The Revolt Has Begun!

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.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
