5 Things to Watch For in This War on Customers

16
The Revolt Has Begun!
Starbucks

The servers strike back!! They are villainizing customers like never before and we brave, we few, we customers have to defend our rights and protect our interests at home and abroad.

For those of you who may be less informed, I speak of the travesty that befalls we customers on a daily basis. Here are just five, five, of the hundreds of obstacles that we must traverse to purchase goods and services.

1. We are looked down upon for saying, "Please," and, "Thank you."

What kind of world do we live in where we have the decency to say these things?! "Ain't nobody got time for dat!" But seriously. It's like we are expected to put in the extra effort when we just want our damn food. Oh and I need that new pair of jeans on that shelf. Pronto. Well? What are you waiting for, Debra? Hop to it!

2. We are constantly subjected to high prices that the cashier makes us pay. Out-freaking-rageous.

Seriously Daniel? 30 bucks for that tee? I am a working citizen who pays taxes. You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to swindle me out of 30 bucks when that shirt is maybe worth 10. How's $10 sound? No? I want to speak to your manager. You must be kidding me?


3. Every cashier and server is so unintelligent and I just cannot deal with their incompetence!

Oh. My. Gosh. Kevin you seriously need to make some changes in your life. I mean why don't you go to college and get a degree in math, or English, or French for crying out loud?! Anything! You need to get educated man.

*Looks at nephew*

This is why you go to college Jimmy. So you don't spend your life working in a pizza place like Kevin.


4. They hide the good stuff and horde it so we cannot have it. Those evil people.

What do you mean you don't have a Hawaiian pizza?! Look Seth, I know you have it stashed away somewhere with all of the other slices of pizza I want. I know it's not out with all the other pizza but I know you have it. Oh, and Jillian, I know you have my size of jeans in the back. Oh you looked just now? Why don't you take me back and show me yourself? I know you have them somewhere. Don't be playin' girl.


5. They expect us to actually read the signs they put up! How could they!?

Look Brittney, I know you have that bright red and yellow sign up, I just really don't feel like I need to read it. Why when I have you to walk me through every step of the process? What's that you say? Because I am supposed to order down at the end where the horde of customers is waiting? Well why didn't you say so?!? Gee, whiz you have to make things so complicated. And Joe, I really don't care about that cute little "wait here please" sign. I am in a hurry and you are going to check me out ASAP and I will use that extra 25 seconds to play my video games later.

But seriously the only way I am reading the sign is if I sue you when I run into it.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
