To the customer who accidentally got given a bottle of Chateau le Pin Pomerol 2001, which is £4500 on our menu, last night - hope you enjoyed your evening! To the member of staff who accidentally gave it away, chin up! One-off mistakes happen and we love you anyway

If you read the full story, the bottle that the customer had actually ordered cost 260 quid.

 

Even that's fucking obscene to me. If it's more than a tenner you can fuck off.

£6 used to be my final offer.

Lidl used to have decent bargains for that figure.

Best bit of 'free' advertising - two articles on the front page of BBC News.

It’s in the Times today too. The BBC picked it up within about 10 mins of the tweet. Great ‘journalism ‘

We had personality tests done at work, all that 4 colours bollocks.  Despite it being nothing more than a posh horoscope I was amused to see I scored lowest on altruism. Apparently I believe charity begins and stays in the home and not people I’ve no relationship with. Who’d have guessed?

Well after being out of work since 1st May I had my first interview yesterday, had a phone call this morning to offer me a job! Made up as I was so nervous beforehand. It’s in local NHS offices, 5 hours a day, 4 days a week! Supposed to be getting all the formal details from HR in an email, haven’t had anything yet but hopefully not too much delay.

Well done Suzy , and just the right place to help you sort out the mental health issues engendered from spending too much time on here for 3 months.

I'd advise you to avoid the 'little things that annoy you' thread in the future and its love of NHS office staff. Well done on the job.

Now 2hrs45m into our IT people and case management software people trying to sort out a fairly minor problem with the case management software on my laptop. Fucking seriously.

Email came from our comms department today suggesting that we should include our preferred pronouns in our Outlook signatures.

 

Strongly considering requesting I be referred to as "His Serene Majesty" in mine.

I didn’t even recognise half the pronouns they were talking about. There is a pronoun of ‘Ey’ now?

Remember a few weeks ago in the trans thread when someone said ‘who’s forcing you to use that language?’  This is it happening.

Keeping HR people in work is an entire industry in itself. You could distill everything they do down to a few PDF leaflets and a blag copy of Sage.

What would happen if you didn’t use the pronouns?  It’s come from HR, so I think I can guess.  
 

If you call a person with a beard, penis and girlfriend a man, you’d be in trouble. Mental.

I don't know if this is really in keeping with the topic of the thread but it is work related. Why can't people answer a fucking email in a timely fashion. This lady who I had a phone interview with a month ago for a job that is so much better than the one I have right now told me to follow up with her a week after the interview by email, so 3 weeks ago, and I STILL have not gotten a response. She told me to email her, I didn't just do it out of the blue. FUCCCCCCKKKK. COME ONNNNNNNN bitch, answer the fucking email!!! Tell me I got the job, or I that I'm a fucking idiot and I didn't, all I want is an answer!!!
