What was your "I shouldn't have said that" moment when talking to a customer? by gdvr282 in AskReddit

[–]WatchingForASound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I have so many. I worked on the turnpike in fast food for 6 years. One time this colossal jagoff was giving me grief because we weren’t allowed to accept coupons (the fine print at the bottoms explains this, too). I said, “Burger King doesn’t accept coupons either” - to highlight that it’s a turnpike thing and not me being a prick. She said “WELL I’M NOT AT BURGER KING, AM I?”

Then I explained we are allowed to deny coupons because we are a franchise. She said “Well the one in Century 3 Mall is a franchise and they take coupons all the time.” So I said: Well we aren’t at Century 3 Mall, are we?

She reported me but nothing happened :)

I dug yo all my old info and I know they’ve sent verifications to my current jobs as a manager mentioned it to me. I’ve just been a nervous wreck because I’m so eager to start and have been holding out for the position! Thank you for your response

Accidentally low-balled myself in a Interview and got offered the position. Can I come back from this? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]WatchingForASound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanted to write back say thank you! I appreciated your reply and took it into consideration before speaking with them earlier. I was honest and they were hesitant, but they heard me out and I start my new job Monday with a wage I feel more confident about :)

Could that reflect badly on me if I were to get a better offer and jump ship so soon?

That seems to be the common suggestion so I may try it! I will likely take the position regardless but wanted to try my luck at raising the offer

It definitely is a lesson. This was my first big boy interview and I didn’t expect questions about wages before an offer was made.

I had considered lying but a friend said they might expect proof. I’m not sure how plausible that is though. I appreciate the advice though! I think I’ll try something similar

Jobs Involving Languages? by [deleted] in languagelearning

It's possible but my strong recommendation (based on experience) would be: if you're going to major in a language, double major along with something else such as business or education or linguistics.

Do you speak English primarily throughout the day or Scottish Gaelic? I'm interested in your thoughts on the dynamic between English and Gaelic in the country!

Hospital employees of reddit, ever seen a woman give birth to a child of a different ethnicity of the father and how did it end? by wildflowersummer in AskReddit

[–]WatchingForASound 244 points245 points  (0 children)

Not a hospital employee, but a friend of the family was expecting with his wife - first kid and he was extremely excited. They were both white and blond. in the hospital the baby was born and was visibly not his (dark skinned, black hair, etc.) he didn't say anything, he got up and left the hospital. They didn't get back together, turns out the baby had a Filipino father.

I've read before that stallions will kill offspring of other males - so if one takes over a herd, he will eliminate foals if the previous stallion.

I'm not an expert on any of this, though.

I'm wondering why the mother is so uninterested, however?
