Grrrrrrrrr

Man, don't even go there! Ever noticed how many checkers count back change these days?

I'm closely watching at the checkout and if they don't count it properly, I pull my hand back and ask them to do it correctly. The first time I ask. The second time I demand it. I've even had to ask for the manager to come and do it.

It's just plain laziness, stupidity, piss poor training, (or combination) but whatever it is, I don't tolerate it.

(Too much coffee this morning ya know)

The only people who don't make mistakes are those who don't do anything. Sure you're annoyed but give the guy a break at least once. I also suspect you are as annoyed at yourself as you are at him. billh

I even took the time to take the metal cap off and make sure the valve was tight. I was inches from the label. And I didn't see it. I was pissed, but not for long. On to the next thing.

I DID take off the cap and make sure that the valve had been closed tightly. ( I had a previous experience where I got the cylinder home and didn't hook it up, and when I did, I had 300 psi.) What's the next thing? You have to carry a pressure gauge and check to see if you get a full cylinder?

Probably.

You have to carry a gas analyzer to make sure that you have the right gas? These are really uncommon occurrences. Most of the times I have gone, they got things right. Yet, over all, it is becoming more and more common.

And, it's usually some twentysomething spikey haired idiot with one or more body piercings or tattoos. Animated. Talking a mile a minute. Can't stand still. Too bad they didn't pay the $400 for the tattoo on a community college course.

Rant off. AGAIN.

Just be happy you got nitrogen instead of Nitrous Oxide. Then again if you had gotten the NOX you might be happier yet .. till they took off the bandages and told you how much it was going to cost to replace the shop... :)
