It's nice to see my company's rivals employ incompetent staff. The landlord of my local was telling me that he went to {insert company name} and placed a bet on a British boxer in the Olympics. The price offered was 8/1 by the staff member for the boxer to beat his next opponent. The landlord was puzzled... "are you sure those are the right odds?" but the staff member was adamant. 8/1 was the price. So the landlord upped the stakes to a £100 bet. Fight night arrives, surprise surprise, the boxer wins. He checks the papers and sees that the boxer's price was evens to win the fight and 8/1 to win the tournament. He will now pocket £900 because the staff member wasnt thorough in the checking, and the price given has GOT to be honoured. :rofl:
When coming back from Turkey, my friend bought some raki from a duty-free shop. In an attempt to haggle, he told the shopkeeper he couldn't afford £10 for the bottle, as he only had £7 on him. The shopkeeper agreed to £7, so my friend handed over two £5 notes (!) and was given £3 change! :rofl:
Ever gained due to the lack of competence of shop keepers or suchlike? Know anyone who has? Tell all
P.S. I am wearing a new t-shirt. It says
"34DD + 24 + 36 = 100% I've always had a head for figures!" cool huh??
