Fries with that order
Have a nice day
ZEE
Any other Americanism that creeps in and takes over the language
People who catch bigger fish than me!
wrong cuts
Orange Oil
Ozito
Bunnings
taiwanese screws that break off

[RETIRED]

Companies that have no product knowledge.
Bunnings being called a trade store.
Try getting a thousand Tek screws bulk.

Salesmen that have even less product knowledge than the companies they work for.

Like:
Company reps that know how to take no for an answer and aren't full of bull.

Companies that know their products and offer great service.
