So, yesterday I showed up to work at around lunchtime, and I did my usual thing, collecting trolleys from the car park and putting them in the trolley bay, but one trolley had a plant in it that a customer had obviously left behind. It was a herb, "lemon grass". So I took it back inside and showed it to the other cashiers, and it turns out that the guy that had bought it had left about 5-10 minutes before I came to work. And it also turns out that this guy had bored the brains out of the cashier that served him by talking solely about the herb for over a quarter of an hour. So the staff (or "team members" as we're called) made a bit of a joke about it throughout the day. A cashier would say "herbs" and then someone else would say "herbs" and the next thing you know, everyone who works here is saying "herbs" to one another. Sounds like a pretty poor joke, huh? Well, it doesn't end there! I had the closing shift, along with two other guys. We shut everything down, and then one of the guys walks over to the PA mic and flicks the switch on and says "herbs" for the whole store to hear. The other guy had gone into the office. We hear the pager on the phone network beep, and then we hear him yelling into the phone "HERBS!!!"
It was so unexpected it was funny. And now, as an inside joke, I find the word "herbs" funny. So sue me.

Hehe, moar herbs.
I've never been one for taking supplement pills, though.
my father use to have that in his tea
we use to grow the stuff in the back yard but when we moved they never grew so well at the other place
also
Was it possible that your father was the enthusiastic, yet forgetful customer?
aha I have found a glitch with this new setup page thingy
when you have typed sometihng and send comment it moves but them quickly scrolls up!
My comment below yours agrees with this comment. Also, Maestro pointed this out to lilJim in the news thread.

I haven't seen him in awhile so he could be anywhere
I guess he could have moved to WA
Hi Dad!
Bunnings
where lowest prices are just a myth :P
unless you are a worker there and have a disount
Lowest prices. Widest range. Best service. You'd better fucking believe it.
didn't you have an alt at one point? I can't remember...
also: HERBS!!!!!
: because yelling random stuff is FUN!
and now I know your name, the town you live in, and the place where you work, so if I ever go to Australia and have time to burn, I'm going to spend it stalking you for no reason whatsoever, but what are the chances of that?
: what's with me recently? I have a strange urge to follow people, maybe I should see my Therapist...
SBREH!!!!!
SHERB!!!!!
SHREB!!!!!
: because anagrams are cool!
You don't know what I look like, though. You'd have to sift through my 2,300+ posts for a couple of pics of me dressed up.
I doubt you'll be in the neighbourhood any time soon, and if you find a reason to come to Perth (there's nothing real special there), chances are, you wouldn't find me there unless I actually wanted you to find me.
LOL
bunnings warehouse: where customer service belong soley to the workers
Huh, what are you talking about? I greet everyone who comes through the fucking door, and so does just about everyone else working in the store.
tried to get some stuff INSIDE the store for some stuff but never seem to get a straight snwer
I have been directed to the gardening section to get a set of paint brushes!
Lol. I often send people in the wrong direction, but it's usually because I have no idea what they're asking me for and I think it's something completely different to what they want. But then again, I've found a guy searching through the plumbing section of tarpaulin. It all depends on the people, really. That bunning should have hired and/or trained those people better. I have little to no knowledge of what I sell, but I can handle customer service pretty well. My store's won team/store of the year 4 times in a row, now.
have you ever said in a greeting
"hello welcome to bunnings, get you shit and get out"
Yes. But then I realised there was no-one there.
....have a nice day
NO >:(
a<a href="http://www..">www..</a>. someone is not having a good day?
*tries to tickle him*
stuff that, have this
*hands beer*
stuff the alcohol pop tax
Lol, I don't drink beer. I'm more of a spirits person.
Ah, inside jokes. The most funny of them all.
I have my fair share of them with friends and family alike.
Herbs.
Yeah.
But now I've shared the inside joke, more people understand it. Like you, for instance. Herbs is hilarious.
HERBS!
If you won't take that beer, I will :3
lol sure.
How's the flash going?
build a sign for ther store and write on it, "HERBS" and have an arrow pointing
There is a sign for herbs in the garden section...
The movie's doing ok, I sent you a pm.
Read, viewed, responded. Coming along awesome, WG. <3
