his mobile number incase o/h could not find him, he has only moved into this area from Dorset a few weeks ago. As luck would have it we got another 3 orders from same area one a bit further on, so in his wisdom o/h says I will set off at 6.45am so I get deliveries done before hosp. He gets to this bloke at 7.10am house in darkness, he then asks directions from farm house nearby, and when he gets to bloke who has his Hugh Hefner dressing gown. (yuk) who was not happy, he said we asked for 8.30 delivery (does he think he arranged appointment with docs-who keeps you waiting up to 30 mins)O/H phoned me and said the bloke had given wrong mobile number as he had tried to tel for directions. Anyway the said bloke rung up today to complain..I need this as I am knackered from yesterday not much sleep, he is only looking for compensation (haha) I said you have no chance, I delivered in the morning, just that it was early, I told him my o/h had rung him and got a wrong number. He did not want to listen kept talking over me. He said I will come in next week to see you (how nice). When o/h comes in today I checked the phone and he had dialled the wrong mobile number what a plonker, makes me look a prize idiot. What would you do, give him a £5.00 compensation bq as o/h was in the wrong. I mean it was one of the busiest days of the year. sorry its so long I needed to moan about it before I kick my o/h

Let's face it..women who go out to work have usually left the house by 7.30, so you've got to get there before that or wait til 6pm. Just tell him you normally charge an extra 20 quid for 'really early', but you waived it in his case because he reminded you of George Clooney.

Well...ya never know

I've read this twice and I still can't understand what happened
I am right in saying you said a time to the customer on valentines day though?? NEVER give customers a time for delivery at peak times (unless you only have about 5 orders!! )

That made me laugh fly really funny I will tell him that when he comes in about the 20 quid not GC
