So this is now the Rant Thread Version 2.0 Please keep the thread clean, if anything bad happens then Admin please close the thread.

So before going to school this morning, I went to purchase a TravelTen Concession bus pass at my local News agency which costed me $8.40. I have purchased a lot of times from this store before, never had any problems with the guy that owns the store but today he "accidentally" gave me a Single-Only ticket, I was rather late to school so I assumed I got what I paid for and I went ahead and got on the bus. I went on the bus and put my ticket in, I realised that it's a Single'-Only ticket. Cause it said "No more rides left" and after checking the ticket labeling. So then I thought it was probably just an honest mistake.

So after school today I went in with my friend. And asked the same guy If I could get my TravelTen Concession Card, and he was on the phone while he was talking to me. I said I would gladly pay him $1 because the Single-only ticket cost that much, if I could get my travel ten concession card which I paid $8.40 for. Then he starts blabbering about how he has never seen me this morning and even in his life, even though I have been there a few times, buying the same ticket. He was rather rude about it too. So I asked him If he can watch the security camera footage, to prove that I was there this morning, then he says that he has no security camera even though it's right behind me. He starts screaming how I'm just a cheater etc. I raised my voice and told him to stop lying and to stop cheating your customers. He then points his finger on an A4 piece of paper saying something like "no refund" or something like that. So I exit out and my friend was screaming the F word at him, and I cursed him too, while I see him smiling when we left.

After that I told my parents about it and they were very upset, they went and told the guy off at the newsagency. After that my parents told me not to worry about it and stuff. But my dad was still really pissed off. But he got over it soon.

Okay I don't care about the $8.40, but the owner of that newsagency just really pisses me off. He can rip me off $100 and I'll get over it the next day, but what I don't want is when I'm treated with disrespect and accused of being a lier/cheater. Also he was being a rude jerk to my parents saying that they should die and he makes more money than my parents do. Seriously?

I just wanted to share this to clear my chest. Maybe I overreacted about this situation, but he just really pissed me off, I hope he goes out of business. [MOG]

Dont ever shop there again and tell many friends and family not to do the same that will be the worst outcome for him, if he treats customers like that he gets what he deserves.

Yeah I hate it when store owners try and act all high and migthy when they are the ones in the wrong.
I guess he just lost himself a regular customer and gained himself a bad rep all at the same time.

I'll leave this thread open for now but if it starts going down the toilet I will return and lock it up. In future probably best to use this thread-

Although looks like we need a new one to be started.

E~ I'll just make this the new rant thread :D

Happens to me quite a bit, especially if I am given the wrong change or something like that in a store they will NEVER honour their end of the deal, despite giving me the wrong change, giving me the wrong items or anything I ask for. They're rude, and need to respect their customers they see EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Most private owned shops especially the managers don't give about customer service.
U can sue him in the according to the Sale and Supply of Goods Act 1994 once u have proof of ur claim. If a store has a sign saying 'NO REFUND' that's BS by law they need to refund. If he doesn't comply than make him the Sydney way by doing a drive-by his house.

Maybe it allows a Xbox 360 controller to be used, otherwise no idea. :O

Another COD is coming out. [Facepalm]

Now I'll see all about it on this site, read all about it on Facebook, hear all about it from my 15 year old brother at home, and delete Internet history of videos watched by him on Firefox for the next 6 months. [Rage]

He's wondering why there's not a list of actions and their corresponding buttons, instead there's a picture of an Xbox 360 controller.

The obvious answer is he should RTFM.

What, then or on your Facebook?
Was actually an accident on your Facebook.
Then was because well, I'd already told you about it I guess. I also just realised many didn't know so I'll fix that.

You probably should edit your post in here just in case and accident or not you know how spoilers work. Some people haven't read the books and have little to no idea what's coming up.

Yeah I had to, you made me furious with your silliness :'(

Oh great I think this thread was created for me!

We have this freaking telemarketer at work who can't freakin' take the initiative, he is only there for 2.5 weeks and interrupts me every 10 minutes to ask a question. Most of the time it is a stupid question like "are we working on labour day" "can you tell me how to sort in Excel" FOR ****S SAKE it's telemarketing, how hard can it be!!!!
