The service industry
So just one time I would like to actually see some customer service around here. It doesn't seem to matter what the business is. Convenience store, department store or fast food restaurant. It seems like every place I go I'm being a pain in the ass just because I would like to purchase something. Stop at the Sunoco for a soda or water and I get the evil eye from the person behind the counter. It would seem that I'm fucking up their break time. And by break time I mean the time you spend standing behind the register texting or talking on your bluetooth headset or maybe even holding phone to your ear. All I want to do is pay for this water and move on. I know you don't want me in your way but for fucks sake you're the one working here. You chose this job. I'm sorry you don't like it. I didn't like it when I did it either. But at least I was polite to every person that came in. And I never asked "Wha cho want?" or stared at you blankly without telling you how much the transaction total was. And while shopping I always seem to need something in the department where nobody is working. So I carry my stuff from counter to counter hoping to find somebody to ring me up. About the only place I can find actual "customer service" is at a restaurant. And we all know that I'm overly polite to anybody working in the food industry because I would never have the patience to deal with assholes all day. And I try to tip well every time, none of that dollar per person at the table kinda shit.
