Just been given a bolloking by a gerl in the accounts dept of one of my biggest customers...main Vauxhall dealer.
Known her for several years and she is a bit 'prim and proper, but I always try to be cheerful andf smiley to those that are helping to pay my wages.
Just went in to hand an invoice in and cheeerily said, "Hello me lickle chicky, and how are you today?"
She looked up and scowled at me for several seconds. Asked her waht was up, and she snarled at me...."Bit familiar if you don't mind me saying so", snathched the invoice off me and carried on.
Said "tarar then you" to her, and walked out amidst a couple of the other gerls rolling their eyes, presumably in support of my friendly innocent greeting.
