I see no reason for establishments and their employees to bend over for the customer and pamper him/her with smiles, chitchat, and "Have a nice day". Some customers act like spoiled, entitled brats and whine when they don't get their way.<br />It irks me to be interrupted by employees when I'm doing my shopping (if I really needed help, well, I could just step up and ask). All I want is for employees to do their jobs right.<br />To make a long story short, sometimes you just gotta grow a thick skin and suck it up. Life in general just isn't fair.<br />My two cents worth.<br />- JosepAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2130417962545118377.post-18235887532947279402013-08-08T11:11:58.259+02:002013-08-08T11:11:58.259+02:00Hahaha Kelly it's real fun reading your blog. ...Hahaha Kelly it's real fun reading your blog.
