if it wasn’t for the fucking customers.
Yes, we start today’s blog with a quote from Clerks.? God I love Randall.? Anyhoo… Maybe I should change the blog title to “bitching about work” and invite a few people to guest post from time to time.? That could be amusing.? Something to think about, anyway.
Seriously though, as much as I bitch about my job, I really do enjoy it most of the time.? I just like to bitch about the ultra-annoying customers or the ultra-rude customers from time to time.? Mostly because they represent (to me) one of the biggest problems with the world today.? A complete lack of courtesy.? I can tell you that it’s very rare that a person in line at the grocery store, who has a large order, will let a person with only a few items go ahead of them.? Usually when it happens, it’s a Senior Citizen who is extending the courtesy.? Somewhere along the way, we’ve become a very “me first” society.? Whatever happened to “do unto others?”? And these same people who wouldn’t so much as offer a stranger a quarter if they’re a little bit short wonder why they keep getting hit with so much bad karma.? Well kids, that’s what happens when you don’t put out a little good karma.? It doesn’t take much… let someone ahead of you in line if they’ve got a lot less than you.
One of the coolest things I ever saw at work… a couple of weeks ago, a young man paused after I rang him up and proceeded to bag the groceries for the elderly woman behind him.? Then he put her bags into her cart and offered to help her to her car.? When she thanked him and said that he really didn’t have to do that, he told her that he hoped that someone was being as kind to his mother when she went shopping.
Nice things like that…? You get what you give folks.? Just something to think about.
like my blog? buy me a coffee.
